Study design/Summary: This is a 2 arm, phase II, multicentre, randomised clinical trial in adult patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in complete remission (CR) undergoing a allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) comparing the novel conditioning regimen of TBI and cyclophosphamide with the standard conditioning of fludarabine/melphalan/alemtuzumab (FMA)
Objectives: The primary objectives of this study are to compare the disease free survival at two years of patients with ALL after a TBI and cyclophosphamide stem cell transplant with that of patients transplanted using the FMA conditioning regimen. There are also other objectives in addition to the primary one which include; overall survival; cumulative incidence of disease relapse, non-relapse mortality; incidence of grade 2-4 acute graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD), incidence of chronic GvHD of any grade, occurrence and severity of veno-occlusive disease (VOD); duration of hospitalisation in the first year; quality of file, full donor chimerism at day 100 and TBI related symptomatic pulmonary toxicity following allogenic SCT.
