Treatment Patterns and Clinical Outcomes of Patients with Moderate to Severe Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease: A Multicenter Chart Review Study.

Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) remains a barrier to successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) outcomes. Contemporary comprehensive analyses of real-world clinical outcomes among patients who develop aGVHD post-HSCT are needed to better understand the unmet needs of this patient population. This multicenter, retrospective chart review describes treatment patterns and clinical outcomes among patients (≥18 years old) from Finland, Sweden, and France who developed grades II-IV aGVHD after their first HSCT (January 2016-June 2017). From 13 participating centers, 151 patients were included. The median (Q1, Q3) age at HSCT was 56 (45, 62) years old. One line of aGVHD treatment was received by 47.7%, and the most common first-line treatment was methylprednisolone (alone or in a combination regimen, 74.2%; monotherapy, 25.8%). Among patients treated with methylprednisolone, 79.5% achieved a complete or partial response. The median (Q1, Q3) number of treatment lines was 2.0 (1.0, 3.0). The median (Q1, Q3) time to obtain an aGVHD diagnosis from transplant was 29.5 (21.0, 44.0) days, and 14.5 (7.0, 34.0) days to achieve the best response for 110 evaluable patients. At 6 and 12 months, 53.6% and 49.0%, respectively, achieved a complete response. Chronic GVHD occurred in 37.7% of patients, and aGVHD reoccurred in 26.5%. Following aGVHD diagnosis, mortality rates were 30.0% at 6 months and 37.3% at 12 months. Findings from this study demonstrate a continuing unmet need for new therapies that control aGVHD and improve mortality.

Peripheral blood stem cell versus bone marrow graft for patients ≥60 years undergoing reduced intensity conditioning haploidentical transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia in complete remission: An analysis of the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

In the context of T-cell replete haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo-SCT) using post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy), it is still unknown whether peripheral blood (PB) or bone marrow (BM) is the best graft source. While PB is associated with a higher incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), it may induce a stronger graft-versus-leukemia effect compared to BM, notably in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). From the EBMT registry database, we compared T-cell replete PB (n = 595) versus BM (n = 209) grafts in a large cohort of 804 patients over the age of 60 years who underwent Haplo-SCT with PT-Cy for an AML in first or second complete remission. The risk of acute GVHD was significantly higher in the PB group (Grade II-IV: HR = 1.67, 95% CI [1.10-2.54], p = 0.01; Grade III-IV: HR = 2.29, 95% CI [1.16-4.54], p = 0.02). No significant difference was observed in chronic GVHD or non-relapse mortality. In the PB group, the risk of relapse was significantly lower in the PB group (HR = 0.65, 95% CI [0.45-0.94], p = 0.02) and leukemia-free survival was significantly better (HR = 0.76, 95% CI [0.59-0.99], p = 0.04), with a trend toward better overall survival (HR = 0.78, 95% CI [0.60-1.01], p = 0.06). We conclude that in the specific context of Haplo-SCT with PT-Cy, PB grafts represent a valid option to decrease the risk of relapse and improve outcome of older AML patients who usually do not benefit from conditioning intensification.

Transplantation for myelofibrosis patients in the ruxolitinib era: a registry study from the Société Francophone de Greffe de Moelle et de Thérapie Cellulaire.

In this SFGM-TC registry study, we report the results after stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in 305 myelofibrosis patients, in order to determine potential risk factors associated with outcomes, especially regarding previous treatment with ruxolitinib. A total of 102 patients were transplanted from an HLA-matched-sibling donor (MSD), and 143 patients received ruxolitinib. In contrast with previous studies, our results showed significantly worse outcomes for ruxolitinib patients regarding overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM), especially in the context of unrelated donors (URD). When exploring reasons for potential confounders regarding the ruxolitinib effect, an interaction between the type of donor and the use of ATG was found, therefore subsequent analyses were performed separately for each type of donor. Multivariable analyses did not confirm a significant negative impact of ruxolitinib in transplantation outcomes. In the setting of URD, only age and Fludarabine-Melphalan (FM) conditioning were associated with increased NRM. For MSD, only Karnoksfy <70% was associated with reduced OS. However, a propensity score analysis showed that ruxolitinib had a negative impact on OS but only in non-responding patients, consistent with previous data. To conclude, with all the precautions due to confounders and bias, ruxolitinib itself does not appear to increase mortality after HSCT.

