To identify the benefit of decitabine (Dec)-intensified myeloablative conditioning on the outcomes of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after related donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), we performed a retrospective matched-pair study from a pool of 156 patients to evaluate Dec [20 mg/m/day intravenously (i.v.) on days -11 to -7]-intensified modified busulfan/cyclophosphamide (mBuCy) conditioning regimen vs. mBuCy regimen in 92 AML patients, with 46 patients in each cohort. The cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) was lower in the Dec group (15.2% ± 0.3% vs. 32.6% ± 0.5%, = 0.033). Compared with mBuCy group (15.5% ± 0.3%), a significantly higher proportion of limited chronic GVHD (cGVHD) in Dec group (35% ± 0.6%) was observed ( = 0.025). Dec-intensified mBuCy conditioning was associated with better 2-year overall survival (OS) and GVHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) (81% ± 6.2% vs. 59.4% ± 7.5%, = 0.03; 58.7% ± 8.1% vs. 40.9% ± 7.3%, = 0.042; respectively). Our results also elucidated that the Dec group had better 2-year OS and lower 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) in patients acquiring haploidentical HSCT than that of the mBuCy group (84.8% ± 7.1% vs. 58.2% ± 10.3%, = 0.047; 17.9% ± 0.8% vs. 40.0% ± 1.0%, = 0.036; respectively), which did not increase the treatment-related mortality and regimen-associated toxicities. Dec-intensified myeloablative regimen and high-risk stratification were the variables associated with OS, leukemia-free survival (LFS), and GRFS in multivariate analysis. In high-risk patients, no differences were found in CIR, OS, LFS, and GRFS between the two groups. These data indicated that Dec-intensified mBuCy conditioning regimen was associated with better survival than mBuCy regimen in AML patients, especially in patients undergoing haploidentical HSCT.
为确定地西他滨(Dec)强化清髓性预处理对急性髓系白血病(AML)患者在接受相关供者造血干细胞移植(HSCT)后的疗效,我们进行了一项回顾性配对研究,从156例患者中选取92例AML患者,评估Dec [在-11至-7天静脉注射(i.v.)20mg/m²/天]强化的改良白消安/环磷酰胺(mBuCy)预处理方案与mBuCy方案的疗效,每组46例患者。Dec组II-IV级急性移植物抗宿主病(aGVHD)的累积发生率较低(15.2%±0.3% vs. 32.6%±0.5%,P = 0.033)。与mBuCy组(15.5%±0.3%)相比,Dec组有限慢性移植物抗宿主病(cGVHD)的比例显著更高(35%±0.6%)(P = 0.025)。Dec强化的mBuCy预处理与更好的2年总生存率(OS)和无移植物抗宿主病无复发生存率(GRFS)相关(81%±6.2% vs.59.4%±7.5%,P = 0.03;58.7%±8.1% vs. 40.9%±7.3%,P = 0.042)。我们的结果还表明,在接受单倍体HSCT的患者中,Dec组的2年OS更好,2年累积复发率(CIR)更低,高于mBuCy组(84.8%±7.1% vs. 58.2%±10.3%,P = 0.047;17.9%±0.8% vs. 40.0%±1.0%,P = 0.036),且未增加治疗相关死亡率和方案相关毒性。在多因素分析中,Dec强化的清髓性方案和高危分层是与OS、无白血病生存率(LFS)和GRFS相关的变量。在高危患者中,两组在CIR、OS、LFS和GRFS方面未发现差异。这些数据表明,Dec强化的mBuCy预处理方案与mBuCy方案相比,在AML患者中具有更好的生存率,尤其是在接受单倍体HSCT的患者中。
