Fludarabine, busulfan, and melphalan conditioning regimen in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for adult patients with myeloid malignancies: A multicenter retrospective study. EJHAEM 2024; 5:757-767. [PMID: 39157627 PMCID: PMC11327722 DOI: 10.1002/jha2.947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
Relapse remains the main cause of treatment failure in patients with myeloid malignancies even after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We observed a particularly low incidence of relapse in patients prepared with fludarabine, busulfan and melphalan in our previous study and this multicenter retrospective analysis aimed to confirm the feasibility of the regimen and to identify the potential prognostic factors. This study was performed using registry data from adults patients with myeloid malignancies who underwent their first allo-HSCT following fludarabine(≥100 mg/m2), busulfan (≥3.2 mg/kg) and melphalan (≥100 mg/m2) based conditioning at nine transplantation centers in China between Jan. 2020 and Mar. 2022. A total of 221 consecutive patients (AML n = 171, MDS-IB-1 or 2 n = 44, CMML n = 6) with median age of 46 were enrolled in this study. The median follow-up was 507 days for survivors. The 2-year NRM, CIR, OS and DFS were 10.6% ± 2.2%, 14.8% ± 3.3%, 79.4% ± 3.7% and 74.6% ± 3.7%, respectively. In multivariate analyses, high HCT-CI (≥3) was the only independent factor for higher NRM [hazard ratio (HR), 2.96; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.11 to 7.90; p = 0.030] and ECOG score ≥2 was the only independent factor for inferior OS (HR, 2.43; 95%CI, 1.15 to 5.16; p = 0.020) and DFS (HR, 2.12; 95%CI, 1.13 to 4.02; p = 0.020). AML diagnosis and positive measurable residual disease (MRD) at transplantation were predictors for higher CIR (HR = 7.92, 95%CI 1.05-60.03, p = 0.045; HR = 3.64, 95%CI 1.40-9.44, p = 0.008; respectively), while post-transplantation cyclophosphamide based graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis was associated with lower CIR (HR = 0.24 95%CI 0.11-0.54, p = 0.001). The intensity of conditioning regimen did not impact CIR, NRM, DFS and OS. These results supported that double alkylating agents of busulfan and melphalan based conditioning regimens were associated with low relapse rate and acceptable NRM in adult patients with myeloid malignancies. The optimal dose remained to be confirmed by further prospective studies.

Survival after allogeneic transplantation according to pretransplant minimal residual disease and conditioning intensity in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Front Oncol 2024; 14:1394648. [PMID: 38756667 PMCID: PMC11096800 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1394648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The measurement of minimal residual disease (MRD) by multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a powerful prognostic factor. The interaction of pretransplant MRD and the conditioning intensity has not yet been clarified. Objective The aim of this study is to analyze the transplant outcomes of patients with AML who underwent HSCT in complete remission (CR), comparing patients with positive MRD (MRD+) and negative MRD (MRD-) before HSCT, and the interaction between conditioning intensity and pre-HSCT MRD. Study design We retrospectively analyzed the transplant outcomes of 118 patients with AML who underwent HSCT in CR in a single institution, comparing patients with MRD+ and MRD- before HSCT using a cutoff of 0.1% on MFC, and the interaction between conditioning intensity and pre-HSCT MRD. Results Patients with MRD+ before HSCT had a significantly worse 2-year (2y) event-free survival (EFS) (56.5% vs. 32.0%, p = 0.018) than MRD- patients, due to a higher cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) at 2 years (49.0% vs. 18.0%, p = 0.002), with no differences in transplant-related mortality (TRM) (2y-TRM, 19.0% and 25.0%, respectively, p = 0.588). In the analysis stratified by conditioning intensity, in patients who received MAC, those with MRD- before HSCT had better EFS (p = 0.009) and overall survival (OS) (p = 0.070) due to lower CIR (p = 0.004) than MRD+ patients. On the other hand, the survival was similar in reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) patients regardless of the MRD status. Conclusions Patients with MRD+ before HSCT have worse outcomes than MRD- patients. In patients who received MAC, MRD- patients have better EFS and OS due to lower CIR than MRD+ patients, probably because they represent a more chemo-sensitive group. However, among RIC patients, results were similar regardless of the MRD status.

Allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation for therapy-related myeloid neoplasms arising following treatment for lymphoma: a retrospective study on behalf of the Chronic Malignancies Working Party of the EBMT.

Abstract
Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN), either myelodysplastic neoplasms (t-MDS) or acute myeloid leukemias (t-AML), have a poor prognosis and allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) represents the only curative option. In this multicenter, registry-based study, we analyzed outcomes of 378 patients undergoing first allo-HCT between 2006-2017 for t-MN arising secondary to lymphoma treatment. Median age was 58 years at allo-HCT; 222 (59%) had a diagnosis of t-MDS and 156 (41%) of t-AML, respectively. At the time of allo-HCT, 46% of t-MN cases were reported as in complete remission (CR) and 15% of lymphomas were recorded as not in remission. A reduced intensity conditioning regimen was used in 70% of cases. For the entire cohort, 5-year OS, and t-MN PFS, relapse incidence and NRM were 32%, 28%, 35% and 37%, respectively. In multivariable analysis, undergoing allo-HCT with t-MN not in CR and older age were associated with significantly worse OS, PFS and NRM. At 5 years post allo-HCT, the relapse incidence of lymphoma was low at 3%, while the rate of secondary malignancies was 8%. This analysis shows the curative potential of allo-HCT for patients with t-MN arising secondary to lymphoma treatment in approximately a third of patients.

Efficacy of venetoclax combined with decitabine conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in high-risk and elderly patients with myeloid neoplasms. Ann Hematol 2023; 102:3603-3611. [PMID: 37878011 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-023-05500-2] [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: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
This prospective clinical investigation focused on the addition of venetoclax and decitabine to myeloablative conditioning regimens, targeting high-risk and elderly individuals undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In total, 19 patients were enrolled in the trial between December 2021 and February 2023, and their progress was monitored for a median follow-up period of 258 days, ranging from 35 to 544 days. In the initial regimen (n=11), venetoclax was administered at a dosage of 400 mg per day from day -14 to day -1, while in the modified regimen (n=8), it was administered from day -14 to day -5. Decitabine was orally administered at a dosage of 20mg/m2/day from day -7 to day -3. Grade 3/4 adverse events observed included hematological events, hypertension, infections, allergy, and increased amylase. In the entire cohort, the overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) rates at 6 months were 63% (95% CI, 45-89) and 63% (95% CI, 45-89), respectively. The non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate at 6 months was 37% (95% CI, 16-58), while the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was 0. However, the incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and grade III-IV aGVHD within 100 days was found to be 31% (95% CI, 12-53) and 26% (95% CI, 9-47), respectively. These rates indicate a relatively high occurrence, making it less suitable to administer the regimen to elderly patients. Therefore, further high-quality studies are required to enhance the conditioning regimen specifically for high-risk and elderly patients diagnosed with myeloid neoplasms. Clinical trial registration: ChiCTR2100050272.
