Abstract
Myeloid neoplasms post cytotoxic therapy (MN-pCT) are a category includes AML, MDS, and MDS/MPN arising in patients exposed to cytotoxic (DNA-damaging) therapy for an unrelated condition in 2022 version World Health Organization (WHO) classification. With improved survival of patients with tumors, the incidence of MN-pCT after chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy among patients with tumors has gradually risen. However, the outcome of MN-pCT is poorer than that of primary myeloid neoplasms. This review summarizes the current understanding based on existing research, as a foundation for further research on MN-pCT.

Haploidentical transplantation in primary refractory/relapsed secondary vs de novo AML: from the ALWP/EBMT. Blood Adv 2024; 8:4223-4233. [PMID: 38598754 PMCID: PMC11372397 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2024012798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACT We compared the outcomes of haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in 719 patients with primary refractory (PR) or first relapse (Rel) secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML; n = 129) vs those with de novo AML (n = 590), who received HSCT between 2010 and 2022. A higher percentage of patients with sAML vs de novo AML had PR disease (73.6% vs 58.6%; P = .002). In 81.4% of patients with sAML , the antecedent hematological disorder was myelodysplastic syndrome. Engraftment was 83.5% vs 88.4% in sAML and de novo AML, respectively (P = .13). In multivariate analysis, haplo-HSCT outcomes did not differ significantly between the groups: nonrelapse mortality hazard ratio (HR), 1.38 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.96-1.98; P = .083), relapse incidence HR, 0.68 (95% CI, 0.4.7.-1.00; P = .051). The HRs for leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free, and GVHD and relapse-free survival were 0.99 (95% CI, 0.76-1.28; P = .94), 0.99 (95% CI, 0.77-1.29; P = .97), and 0.99 (95% CI, 0.77-1.27; P = .94), respectively. We conclude that outcomes of haplo-HSCT with PTCy are not different for PR/Rel sAML in comparison with PR/Rel de novo AML, a finding of major clinical importance.

Abstract
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia post cytotoxic therapy (AML-pCT) among breast cancer (BC) survivors represents a life-threatening complication. This study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of AML-pCT post BC. Methods: An analysis of all AML patients treated at a single hematology center (2000-2023) was performed to select patients with AML-pCT post BC. We applied the 2022 ELN criteria to define the genetic risk. Results: Among 847 AML patients, 28 were diagnosed with AML-pCT following BC. Complex karyotype (CK) occurred in 23.8% of patients. The median overall survival (OS) was 40 months. The survival outcomes were better after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT) treatment compared to chemotherapy alone (median OS: 47 versus 7 months, p = 0.008). Patients demonstrating CK showed lower survival compared to those without CK (2-year OS: 25.0% versus 66.2%, p = 0.0048). The multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model indicated that treatment with alloHCT emerged as a significant factor associated with improved OS. The treatment was associated with superior OS (HR = 0.07, 95% CI = 0.01-0.86, p = 0.04). Conclusions: Patients with AML-pCT following BC were characterized with the highest frequency of adverse genetic risk profiles and demonstrated worse survival rates. AlloHCT should be performed as early as possible in such patients. The growing need for studies on inherited cancer susceptibility underscores the importance of close AML-pCT development monitoring in BC survivors.

Abstract
Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) is defined as a complication in patients with cancer following exposure to chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy and has an inferior outcome compared with de novo myelodysplastic syndrome (de novo MDS). This study aimed to estimate and compare the clinical outcomes of haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) for t-MDS and de novo MDS. We retrospectively analyzed 96 patients with MDS who received haplo-HSCT between January 2015 and December 2021. Eleven patients with t-MDS and 85 patients with de novo MDS were matched using the case-pair method in a 1:8 ratio with the following pairing criteria: (1) sex, (2) age (± 5 years), (3) year of haplo-HSCT (± 2 years), and (4) blast cell counts (≥ 5% or not). The 3-year overall survival and disease-free survival after haplo-HSCT for t-MDS versus de novo MDS patients were 72.7% versus 75.1% (P = 0.99) and 54.5% versus 67.0% (P = 0.50), respectively. The 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 36.4% versus 15.5% (P = 0.08), respectively. In multivariate analysis, there was no difference in relapse between t-MDS and de novo MDS. The 3-year cumulative non-relapse mortality rates were 9.1% versus 17.6% (P = 0.45), respectively. This study confirmed the comparable clinical outcomes of haplo-HSCT on the prognosis of t-MDS and de novo MDS.

Abstract
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who undergo high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (Auto-HCT) have an increased risk of developing therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia (t-MDS/AML). We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all MM patients who underwent an Auto-HCT at our institution between 1 January and 31 December 2018 and later developed t-MDS/AML. Among the 2982 patients who underwent at least 1 Auto-HCT, 55 (2%) developed t-MDS/AML (MDS, n = 52; AML, n = 3). The median age at t-MDS/AML diagnosis was 66 years (range 43-83 years), and the median time from Auto-HCT to t-MDS/AML diagnosis was 58.5 months (range 6-206 months). At diagnosis, all 3 patients with tAML and 65% of those with therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome (tMDS) had high-risk disease, per 2022 European LeukemiaNet and R-IPSS, respectively, and 62% had TP53 gene mutations. Patients who developed tMDS/AML were older at MM diagnosis (median 61 versus 59 years; P = .06), more often were male (73% versus 58%; P = .029), received more than 2 years of lenalidomide maintenance (57% versus 39%; P = .014), and experienced complete remission more frequently after Auto-HCT compared to those who did not develop t-MDS/AML (56% versus 40%; P = .012). In a multivariable model, male gender, advanced age at MM diagnosis, experiencing complete remission after Auto-HCT, and lenalidomide maintenance were independent predictors of developing t-MDS/AML. Among the patients who developed t-MDS/AML, 14 (25%) underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem transplantation (Allo-HCT). After a median follow-up of 9.9 months from t-MDS/AML diagnosis, the median overall survival (OS) after t-MDS/AML diagnosis was 11.8 months for all patients, and 18.2 months versus 11.1 months for Allo-HCT recipients versus nonrecipients, respectively (P = .25). On univariate analysis, receiving an alkylator as induction for MM (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.9 [1.3-6.3]; P = .009), age > 60 years (3.1 [1.2-8.2]; P = .025), and higher-risk R-IPSS (2.7 [1.3-6.0]; P=0.011) predicted worse OS after t-MDS/AML diagnosis. None of these retained significance in the multivariable analysis. T-MDS/AML after Auto-HCT for MM is associated with aggressive disease characteristics, including high-risk cytogenetics and TP53 mutations. The outcomes of patients remain poor, even with Allo-HCT. A better understanding of disease biology and novel therapeutic approaches is warranted.

