Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) disproportionately affect older patients who uncommonly receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We analyzed CIBMTR data on 1248 patients ≥40 years receiving reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) or non-myeloablative (NMA) HCT for aggressive (n=668) and indolent (n=580) NHL. Aggressive lymphoma was more frequent in the oldest cohort [(age 40–54) 49% vs. (55–64) 57% vs. (≥65) 67% p=0.0008]; fewer patients ≥65 had prior autografting [26% vs. 24% vs. 9%; p=0.002)]. Rates of relapse, acute and chronic GVHD and non-relapse mortality (NRM) at one year were similar [22%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 19–26%; 27%, 95% CI 23–31%; 34%, 95% CI 24–44%]. Progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) survival at 3 years was slightly lower in older cohorts [OS:54%, 95% CI 50–58%; 40%, 95% CI 36–44%; 39%, 95% CI 28–50%; p<0.0001]. Multivariate analysis revealed no significant effect of age on acute or chronic GVHD or relapse. Age ≥55 years, Karnofsky performance status <80, and HLA-mismatch adversely impacted NRM, PFS, and OS. Disease status at HCT, but not histologic subtype, worsened NRM, relapse, PFS and OS. Even for patients ≥55 years, OS still approached 40% at 3 years suggesting HCT effects long-term remissions and remains underutilized in qualified older patients with NHL.
