We assessed outcomes of allogeneic transplantation (HSCT) in favorable risk AML in CR1 over 3 time periods. 1850 patients were included, 2005 to 2009- 222, 2010 to 2014 -392, and 2015 to 2021-1236; 526 with t (8:21), 625 with inv (16), and 699 with NPM1mutFLT3WT. Patients transplanted in 2015-2021 were older (p < 0.0001) with more patients ≥60 years of age (p < 0.0001). The most frequent diagnosis in 2015-2021 was NPM1mutFLT3WT vs. t (8:21) in the 2 earlier periods, (p < 0001). Haploidentical transplants (Haplo) increased from 5.9% to 14.5% (p < 0.0001). Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) was more frequent in 2015-2021 vs. the other 2 periods (p < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, incidence of total chronic GVHD was reduced in HSCTs performed ≥2015 vs. those performed in 2005-2009, hazard ratio (HR) = 0.74 (95% CI 0.56-0.99, p = 0.046) and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) improved for patients transplanted from 2010-2014 vs. those transplanted in 2005-2009, HR = 0.74 (95% CI 0.56-0.98, p = 0.037). Other HSCT outcomes did not differ with no improvement ≥2015. LFS, OS, and GRFS were inferior in patients with t (8:21) with HR = 1.32 (95% CI 1.03-1.68, p = 0.026), HR = 1.38 (95% CI 1.04-1.83, p = 0.027) and HR = 01.25 (95% CI 1.02-1.53, p = 0.035), respectively. In conclusion, this retrospective analysis of HSCT in patients with favorable risk AML, transplanted over 16 years showed an increased number of transplants in patients ≥60 years, from Haplo donors with PTCy. Most importantly, 3-year GRFS improved ≥2010 and total chronic GVHD reduced ≥2015, with no significant change in other HSCT outcomes.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant remains the only curative treatment for myelofibrosis. Most post-transplantation events occur during the first two years and hence we aimed to analyze the outcome of 2-year disease-free survivors. A total of 1055 patients with myelofibrosis transplanted between 1995 and 2014 and registered in the registry of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation were included. Survival was compared to the matched general population to determine excess mortality and the risk factors that are associated. In the 2-year survivors, disease-free survival was 64% (60-68%) and overall survival was 74% (71-78%) at ten years; results were better in younger individuals and in women. Excess mortality was 14% (8-21%) in patients aged <45 years and 33% (13-53%) in patients aged ≥65 years. The main cause of death was relapse of the primary disease. Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) before two years decreased the risk of relapse. Multivariable analysis of excess mortality showed that age, male sex recipient, secondary myelofibrosis and no GvHD disease prior to the 2-year landmark increased the risk of excess mortality. This is the largest study to date analyzing long-term outcome in patients with myelofibrosis undergoing transplant. Overall it shows a good survival in patients alive and in remission at two years. However, the occurrence of late complications, including late relapses, infectious complications and secondary malignancies, highlights the importance of screening and monitoring of long-term survivors.
