We investigated the effect of center-specific variables on overall survival (OS) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Eligible were adult patients reported to DRST registry receiving first alloHCT for AML from a related or matched (>= 9/10 HLA-match) unrelated donor 2015-2021. Primary endpoint was OS at 12 months from alloHCT.

Autologous 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).

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the best curative treatment modality for many malignant hematologic disorders. In the absence of a matched related donor, matched unrelated donors (MUDs) and haploidentical donors are the most important stem cell sources. In this registry-based retrospective study, we compared the outcomes of allo-HSCTs from 10/10 MUDs with antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based regimens (n = 7050) vs haploidentical transplants (Haplo-Tx) using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PT-CY Haplo; n = 487) in adult patients with hematologic malignancies between 2010 and 2020.

Article Synopsis
  • MICA polymorphisms are linked to higher rates of acute GvHD and poor outcomes in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with MICB's role still being unclear.
  • Researchers analyzed a large cohort for MICB polymorphisms, assessing how MICB matching affects outcomes after unrelated HSCT, finding that 69.2% were 10/10 HLA matched.
  • In the 9/10 HLA matched group, MICB mismatches led to worse disease-free survival and relapse-free survival, while MICA mismatches did not significantly impact outcomes, suggesting MICB typing might aid in donor selection among 9/10 matched donors.

Article Synopsis
  • Approximately 50% of older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) do not achieve complete remission after traditional chemotherapy, and alternatives like higher doses of cytarabine combined with mitoxantrone have low success rates, especially for those with the unfavorable FLT3-ITD marker.* -
  • This study investigates the efficacy of quizartinib, a selective FLT3 inhibitor, combined with a chemotherapy regimen (HAM) in a randomized phase II trial, assessing outcomes such as complete remission rate compared to historical controls.* -
  • The trial employs a novel matched threshold crossing approach to bolster the reliability of results by comparing the current treatment outcomes with data from previous similar studies, aiming to improve the understanding of
