In classical reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens, including the fludarabine and busulphan (BF) combination, sirolimus and tacrolimus (SIR-TAC) as graft vs host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis has shown acceptable results. The outcomes of SIR-TAC in a more intense RIC regimen as Thiotepa-fludarabine-busulfan (TBF) have been hardly investigated. This retrospective study included all consecutive patients receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for myeloid malignancies (January 2009-2017) conditioned with either TBF or BF and receiving SIR-TAC. Patients receiving TBF presented higher non-relapse mortality (31.6 vs 12.3%,p = .01), along with shorter overall survival (51.8% vs 77.8%,p < .01) at 2 years than patients treated with BF. There were no significant differences in the cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD or moderate-severe chronic GVHD or relapse between both groups. These results suggest that TBF does not seem to improve the traditional RIC BF regimen, at least when associated with SIR-TAC prophylaxis.
