Résumé
For most patients with childhood myelodysplastic syndrome (cMDS), allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains the only curative option. In the case of increased blasts (cMDS-IB), the benefit of pretransplant cytoreductive therapy remains controversial. In this multicenter retrospective study, the outcomes of all French children who underwent allo-HSCT for cMDS reported in the SFGM-TC registry between 2000 and 2020 were analyzed ( = 84). The median age at transplantation was 10.2 years. HSCT was performed from matched sibling donors (MSD) in 29% of the cases, matched unrelated donors (MUD) in 44%, haploidentical in 6%, and cord blood in 21%. Myeloablative conditioning was used in 91% of cases. Forty-eight percent of patients presented with cMDS-IB at diagnosis (median BM blasts: 8%). Among them, 50% received pretransplant cytoreductive therapy. Five-year overall survival (OS), cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM), and relapse were 67%, 26%, and 12%, respectively. Six-month cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease was 46%. Considering the whole cohort, age under 12, busulfan/cyclophosphamide/melphalan conditioning or MUD were associated with poorer 5-year OS. In the cMDS-IB subgroup, pretransplant cytoreductive therapy was associated with a better OS in univariate analysis. This seems to be mainly due to a decreased NRM since no impact on the incidence of relapse was observed. Overall, those data may argue in favor of cytoreduction for cMDS-IB. They need to be confirmed on a larger scale and prospectively.