Durable engraftment after pharmacological pre-transplant immune suppression followed by reduced-toxicity myeloablative haploidentical stem cell transplantation in highly HLA-immunized adults with sickle cell disease.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT) is the only rapidly available curative treatment modality in patients with severe sickle cell disease (SCD). The development of reduced-toxicity myeloablative conditioning (RT-MAC) regimen and the use of partially matched family donors with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) have widened the access to Allo-SCT. Antibodies against donor-specific HLA (DSA) increase the risk of engraftment failure in HLA mismatched Allo-SCT. We report the results of five patients with SCD, whereas three with DSA, who underwent an unmanipulated haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo-SCT) after a busulfan-based RT-MAC regimen with PT-Cy. To reduce the risk of engraftment failure, a sequential two courses pharmacological pre-transplant immune suppression (PTIS) phase was added prior to the conditioning regimen. All patients engrafted successfully. The procedure was well tolerated. None of the patients developed acute GVHD, whereas one developed moderate chronic GVHD. After a median follow-up of 5 years (range, 2.2-9), all patients are free of pain with excellent quality of life. Our report shows that Haplo-SCT after a RT-MAC regimen is feasible and safe with stable long-term engraftment and excellent disease control. The risk of graft failure can be abrogated by adding a PTIS phase prior to initiating the conditioning regimen.

Bone marrow graft versus peripheral blood graft in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cells transplantation: a retrospective analysis in1344 patients of SFGM-TC registry.

The use of peripheral blood (PB) or bone marrow (BM) stem cells graft in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis remains controversial. Moreover, the value of adding anti-thymoglobulin (ATG) to PTCy is unknown. A total of 1344 adult patients received an unmanipulated haploidentical transplant at 37 centers from 2012 to 2019 for hematologic malignancy. We compared the outcomes of patients according to the type of graft, using a propensity score analysis. In total population, grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) were lower with BM than with PB. Grade III-IV aGVHD was lower with BM than with PB + ATG. All outcomes were similar in PB and PB + ATG groups. Then, in total population, adding ATG does not benefit the procedure. In acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome and myeloproliferative syndrome (AL-MDS-MPS) subgroup receiving non-myeloablative conditioning, risk of relapse was twice greater with BM than with PB (51 vs. 22%, respectively). Conversely, risk of aGVHD was greater with PB (38% for aGVHD II-IV; 16% for aGVHD III-IV) than with BM (28% for aGVHD II-IV; 8% for aGVHD III-IV). In this subgroup with intensified conditioning regimen, risk of relapse became similar with PB and BM but risk of aGVHD III-IV remained higher with PB than with BM graft (HR = 2.0; range [1.17-3.43], p = 0.012).

Peripheral blood haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation for patients aged 70 years and over with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.

Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo-SCT) using non-myeloablative conditioning regimen (NMAC) has extended the feasibility of allogeneic transplantation, notably in older patients. However, there is few data specifically focusing on patients aged 70 years and over with AML and MDS. Thus the benefit of transplantation in this population is still debated. Here we report our single center experience of peripheral blood Haplo-SCT with NMAC and post-transplantation cyclophosphamide in AML and MDS patients aged 70 years and over. We analyzed 50 patients (27 AML, 23 MDS) with a median age of 72 years (70-77), 12/50 (24%) with active disease at Haplo-SCT. Cumulative incidence of grade 3-4 acute and moderate or severe chronic GVHD were 6% and 25%, respectively. Non-relapse mortality (NRM) at day +100 was 0%. NRM, relapse, PFS and OS at 3 years were 16%, 18%, 66%, and 69%, respectively. Among patients who were disease free at 2 years post Haplo-SCT, 88% are living without immunosuppressive treatment. Peripheral blood Haplo-SCT is feasible in selected AML/MDS patients over 70 years, without any early NRM. It produces long-term disease control and survival. Thus, age by itself should not be considered as a formal barrier to Haplo-SCT.

