Single cord blood transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia patients aged 60 years or older: a retrospective study in Japan

Masamichi Isobe et al.

Summary: This retrospective study evaluated the outcomes of single-unit cord blood transplantation in elderly acute myeloid leukemia patients. The study found that single CBT offers a curative option for carefully selected AML patients aged over 60, despite certain risk factors being associated with higher overall mortality.

Differential Effect of Graft-versus-Host Disease on Survival in Acute Leukemia according to Donor Type

Takaaki Konuma et al.

Summary: This study explored the impact of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) on transplant outcomes for adults with acute leukemia, revealing a reduction in treatment failure, overall mortality, relapse, and non-relapse mortality in patients receiving from unrelated single-cord blood (UCB). The findings suggest that mild GVHD could improve survival after UCB transplantation for acute leukemia, particularly in subgroups of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and a non-remission status.

Pharmacokinetically guided, once-daily intravenous busulfan in combination with fludarabine for elderly AML/MDS patients as a conditioning regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Chikako Ohwada et al.

Summary: Pharmacokinetically (PK) guided, once-daily administration of busulfan (BU) is effective in reducing relapse in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (AML/MDS), although high AUC1 values may lead to non-relapse mortality (NRM) and high AUC4 values may lower relapse rates.
