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.

AbstractManagement of Richter transformation (RT) is particularly challenging, with survival estimates <1 year. We report on outcomes of 66 RT patients undergoing allogeneic-HCT (allo-HCT) between 2008 and 2018 registered with the EBMT. Median age at allo-HCT was 56.2 years (interquartile range (IQR), 51.3–63.1). Median time from RT to allo-HCT was 6.9 months (IQR, 4.9–11) and 28 (42.4%) were in complete remission (CR).
