There is a limited body of evidence for haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) in older patients. Previous studies have used a high proportion of bone marrow-derived grafts and a variety of conditioning regimens. In Australia and New Zealand, haplo-HCST is predominantly performed using peripheral blood (PB) with universal use of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy). To characterize the outcomes of older recipients undergoing haplo-HSCT for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Data were collected through the Australasian Bone Marrow Transplant Recipient Registry (ABMTRR) for patients aged 65 or older receiving a PB haplo-HSCT for AML/MDS between January 2010 and July 2020. A total of 44 patients were included in the analysis. The median follow-up time was 377 days. The median age was 68 (range 65-74) with a median Karnofsky performance status of 90. Thirty patients (68.2%) had AML, whereas 14 (31.8%) had MDS. The median donor age was 40. The most common conditioning regimen was nonmyeloablative fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation (75%); the remainder of the patients received either melphalan- or busulfan-based regimens, and the majority were reduced intensity, with only 2 patients undergoing myeloablative conditioning. All patients received post-transplantation cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate mofetil, with the majority also receiving tacrolimus (90.5%) and the remainder receiving cyclosporine (9.5%). No patients received anti-thymocyte globulin. Neutrophil engraftment was achieved in 97.6% of patients at a median of 18 days, whereas platelet engraftment was achieved in 92.7% of patients at a median of 28 days. The cumulative incidences of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation and CMV disease were 52.5% and 5.1% at 1 year. The incidence of grade 2-4 acute Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) was 18.2%. The incidence of chronic GVHD at 2 years was 40.7%, with extensive chronic GVHD occurring in 17.7% of patients. The incidences of relapse and non-relapse mortality (NRM) at 2 years were 8.8% and 20.7% respectively. The leading causes of death were infection (64.7%) followed by relapse (14.2%). The 2-year overall survival was 74%. Relapse free survival and GVHD free, relapse free survival at 2 years was 70% and 48%. Haplo-HSCT using a peripheral blood graft and PTCy GVHD prophylaxis demonstrates long-term disease control with acceptable rates of NRM for older patients with AML/MDS.
