Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The ALL SCTped 2012 FORUM is a multinational, multi-centre, controlled, prospective phase III study for the therapy and therapy optimisation for children and adolescents with ALL in complete morphological remission (CR, less than 5% bone marrow blasts, no blasts in cerebrospinal fluid, no other extramedullary leukemia), who have an indication for HSCT with a myeloablative conditioning regimen. The stratification of patients in first and following remissions according to the individual transplantation modalities rests upon an indication for allogeneic HSCT and the availability of a suitable donor within the individual transplantation groups.

- description
- Fludarabine/Thiotepa/Treosulfan is used as conditioning regimen for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with: * MSD (matched sibling donors) or MD (matched related or unrelated donors). In addition, patients undergoing MD HSCT will receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon. * MMD (mismatched donors) with CB (Cord blood) or TCD (T-Cell depletion) or CD34+ selection. In addition, these patients will receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon. * MMD (mismatched donors) patients receiving Post TX-Cyclophosphamide

- description
- TBI (Total Body Irradiation) / VP16 is used as conditioning regimen for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients older than 48 months with: * MSD (matched sibling donors) or MD (matched related or unrelated donors). In addition, patients undergoing MD HSCT will receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon. * MMD (mismatched donors) with CB (Cord blood) or TCD (T-Cell depletion) or CD34+ selection. In addition, these patients will receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon. * MMD (mismatched donors) patients receiving Post TX-Cyclophosphamide. Patients aged 24-48 months may optionally receive Total Body Irradiation (TBI).
