Background: Despite significant advances in the treatment of Waldenstrom9s Macroglobulinemia (WM) there is still no cure and approximately 30% of the patients have poor outcome. Defining the role and timing of high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) in the therapeutic algorithm of WM is a major challenge due to the rarity of the disease, the absence of clear prognostic factors to allow risk stratification and the lack of prospective trials. Methods: This project used the RAND-modified Delphi consensus procedure to reach consensus guidance on the use of SCT in WM. A panel of international experts on WM, transplantation, or both were invited to participate. The members of the panel decided in advance the statements to discuss and agreed the threshold to define consensus. The statements were subsequently scored individually and anonymously by each participant, using a 7-point scale (1-3: disagree, 4: neither agree nor disagree, 5-7: agree). Consensus against or in favor of the statement was reached if 80% of the rankings fell in the same group (1-3 or 5-7). Consensus was assessed on the final 18 statements after two rounds of rating. Results: Consensus was reached on the following statements: 1. ASCT is not an appropriate treatment option as part of the 1st line therapy in patients with WM responding (at least partial response -PR-) to induction therapy (regardless of age, ISSWM or biological molecular factors); 2. ASCT is an appropriate treatment option following 2nd and subsequent relapses in high risk patients with chemosensitive disease; 3. Choice of 1st line therapy should avoid the use of stem cell toxic agents in transplant eligible patients with WM; 4. ASCT is not an appropriate treatment option in patients with WM responding and tolerating B cell receptor inhibitors (BCRi); 5. AlloSCT could be considered for patients with WM relapsed post ASCT; 6. AlloSCT should be considered in patients with high-risk WM (ISSWM) in 3rd or subsequent relapses provided they have received immunochemotherapy and BCRi; 7. AlloSCT should be considered in patients with relapsed/refractory WM toimmuno-chemotherapy andresistant to BCRi; 8. If BCRi are available, allo-SCT should not be considered in BCRi-naive patients with WM; and 9. Treatment decisions for SCT should preferentially be based on the clinical course (response and duration of response) rather than on ISSWM or on biological/genetic factors (CXCR4, p53 molecular abnormalities, etc). In contrast, no consensus was reached on: 1. ASCT is an appropriate treatment option in patients with WM who have required more than one line of therapy to achieve a PR; 2. ASCT is an appropriate treatment option in patients with chemo-sensitive relapsed WM with a short ( Conclusion: In the absence of evidence-based data, especially in an orphan disease, consensus methods provide valuable tools to define indications for stem cell transplantation. Despite the undoubted impact on the quality and duration of response of new combination therapies and BCRi, there was consensus that ASCT remains a possible treatment option in patients with chemosensitive high-risk WM following 2nd and subsequent relapses. AlloSCT could be considered in patients with high-risk WM (ISSWM) in 3rd or subsequent relapses. There was agreement on not offering SCT to patients who have not received BCRi, provided they are available. Treatment decisions for SCT should preferentially be based on the clinical course of the disease rather than on biomarkers.
