Abstract Abstract 158 Introduction: Monosomal karyotype (MK) has been shown to be associated with a very poor prognosis in AML patients (Breems, 2008). Whether allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) performed in an early phase can overcome the adverse prognosis in this cytogenetic patient category is currently unknown. To address this issue we performed a retrospective analysis on data from the registry of the EBMT among patients with primary AML who underwent alloHSCT in CR1. Patients and methods: A total of 4119 patients with primary AML and known cytogenetic abnormalities at diagnosis that underwent alloHSCT in CR1 were included in the analysis. Survival curves were calculated with Kaplan-Meier method. Log rank test and Cox regression analysis were used to determine statistical significance. Results: Median follow-up was 24 months (range 2–374). Overall, 171 patients (4.2%) fulfilled criteria for MK and 297 patients (7.2%) for complex karyotype (CK), with 115 patients fulfilling both conditions (MK and CK). Both the presence of a MK (2-yr OS: 35.5% versus 63.2%, p<0.0001) and CK (2-yr OS: 48.8% versus 61.9%, p<0.0001) were associated with a poorer outcome when compared with the remaining cytogenetics subtypes. Given the significant overlap between both categories, we further analyzed their prognostic impact after defining four subgroups of patients: MK but not CK (56 patients; MK+CK-), no MK but CK (180 patients; MK-CK+), MK and CK (115 patients; MK+CK+), and patients without either MK or CK (MK-CK-). Outcome of the MK-CK- subgroup did not differ according to cytogenetics. Patients harboring a MK, regardless concomitant presence of a CK, presented with a poorer OS after alloHSCT (2-yr OS: 31.7–43.0% versus 61.1%, p<0.0001). On the contrary patients with a CK but not MK showed a similar outcome than MK-CK- (2-yr OS: 61.1% versus 63.3%, p=0.170). Moreover, multivariate analysis confirmed the independent negative impact of MK (HR:1.90, range 1.5–2.4; p<0.0001) together with age, interval diagnosis-transplant, AML subtype, WBC at diagnosis, T-cell depletion, number of induction cycles and use of TBI during conditioning, whereas the presence of a CK did not retain its negative prognostic value. Conclusion: These results indicate that MK is a better indicator for poor outcome than CK after alloHSCT in patients with primary AML in CR1. Nonetheless, the potential curative role of alloHSCT for a subset of patients with MK should be further investigated.

Abstract Abstract 4161 Purpose: The role of HLA-haploidentical related donors (HRD) hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) in first complete remission (CR1) for adults with intermediate and poor risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is still not clear. Patients and Methods: Totally 428 newly diagnosed AML patients between 15 and 60 years old were studied between Jan 2006 and May 2010. Among 240 patients with intermediate and poor risk cytogenetics, 191patients achieved CR1 and received chemotherapy alone or HSCT as post-remission treatment. Of these, 141 patients received chemotherapy alone (n=78) or HRD HSCT (n=63) were analyzed. Results: Up to last follow-up time of May 2011, 44 out of 141 patients died (36 died of relapse and 8 died of TRM) and 97 patients are still alive. 49 out of 141 patients experienced relapse and 84 patients are still in continuous CR1. The cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) at 4 years was 37.4%±4.4%. Overall survival(OS) and disease-free survival(DFS) at 4 year was 63.8%±5.0% and 55.5%±4.9%, respectively. The CIR of HRD HSCT group was significantly lower than chemotherapy group(12.8%±6.1% vs.57.4%±5.6%, p<0.0001). HRD HSCT improved survival achieved by chemotherapy alone significantly (DFS at 4 years, 71.8%±6.9% v 42.6%±6.1%, p<0.0001;OS at 4 years,75.7% ±7.0% v 54.6%±6.1%, p=0.0014). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed post-remission treatment choice (HRD HSCT or chemotherapy) and high WBC at diagnosis were independent risk factor affecting relapse, DFS and OS. Conclusion: HRD HSCT in CR1 is superior to chemotherapy alone for adults with intermediate and poor risk AML patients. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