Abstract
We compared outcomes, of 1609 patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) undergoing allogeneic transplantation (HSCT) in first complete remission (CR1) from matched unrelated donors (MUD) from 2010 to 2021, receiving or not receiving anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) (ATG-1308, no ATG-301). Median age was 60.9 (range, 18.5-77.8) and 61.1 (range, 21.8-75.7) years, (p = 0.3). Graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was cyclosporin-A with methotrexate (41%) or mycophenolate mofetil (38.2%), without significant differences between groups. Day 28, engraftment (ANC > 0.5 × 109/L) was 92.3% vs 95.3% (p = 0.17), respectively. On multivariate analysis, ATG was associated with lower incidence of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute GVHD (p = 0.002 and p = 0.015), total and extensive chronic GVHD (p = 0.008 and p < 0.0001), and relapse incidence (RI) (p = 0.039), while non-relapse mortality (NRM) did not differ (p = 0.51). Overall survival (OS), and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) were significantly higher in the ATG vs no ATG group, HR = 0.76 (95% CI 0.61-0.95, p = 0.014) and HR = 0.68 (95% CI 0.57-0.8, p < 0.0001), with a tendency for better leukemia-free survival (LFS), HR = 0.82 (95% CI 0.67-1, p = 0.051). The main causes of death were the original disease, infection, and GVHD. In conclusion, ATG reduces GVHD and improves LFS, OS, and GRFS in sAML patients without increasing the RI, despite sAML being a high-risk disease.

Abstract
Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is a therapeutic challenge as a late complication of chemotherapy (CHT) and/or radiotherapy (RT) for primary malignancy. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) presents itself as a curative approach. To establish the optimal allo-HSCT strategy for t-AML, we evaluated the relationship between characteristics of primary malignancy and allo-HSCT outcomes. Patients with t-AML or de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who underwent first allo-HSCT in Japan from 2011 to 2018 were identified using a nationwide database. The detailed background of t-AML was obtained by additional questionnaires. Multivariate analysis and propensity score matching (PSM) analysis were performed to detect the prognostic factors associated with t-AML and compare outcomes with de novo AML. We analyzed 285 t-AML and 6761 de novo AML patients. In patients with t-AML, receiving both CHT and RT for primary malignancy was an independent poor-risk factor for relapse and overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio (HR) 1.62; p = 0.029 and HR 1.65; p = 0.009, reference: CHT alone group), whereas other primary malignancy-related factors had no effect on the outcome. Compared to the CHT alone group, complex karyotypes were significantly increased in the CHT + RT group (86.1% vs. 57.5%, p = 0.007). In the PSM cohort, t-AML patients with prior CHT and RT had significantly worse 3-year OS than those with de novo AML (25.2% and 42.7%; p = 0.009). Our results suggest that prior CHT and RT for primary malignancy may be associated with increased relapse and worse OS of allo-HSCT in t-AML.

Abstract
Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MNs) encompass a specific sub-group of myeloid malignancies arising after exposure to radio/cytotoxic agents for the treatment of unrelated diseases. Such malignancies present unique features, including advanced age, high comorbidities burden, and unfavorable genetic profiles. All these features justify the need for a specific diagnostic work-up and dedicated treatment algorithms. However, as new classification systems recognize the unique clinical characteristics exhibited by t-MN patients, how to assess fitness status in this clinical setting is largely unexplored. Optimizing fitness assessment would be crucial in the management of t-MN patients, considering that factors usually contributing to a worse or better outcome (like age, comorbidities, and treatment history) are patient-specific. In the absence of specific tools for fitness assessment in this peculiar category of AML, the aim of this review is to describe all those factors related to patient, treatment, and disease that allow planning treatments with an optimal risk/benefit ratio.

Abstract
Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) are aggressive myeloid neoplasms. Factors predicting post-allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) survival are not well-known. We studied the prognostic utility of factors at: t-MN diagnosis, pre-alloSCT, and post-alloSCT. Primary endpoints were 3-year overall survival (OS), relapse incidence (RI), and non-relapse mortality (NRM). Post-alloSCT OS did not differ between t-MDS and t-AML (20.1 vs. 19.6 months, P = 1), though t-MDS had a significantly higher 3-year RI compared to t-AML (45.1% vs. 26.9%, P = 0.03). In t-MDS, the presence of monosomy 5 (HR 3.63, P = 0.006) or monosomy 17 (HR 11.81, P = 0.01) pre-alloSCT were associated with higher RI. Complex karyotype was the only factor adversely influencing survival at all the timepoints. The inclusion of genetic information yielded 2 risk-categories: high-risk defined by the presence of pathogenic variants (PV) in (TP53/BCOR/IDH1/GATA2/BCORL1) and standard-risk (remainder of the patients) with 3-year post-alloSCT OS of 0% and 64.6%, respectively (P = 0.001). We concluded that while alloSCT was curative in a subset of t-MN patients, outcomes remained poor, specifically in the high-risk category. t-MDS patients, especially those with persistent disease pre-alloSCT were at increased risk of relapse. Disease-related factors at t-MN diagnosis were the most prognostic of post-alloSCT survival; utility of factors available later in the course, was incremental.

