RESUMEN
Refractory acute myeloid leukaemia is very difficult to treat and represents an unmet clinical need. In recent years, new drugs and combinations of drugs have been tested in this category, with encouraging results. However, all treated patients relapsed and died from the disease. The only curative option is allogeneic transplantation through a graft from a healthy donor immune system. Using myeloablative conditioning regimens, the median overall survival regimens is 19%. Several so-called sequential induction chemotherapies followed by allogeneic transplantation conditioned by reduced intensity regimens have been developed, improving the overall survival to 25-57%. In the allogeneic transplantation field, continuous improvements in practices, particularly regarding graft versus host disease prevention, infection prevention, and treatment, have allowed us to observe improvements in survival rates. This is true mainly for patients in complete remission before transplantation and less so for refractory patients. However, full myeloablative regimens are toxic and carry a high risk of treatment-related mortality. In this review, we describe the results obtained with the different modalities used in more recent retrospective and prospective studies. Based on these findings, we speculate how allogeneic stem cell transplantation could be modified to maximise its therapeutic effect on refractory acute myeloid leukaemia.

Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has emerged as a promising approach for preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, there is a lack of studies examining the impact of this GVHD prophylaxis when different donor types are used in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). This study compared the outcomes of patients with HL undergoing HSCT from HLA-matched donors, including matched sibling donors (MSDs) and matched unrelated donors (MUDs), and haploidentical donors, using PTCy as the GVHD prophylaxis approach in all cohorts. We retrospectively compared outcomes of allo-HSCT from 166 HLA-matched donors (96 sibling and 70 unrelated donors) and 694 haploidentical donors using PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis in patients with HL registered in the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation database from 2010 to 2020. Compared to HLA-matched HSCT, haploidentical donor HSCT was associated with a significantly lower rate of platelet engraftment (86% versus 94%; P < .001) and a higher rate of grade II-IV acute GVHD (34% versus 24%; Pâ¯=â¯.01). The 2-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was significantly lower in the HLA-matched cohort compared to the haploidentical cohort (10% versus 18%; Pâ¯=â¯.02), resulting in a higher overall survival (OS) rate (82% versus 70%; Pâ¯=â¯.002). There were no significant differences between the 2 cohorts in terms of relapse, progression-free survival, or GVHD-free relapse-free survival. In multivariable analysis, haploidentical HSCT was associated with an increased risk of grade II-IV acute GVHD and NRM and worse OS compared to HLA-matched HSCT. Our findings suggest that in the context of PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis, transplantation from HLA-matched donors appears to be a more favorable option compared to haploidentical HSCT.

Although post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) is effective for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, it is associated with toxicities, which might be dose-dependent. We compared the outcomes with PT-Cy at 80 mg/kg to those with PT-Cy at 100 mg/kg in elderly patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Inclusion criteria included peripheral blood stem cells, hematological malignancy, and age>65 years (or age>60 years if cardiac event history). Thirty-eight patients received PT-Cy at 80 mg/kg and 55 100 mg/kg, divided in two doses. The cumulative incidences (CI) of acute grade II-IV, acute grade III-IV, and moderate/severe chronic GVHD were 32%, 16%, and 13% with PT-Cy at 80 mg/kg compared to 33%, 13%, and 16% with 100 mg/kg, respectively. In multivariable analysis, reducing PT-Cy dose had no significant impact on GVHD. Neutrophil and platelet engraftments were significantly improved, and CI of BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis was reduced with 80 mg/kg of PT-Cy compared to 100 mg/kg. At 2 years, non-relapse mortality was 16% and 31%, progression-free survival 65% and 49%, overall survival 70% and 56%, and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival 52% and 36% with 80 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, respectively. Reducing PT-Cy dose to 80 mg/kg is safe and associated with improved hematological recovery and lower CI of hemorrhagic cystitis in elderly patients undergoing haploidentical HCT.

