| Abstract: |
There is paucity of data from developing countries on the clinical outcomes in myeloma post-autologous transplantation. In this retrospective study, we used hospital records to retrieve data of patients with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) from January 1995 to December 2014 at our centre. During the study period, 245 patients underwent ASCT for myeloma. Of these, 19%, 37% and 37% were in complete response, very good partial response and partial response respectively at the time of ASCT. Only in 14 (5.7%) patients, the stem cells were cryopreserved. The transplant related mortality was 2.86%. The median follow up was 40.7 months (range 0–237.4 months). The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for the entire cohort was 61.6% ± 3.8% and 37.2% ± 3.9% respectively. Independent predictors of OS included mononuclear cell dose infused, pre- and post-transplant response; and the use of maintenance therapy. Independent predictors of PFS included age at diagnosis, pre- and post-transplant response; and the use of maintenance therapy. In a resource limited setting, ASCT for myeloma is associated with low transplant related mortality. Pre- and post-transplant response and maintenance therapy are predictors of survival.