Clinicopathologic Features of Therapy-Related Myeloid Neoplasms in Patients with Myeloma in the Era of Novel Therapies. Mod Pathol 2023; 36:100166. [PMID: 36990279 DOI: 10.1016/j.modpat.2023.100166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
The development of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) is a rare complication that can occur in myeloma patients treated primarily with novel therapies. To better understand t-MNs in this context, we reviewed 66 such patients and compared them with a control group of patients who developed t-MN after cytotoxic therapies for other malignancies. The study group included 50 men and 16 women, with a median age of 68 years (range, 48-86 years). Therapies included proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and high-dose melphalan-based autologous stem cell transplantation (HDM-ASCT) in 64 (97%), 65 (98.5%), and 64 (97%) patients, respectively; 29 (43.9%) patients were exposed to other cytotoxic drugs besides HDM. The latency interval from therapy to t-MN was 4.9 years (range, 0.6-21.9 years). Patients who received HDM-ASCT in addition to other cytotoxic therapies had a longer latency period to t-MN compared with patients who only received HDM-ASCT (6.1 vs 4.7 years, P = .009). Notably, 11 patients developed t-MN within 2 years. Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome was the most common type of neoplasm (n = 60), followed by therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (n = 4) and myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm (n = 2). The most common cytogenetic aberrations included complex karyotypes (48.5%), del7q/-7 (43.9%), and/or del5q/-5 (40.9%). The most frequent molecular alteration was TP53 mutation, in 43 (67.2%) patients and the sole mutation in 20 patients. Other mutations included DNMT3A, 26.6%; TET2, 14.1%; RUNX1, 10.9%; ASXL1, 7.8%; and U2AF1, 7.8%. Other mutations in less than 5% of cases included SRSF2, EZH2, STAG2, NRAS, SETBP, SF3B1, SF3A1, and ASXL2. After a median follow-up of 15.3 months, 18 patients were alive and 48 died. The median overall survival after the diagnosis of t-MN in the study group was 18.4 months. Although the overall features are comparable to the control group, the short interval to t-MN (<2 years) underscores the unique vulnerable status of myeloma patients.

Abstract
We compared outcomes of adult patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) versus de novo AML after non-T-depleted haploidentical stem cell transplant (HaploSCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). Seventeen hundred and eleven AML patients (sAML-231, de novo-1480) in first complete remission transplanted from 2010 to 2021, were included. Patients with de novo AML were younger, median age 55.8 versus 60.8 years, p < 0.0001, had better transplantation comorbidity index (HCT-CI) ≥ 3 21.3% versus 40.8%, p < 0.0001 and Karnofsky performance status (KPS) with KPS ≥ 90 in 78% versus 68.5%, respectively, p = 0.002. The two patient groups did not differ with respect to gender, cytomegalovirus serostatus, and cell source. Median time from diagnosis to HaploSCT was 5.2 versus 4.9 months, respectively, p = 0.005. Fewer sAML patients received myeloablative conditioning 35.1% versus 50.1%, p < 0.0001. Two hundred and eleven sAML and 410 de novo AML patients were included in the matched-pair analysis matching two de novo AML with each sAML. No significant difference was observed in any transplantation outcome parameter between the sAML versus de novo AML groups. Two-year non-relapse mortality and relapse incidence did not differ with HaploSCT for de novo versus sAML; 21.4% versus 21%, hazard ratio (HR) = 0.98, p = 0.9 and 23.4% versus 20.6%, HR = 0.92, p = 0.67, respectively. Two-year leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free, relapse-free survival were also not different between the de novo AML and sAML groups 55.2% versus 58.4%, HR = 0.95, p = 0.67; 61.4% versus 66.4%, HR = 0.91, p = 0.51 and 46.3% versus 48.2%, HR = 0.92, p = 0.48, respectively. Similarly, the incidence of engraftment as well as acute and chronic GVHD was similar between the 2 cohorts. In conclusion, HaploSCT with PTCy may be able to overcome the bad prognosis of sAML as results are not significantly different to those of HaploSCT in de novo AML.

Abstract
The sole curative therapy for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Here this therapeutic modality is reviewed and critically evaluated in the context of the evidence. Specific criteria were used for searching the published literature and for grading the quality and strength of the evidence and the strength of the recommendations. A panel of MDS experts comprising transplantation and nontransplantation physicians developed consensus treatment recommendations. This review summarizes the standard MDS indications for HCT and addresses areas of controversy. Recent prospective trials have confirmed that allogeneic HCT confers survival benefits in patients with advanced or high-risk MDS compared with nontransplantation approaches, and the use of HCT is increasing in older patients with good performance status. However, patients with high-risk cytogenetic or molecular mutations remain at high risk for relapse. It is unknown whether administration of novel therapies before or after transplantation may decrease the risk of disease relapse in selected populations. Ongoing and future studies will investigate revised approaches to disease risk stratification, patient selection, and post-transplantation approaches to optimize allogeneic HCT outcomes for patients with MDS.

In Pursuit of Genetic Prognostic Factors and Treatment Approaches in Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia—A Narrative Review of Current Knowledge. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11154283.