Life-threatening toxicities upon Pembrolizumab intake: could pharmacokinetics be the bad guy?

PURPOSE: We report the case of an adult patient diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma who was scheduled for Pembrolizumab after failure of standard therapy. After three well-tolerated courses of Pembrolizumab, a PET scan showed a favorable outcome and a fourth course of Pembrolizumab was started. Unexpectedly, extremely severe toxicities (i.e., autoimmune peripheral hypothyroidism, rhabdomyolysis and severe acute renal failure) occurred after this last course, requiring transfer to the intensive care unit. METHODS: Therapeutic drug monitoring was performed to measure residual Pembrolizumab levels at intervals from the last dose (i.e., 120 and then 170 days), as well as pharmacogenetics investigations on the FCγR gene. RESULTS: Pembrolizumab plasma concentrations that were still pharmacologically active months after the last administration, suggesting impaired elimination of Pembrolizumab in this patient. Further pharmacokinetic modeling based on the population approach showed that both half-life (47.8 days) and clearance (0.12 L/day) values were significantly different from the standard values usually reported in patients. Further in silico simulations showed that pharmacologically active concentrations of Pembrolizumab were maintained for up to 136 days after the last dose. The search for possible polymorphisms affecting the genes coding for FCγR (i.e., rs1801274 on FCGR2A and rs396991 on FCGR3A gene) was negative. Further TDM showed that Pembrolizumab could be detected up to 263 days after the last administration. CONCLUSION: This case report suggests that persistent overexposure in plasma could lead to life-threatening toxicities with Pembrolizumab.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for adults with therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia: a retrospective multicentre study on behalf of the SFGM-TC.

We report the results from a multicentre retrospective study of 220 adult patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) for therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia (t-AML). Median age at t-AML diagnosis was 56 years, with a prior history of haematological (45%) or breast (34%). Median time from cytotoxic exposure to t-AML diagnosis was 54.7 months. At transplant, around 20% of patients had measurable residual disease and 3% of patients were not in complete remission. The median follow-up was 21.4 months (Q1-Q3, 5.9-52.8). At 12 months, overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), and graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD)-free-relapse-free survival (GRFS) were 60.7% (95% CI 54.6-67.5), 52.8% (95% CI 46.5-68.4), and 44.1% (95% CI 37.6-51.8), respectively. At 5 years, OS, EFS, and GRFS were 44.1% (95% CI 37.4-52.1), 40.4% (95% CI 33.9-48.1), and 35.3% (95% CI 28.8-43.3), respectively. At last follow-up, 44% of patients were in complete remission (n = 96) and transplant-related mortality accounted for 21% of all deaths (n = 119). Multivariable analysis revealed that uncontrolled t-AML at transplant was associated with lower EFS (HR 1.94, 95% CI 1.0-3.7, p = 0.041). In conclusion, alloHSCT for t-AML shows encouraging results and offers additional opportunity with the emergence of novel pre-graft therapies.

Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide combined with tacrolimus and low-dose post-engraftment anti-thymoglobulin as GVHD prophylaxis for patients undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from haploidentical family donor: A single center analysis.

