Improved donor chimerism in relapse myelofibrosis post allogenic stem cell transplant with azacitidine and oral decitabine—First case report

Abstract To date, allogenic stem cell transplant (ASCT) remains the only potential curative option for patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF). However, relapse rates and associated mortality remain a concern. A second ASCT may not be feasible due to advancing age, declined functional status, donor unavailability, toxicities associated with a second ASCT. Herein, we report the first case of utilizing initially azacitidine and subsequently oral decitabine + cedazuridine (decitabine), in the context of relapsed PMF post‐ASCT. Utilizing both hypomethylating agents provided disease control and improved donor/myeloid lineage chimerism levels, and the patient also remained transfusion independent, with preserved functional status and quality of life.
