Prognostic factors in allogeneic transplantation for patients with high-risk multiple myeloma after reduced intensity conditioning

Objectives. The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors for outcome of high-risk patients with multiple myeloma after allogeneic transplantation prepared by reduced intensity conditioning (RIC). Materials and Methods. Data from 45 consecutive patients (median age 52 years, range 38-68), who received grafts from a sibling (n = 34) or unrelated donor (n = 11) were analyzed. Fourteen patients received an RIC allotransplant while chemosensitive (greater than or equal topartial remission [PR]), whereas 31 chemoresistant patients (
