Abstract

We compared the outcomes of haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in 719 patients with primary refractory (PR) or first relapse (Rel) secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML; n = 129) vs those with de novo AML (n = 590), who received HSCT between 2010 and 2022. A higher percentage of patients with sAML vs de novo AML had PR disease (73.6% vs 58.6%; P = .002). In 81.4% of patients with sAML, the antecedent hematological disorder was myelodysplastic syndrome. Engraftment was 83.5% vs 88.4% in sAML and de novo AML, respectively (P = .13). In multivariate analysis, haplo-HSCT outcomes did not differ significantly between the groups: nonrelapse mortality hazard ratio (HR), 1.38 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.96-1.98; P = .083), relapse incidence HR, 0.68 (95% CI, 0.4.7.-1.00; P = .051). The HRs for leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)–free, and GVHD and relapse–free survival were 0.99 (95% CI, 0.76-1.28; P = .94), 0.99 (95% CI, 0.77-1.29; P = .97), and 0.99 (95% CI, 0.77-1.27; P = .94), respectively. We conclude that outcomes of haplo-HSCT with PTCy are not different for PR/Rel sAML in comparison with PR/Rel de novo AML, a finding of major clinical importance.
