N2 - The optimal myeloablative conditioning (MAC) for patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) is unknown. We studied the outcomes of total body irradiation (TBI) vs chemotherapy (CT) based MAC regimens in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. The study included 1008 patients who underwent first haplo-HCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, following TBI (N = 89, 9%) or CT (n = 919, 91%) based MAC. Patients in the TBI cohort were younger (median age, 38 vs 47 years, P < .01) and more likely to receive BM graft (57% vs 43%, P = .01). Two-year overall chronic GVHD (cGVHD) incidence was 42% vs 27% (P < .01) and extensive cGVHD incidence was 9% vs 12% (P = .33) in TBI and CT cohorts, respectively. Graft failure was reported in two (2%) TBI- and 65 (7%) CT-MAC recipients (P = .08). Death from veno-occlusive disease was reported in one (3%) TBI and 11 (3%) CT patients who died during the study period. In the multivariate analysis, TBI was associated with increased risk for overall cGVHD (hazard ratio = 1.95, 95% confidence interval:1.2-3.1, P < .01) compared to CT-based MAC. The choice of conditioning regimen did not impact relapse incidence, leukemia-free survival, non-relapse mortality, overall survival or GVHD-relapse-free survival in multivariate analysis. In conclusion, major transplant outcomes were not statistically different between TBI-based MAC and CT-based MAC in patients with AML after haplo-HCT/PTCy.
