%X This PASS-ALL study was designed to explore the effect of paediatric-inspired versus adult chemotherapy regimens on survival of adolescents and young adults (AYA) with high-risk Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (HR PH-ve B-cell ALL) eligible for allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The PASS-ALL study is a multicentre, observational cohort study, and 143 patients with HR B-cell PH-ve ALL were enrolled from five centres-77 patients allocated in the paediatric-inspired cohort and 66 in the adult cohort with comparable baseline characteristics. Of the 143 patients, 128 cases underwent allo-HSCT. Three-year leukaemia-free survival (LFS) in the paediatric-inspired cohort was 72.2% (95% CI 60.8%-83.6%) compared with 44.6% (95% CI 31.9%-57.3%; p = 0.001). Furthermore, time-to-positive minimal residual disease (TTP-MRD) post-HSCT was marked different, 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 25.9% (95% CI 15.8%-37.2%) in paediatric cohort and 45.4% (95% CI 40.0%-57.9%) in adult cohort (p = 0.026). Finally, the 3-year OS rate was 75.3% (95% CI 64.9%-85.7%) for the paediatric-inspired cohort and 64.1% (95% CI 51.8%-76.4%) for the adult cohort (p = 0.074). On a multivariate analysis, paediatric-inspired regimen is a predictive factor for LFS (HR = 2.540, 95% CI 1.327-4.862, p = 0.005). Collectively, our data suggest that paediatric-inspired chemotherapy pre-HSCT results in deeper and durable MRD response reduces relapse post-HSCT and improves survival in HR B-cell PH-ve ALL patients with allo-HSCT.
