Abstrakt: Background: Primary refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with dismal prognosis. No standard treatment options are available, and it remains an unmet clinical need. Here, we report a case of a tandem allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) performed in a patient who did not achieve remission after 2 courses of induction chemotherapy.
Methods Case Report: The treatment was approved by the Bioethical Commission of the Medical University of Warsaw and was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The patient gave informed consent.
Results: A 41-year-old woman was diagnosed with AML, high cytogenetic risk, with concomitant skin and central nervous system involvement, bone marrow necrosis, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. She received "3+7" induction and HAM (cytarabine, mitoxantrone) reinduction, after which she did not achieve remission and hematopoietic recovery. Tandem allo-HSCT was performed from the same HLA-identical brother---the first after reduced intensity conditioning (cladribine, cytarabine, mitoxantrone, melphalan) and the second after myeloablative conditioning (BuCy--busulphan, cyclophosphamide). The patient obtained complete remission after the first allo-HSCT and remains disease-free after the second for 5 years CONCLUSION: Tandem allo-HSCT may be a treatment option for primary refractory AML.