Abstract
Secondary acute myeloid leukemia can be divided into two categories: AML evolving from the antecedent hematological condition (AHD-AML) and therapy related AML (t-AML). AHD-AML can evolve from hematological conditions such as myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative neoplasms, MDS/MPN overlap syndromes, Fanconi anemia, and aplastic anemia. Leukemic transformation occurs as a consequence of the clonal evolution—a process of the acquisition of mutations in clones, while previous mutations are also passed on, leading to somatic mutations accumulation. Compared de novo AML, secondary AML is generally associated with poorer response to chemotherapy and poorer prognosis. The therapeutic options for patients with s-AML have been confirmed to be limited, as s-AML has often been analyzed either both with de novo AML or completely excluded from clinical trials. The treatment of s-AML was not in any way different than de novo AML, until, that is, the introduction of CPX-351—liposomal daunorubicin and cytarabine. CPX-351 significantly improved the overall survival and progression free survival in elderly patients with s-AML. The only definitive treatment in s-AML at this time is allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. A better understanding of the genetics and epigenetics of s-AML would allow us to determine precise biologic drivers leading to leukogenesis and thus help to apply a targeted treatment, improving prognosis.

Abstract
Limited data is available on factors impacting the outcomes of second hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT2) in patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML). This study aimed to assess HCT2 outcome for sAML comparing reduced-intensity (RIC) to myeloablative (MAC) conditioning. Two hundred and fifteen patients were included: RIC (n = 134), MAC (n = 81). The median follow-up was 41.1 (95% CI: 26.7-69.3) and 28.5 (95% CI: 23.9-75.4) months, respectively. At two years, the relapse incidence (RI) was 58.3% versus 51.1% in RIC and MAC, respectively. The 2-year leukemia free survival (LFS) was 26.6% versus 26%, and the graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) was 16.4% versus 12.1%, while OS was 31.4% and 39.7%, for RIC and MAC respectively. MVA showed a significantly lower RI [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.46 (95% CI, 0.26-0.8, p = 0.006)] and improved LFS [HR = 0.62 (95% CI, 0.39-0.98, p = 0.042)] with MAC versus RIC. The choice of conditioning regimen did not impact non-relapse mortality [HR = 1.14 (95% CI, 0.52-2.5, p = 0.74)], overall survival (OS) [HR = 0.72 (95% CI, 0.44-1.17, p = 0.18)] or GRFS [HR = 0.89 (95% CI, 0.59-1.36, p = 0.6)]. In conclusion, MAC was associated with a lower RI and superior LFS. These results support the use of MAC for eligible patients with sAML who are being considered for HCT2.

Abstract
PURPOSE Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome and acute leukemias (t-MDS/AL) are a major cause of nonrelapse mortality among pediatric cancer survivors. Although the presence of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in adult patients at cancer diagnosis has been implicated in t-MDS/AL, there is limited published literature describing t-MDS/AL development in children. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed molecular characterization of 199 serial bone marrow samples from 52 patients treated for high-risk neuroblastoma, including 17 with t-MDS/AL (transformation), 14 with transient cytogenetic abnormalities (transient), and 21 without t-MDS/AL or cytogenetic alterations (neuroblastoma-treated control). We also evaluated for CH in a cohort of 657 pediatric patients with solid tumor. RESULTS We detected at least one disease-defining alteration in all cases at t-MDS/AL diagnosis, most commonly TP53 mutations and KMT2A rearrangements, including involving two novel partner genes (PRDM10 and DDX6). Backtracking studies identified at least one t-MDS/AL-associated mutation in 13 of 17 patients at a median of 15 months before t-MDS/AL diagnosis (range, 1.3-32.4). In comparison, acquired mutations were infrequent in the transient and control groups (4/14 and 1/21, respectively). The relative risk for development of t-MDS/AL in the presence of an oncogenic mutation was 8.8 for transformation patients compared with transient. Unlike CH in adult oncology patients, TP53 mutations were only detectable after initiation of cancer therapy. Last, only 1% of pediatric patients with solid tumor evaluated had CH involving myeloid genes. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate the clinical relevance of identifying molecular abnormalities in predicting development of t-MDS/AL and should guide the formation of intervention protocols to prevent this complication in high-risk pediatric patients.

Abstract
Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndromes (t-MDS) are generally progressive and associated with poorer outcomes than de novo MDS (d-MDS). To evaluate the outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for t-MDS, we conducted a propensity score matched-pair analysis of patients with t-MDS and d-MDS using a nationwide database. A total of 178 patients with t-MDS underwent allo-HSCT between 2001 and 2018, and 178 out of 3,123 patients with d-MDS were selected. The probability of 3-year overall survival rate was 40.0% and 50.0% in the t-MDS and d-MDS groups, respectively (P=0.032). The 3-year transplant-related mortality was 30.9% and 19.0% in the t-MDS and d-MDS groups, respectively (P=0.005). The 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 32.8% and 33.0% in the t-MDS and d-MDS groups, respectively (P=0.983). A multivariate analysis identified four adverse factors for overall survival in the t-MDS group: age ≥55 years (hazard ratio [HR], 2.09; 95% CI, 1.11-3.94; P=0.023), the poor cytogenetic risk group (HR, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.40-4.19; P=0.019), performance status at allo-HSCT 2-4 (HR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.19-3.86; P=0.011), and a shorter interval from diagnosis to transplantation (<8 months) (HR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.00-2.57; P=0.048). The most frequent cause of transplant-related death was the infectious complications (21.6%) in t-MDS group and organ failure (12.5%) in d-MDS group. In conclusion, allo-HSCT potentially provides long-term remission in patients with t-MDS; however, further efforts to reduce transplant-related death are needed.

