Intensified conditioning containing decitabine versus standard myeloablative conditioning for adult patients with KMT2A-rearranged leukemia: a multicenter retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is recommended for patients with KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) leukemia whereas relapse remains high. We aimed to determine whether intensified conditioning containing decitabine (Dec) could reduce relapse compared with standard myeloablative conditioning in adult patients with KMT2A-r leukemia.

Methods

We performed a multicenter retrospective study at seven institutions in China. Eligible patients were aged 14 years or older at transplantation, had a diagnosis of KMT2A-r leukemia, and underwent the first allo-HSCT. Standard myeloablative conditioning regimens (standard group) included BuCy (busulfan 3.2 mg/kg/day on days -7 to -4; cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg/day on days -3 to -2) and TBI-Cy (total body irr
