Introduction:

In patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), hematopoietic progenitor transplantation (PHT) is the only curative treatment. The objective of this study is to present the experience and results of haploidentical transplantation in adult patients with AML at the Valle del Lili Foundation, Cali - Colombia.

Materials and methods:

Retrospective cohort study of patients who received haploidentical transplantation between 2013 and 2017, with myeloablative conditioning and post-transplant cyclophosphamide, in Fundación Valle del Lili, Cali (Colombia).

Results:

47 transplants were performed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia on the study date, 21 patients with haploidentical donors were included in the analysis, at 3 years both overall and event-free survival was 38%. The cumulative incidence of transplant-related mortality was 26% at 100 days and 38.3% at 38 months of follow-up. The cumulative incidence of relapse at 38 months was 19%. Regarding graft versus host disease (GVHD), it was found that the cumulative incidence of acute GVHD grade II-IV, grade III-IV and chronic GVHD was 19%, 5% and 19% respectively.

Conclusion:

The results of this study suggest that haploidentical transplantation is a feasible alternative as a treatment for patients diagnosed with AML in our environment.
