ABSTRACT
We analysed the outcome of 92 consecutive unrelated donor haematopoietic cell transplantations (UD-HCTs) performed in Spain to treat adult patients with CML in the first chronic phase (1CP). Patients' and donors' median age was 32 (15-49) and 36 (22-56) years, respectively. In all, 73 pairs (79%) matched for A, B+/-C and DRB1+/-DQB1 loci and 19 had > or =1 mismatch. Their probability of survival and disease-free survival at 4 years were 50 and 46%, respectively. Pretransplant factors associated with a better survival were patient age <25 years (P=0.035), donor age < or =36 years (P=0.012), use of cyclosporine since day -7 (P=0.001), and matching 8/8, 9/10 or 10/10 loci at allele level (P=0.003). In multivariate analysis only donor age (P=0.003; RR=3.1 (95% CI 1.3-7.1)) and degree of HLA-matching (P=0.009; RR 7.7 (95% CI 1.8-33)) maintained their significance. The addition of these two variables to the EBMT prognostic score allowed an adequate risk assessment for patients receiving a UD-HCT during 1CP. Our analysis shows that in patients with a young and fully allele-matched donor, UD-HCT should be considered in the initial therapeutic algorithm due to its excellent outcome (92% survival at 2 years).
