The presence of internal tandem duplication mutations in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 receptor (FLT3-ITD) is a poor prognostic predictor in paediatric patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We evaluated the treatment outcomes and prognostic factors of 45 paediatric patients with FLT3-ITD AML who achieved complete remission before haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) at our institution from 2012 to 2021. Among the 45 patients, the overall survival (OS), event‑free survival (EFS), and cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) rates were 74.9% ± 6.6%, 64.1% ± 7.2%, and 31.4% ± 7.1%, respectively, with 48.8 months of median follow-up. Univariate and multivariate analyses associated positive minimal residual disease (MRD) at pre-HSCT and non-remission (NR) after introduce 1 with inferior long-term survival. The 100-day cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) was 35.6% ± 5.2%, and that of grade III-IV aGVHD was 15.6% ± 3.0% The overall 4-year cumulative incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease after transplantation was 35.7% ± 9.8%, respectively. In conclusion, haplo-HSCT may be a feasible strategy for paediatric patients with FLT3-ITD AML, and pre-HSCT MRD status and NR after introduce 1 significantly affected the outcomes.
