Cryopreserved versus non-cryopreserved stem cell autografts in multiple myeloma a restrospective cohort study
The use of non-cryopreserved hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) can be an alternative to the traditional cryopreserved infusions of HSCs in autologous stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). After high-dose melphalan conditioning (HDM), we sought to compare time to engraftment, overall survival, and safety i...

Summary: | The use of non-cryopreserved hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) can be an alternative to the traditional cryopreserved infusions of HSCs in autologous stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). After high-dose melphalan conditioning (HDM), we sought to compare time to engraftment, overall survival, and safety in multiple myeloma (MM) patients undergoing a first aHSCT after high-dose melphalan conditioning (HDM). We conducted a cohort study from March 2018 to December 2019. Of all autologous transplants performed during this period, 105 were for MM as the first consolidation. Fifty-one patients received a cryopreserved graft; the remaining 54 patients received a fresh infusion. General clinical characteristics were similar between these two groups. Cell viability was higher in non-cryopreserved grafts (95% vs. 86%
