Alemtuzumab based reduced intensity conditioning allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for myelofibrosis

We report the results of 11 patients myelofibrosis, who have received a uniform alemtuzumab-based RIC HSCT. The median recipient age was 51 years. Stem cells were obtained from 8 full HLA-matched and 3 HLA-mismatched donors. The 2-year OS and TRM at 2-years was 46% and 54% with no disease relapse observed. For patients with a full HLA-matched donor, the 2-year TRM and OS was 37.5% and 62.5%. All 4 JAK2 V617F mutant positive patients achieved molecular remission after a median of 90 days post-transplant, and the median time to regression of bone marrow fibrosis was 180 days.
