Comparison of FLAMSA-based reduced intensity conditioning with treosulfan/fludarabine conditioning for patients with acute myeloid leukemia: an ALWP/EBMT analysis.

FLAMSA followed by sequential reduced intensity conditioning and treosulfan/fludarabine are frequently used conditioning approaches used in centers of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is currently unknown whether any of these regimens is superior to the others in terms of disease control and toxicity. Using the Acute Leukemia Working Party/EBMT multicenter registry we compared the outcomes of AML patients 45-65 of age transplanted between the years 2007 and 2016.

Upfront allogeneic stem cell transplantation after reduced-intensity/nonmyeloablative conditioning for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome: a study by the Société Française de Greffe de Moelle et de Thérapie Cellulaire.

Cytoreduction before allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes remains a debatable issue. After excluding patients who had received preconditioning induction chemotherapy, we analyzed 128 consecutive patients with myelodysplastic syndrome who received reduced-intensity or nonmyeloablative conditioning (RIC/NMA) allo-SCT. Among them, 40 received azacitidine (AZA) before transplant (AZA group) and 88 were transplanted up front (best supportive care [BSC] group).
