Reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic transplantation after salvage treatment with DT-PACE in myeloma patients relapsing early after autologous transplant.
European Journal of Haematology 2017 October
OBJECTIVE: In this retrospective single-centre study, we have looked into the transplant outcomes(overall survival OS, progression-free survival PFS, GvHD) and the role of chimerism, DLI and pretransplant characteristics in patients who had a suboptimal response (<12 months) to an autologous stem cell transplant for myeloma and underwent an alemtuzumab T-cell depleted reduced-intensity allograft(RIC).
METHODS: Twenty-four patients were salvaged with two cycles of DT-PACE and received a RIC transplant with fludarabine, melphalan and alemtuzumab. All the patients received PBSC grafts, eight patients had a sibling donor, and 16 had a graft from a fully matched unrelated donor. The median follow-up was 65.3 months (6-132 months).
RESULTS: The median overall survival was 55.4 months. DLI administration was associated with a trend towards better overall survival (P=.05). Disease status at allo-HCT, PR or VGPR, ISS score and CMV serostatus was not significant predictors of OS and PFS. Full donor whole blood chimerism (≥98%) at 3 months post-transplant was associated with PFS (P=.04) but did not have a significant impact on OS(P=.45).
CONCLUSION: Reduced-intensity alemtuzumab-conditioned allograft for myeloma after DT-PACE salvage chemotherapy is an efficient and low toxicity treatment for those who had a suboptimal response postautologous stem cell transplant for myeloma.
