LID - 10.3390/ijms25020957 [doi] LID - 957 AB - Acute myeloid leukemia patients with induction failure or relapsed refractory disease have minimal chance of achieving remission with subsequent treatments. Several trials have shown the feasibility of clofarabine-based conditioning in allogeneic stem cell transplants (allo-HSCT) for non-remission AML patients. Pre-transplant conditioning with clofarabine followed by reduced-intensity allo-HSCT has also demonstrated a potential benefit in those patients with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical donors, but it is not commonly used in haploidentical and mismatched transplants. In this case report, we describe our experience of seven cases of non-remission AML who received clofarabine preconditioning followed by an allo-HSCT with PTCy. The 2-year overall survival and disease-free survival was 83.3% (95% confidence interval (CI): 27.3-97.9%) and 85.7% (95% CI: 33.4-97.9%). Median days of neutrophil and platelet recovery were 16 (range of 13-23) and 28 (range of 17-75), respectively. The cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) at day 100 and chronic GVHD at 1-year showed 28.6% (95% CI: 8-74.2%) and 28.6% (95% CI: 3-63.9%), respectively. The two-year relapse rate was 14.3% (95% CI: 2.14-66.6%). One-year GVHD-free relapse-free survival (GFRS) at 1-year was 71.4% (95% CI: 25.8-92%). Our patients showed successful outcomes with clofarabine preconditioning to reduce the leukemic burden at the pre-transplant period followed by PTCy to reduce GVHD resulting in lower relapsed rate and better GFRS in these patients.
