Participant Flow

We analyzed the clinical outcome of patients with hematological malignancies at standard or high-risk, who were transplanted (allogeneic peripheral blood or BMT HSCT) after receiving FluBU as a conditioning regimen. A total of 30 patients were recruited for this study which was conducted at the UIC Medical Center Inpatient BMT unit.

Criteria for FluBu conditioning: \<60 years old; no diagnosis of myeloma or myelofibrosis (MF) in chronic phase; and not having received an autologous stem cell transplant with the last 2 years. Patients not fulfilling these criteria but still eligible for allogeneic transplantation were prepared with FluMel.

Measure
Fludarabine/Busulfan + ATG
All patients below age 55 should receive fludarabine/busulfan and ATG in case of unrelated or mismatched donor. fludarabine/busulfan: All patients below age 55, should receive fludarabine/busulfan, and ATG in case of unrelated or mismatched donor, unless there is significant pulmonary, hepatic or cardiac damage: (E.g FEV1 \<40%, DLCO\<50%, LVEF\<40, Serum bilirubin \>1.5 mg% or serum transaminases \> 2x nl) and/or specific medical conditions such as preventing a standard myeloablative treatment, as per discussion with the PI.
Fludarabine/Melphalan + ATG
All patients above age 55 or below age 65 should receive fludarabine/ melphalan and ATG. fludarabine/ melphalan: All patients above age 55 or below age 65, should receive fludarabine/melphalan, and ATG, unless there is significant pulmonary, hepatic or cardiac damage: (E.g FEV1 \<40%, DLCO\<50%, LVEF\<40, Serum bilirubin \>1.5 mg% or serum transaminases \> 2x nl).