Introduction: Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) use is a recent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis strategy for patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). PT-Cy combined with two immunosuppressants is now widely used after haplo-identical (haplo) and HLA-matched peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantations with promising GVHD and relapsefree survival (GRFS) probabilities. Although appealing, these results may benefit from improvement notably outside matched sibling donor transplantation, and should be investigated in various ethnic populations. Methods: Therefore, we report our experience of GVHD prophylaxis regimen combining PT-Cy and tacrolimus with addition of post-engraftment low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in allogeneic stem cell transplantation from haplo-identical donors (Haplo). Sixtyseven patients were included in the analysis. All patients received myeloablative or intensified sequential conditioning regimen. Results: The median follow-up was 521 (range, 10~991) days. The cumulative incidences of 100-day grade II-IV acute GVHD was 14.9±4.4%, and no case of grade III-IV acute GVHD was documented. The cumulative incidences of 2-yearchronic GVHD and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD were 25.4±5.4% and 11.9±4%, respectively. The non-relapse mortality at day+100 and 2year were 7.5±3.2% and 9.0±3.5%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of relapse at 2year was 16±6.4%. The 2-year probability of DFS and OS were 73.8% (95%CI, 61.5~88.4%) and 72.5% (95% CI, 57.1~92.1%), respectively. The 2-year GRFS was estimated as 63.6% (95%CI, 50.6~80%). Discussion: Our results suggested that a combination of PT-Cy, tacrolimus, and low-dose post-engraftment ATG was a promising GVHD prophylaxis with low incidence of acute GVHD in the haplo-transplantation setting.

Graft-versus-host disease and relapse/rejection-free survival after allogeneic transplantation for idiopathic severe aplastic anemia: a comprehensive analysis from the SAAWP of the EBMT.

Survival after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for severe idiopathic aplastic anemia (SAA) has improved in recent years, approaching 75% at 5 years. However, an SAA-adapted composite endpoint, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and relapse/rejection-free survival (GRFS), may more accurately assess patient outcomes beyond survival. We analyzed GRFS to identify risk factors and specific causes of GRFS failure. Our retrospective analysis from the Severe Aplastic Anemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation included 479 patients with idiopathic SAA who underwent allo-HSCT in two conventional situations: i) upfront allo-HSCT from a matched related donor (MRD) (upfront cohort), and ii) allo-HSCT for relapsed or refractory SAA (rel/ref cohort). Relevant events for GRFS calculation included graft failure, grade 3-4 acute GvHD, extensive chronic GvHD, and death. In the upfront cohort (n=209), 5-year GRFS was 77%. Late allo-HSCT (i.e., >6 months after SAA diagnosis) was the main poor prognostic factor, specifically increasing the risk of death as the cause of GRFS failure (hazard ratio [HR]=4.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.41-11.83; P=0.010). In the rel/ref cohort (n=270), 5-year GRFS was 61%. Age was the main factor significantly increasing the risk of death (HR=1.04; 95% CI: 1.02-1.06; P<0.001), acute GvHD (HR=1.03; 95% CI: 1.00-1.07; P=0.041), and chronic GvHD (HR=1.04; 95% CI: 1.01-1.08; P=0.032) as the cause of GRFS failure. GRFS after upfront MRD allo-HSCT was very good, notably with early allo-HSCT, confirming that younger patients with an MRD should be transplanted immediately. GRFS was worse in cases of salvage allo-HSCT, most notably in older patients, questioning the utility of allo-HSCT earlier in the disease course.

Reduced post-transplant cyclophosphamide doses in haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation for elderly patients with hematological malignancies.

Although post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) is effective for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, it is associated with toxicities, which might be dose-dependent. We compared the outcomes with PT-Cy at 80 mg/kg to those with PT-Cy at 100 mg/kg in elderly patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Inclusion criteria included peripheral blood stem cells, hematological malignancy, and age>65 years (or age>60 years if cardiac event history). Thirty-eight patients received PT-Cy at 80 mg/kg and 55 100 mg/kg, divided in two doses. The cumulative incidences (CI) of acute grade II-IV, acute grade III-IV, and moderate/severe chronic GVHD were 32%, 16%, and 13% with PT-Cy at 80 mg/kg compared to 33%, 13%, and 16% with 100 mg/kg, respectively. In multivariable analysis, reducing PT-Cy dose had no significant impact on GVHD. Neutrophil and platelet engraftments were significantly improved, and CI of BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis was reduced with 80 mg/kg of PT-Cy compared to 100 mg/kg. At 2 years, non-relapse mortality was 16% and 31%, progression-free survival 65% and 49%, overall survival 70% and 56%, and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival 52% and 36% with 80 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, respectively. Reducing PT-Cy dose to 80 mg/kg is safe and associated with improved hematological recovery and lower CI of hemorrhagic cystitis in elderly patients undergoing haploidentical HCT.

