  1. Reduced-toxicity conditioning with Busulfan and Fludarabine and allogeneic stem cell transplant: chimerism evaluation and global outcome of 26 consecutive patients Alessandra Algarotti Ematologia, Ospedali Riuniti, Bergamo Senigallia, 24 Ottobre 2008

  2. Reduced intensity or reduced toxicity conditioning regimens? • RIC regimens have been used to offer an allogeneic transplant to otherwise inelegible patients • RIC regimens are often associated with an increased proportion of disease relapse • We investigated a reduced toxicity conditioning regimen with Busulfan and Fludarabine and we evaluated the outcome and the toxicity

  3. Comparative outcome of nonmyeloablative and myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for patients older than 50 years of age • Alyea EA: et al.: Blood, 2005, Vol. 105, 1810-1814 Conditioning regimens “Nonmyeloablative” Fludarabine (30 mg/m2/d for 4 days) Busulfan (0.8 mg/kg/d iv for 4 days) on days -6, -5, -4, and -3. Myeloablative Cyclophosphamide (1800 mg/m2 for 2 days) andfTBI; 1400 cGy in 7 fractionsover 4 days) Busulfan (16 mg/kg po dividedover 4 days) and Cyclophosphamide a

  4. Once Daily i.v. Busulfan and Fludarabine (i.v. Bu-Flu) Compares Favorably with i.v. Busulfan and Cyclophosphamide (i.v. BuCy2) as Pretransplant Conditioning Therapy in AML/MDS Overall survival Event Free Survival Andersson BS et al.: Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation 14:672-684 (2008)

  13. Overall and Event Free Survival OS = 60% EFS = 55%

  14. TRM and Risk to Relapse RRD = 40% TRM = 4% Competing risk analysis

  15. Conclusion • In our hands the FLU-Bu regimen confirms its remarkable tolerability and a significant antineoplastic activity • Despite a low Fludarabine dosage, the chimerism full donor was obtained in most patients at 100 days after transplant • Randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm these preliminary results
