Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) is currently the only curative treatment option for patients with myelofibrosis (MF). In the absence of a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donor, cord blood transplant (CBT) or HLA-haploidentical transplant (haplo-HSCT) provide other options for these patients – although the best of these options remains unclear.1
Here, we summarize a retrospective study by Sakatoku et al.1 published in Nature on February 20, 2024, comparing CBT and haplo-HSCT as alternative transplant options for MF.
Figure 1. Neutrophil engraftment and survival responses in patients with MF who received haplo-HSCT compared with CBT*
CBT, cord blood transplant; CI, cumulative incidence, GvHD, graft-versus-host disease; HSCT, hematopoietic stem cell transplant; MF, myelofibrosis; NRM, non-relapse mortality; OS; overall survival.
*Adapted from Sakatoku K, et al.1.
†Defined as the patient being alive at 28 days with an absolute neutrophil count <0.5 × 109/L.
‡After 3 years.
