Background. Median age of occurrence of acute myeloid leukemias (AML) and myelodisplastc syndromes (MDS) is 65 years and older. Nevertheless, the use of allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT) has been historically limited to younger population, namely due to excess in non-relapse-mortality (NRM) in olders. Methods. In the present study, we analyzed all consecutive patients aged ≥ 65y diagnosed with AML (71, 81%) or MDS (19, 19%) who received transplants from adult donors at our center from January 2005 to December 2019. Results. Median age was 68.29y (65.02-76.54), 26pts (29%) aged ≥ 70y. Thirty-three (37%) pts received a HLA-matched donor. Conditioning regimen was myeloablative in 46pts (51%). The 3-year overall survival (OS) was 53+/-6%, and disease free survival (DFS) 45+/-6% (Figure 1). Day-100 and 3-year NRM was 17+/-2% and 29+/-2%, respectively. The 3-year CI of relapse was 22+/-2%. Day-100 CI of aGvHD was 21+/-2% for grade II-IV, 14+/-1% for grade III-IV. The 3-year CI of cGvHD was 35+/-3%, extensive 20+/-2%. In multivariate analysis, the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) < 90% was associated with lower OS (HR: 2.999, CI: 1.477- 6.691; p=0.002), DFS (HR: 3.155, CI: 1.593 - 6.250; p=0.001) and higher NRM (HR: 2.997, CI: 1.344-6.682; p=0.041). HCT-CI ≥ 3 was also associated with higher NRM (HR: 2.949, CI: 1.166-7.462, p=0.022,). Diagnosis of MDS and receiving a matched donor with PTCy were associated with longer OS (HR: 0.3440, CI: 0.1029-0.915; p=0.033; HR: 0.197, CI: 0.042-0.934; p=0.041).Conclusions. Age alone should not limit transplant eligibility for AML and MDS. KPS and HCT-CI proved to be useful for patient selection among the elderly. The use of HLA-matched donors with PTCy improved OS compared to ATG in our consecutive series.
