HSCT?

Koreth J, Jama, 2009
Are these data reflecting
present time?
– 1982 to 2006
– Median age: 35-39 years
– HLA –ID siblings
– CYTBI / BUCY
Evidence based medicine
= Not always real life
15. The less intensive, the less
toxic?

16. Dose Intensity and Toxicity
• DI is not the only cause of toxicity
• DI is not always associated with toxicity
• DI may contribute controlling disease
17. 17
• Eligibility
• Poor prognosis AML/MDS
• HLA identical RD or UD
• Primary endpoint : 2 year PFS
• Sample size: 177 patients
• Quality of life study
• Economics
• Non interventional PK
• BX Pharmacogenomics
Dose Intensity study
NCT: 01985061
18. Conclusions
• Toxicity was (is) a major issue
– Low post-transplant toxicity is achievable
• It is critical for some populations: Older/unfit patients
• CDT is an important adjustment variable
– Low toxicity does not mean only reduced intensity
• Disease control is the major issue
– Low toxicity is not NO toxicity
• Still some work to do...
– Intensive CDT with low toxicity is achievable
• Individualized CDT may be critical for better disease control
– Optimized CDT may not be sufficient to cure some
diseases
• Post transplant therapy?
19. Why are individualized trt needed?
Patel JP, NEJM, 2012
• Cytogenetics
• Molecular Biology
• Disease Status
• MRD(?)
• Age
• Comorbidities
Not AML… but AMLs!

Ollie,
So much to do…
Keep going!