When using post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis for lymphoma patients, it is currently unknown whether a matched unrelated donor (MUD) or a haploidentical related donor is preferable if both are available. In this study we wanted to test whether using a haploidentical donor has the same results of a MUD. A total of 2140 adults (34% Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, 66% European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation registry) aged ≥18 years who received their first haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) or MUD-HCT (8/8 match at HLA-loci A, B, C, and DRB1) for lymphoma using PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis from 2010 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The majority of both MUD and haploidentical HCTs received reduced intensity/nonmyeloablative conditioning (74% and 77%, respectively) and used a peripheral blood stem cell graft (91% and 60%, respectively) and a 3-drug GVHD prophylaxis (PTCy + calcineurin inhibitor + MMF in 54% and 90%, respectively). Haploidentical HCT has less favorable results versus MUD cohort in terms of overall mortality (hazard ratio [HR= = 1.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30-2.27; P < .001), progression-free survival (HR=1.39; 95% CI, 1.10-1.79; P = .008), nonrelapse mortality (HR = 1.93; 95% CI, 1.21-3.07; P = .006), platelet engraftment (HR = 0.69; 95% CI, 0.59-0.80; P < .001), acute grade 2-4 GVHD incidence (HR = 1.65; 95% CI, 1.28-2.14; P < .001), and chronic GVHD (HR = 1.79; 95% CI, 1.30-2.48, P < .001). No significant differences were observed in terms of relapse and neutrophil engraftment. Adjusting for propensity score yielded similar results. Whenever MUD is available in a timely manner, it should be preferred over a haploidentical donor when using PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis for patients with lymphoma.

Transplantation from haploidentical donors is widely used, with progressive reduction of cord blood (CB) as alternative donor. The paper by Matsuda and colleagues, the largest analysing the outcome in non-remission acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) transplanted with haploidentical donor or CB, suggests that CB is still a viable option when considering allogeneic transplantation for advanced AML.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasia (BPDCN) is a rare myeloid malignancy with a generally poor prognosis. Although preliminary evidence suggests that hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) could improve outcome in patients with BPDCN, the individual contributions of conditioning and graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effects to HCT success are undefined. We present a retrospective study of 162 adult patients who underwent a first HCT (allogeneic 146, autologous 16) between 2009 and 2017, and were registered with the EBMT. Median age was 57 (range 20-73) years, and disease status at HCT was first complete remission (CR1) in 78%. Among patients receiving allogeneic HCT (alloHCT), myeloablative conditioning (MAC), reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) and in-vivo T-cell depletion (TCD) were used in 54%, 46%, and 59% respectively. Total body irradiation (TBI) was the conditioning backbone in 61% of MAC and 26% of RIC transplants. One-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were comparable after alloHCT and autologous HCT (autoHCT). Among alloHCT recipients, MAC with TBI significantly improved OS and PFS, independently of CR1, age, Karnofsky index and TCD. Accordingly, MAC (ideally based on TBI) should be preferred for alloHCT recipients with BPDCN. In patients who are not elegible for MAC alloHCT, autoHCT could be considered.

Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide is a curative treatment for many hematological malignancies, yet a majority of patients still suffers from recurrent infections. Post-transplant infusion of memory T-cells could potentially enhance immunological protection without increasing the risk of eliciting acute graft-versus-host disease, which is mainly induced by naïve T-cells. Here, we performed longitudinal analysis of the lymphocyte compartment in 19 patients who underwent haplo-HSCT previously enrolled in a phase II prospective clinical trial (www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT04687982), in which they received post-transplant CD45RA-depleted donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI). T-cell receptor sequencing analysis showed that, surprisingly, CD45RA-depleted DLI do not increase T-cell clonal diversity, but lead to prominent expansion of a selected number of infused memory T-cell clones, suggesting recruitment of these cells in the immune response. Pathogen-specific memory T-cells, including cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific cells, were engrafted and were able to persist for at least 1 month. Deep immunophenotyping revealed strong polyfunctional effector CMV-specific T-cell responses in the majority of patients, with their expansion correlating with the frequency of CMV-specific cells in the donor. These findings provide a rationale behind the suggested improved protection against viral infections in patients receiving CD45RA-depleted DLI.

Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is a treatment option to prevent or treat relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We here report data for 173 patients who received one or multiple DLIs after haploidentical-HCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) at 47 EBMT centers from 2009 to 2018. Indication for DLI was: prophylactic for 59 (34.3%), preemptive for 20(11.6%), and therapeutic for 93(54.1%). For the prophylactic group, the median number of DLIs was 1 (IQR:1-2.5) with a median first dose of 0.1 × 106 CD3+ T cell/kg, for the preemptive 2 (IQR:1-3) with 0.5 × 106 CD3+ T cell/kg, for the therapeutic 1 (IQR:1-3) with 1 × 106CD3+ Tcell/kg, respectively. OS after first DLI was 61% (46-75%) for prophylactic, 40% (19-61%) for preemptive, and 22% (13-31%) for therapeutic. CI of II-IV aGVHD and cGVHD was 17% (7-27%) and 53% (40-67%) for the prophylactic, 20% (2-38%) and 21% (3-39%) for the preemptive, 17% (9-24%) and 24% (15-33%) for the therapeutic group, respectively. Our data show great variability in the indications and modalities of DLI across responding EBMT centers. Survival rates remain relatively low in patients with active disease. While the cumulative incidence of aGVHD appears acceptable, we showed a high incidence of cGVHD in the prophylactic group, compared with preemptive and therapeutic DLI. These data should be investigated further in prospective clinical trials.

Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (h-HSCT) is a therapeutic option to cure patients affected by hematologic malignancies. The kinetics and the quality of immune-reconstitution (IR) impact the clinical outcome of h-HSCT and limit the onset of life-threatening Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection/reactivation. Natural Killer (NK) cells are the first lymphocytes that recover after h-HSCT and they can provide rapid innate immune responses against opportunistic pathogens. By performing a longitudinal single-cell analysis of multiparametric flow-cytometry data, we show here that the persistence at high frequencies of CD158b1b2jneg/NKG2Apos/NKG2Cneg/NKp30pos/NKp46pos (KIRneg) NK cells is associated with HCMV infection/reactivation control. These KIRneg NK cells are "unlicensed", and are not terminal-differentiated lymphocytes appearing early during IR and mainly belonging to CD56bright/CD16neg and CD56bright/CD16pos subsets. KIRneg NK cells are enriched in oxidative and glucose metabolism pathways, produce interferon-γ, and are endowed with potent antiviral activity against HCMV ex vivo. Decreased frequencies of KIRneg NK cells early during IR are associated with clinically relevant HCMV replication. Taken together, our findings indicate that the prolonged persistence of KIRneg NK cells after h-HSCT could serve as a biomarker to better predict HCMV infection/reactivation. This phenomenon also paves the way to optimize anti-viral immune responses by enriching post-transplant donor lymphocyte infusions with KIRneg NK cells.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells are a treatment option for patients with relapse/refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), acute lymphoid leukemia and multiple myeloma. To date, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have been successfully treated with CAR-T cells directed against the CD19 antigen. However, when R/R disease persists after several treatment lines, patients with these diseases are often referred to transplantation centres to receive allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ALLO-SCT). ALLO-SCT and CAR-T cells share mechanism of actions, inducing immune effects of T-cells (and other cells after transplantation) against lymphoma cells, but they differ in several other characteristics. These differences justify unique positioning of each therapy within treatment algorithms. In this paper, we analyzed the results obtained after ALLO-SCT and CAR-T-cell therapy in patients with aggressive lymphomas (large B-cell lymphoma and MCL) to identify the ideal scenarios in which these 2 immunological therapies should be employed.
RESUMEN
Donor selection may contribute to improve clinical outcomes of T cell-replete haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo-SCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy). Impact of second-degree related donor (SRD) was not fully elucidated in this platform. We retrospectively compared the outcome of patients receiving Haplo-SCT either from a SRD (n = 31) or a first-degree related donor (FRD, n = 957). Median time to neutrophil and platelet recovery did not differ between a SRD and a FRD transplant (p = 0.599 and 0.587). Cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus host disease (GVHD) and moderate-severe chronic GVHD was 13% and 19% after SRD vs 24% (p = 0.126) and 13% (p = 0.395) after FRD transplant. One-year cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 19% for SRD and 20% for FRD (p = 0.435) cohort. The 3-year probability of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was 42% vs 55% (p = 0.273) and 49% vs 35% (p = 0.280) after SRD and FRD transplant, respectively. After propensity score adjustment or matched pair analysis, the outcome of patients receiving Haplo-SCT from a SRD or a FRD did not differ in terms of NRM, OS, PFS, acute and chronic GVHD. Our results suggest that a SRD is a viable option for Haplo-SCT with PT-Cy when a FRD is not available.