Abstract
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a diverse group of hematological malignancies distinguished by a combination of dysplasia in the bone marrow, cytopenias and the risk of leukemic transformation. The hallmark of MDS is bone marrow failure which occurs due to selective growth of somatically mutated clonal hematopoietic stem cells. Multiple prognostic models have been developed to help predict survival and leukemic transformation, including the international prognostic scoring system (IPSS), revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R), WHO prognostic scoring system (WPSS) and MD Anderson prognostic scoring system (MDAPSS). This risk stratification informs management as low risk (LR)-MDS treatment focuses on improving quality of life and cytopenias, while the treatment of high risk (HR)-MDS focuses on delaying disease progression and improving survival. While therapies such as erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs), erythroid maturation agents (EMAs), immunomodulatory imide drugs (IMIDs), and hypomethylating agents (HMAs) may provide benefit, allogeneic blood or marrow transplant (alloBMT) is the only treatment that can offer cure for MDS. However, this therapy is marred, historically, by high rates of toxicity and transplant related mortality (TRM). Because of this, alloBMT is considered in a minority of MDS patients. With modern techniques, alloBMT has become a suitable option even for patients of advanced age or with significant comorbidities, many of whom who would not have been considered for transplant in prior years. Hence, a formal transplant evaluation to weigh the complex balance of patient and disease related factors and determine the potential benefit of transplant should be considered early in the disease course for most MDS patients. Once alloBMT is recommended, timing is a crucial consideration since delaying transplant can lead to disease progression and development of other comorbidities that may preclude transplant. Despite the success of alloBMT, relapse remains a major barrier to success and novel approaches are necessary to mitigate this risk and improve long term cure rates. This review describes various factors that should be considered when choosing patients with MDS who should pursue transplant, approaches and timing of transplant, and future directions of the field.

Abstract
With advances in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT), disease relapse has replaced transplant-related mortality as the primary cause of treatment failure for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The efficacy of allo-HCT in AML is a consequence of a graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect that is mediated by T lymphocytes, and unique mechanisms of immune evasion underlying post-allo-HCT AML relapses have recently been characterized. Relapsed AML following allo-HCT presents a particularly vexing clinical challenge because transplant-related toxicities, such as graft-versus-host (GVHD) and infections, increase the risk of treatment-related morbidity and mortality. In general, the prognosis of relapsed AML following allo-HCT is poor with most patients failing to achieve a subsequent remission and 2-year survival consistently <15%. The two factors that have been found to predict a better prognosis are a longer duration of post-transplant remission prior to relapse and a lower disease burden at the time of relapse. When considered in combination with a patient's age; co-morbidities; and performance status, these factors can help to inform the appropriate therapy for the treatment of post-transplant relapse. This review discusses the options for the treatment of post-transplant AML relapse with a focus on the options to achieve a subsequent remission and consolidation with cellular immunotherapy, such as a second transplant or donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). While intensive reinduction therapy and less intensive approaches with hypomethylating agents have long represented the two primary options for the initial treatment of post-transplant relapse, molecularly targeted therapies and immunotherapy are emerging as potential alternative options to achieve remission. Herein, we highlight response and survival outcomes achieved specifically in the post-transplant setting using each of these approaches and discuss how some therapies may overcome the immunologic mechanisms that have been implicated in post-transplant relapse. As long-term survival in post-transplant relapse necessarily involves consolidation with cellular immunotherapy, we present data on the efficacy and toxicity of both DLI and second allo-HCT including when such therapies are integrated with reinduction. Finally, we provide our general approach to the treatment of post-transplant relapse, integrating both novel therapies and our improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying post-transplant relapse.

Abstract
Long-term outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (tMNs) are dismal. There are few multicenter studies defining prognostic factors in pediatric patients with tMNs. We have accumulated the largest cohort of pediatric patients who have undergone HCT for a tMN to perform a multivariate analysis defining factors predictive of long-term survival. Sixty-eight percent of the 401 patients underwent HCT using a myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen, but there were no statistically significant differences in the overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), or cumulative incidence of relapse and non-relapse mortality based on the conditioning intensity. Among the recipients of MAC regimens, 38.4% of deaths were from treatment-related causes, especially acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) and end-organ failure, as compared to only 20.9% of deaths in the reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) cohort. Exposure to total body irradiation (TBI) during conditioning and experiencing grade III/IV acute GVHD was associated with worse OS. In addition, a diagnosis of therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome and having a structurally complex karyotype at tMN diagnosis were associated with worse EFS. Reduced-toxicity (but not reduced-intensity) regimens might help to decrease relapse while limiting mortality associated with TBI-based HCT conditioning in pediatric patients with tMNs.

Abstract
Relapse is the most common cause of treatment failure following allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (alloBMT) for AML or MDS. Post-transplant maintenance therapies may prevent relapse. We conducted a phase II trial combining azacitidine (AZA) with GM-CSF in non-relapsed, post-transplant patients with AML or MDS. Patients received escalating doses of AZA to a maximum of 75 mg/m2 for 5 days per cycle for up to 12 cycles. GM-CSF was given on days 1-10 of each cycle. Eighteen patients were treated following non-myeloablative (17) and myeloablative (1) alloBMT for AML (61.1%), MDS (27.7%), or therapy-related myeloid neoplasm (11.1%). The majority of patients (72%) received their graft from an HLA-haploidentical donor. The treatment was well-tolerated with rare grade 3-4 hematologic toxicities. One patient suffered an exacerbation of GVHD. The 24-month relapse-free and overall survivals were 47 and 57%, respectively, with a median of 18.6 and 29 months.

