Determinants of Interpatient Variability in Treosulfan Pharmacokinetics in AML Patients Undergoing Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation.

Limited data on treosulfan pharmacokinetics in adults, particularly regarding autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), is available to date. Furthermore, correlations between treosulfan exposure, toxicity, and clinical outcome remain understudied. In this single-center retrospective study, we analyzed data from 55 AML patients who underwent HDCT with treosulfan (14 g/m) and melphalan (140 mg/m or 200 mg/m) (TreoMel) between August 2019 and November 2023 at the University Hospital of Bern.

Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin and Stem Cell Mobilization for Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Favorable Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO), a CD33-targeting antibody drug conjugate, previously showed longer relapse-free survival when combined with induction chemotherapy in patients with favorable-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this patient population, characterized by lower relapse risk as compared to other ELN risk groups, autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) can be used as consolidation strategy. However, there are limited data on the impact of GO on the peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization potential.

Safety and Efficacy of High-Dose Chemotherapy with TreoMel 200 vs. TreoMel 140 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients Undergoing Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation.

(1) Background: Treosulfan and melphalan (TreoMel)-based high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) has shown promising safety and efficacy as a conditioning regimen for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). However, despite intensive first-line induction treatment and upfront consolidation with HDCT and ASCT, AML relapse rates are still high, and further efforts are needed to improve patient outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare two melphalan dose schedules in regard to the safety of TreoMel HDCT and patient outcomes.

Daratumumab during Myeloma Induction Therapy Is Associated with Impaired Stem Cell Mobilization and Prolonged Post-Transplant Hematologic Recovery.

Daratumumab is being increasingly integrated into first-line multiple myeloma (MM) induction regimens, leading to improved response depth and longer progression-free survival. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is commonly performed as a consolidation strategy following first-line induction in fit MM patients. We investigated a cohort of 155 MM patients who received ASCT after first-line induction with or without daratumumab (RVd, = 110; D-RVd, = 45), analyzing differences in stem cell mobilization, apheresis, and engraftment.