Unmanipulated haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis (haplo-PTCY) and unrelated double-unit umbilical cord blood transplantation (dUCBT) are feasible options for treating patients with high-risk acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). This study compared outcomes after dUCBT and haplo-HCT using peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) in adult patients with AML in complete remission (CR) who underwent transplantation in European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT)-affiliated centers. In a population of adults with de novo AML in first or second CR, we compared outcomes after dUCBT (n = 165) and after haplo-PTCY PBSC (n = 544) performed between January 2013 and December 2018. Patients receiving in vivo antithymocyte globulin, Campath, or ex vivo T cell depletion were excluded. The median follow-up was 33 months for the haplo-PTCY arm and 52 months for the dUCBT arm. No statistically significant differences were observed between the 2 arms in the rates of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (hazard ratio [HR], 1.31; P = .18), grade III-IV acute GVHD (HR, 1.17; P = .56), chronic GVHD (HR, .86; P = .48), relapse (HR, 1.07; P = .77), nonrelapse mortality (NRM) (HR, .94; P = .77), leukemia-free survival (LFS) (HR, .99; P = .95), or overall survival (OS) (HR, .99; P = .97). Favorable cytogenetic risk was the sole factor predictive of lower relapse incidence (RI). Younger age at transplantation was associated with lower NRM and higher LFS and OS. Both dUCBT and haplo-PTCY with PBSCs can be considered valid approaches for adult AML patients in CR. New strategies should be investigated in both settings to define the most appropriate conditioning regimen and potentially decrease RI and NRM through better immune reconstitution and optimal supportive care.

The use of haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) with peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) to treat acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is increasing. We explored whether the addition of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) to post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) allows better outcomes compared with PTCy alone in haplo-HCT with PBSCs (haplo-PBSCT). We included 441 adult patients undergoing a first haplo-PBSCT for AML in first or second complete remission; graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis contained either PTCy alone (n = 374) or ATG plus PTCy (n = 67), in addition to cyclosporine A (CsA) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as other immunosuppressive agents. All transplantations were performed between 2011 and 2019. No major imbalances were observed between the 2 groups. For both groups, the median patient age was 56 years, and the median year of haplo-PBSCT was 2017. Most patients received a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen (57% in the PTCy group and 61% in the ATG+PTCy group; P = .54). The median follow-up was 19 months in the PTCy group versus 15 months in the ATG+PTCy group (P = .59), and the rate of neutrophil engraftment in the 2 groups was 97% and 98%, respectively. In univariate analysis, there were no statistical differences in transplantation outcomes between the 2 groups. In multivariate analysis, ATG+PTCy was associated with a lower risk of chronic GVHD compared with PTCy alone (hazard ratio, .46; 95% confidence interval, .23 to .93; P = .03). No between-group differences in the other transplantation outcomes were seen. In haplo-PBSCT, the addition of ATG to PTCy (with CsA and MMF) is feasible and better at preventing chronic GVHD and is associated with survival and transplantation outcomes comparable to those with PTCy alone, without increasing transplantation toxicity, mortality, or relapse incidence.

