Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation from haploidentical donors with total body irradiation versus chemo-based regimens for adult AML patients in first complete remission. A study from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT).

Large registry data clarifies trade-offs between two conditioning approaches for blood cell transplants in leukemia, helping doctors choose the right strategy for each patient.

This large EBMT multicenter registry analysis compared TBI-based versus chemotherapy-based conditioning in adult AML CR1 patients receiving haploidentical donor transplantation, addressing a critical clinical decision point lacking RCT evidence. The dataset enables granular assessment of relapse, NRM, and OS tradeoffs across conditioning modalities.
