Abstract

Background

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains a curative option for patients with high-risk myeloid malignancies.

Procedure

We present our 10-year experience (October 2012 to October 2021) of consecutive allo-HCT in patients with myeloid malignancies treated on the pediatric HCT service and conditioned with myeloablative targeted dose—busulfan (BU), fludarabine (FLU), and melphalan (MEL). Twenty-three children, adolescents, and young adult patients (CAYA) (median age 15.4 years) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML, n = 17), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS, n = 4), or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML, n = 2) underwent allo-HCT post-BU-FLU-MEL. Four patients had treatment-related AML/MDS. Donor/stem cell source was matched sibling donor (MSD) PBSC (n = 7), matched unrelated donor (MUD) PBSC (n = 2), umbilical cord blood (UCB) (n = 3), or haploidentical-BMT (n = 11). Risk stratification was low (n = 2), intermediate (n = 15), high (n = 3), and very high risk (n = 1). The two patients with CML had failed tyrosine kinase inhibitor t herapies.

Results

With a median follow-up of 41.6 months, the relapse rate is only 4.5% with an overall survival (OS) 100%, progression-free survival (PFS) 95.5%, and graft-versus-host-free-relapse-free survival (GRFS) 67.8%. The donor source and the acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis regimen significantly impacted grade II–IV aGvHD 66.7% versus 19.2% (p = .039) and chronic graft-versus-host-disease (cGvHD) 66.7% versus 0% (p = .002) in the patients receiving MSD or MUD PBSC compared to haplo-BMT, respectively, resulting in improved GRFS in haplo-BMT, 83.3% compared to 40% matched donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) (p = .025).

Conclusions

Our results demonstrate that BU-FLU-MEL is efficacious conditioning for disease control in young patients with myeloid malignancies undergoing MSD or alternative donor allo-HCT, but in the setting of PBSC grafts with cyclosporine A-methotrexate (CSA-MTX) GvHD prophylaxis, it results in an unacceptably high incidence of GvHD.
