The aim was to compare outcomes between patients receiving a clofarabine-based reduced-intensity conditioning regimen combined either with busulfan (CloB2, n = 108) or treosulfan (CloT3, n = 34). CloB2 consisted of busulfan 3.2 mg/kg/day 2 days (d) with 1 or 2 d of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). CloT3 consisted of treosulfan 10 g/m²/d 3 d and 2 d of ATG. The CloT3 group included more patients with adverse-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Neutrophil recovery was significantly faster after CloT3, resulting in a shorter hospital stay. No significant differences were observed between groups regarding overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free/relapse-free survival, non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse incidence (RI), or acute and chronic GVHD. Among AML patients, univariable analysis showed similar outcomes, except for slower neutrophil recovery and higher RI with CloB2. In multivariable analysis, adverse ELN-2017 risk score, was associated with lower OS and DFS. CloT3 was independently associated with improved OS (p = 0.038), DFS (p = 0.026) and lower RI (p = 0.024). These exploratory results support further prospective studies, particularly in AML patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":9126,"journal":{"name":"Bone Marrow Transplantation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148788260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has emerged as a therapeutic strategy targeting the underlying gut dysbiosis associated with aGvHD. This study presents retrospective data on FMT for SR/D-aGvHD. This retrospective, multicenter study was conducted by the Complications Working Party of the EBMT. Data were collected from 9 centers on patients who received FMT for the treatment of SR/D-aGvHD between 2014 and 2019. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR) at day 28 post-FMT. Forty-seven patients were analyzed. The primary indication for FMT was gastrointestinal aGvHD (GI-aGvHD). In this heavily pre-treated, ruxolitinib-naïve population, the ORR at day 28 was 60.5%, increasing to 69.2% by day 56. At last follow-up, 23 patients (64% of survivors) had no symptoms of aGvHD. Adverse events related to FMT were reported in 24 patients (51.1%). A clinically significant secondary benefit was the 54.5% decolonization rate of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
