AbstractThe cytogenetic risk category retains a pivotal role in the prediction of prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), however, its impact on secondary AML (sAML) is less established. We assessed whether the ELN 2022 cytogenetic risk score predicts outcomes in sAML patients in remission undergoing HSCT from HLA-matched donors performed between 2010 and 2022.

AbstractAllogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation remains an important curative treatment for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Over time, significant progress in transplant and post-transplant care has allowed the delivery of transplant to older patients. We assessed changes over time in characteristics and outcomes in patients ≥60 years with ALL using a dataset from the EBMT registry.

AbstractWe retrospectively analyzed the impact of conditioning intensity on transplant outcomes according to their cytogenetic/molecular risk in a cohort of 1823 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and intermediate- or adverse-risk cytogenetics in first complete remission (CR1). These patients received their first hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy).

AbstractAutologous hematopoietic cell transplants (auto-HCTs) remain the standard of care for transplant-eligible MM patients. The general practice has been to undergo upfront apheresis following induction to collect sufficient number of CD34+ cells to facilitate two auto-HCTs. However, 5–30% of MM patients do not initially mobilise a sufficient number of hematopoietic stem cells and are classified as poor mobilizers (PM).

AbstractCore-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) represents 12–15% of all AML cases. Although CBF positivity infers a survival advantage, overall survival (OS) remains dismal. Treatment is with cytarabine/anthracycline-based chemotherapy induction followed by high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) consolidation. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is reserved for relapse or for patients having not achieved MRD-negativity at high risk for relapse.
