Comparison of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with chemotherapy in older adults with acute myeloid leukemia
Bone marrow transplantation(2023)
摘要
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) outcomes are very poor in older patients. Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) helps to achieve long-term survival. However, the benefit of haplo-SCT versus chemotherapy is unclear in older adults with AML. Outcomes were retrospectively compared among patients aged 55‒65 years for chemotherapy consolidation or haplo-SCT for AML in the first complete remission with intermediate to high-risk disease. Forty-six patients who underwent chemotherapy and 38 patients who underwent haplo-SCT were evaluated in the final analysis. Compared with the chemotherapy group, patients in the haplo-SCT group had significantly better overall survival (OS) (74.0% versus 23.9% at 36 months, p = 0.005) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) (74.0% versus 21.6%, p < 0.001). The cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was significantly lower in the haplo-SCT group (17.3% versus 75.4%, p < 0.001). Treatment-related mortality (TRM) was similar in the haplo-SCT and chemotherapy groups (7.9% versus 4.8%, p = 0.587). In the multivariate analysis, haplo-SCT was associated with improved OS, LFS, and decreased CIR. Haplo-SCT did not affect TRM. In conclusion, our data suggest that haploidentical transplant may be an alternative to consolidation chemotherapy as post-remission therapy in patients with intermediate or high-risk AML aged 55‒65 years. Further well-designed studies are needed to validate this result.
