This retrospective study evaluated 35 children (median age 5.2 years; range 0.4-18) with myelofibrosis (MF), including 33 with primary myelofibrosis and 2 with secondary myelofibrosis transplanted from matched sibling donor (MSD) (n = 17) or non-MSD (n = 18) between 2000 and 2022. Conditioning was usually chemotherapy-based (n = 33) and myeloablative (n = 32). Fifteen patients received bone marrow (BM), 14 haematopoietic cells (HC) from peripheral blood (PB), and 6 from cord blood (CB). Day +100 acute GvHD II-IV incidence was significantly lower after MSD-haematopoietic cell transplantation (MSD-HCT) than after non-MSD-HCT [18.8% (4.3-41.1) vs 58.8% (31-78.6); p = 0.01]. Six-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 18% (7.1-32.8), relapse incidence was 15.9% (5.6-30.9), progression-free survival (PFS) was 66.1% (47-79.7), GvHD-free relapse-free survival was 50% (30.6-66.7), and overall survival (OS) was 71.1% (51.4-84). Six-year PFS and OS were significantly higher after BM transplantation compared to HCT from other sources [85.1% (52.3-96.1) vs 50.8% (26.3-71), p = 0.03, and 90.9% (50.8-98.7) vs 54% (28.1-74.2), p = 0.01, respectively], whereas NRM was significantly lower [0% vs 32% (12.3-53.9); p = 0.02]. This first multicentre study on outcomes of allogeneic HCT in children with myelofibrosis proves feasibility and curative effect of transplantation in these children, suggests that bone marrow transplantation is associated with better outcomes, and indicates the need for further studies.
