BACKGROUND: In acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), increased cell burden in the peripheral blood due to either the disease itself or early treatment with all-trans retinoic acid could cause hyperleukocytosis (HL) before induction chemotherapy. However, therapeutic leukapheresis has seldom been used because of concerns of subsequent coagulopathy after this invasive procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of leukapheresis in APL, especially for efficacy and safety.
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed newly diagnosed patients with APL from January 2009 to March 2022. Among 323 patients, 85 had white blood cell count above 40 × 109/L before induction chemotherapy. Thirty-nine patients were initially treated with leukapheresis, whereas the other 46 were not. Clinical and laboratory parameters between these groups were compared.
RESULTS: There was a trend toward favorable 30-day survival rate for the leukapheresis group compared with the non-leukapheresis group (76.9% and 67.4%; P = 0.24). The complications including subsequent intensive unit care (P = 0.23), severe hemorrhagic events (P = 0.13) showed no significant differences between the two groups. The patients were divided into subcohorts, and the survival rates of the leukapheresis and non-leukapheresis groups were 92.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 77.8%-100.0%) versus 58.3% (95% CI, 38.6%-78.1%) (P = 0.03) in "sequential HL" and 76.7% (95% CI, 61.5%-91.8%) versus 54.8% (95% CI, 37.3%-72.4%) (P = 0.03) in "symptomatic HL," respectively. Moreover, in the "sequential HL" subcohort, the cumulative incidence of differentiation syndrome and following adverse events were significantly lower in the leukapheresis group.
CONCLUSIONS: In APL with "sequential HL" or "symptomatic HL" from either the disease itself or the effect of all-trans retinoic acid, therapeutic leukapheresis could be applied to reduce leukemic cell burden without significant risks.
