Agnogenic myeloid metaplasia (AMM) is a chronic
myeloproliferative disorder in which patients with poor prognostic
features, receiving conventional treatments, have a median survival of
less than 3 years. In this retrospective multicenter study, we analyze the results and try to define the indications for allogeneic stem cell
transplantation in AMM. From January 1979 to November 1997, 55 patients
with a median age of 42 years were transplanted from HLA-matched
related (n = 49) or alternative (n = 6) donors for AMM. A
multivariate analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with
posttransplant outcome. The median posttransplant follow-up was 36 months (range, 6 to 223). The 5-year probability of survival was 47% ± 8% for the overall group, and 54% ± 8% for patients
receiving an unmanipulated HLA-matched related transplant. The 1-year
probability of transplant-related mortality was 27% ± 6%.
Hemoglobin level 100 g/L and osteomyelosclerosis before transplant
adversely affected the outcome. The probability of developing grade
III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was 33% ± 8%. Sixteen of 45 patients developed extensive chronic GVHD. At last
follow-up, 22 patients were in complete histohematologic remission.
Treatment failure was observed in 13 cases. Age at transplant and
karyotype were predictors of treatment failure. Allogeneic stem cell
transplantation is an effective treatment leading to cure in a
substantial number of patients with AMM. A better characterization of
the variables affecting the posttransplant outcome should lead to a
decreased transplant-related mortality and an improvement in these results.