Abstract
Patients who develop therapy-related myeloid neoplasm, either myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) or acute myelogenous leukemia (t-AML), have a poor prognosis. An earlier Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) analysis of 868 allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantations (allo-HCTs) performed between 1990 and 2004 showed a 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of 22% and 21%, respectively. Modern supportive care, graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, and reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens have led to improved outcomes. Therefore, the CIBMTR analyzed 1531 allo-HCTs performed in adults with t-MDS (n = 759) or t-AML (n = 772) between and 2000 and 2014. The median age was 59 years (range, 18 to 74 years) for the patients with t-MDS and 52 years (range, 18 to 77 years) for those with t-AML. Twenty-four percent of patients with t-MDS and 11% of those with t-AML had undergone a previous autologous (auto-) HCT. A myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen was used in 49% of patients with t-MDS and 61% of patients with t-AML. Nonrelapse mortality at 5 years was 34% (95% confidence interval [CI], 30% to 37%) for patients with t-MDS and 34% (95% CI, 30% to 37%) for those with t-AML. Relapse rates at 5 years in the 2 groups were 46% (95% CI, 43% to 50%) and 43% (95% CI, 40% to 47%). Five-year OS and DFS were 27% (95% CI, 23% to 31%) and 19% (95% CI, 16% to 23%), respectively, for patients with t-MDS and 25% (95% CI, 22% to 28%) and 23% (95% CI, 20% to 26%), respectively, for those with t-AML. In multivariate analysis, OS and DFS were significantly better in young patients with low-risk t-MDS and those with t-AML undergoing HCT with MAC while in first complete remission, but worse for those with previous auto-HCT, higher-risk cytogenetics or Revised International Prognostic Scoring System score, and a partially matched unrelated donor. Relapse remains the major cause of treatment failure, with little improvement seen over the past 2 decades. These data mandate caution when recommending allo-HCT in these conditions and indicate the need for more effective antineoplastic approaches before and after allo-HCT.

Abstract
Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MNs) are a late complication of cytotoxic therapy and are defined as a distinct entity by the World Health Organization. Although the link between chemotherapy exposure and risk of subsequent t-MN is well described, the association between radiation monotherapy (RT) and t-MN risk is less definitive. We analyzed 109 consecutive patients who developed t-MNs after RT and describe latencies, cytogenetic profile, mutation analyses, and clinical outcomes. The most common cytogenetic abnormality was a clonal abnormality in chromosome 5 and/or 7, which was present in 45% of patients. The median latency from RT to t-MN diagnosis was 6.5 years, with the shortest latency in patients with balanced translocations. One-year overall survival (OS) was 52% and 5-year OS was 22% for the entire cohort. Patients with chromosome 5 and/or 7 abnormalities experienced worse 1-year OS (37%) and 5-year OS (2%) compared with other cytogenetic groups (P < .0001). Sixteen patients underwent net-generation sequencing; ASXL1 and TET2 were the most commonly mutated genes (n = 4). In addition, 17 patients underwent germline variant testing and 3 carried pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline variants. In conclusion, patients with t-MN after RT monotherapy have increased frequencies of chromosome 5 and/or 7 abnormalities, which are associated with poor OS. In addition, pathogenic germline variants may be common in patients with t-MN after RT monotherapy.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex, aggressive myeloid neoplasm characterized by frequent somatic mutations that influence different functional categories' genes, resulting in maturational arrest and clonal expansion. AML can arise de novo (dn-AML) or can be secondary AML (s-AML) refers to a leukemic process which may arise from an antecedent hematologic disorder (AHD-AML), mostly from a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) or can be the result of an antecedent cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy (therapy-related AML, t-AML). Clinical and biological features in secondary and therapy-related AML are distinct from de novo AML. Secondary and therapy-related AML occurs mainly in the elderly population and responds worse to therapy with higher relapse rates due to resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy. Over the last decade, advances in molecular genetics have disclosed the sub-clonal architecture of secondary and therapy-related AML. Recent investigations have revealed that cytogenetic abnormalities and underlying genetic aberrations (mutations) are likely to be significant factors dictating prognosis and critical impacts on treatment outcome. Secondary and therapy-related AML have a poorer outcome with adverse cytogenetic abnormalities and higher recurrences of unfavorable mutations compared to de novo AML. In this review, we present an overview of the clinical features of secondary and therapy-related AML and address the function of genetic mutations implicated in the pathogenesis of secondary leukemia. Detailed knowledge of the pathogenetic mechanisms gives an overview of new prognostic markers, including targetable mutations that will presumably lead to the designing and developing novel molecular targeted therapies for secondary and therapy-related AML. Despite significant advances in knowing the genetic aspect of secondary and therapy-related AML, its influence on the disease's pathophysiology, standard treatment prospects have not significantly evolved during the past three decades. Thus, we conclude this review by summarizing the modern and developing treatment strategies in secondary and therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia.

Abstract
Therapy related acute leukemia consists of a unique subset of acute leukemia with an increased frequency of high risk cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities, dismal response to therapy, higher relapse rates and poor overall survival. Therapy related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is a better defined disease entity than therapy related acute lymphoid leukemia (t-ALL). However, in recent times, t-ALL is also being increasingly recognized and extensively studied. Therapy related acute myeloid leukemia is usually classified together with therapy related myelodysplastic syndrome. However, the management of these two diseases maybe different regarding needs of induction chemotherapy and eligibility for upfront allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo HSCT). There is also evidence regarding differences in prognosis and outcomes between these two entities. Allo HSCT offers a potential for cure in t-AML and t-ALL. However, existing literature on the same is confounded by inclusion of t-MDS and secondary acute leukemias. Here we review the current evidence on the outcomes and predictors of outcomes of Allo HSCT in the management of therapy related acute leukemias. We also shed light into the under-representation of therapy related leukemias in clinical trials. This stresses the need for prospective trials incorporating measurable residual disease monitoring and sequential next generation sequencing based genomic data for accurate prognostication and management of therapy related acute leukemia.

