PG - 1038-40 LID - 10.1111/imj.12551 [doi] AB - Elderly patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) have a poor prognosis with standard chemotherapy. Two elderly AML patients treated with infusion of family-derived partially human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched peripheral blood stem cells following each cycle of chemotherapy entered morphological complete remission without graft versus host disease or major toxicity. Our results support this as a non-toxic approach for inducing a graft versus leukaemia effect in patients not suitable for allogeneic transplantation. Additional resources required for donor assessment and harvest may be reduced by using banked partially HLA-matched mononuclear cells from unrelated donors.
