The prognosis for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with TP53 mutations (mTP53) after an allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is unfavorable mainly due to a higher incidence of relapse [1, 2]. Here, we describe the case of a patient with secondary AML (sAML) with mTP53 who had an early relapse after cord blood transplantation (CBT), followed by a single cycle of azacitidine therapy and a successful second CBT. A 65-year-old man with a 9 year history of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) presented with bicytopenia (hemoglobin 8.4 g/dL; platelet count 51 x109/L) and elevation of blast count (15 x10/L). Bone marrow examination showed 62% blasts and a cytogenetic analysis showed a complex karyotype. Targeted deep sequencing of a panel of 54 genes [TruSight Myeloid Panel (Illumina, San Diego, CA), MiSeq (Illumina)] identified homozygous TP53 mutaitons, p. R158G and p. E11Q. These mutations were also confirmed by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR)[QX200 (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA)]. Variant allele frequency (VAF) was 92% and 84%, respectively. 17p deletion was not detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization and G-band. The patient was diagnosed with sAML. After administration of low-dose cytarabine, he underwent CBT. The conditioning regimen consisted of 4Gy of total body irradiation (TBI), busulfan 9.6 mg/kg, fludarabine 180mg/m2 and cytarabine 12g/m2. Prophylaxis for graft-versushost disease (GVHD) consisted of cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil. Peripheral blasts cleared after conditioning but showed an increase again at day 40. Bone marrow examination showed 36% blasts and 58.4% recipient chimerism. Hence, we stopped cyclosporine and administered azacitidine (75mg/m2, 7 days). Surprisingly, after a single cycle of azacitidine therapy, peripheral blasts cleared again and the VAF of each mTP53, determined by ddPCR, had decreased from about 35-0%. The patient underwent a second CBT on day 125 after the first CBT. This time the conditioning regimen consisted of4Gy of TBI, fludarabine 200mg/m2, and cytarabine 24g/m2. Prophylaxis for GVHD consisted of cyclosporine, which was changed to methylprednisolone because of acute renal failure on day 9 after the second CBT. He achieved complete donor chimerism on day 21 after the second CBT. He remained in remission with an undetectable VAF of mTP53 in the peripheral blood on day 119 after the second CBT.