ELN risk stratification and outcomes in secondary and therapy-related AML patients consolidated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Bone Marrow Transplant 2021; 56:936-945.

Abstract
Secondary or therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (s/tAML) differs biologically from de novo disease. In general s/tAML patients have inferior outcomes after chemotherapy, compared to de novo cases and often receive allogeneic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for consolidation. The European LeukemiaNet (ELN) risk stratification system is commonly applied in AML but the clinical significance is unknown in s/tAML. We analyzed 644 s/tAML or de novo AML patients receiving HSCT. s/tAML associated with older age and adverse risk, including higher ELN risk. Overall, s/tAML patients had similar cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), but higher non-relapse mortality (NRM) and shorter overall survival (OS). In multivariate analyses, after adjustment for ELN risk and pre-HSCT measurable residual disease status, disease origin did not impact outcomes. Within the ELN favorable risk group, CIR was higher in s/tAML compared to de novo AML patients likely due to a different distribution of genetic aberrations, which did not translate into shorter OS. Within the ELN intermediate and adverse group outcomes were similar in de novo and s/tAML patients. Thus, not all s/tAML have a dismal prognosis and outcomes of s/tAML after allogeneic HSCT in remission are comparable to de novo patients when considering ELN risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Existing literature on allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is confounded by the inclusion of patients with secondary AML and t-MDS. We aim to report our 20-year experience of HSCT in t-AML. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients with t-AML who underwent HSCT. Patients were analyzed for prior malignancy, therapy, time to diagnosis of t-AML, transplant details, relapse-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and predictors of outcomes. RESULTS In total, 68 patients (59.9% female; median age, 56.5 years) underwent HSCT. Acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurred in 39 (57.4%) and 23 (33.8%) patients, respectively. Cumulative incidence of relapse, nonrelapse mortality, RFS, and OS at 2 years were 17.9%, 34.5%, 47.6%, and 49.3%, respectively. Significant predictors of reduced OS were presence of 11q23 rearrangement (hazard ratio [HR], 3.24), using induction regimens other than FLAG-Ida or 7 + 3 (HR, 3.65), haploidentical donors (HR, 3.48), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 2 or higher (HR, 5.83), and using cyclosporine A-methotrexate as GVHD prophylaxis (HR, 2.41). A significant decrement in survival was seen with an increasing number of any of these prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Outcomes of t-AML are satisfactory after allo-HSCT. Patients with t-AML with good-risk karyotypes, good performance status, having HLA-matched donors, and receiving intensive induction regimens have better outcomes after HSCT.

Abstract
The role of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in the management of newly diagnosed adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is reviewed and critically evaluated in this evidence-based review. An AML expert panel, consisting of both transplant and nontransplant experts, was invited to develop clinically relevant frequently asked questions covering disease- and HCT-related topics. A systematic literature review was conducted to generate core recommendations that were graded based on the quality and strength of underlying evidence based on the standardized criteria established by the American Society of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Steering Committee for evidence-based reviews. Allogeneic HCT offers a survival benefit in patients with intermediate- and high-risk AML and is currently a part of standard clinical care. We recommend the preferential use of myeloablative conditioning in eligible patients. A haploidentical related donor marrow graft is preferred over a cord blood unit in the absence of a fully HLA-matched donor. The evolving role of allogeneic HCT in the context of measurable residual disease monitoring and recent therapeutic advances in AML with regards to maintenance therapy after HCT are also discussed.

Abstract
Acute leukemia is a constellation of rapidly progressing diseases that affect a wide range of patients regardless of age or gender. Traditional treatment options for patients with acute leukemia include chemotherapy and hematopoietic cell transplantation. The advent of cancer immunotherapy has had a significant impact on acute leukemia treatment. Novel immunotherapeutic agents including antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific T cell engagers, and chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapies have efficacy and have recently been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with acute leukemia. The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) convened a panel of experts to develop a clinical practice guideline composed of consensus recommendations on immunotherapy for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia.

Abstract
A subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) arises either from an antecedent myeloid malignancy (secondary AML, sAML) or as a complication of DNA-damaging therapy for other cancers (therapy-related myeloid neoplasm, t-MN). These secondary leukemias have unique biological and clinical features that distinguish them from de novo AML. Over the last decade, molecular techniques have unraveled the complex subclonal architecture of sAML and t-MN. In this review, we compare and contrast biological and clinical features of de novo AML with sAML and t-MN. We discuss the role of genetic mutations, including those involved in RNA splicing, epigenetic modification, tumor suppression, transcription regulation, and cell signaling, in the pathogenesis of secondary leukemia. We also discuss clonal hematopoiesis in otherwise healthy individuals, as well as in the context of another malignancy, and how it challenges the conventional notion of sAML/t-MN. We conclude by summarizing the current and emerging treatment strategies, including allogenic transplant, in these complex scenarios.

Abstract
Normal karyotype in therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is rare and the relative contribution of prior exposure to chemotherapy or radiotherapy to outcomes in these patients remains uncertain. We performed a retrospective study of 742 patients with newly diagnosed AML and normal karyotype (t-AML, n = 61, and non-t-AML, n = 681). Patients with t-AML were older but had a similar mutational profile compared to those with non-t-AML. Overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were significantly worse for patients with t-AML (P < 0.01 and P = 0.02, respectively). Patients with t-AML had a higher cumulative incidence of death in remission (51% versus 16%, P < 0.01), but not higher cumulative incidence of relapse (42% versus 56%, respectively, P = 0.21). Both intensive induction and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in first remission were associated with improved OS and RFS in non-t-AML but not in t-AML. Overall, although disease biology appears similar between t-AML and non-t-AML with normal karyotype as indicated by similar risks of relapse, death in remission is the main driver of inferior outcome in t-AML. Careful therapeutic decisions are required to mitigate potential treatment-related toxicity in this rare subgroup of patients with t-AML and normal karyotype.

