Infusional alemtuzumab followed by consolidating allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in eligible patients is considered a standard of care in T‐cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T‐PLL). Antibody selection against CD52 has been associated with the development of CD52‐negative leukemic T cells at time of relapse. Clinical implications and molecular mechanisms underlying this phenotypic switch are unknown.
