Résumé

HLA-haploidentical haematopoietic cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy-haplo) is emerging as an effective alternative due to donor availability and safety. We conducted a nationwide retrospective study comparing the outcomes of PTCy-haplo with both anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)-free and ATG-administered matched unrelated donors (MUD) transplantation, using peripheral blood stem cells as the first transplantation for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Our study showed a lower and slower haematopoietic recovery and a higher incidence of infection-related deaths after PTCy-haplo than after MUD transplantation. In addition, we revealed an increased risk of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in ATG-free MUD transplantation in comparison to PTCy-haplo. For grades III-IV acute GVHD, the hazard ratio (HR) was 2.71 (95% CI, 1.46-5.01), and for extensive chronic GVHD, the HR was 3.11 (95% CI, 2.07-4.68). There was no significant difference regarding overall survival amongst the groups. In addition, GVHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) was lower in ATG-free MUD transplantation than in PTCy-haplo (HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.17-1.82). Notably, ATG-administered MUD transplantation showed no significant difference in GRFS from PTCy-haplo, negating the advantage of PTCy. Our results suggest that PTCy-haplo could be viable for AML patients without an HLA-matched related donor.