Abstract
Secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) is a complex diagnosis that includes AML caused by either an antecedent hematologic disease (AML-AHD) or from previous treatment with chemotherapy or radiation. This disease carries a poor prognosis and is historically chemorefractory; additionally, often patients are ineligible for standard chemotherapy because of advanced age and other comorbidities. The advances of molecular diagnostics and reclassification of World Health Organization criteria have aided in the categorization of this disease. This article describes the etiology and pathophysiology of sAML, and delves into past successful treatments as well as promising new treatments.

Abstract
Prospective evidence for management of therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is limited, with evidence extrapolated from major AML trials. Optimal treatment is challenging and needs consideration of patient-specific, disease-specific, and therapy-specific factors. Clinical trials are recommended, especially for unfit patients or those with unfavorable cytogenetics or mutations. CPX-351 as an upfront intensive chemotherapy is preferred for fit patients; venetoclax with decitabine or azacitidine is an option for patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy. Hematopoietic cell transplant, the only curative option, should be offered to eligible patients with intermediate or unfavorable t-AML or patients with good-risk AML with minimal residual disease. Ongoing clinical trials focusing on treatment of t-AML, including targeted agents and immunotherapy, bode well for the future.

Abstract
Metastasis of cancer cells to the bone marrow is relatively rare, despite being one of the most important causes of myelosuppression in patients with solid tumours. A bone marrow examination via a biopsy is the standard method of diagnosing cancer cell invasion into the bone marrow. However, it is sometimes challenging to distinguish neuroendocrine carcinoma cells from haematopoietic cells due to their small, round shape and chromosomal abnormalities resembling haematological malignancies. We herein report a case of bone marrow invasion of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium mimicking therapy-related myeloid malignancy.

Abstract
Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a rare complication with no curative option. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) may be considered for eligible patients and has been understudied in t-MDS. We report 47 consecutive patients with t-MDS after an ASCT who underwent allo-HSCT with a median age of 58 years (range, 30 to 71 years) at transplantation and a median follow-up of 22 months (range, 0.7 to 107). The median overall survival (OS) was 6.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 0 to 19 months). OS rates were 45% (29% to 60%) and 30% (15% to 45%) at 1 and 3 years after transplantation, respectively. On univariate analysis, prior therapy for t-MDS before allo-HSCT (P = .02) and mismatched donors (P = .004) were associated with poor OS. Three-year nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and relapse rates were 44% (25% to 63%) and 41% (22% to 61%), respectively. Mismatched donors (P < .001) were associated with higher NRM and a high-risk MDS (P = .008) with a higher relapse risk. On multivariate analysis, HLA mismatch was associated with higher NRM (hazard ratio, 6.21; 95% CI, 1.63 to 23.62; P = .007). In conclusion, our results suggest that one third of the patients who develop t-MDS after an ASCT for lymphoma are cured after an allo-HSCT. The use of mismatched donors with standard graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis should be avoided in such an indication for allo-HSCT. It will be worthwhile to see if the implementation of cyclophosphamide post-transplantation will improve the outcome with mismatched donors.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are rare disorders in children, showing peculiar clinical manifestations and biological features. This review will summarize biological, genetic and clinical features of childhood MDS and will provide an update of the algorithm of treatment of the different disease variants. RECENT FINDINGS The most recent classification of MDS includes refractory cytopenia of childhood (RCC), advanced and therapy-related MDS. Importantly, in children, these clonal hematopoietic disorders may be often associated with inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, this representing a challenge for diagnostic work-up and treatment. Moreover, germline syndromes predisposing to develop MDS/acute myeloid leukemia have been recently identified, such as those caused by mutations in GATA2, ETV6, SRP72 and SAMD9/SAMD9-L. SUMMARY Treatment of childhood MDS varies according to specific disease features; allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using a Human Leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical donor, whenever available, represents the treatment of choice for most of these children. HSCT is indicated in MDS with excess of blasts, or in therapy-related MDS. For RCC patients, HSCT is recommended for RCC associated with monosomy 7, or complex karyotype and for patients showing severe neutropenia or transfusion dependence. Novel approaches of HSCT from an HLA-haploidentical relative after selective graft manipulation allow reducing transplant-related complications.

Abstract
Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) arises as a late complication following antecedent solid tumors or hematologic diseases and their associated treatments. There are limited data regarding risk factors and outcomes following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for t-AML following a prior solid tumor, and furthermore, the impact of myeloablative (MAC) vs reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) on survival is unknown. The acute leukemia working party (ALWP) of the European society for blood and bone marrow transplantation (EBMT) performed a large registry study that included 535 patients with t-AML and prior solid tumor who underwent first MAC or RIC allogeneic HCT from 2000-2016. The primary endpoints of the study were OS and LFS. Patients receiving RIC regimens had an increase in relapse incidence (hazard ratio [HR], 1.52; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-2.26; P = 0.04), lower LFS (HR, 1.52; 95% CI 1.12-2.05, P = 0.007), and OS (HR, 1.51; CI 1.09-2.09; P = 0.012). There were no differences in NRM and GRFS. Importantly, LFS and OS were superior in patients receiving ablative regimens due to a decrease in relapse. As NRM continues to decline in the current era, it is conceivable that outcomes of HCT for t-AML with prior solid tumor may be improved by careful patient selection for myeloablative regimens.
