Nonmyeloablative Stem Cell Transplantation for Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Patients 60 Years or Older
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We analyzed the outcomes of 24 consecutive patients aged >or=60 years with poor-prognosis myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia undergoing transplantation with nonmyeloablative conditioning using fludarabine (125 mg/m2) and low-dose total body irradiation (2 Gy) followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell grafts from HLA-identical sibling donors. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consisted of cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil. The median age of the patients was 64 years (range, 60-71 years). In addition to age, 88% of patients had 1 or more adverse biological features of the disease. With a median follow-up of 21 months, 12 patients are alive, 11 of whom are disease free. The probabilities of 2-year overall and progression-free survival were 52% and 44%, respectively. The cumulative probabilities of relapse and of acute and chronic GVHD were 27%, 45%, and 74%, respectively. Nonrelapse mortality at 100 days and 2 years was 8% and 25%, respectively. Of the 15 patients with extensive chronic GVHD, 1 patient relapsed. These data suggest that nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation is a feasible treatment option in patients aged >or=60 years with poor-prognosis myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. The reasonable disease control with nonmyeloablative transplantation in this high-risk group of patients merits further investigation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