Donor lymphocyte infusions after haploidentical stem cell transplantation with PTCY: A study on behalf of the EBMT cellular therapy & immunobiology working party.

Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is a treatment option to prevent or treat relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We here report data for 173 patients who received one or multiple DLIs after haploidentical-HCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) at 47 EBMT centers from 2009 to 2018. Indication for DLI was: prophylactic for 59 (34.3%), preemptive for 20(11.6%), and therapeutic for 93(54.1%). For the prophylactic group, the median number of DLIs was 1 (IQR:1-2.5) with a median first dose of 0.1 × 106 CD3+ T cell/kg, for the preemptive 2 (IQR:1-3) with 0.5 × 106 CD3+ T cell/kg, for the therapeutic 1 (IQR:1-3) with 1 × 106CD3+ Tcell/kg, respectively. OS after first DLI was 61% (46-75%) for prophylactic, 40% (19-61%) for preemptive, and 22% (13-31%) for therapeutic. CI of II-IV aGVHD and cGVHD was 17% (7-27%) and 53% (40-67%) for the prophylactic, 20% (2-38%) and 21% (3-39%) for the preemptive, 17% (9-24%) and 24% (15-33%) for the therapeutic group, respectively. Our data show great variability in the indications and modalities of DLI across responding EBMT centers. Survival rates remain relatively low in patients with active disease. While the cumulative incidence of aGVHD appears acceptable, we showed a high incidence of cGVHD in the prophylactic group, compared with preemptive and therapeutic DLI. These data should be investigated further in prospective clinical trials.

Mass Cytometry Reveals Classical Monocytes, NK Cells, and ICOS+ CD4+ T Cells Associated with Pembrolizumab Efficacy in Patients with Lung Cancer.

PURPOSE: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but predictive biomarkers of their efficacy are imperfect. The primary objective is to evaluate circulating immune predictors of pembrolizumab efficacy in patients with advanced NSCLC. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We used high-dimensional mass cytometry (CyTOF) in baseline blood samples of patients with advanced NSCLC treated with pembrolizumab. CyTOF data were analyzed by machine-learning algorithms (Citrus, tSNE) and confirmed by manual gating followed by principal component analysis (between-group analysis). RESULTS: We analyzed 27 patients from the seminal KEYNOTE-001 study (median follow-up of 60.6 months). We demonstrate that blood baseline frequencies of classical monocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and ICOS+ CD4+ T cells are significantly associated with improved objective response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival (OS). In addition, we report that a baseline immune peripheral score combining these three populations strongly predicts pembrolizumab efficacy (OS: HR = 0.25; 95% confidence interval = 0.12-0.51; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: As this immune monitoring is easy in routine practice, we anticipate our findings may improve prediction of ICI benefit in patients with advanced NSCLC.

Impact of second-degree related donor on the outcomes of T cell-replete haploidentical transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide.

