Popis: Abstract To date, allogenic stem cell transplant (ASCT) remains the only potential curative option for patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF). However, relapse rates and associated mortality remain a concern. A second ASCT may not be feasible due to advancing age, declined functional status, donor unavailability, toxicities associated with a second ASCT. Herein, we report the first case of utilizing initially azacitidine and subsequently oral decitabine + cedazuridine (decitabine), in the context of relapsed PMF post‐ASCT. Utilizing both hypomethylating agents provided disease control and improved donor/myeloid lineage chimerism levels, and the patient also remained transfusion independent, with preserved functional status and quality of life.
