Abstract

We compared transplants (HSCT) from matched related siblings (MSD) with those from matched 10/10 and mismatched 9/10 unrelated (UD) and T-replete haploidentical (Haplo) donors in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1) achieved after two inductions, a known poor prognostic factor. One thousand two hundred and ninety-five patients were included: MSD (n = 428), UD 10/10 (n = 554), UD 9/10 (n = 135), and Haplo (n = 178). Acute GVHD II–IV was higher in all groups compared to MSD. Extensive chronic (c) GVHD was significantly higher in UD 9/10 (HR = 2.52; 95% CI 1.55–4.11, p = 0.0002) and UD 10/10 (HR = 1.48; 95% CI 1.03–2.13, p = 0.036) and cGVHD all grades were higher in UD 9/10 vs MSD (HR = 1.77; 95% CI 1.26–2.49, p = 0.0009). Non-relapse mortality was higher in all groups compared to MSD. Relapse incidence, leukemia-free, and overall survival did not differ significantly between donor types. Finally, GVHD-free relapse-free survival was lower in HSCT from UD 9/10 (HR = 1.56, 95% CI 1.20–2.03, p = 0.0009) but not in those from UD 10/10 (HR = 1.13, p = 0.22) and Haplo donors (HR = 1.12, p = 0.43) compared to MSD. In conclusion, in AML patients undergoing HSCT in CR1 achieved after two induction courses 10/10 UD and Haplo but not 9/10 UD donors are comparable alternatives to MSD.