Donor selection may contribute to improve clinical outcomes of T cell-replete haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo-SCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy). Impact of second-degree related donor (SRD) was not fully elucidated in this platform. We retrospectively compared the outcome of patients receiving Haplo-SCT either from a SRD (n = 31) or a first-degree related donor (FRD, n = 957). Median time to neutrophil and platelet recovery did not differ between a SRD and a FRD transplant (p = 0.599 and 0.587). Cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus host disease (GVHD) and moderate-severe chronic GVHD was 13% and 19% after SRD vs 24% (p = 0.126) and 13% (p = 0.395) after FRD transplant. One-year cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 19% for SRD and 20% for FRD (p = 0.435) cohort. The 3-year probability of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was 42% vs 55% (p = 0.273) and 49% vs 35% (p = 0.280) after SRD and FRD transplant, respectively. After propensity score adjustment or matched pair analysis, the outcome of patients receiving Haplo-SCT from a SRD or a FRD did not differ in terms of NRM, OS, PFS, acute and chronic GVHD. Our results suggest that a SRD is a viable option for Haplo-SCT with PT-Cy when a FRD is not available.

Hepatic haemophagocytosis in haematology patients with hepatic dysfunction: prognostic impact and contribution of liver biopsy combined with the haemophagocytic syndrome diagnostic score (HScore).

Hepatic dysfunction (HD) is common in patients with haematological malignancies. Hepatic haemophagocytosis (HH) was detected in >50% of liver biopsies taken when HD remained unresolved after standard examination. We aimed to explore the contribution of liver biopsy in patients with both haematological malignancies and HD, describe the population of patients with HH, assess the prognostic impact of HH, and investigate haemophagocytic syndrome diagnostic score (HScore) utility in patients with HH. Between 2016 and 2019, 116 consecutive liver biopsies (76 transjugular, 40 percutaneous) were taken in 110 patients with haematological malignancy and HD (hyperbilirubinaemia, elevated transaminases, and/or cholestasis) and without a clear diagnosis. Liver biopsies were safe and diagnostically efficient. Predominant diagnoses included: HH (56%), graft-versus-host disease (55%), associated infections (24%), sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (15%), and tumoral infiltration (8%). Of patients, 35% were critically ill and 74% were allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients, while 1-year overall survival (OS) was 35% with HH versus 58% without HH (p = 0.026). The 1-year OS was 24% with a HScore of ≥169 versus 50% with a HScore of <169 (p = 0.019). Liver biopsies are feasible in and contribute significantly to haematology patients with HD. HH occurred frequently and was associated with a poor prognosis. Combined with liver biopsy, the HScore may be helpful in refining haemophagocytic syndrome diagnosis.

Reduced intensity versus non-myeloablative conditioning regimen for haploidentical transplantation and post-transplantation cyclophosphamide in complete remission acute myeloid leukemia: a study from the ALWP of the EBMT.

The optimal conditioning regimen prior haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo-SCT) with post transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains unknown. A non-myeloablative conditioning (NMAC) regimen (cyclophosphamide + fludarabine + TBI 2 Gy [CyFluTBI]) is a safe approach, but relapse incidence remains high in this setting. Alternatively, a reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen combining thiotepa and reduced-dose busulfan with fludarabine (TBF) may decrease AML relapse. However, an excess of toxicity may counterbalance this potential benefit. We retrospectively compared CyFluTBI vs. TBF in CR AML patients who underwent Haplo-SCT with PT-Cy, in two different populations based on age. We analyzed 490 patients. In patients aged <60 years (n = 203), we observed a higher RI (HR = 3.59, 95% CI = 1.75-7.37, p < 0.01), lower LFS (HR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.22-3.22, p < 0.01) and lower OS (HR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.04-2.88, p = 0.04) in the CyFluTBI group, without significant difference in NRM. In older patients (n = 287), we observed that conditioning regimen did not significantly influence LFS (HR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.56-1.44, p = 0.65), OS (HR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.49-1.32, p = 0.39) and RI (HR = 1.78, 95% CI = 0.90-3.50, p = 0.10), but showed that CyFluTBI was associated with a significantly lower risk of NRM (HR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.25-0.92, p = 0.03). Thus, younger patients seem to benefit from conditioning intensification from CyFluTBI to TBF regimens prior PT-Cy Haplo-SCT for CR AML, while older ones do not.
