Background: Although allogeneic transplantation(alloHCT) is the only curative treatment modality for MF, given the median age of MF, most patients are not candidates for alloHCT due to concerns for treatment-related mortality(TRM), age and comorbidities. Methods: We reviewed the outcomes of 24 recipients of matched related/unrelated donor alloHCT for MF at the Medical College of Wisconsin. All patients with JAK2 mutation(62%) and/or constitutional symptoms recieved Roxulitinib atleast 4 months prior to alloHCT with discontinuation of Ruxolitinib 48 hrs prior to the start of conditioning. Majority(91%) received conditioning with Fludarabine and Busulfan(Flu/Bu4, Flu/Bu3,Flu/Bu4). Only 2 patients received TBI based regimen; Flu/TBI(2-4Gy). Those with splenomegaly > 22cm received pre-transplant splenic radiation(n = 11;49%). Survival outcomes were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared between groups using log-rank test. Results: Median age was 57 years(range,40-67) with 29% > 60 years. A 46% had primary ET or PV that evolved to MF and 17% had MDS cytogenetics. Majority(74%) patients MF-3 grade. More than 80% recieved Ruxolitinib and 25% were treated with hypomethylating/cytotoxic chemotherapy. HCT-CI score was≥3 in 62%. Four patients had cirrhosis and portal hypertension(PHTN), and another 3 had PHTN without Cirrhosis.At median follow up of 36months, 3-year overall survival(OS) and relapse-free survival were(RFS) 70%. Marrow fibrosis improved post HCT with only 15% grade 3. One patient relapsed and died from AML 15 months post-HCT. TRM was 25% at 3 years; causes of death were sepsis(n = 3), alveolar hemorrhage(n = 1) and myocardial infarction(n = 1). Variables such as type of donor, DIPSS scoring, MF grade and age of the patient were not significantly associated with OS/RFS on univariate analysis. Conclusions: Despite advanced age and 62% with HCT CI≥3, we report excellent survival outcomes compared to other prior data. Careful patient selection, use of Ruxolitinib pre-HCT, splenic irradiation pre-HCT and Flu/Bu based conditioning regimen all contributed to the remarkable results in this series.
