Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HCT) remains the only curative treatment for myelofibrosis (MF). Transplantation in patients with MF is mostly done using a reduced intensity conditioning regimen with calcineurin inhibitors for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Here we sought to evaluate outcomes of patients who underwent an ex vivo CD34+ -selected allo-HCT using myeloablative conditioning (MAC). Twenty-seven patients were included in this retrospective analysis. All patients were conditioned with busulfan, melphalan and fludarabine and antithymocyte globulin to prevent graft rejection. G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood stem cell grafts were depleted of T-cells using immunomagnetic CD34+ selection by CliniMACS device. Median follow-up among survivors was 50.6 months. The estimated 3-year overall survival, relapse free survival and the combined endpoint of GVHD/relapse free survival were 88% (95% CI, 75-100%), 80% (95% CI, 66-98%) and 74% (95% CI, 59-93%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD at day 100 was 33.3% (95% CI 16.4-51.3%), and two patients suffered chronic GVHD. There were no cases of primary graft failure. However, delayed graft failure occurred in two patients. We conclude that CD34+ selected allo-HCT with a MAC resulted in high survival rates in this cohort of patients with MF.Entities:
