Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using a myeloablative conditioning regimen may be considered medically necessary to treat:
poor- to intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1) (see Policy Guidelines section for information on risk stratification); or

AML that is refractory to standard induction chemotherapy but can be brought into CR with intensified induction chemotherapy; or

AML that relapses following chemotherapy-induced CR1 but can be brought into CR2 or beyond with intensified induction chemotherapy; or

AML in individuals who have relapsed following a prior autologous HCT but can be brought into CR with intensified induction chemotherapy and are medically able to tolerate the procedure.

Allogeneic HCT using a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen may be considered medically necessary as a treatment of AML in individuals who are in complete marrow and extramedullary remission (CR1 or beyond), and who for medical reasons would be unable to tolerate a myeloablative conditioning regimen (see Policy Guidelines section).

Autologous HCT may be considered medically necessary to treat AML in CR1 or beyond, or relapsed AML, if responsive to intensified induction chemotherapy in individuals who are not candidates for allogeneic HCT.

Allogeneic and autologous HCT are investigational in individuals not meeting any of the above criteria.
