Abstract
Accessibility to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) programs for older patients is growing constantly. We report on the clinical outcomes of a group of 701 adults aged ≥70 years, with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1), who received a first HCT, from HLA-matched sibling donors (MSD), 10/10 HLA-matched unrelated donors (UD), 9/10 HLA-mismatched unrelated donors (mUD) or haploidentical (Haplo) donors. The 2-year overall survival (OS) was 48.1%, leukemia-free survival (LFS) 45.3%, relapse incidence (RI) 25.2%, non-relapse mortality (NRM) 29.5% and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS), 33.4%. Compared to MSD, patients transplanted from Haplo and UD presented lower RI (HR 0.46, 95% CI 0.25–0.8, p= 0.02 and HR 0.44, 95% CI: 0.28–0.69, p= 0.001, respectively); this translated into prolonged LFS for Haplo (HR 0.62, 95% CI: 0.39–0.99, p= 0.04). Patients transplanted from mUD exhibited the highest NRM incidence (HR 2.33, 95% CI: 1.26–4.31, p= 0.007). HCT in selected adult CR1 AML patients >70 years is feasible and could be associated with good clinical outcomes. Prospective clinical trials are warranted.
