Efficacy and Safety of MTBF Conditioning Regimen for Salvageable Allo-HSCT in the Treatment of R/R AML

High-intensity conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) can maximize the clearance of leukemia cells, but is often associated with increased pretreatment-related toxicity and transplant-related mortality. In order to enhance its anti-tumor effect without increasing or even decreasing its tissue toxicity, and then prolong the overall survival of AML patients, we optimized the conditioning regimen before allo-HSCT transplantation: (1) The classical Thiotepa/Busulfan/Fludarabine (TBF) regimen will be adopted to reduce the conditioning associated toxicity, ensure graft implantation to the maximum extent and reduce the recurrence rate; ② At the same time, mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome will be added to avoid the disadvantages of weak immunosuppressive effect and weak anti-leukemia effect, and MTBF pretreatment scheme will be finally explored. It has been applied in the pre-treatment of salvage allo-HSCT in 3 patients with relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia with good safety. Up to the present follow-up time of 4 months, all 3 patients have disease free survival. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this protocol, we intend to include more patients undergoing salvage allo-HSCT for relapsed or refractory (R/R) AML.