The optimal conditioning regimen prior haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo-SCT) with post transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains unknown. A non-myeloablative conditioning (NMAC) regimen (cyclophosphamide + fludarabine + TBI 2 Gy [CyFluTBI]) is a safe approach, but relapse incidence remains high in this setting. Alternatively, a reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen combining thiotepa and reduced-dose busulfan with fludarabine (TBF) may decrease AML relapse. However, an excess of toxicity may counterbalance this potential benefit. We retrospectively compared CyFluTBI vs. TBF in CR AML patients who underwent Haplo-SCT with PT-Cy, in two different populations based on age. We analyzed 490 patients. In patients aged <60 years (n = 203), we observed a higher RI (HR = 3.59, 95% CI = 1.75-7.37, p < 0.01), lower LFS (HR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.22-3.22, p < 0.01) and lower OS (HR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.04-2.88, p = 0.04) in the CyFluTBI group, without significant difference in NRM. In older patients (n = 287), we observed that conditioning regimen did not significantly influence LFS (HR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.56-1.44, p = 0.65), OS (HR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.49-1.32, p = 0.39) and RI (HR = 1.78, 95% CI = 0.90-3.50, p = 0.10), but showed that CyFluTBI was associated with a significantly lower risk of NRM (HR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.25-0.92, p = 0.03). Thus, younger patients seem to benefit from conditioning intensification from CyFluTBI to TBF regimens prior PT-Cy Haplo-SCT for CR AML, while older ones do not.

Non-T-cell depleted haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (Haplo-HCT) is a unique transplantation setting in which several donors are available. We assessed the impact of donor kinship on outcome of Haplo-HCT with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide in a cohort of 717 acute leukemia patients. We compared sibling with parent donors in patients ≤45 years, and child with sibling donors in patients >45 years. Donor kinship was not associated with worse outcomes in multivariate analysis. For patients ≤45 years, the hazard ratio (HR) for leukemia-free survival (LFS), overall survival (OS), relapse incidence (RI), and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) was 0.87 (p = 0.75), 1.19 (p = 0.7), 0.52 (p = 0.19), and 0.99 (p = 0.97) for parents versus siblings, respectively, and for patients >45 years the HR was 0.93 (p = 0.8), 0.98 (p = 0.94), 1.3 (p = 0.53), and 0.98 (p = 0.95) for children versus siblings, respectively. Univariate incidence of acute GVHD grade II-IV was significantly higher in patients transplanted from siblings versus children (p = 0.002). Factors associated with inferior outcome were advanced disease and earlier transplant. In patients ≤45 years, acute lymphocytic leukemia and peripheral blood stem cell graft were additional prognostic factors for OS. We did not find a significant impact of donor kinship on transplantation outcome when analyzing by age group (≤45 and >45 years).

The association of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and graft-versus-leukemia effect after stem-cell transplantation (SCT) is well established but with limited data in the setting of haploidentical SCT (haploSCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). We used a series of landmark analyses to investigate this association in 805 AML patients following haploSCT. On day +100, 707 patients were alive and leukemia-free, 500 had no prior acute GVHD, 137 had acute GVHD grade II and 70 had grade III-IV. Subsequent relapse rates were 20.3%, 23.2% and 15.0%, respectively (P = 0.52). Subsequent non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 8.6%, 17.8% and 38.6%, respectively (P < 0.0001). Leukemia-free survival (LFS) was 71.0%, 59.0% and 46.3%, respectively (P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed that acute GVHD grade II and grade III-IV were not associated with relapse (HR 1.21, P = 0.37 and HR 1.03, P = 0.94), but were associated with increased NRM (HR 2.09, P = 0.005 and HR 6.41, P < 0.0001) and lower LFS (HR 1.47, P = 0.02 and HR 2.59, P = <â0.0001). Chronic GVHD was not associated with subsequent relapse. Extensive chronic GVHD was associated with higher NRM (HR 6.72, P < 0.0001) and inferior LFS (HR 3.29, P = <â0.0001). GVHD of any type or grade is not associated with lower relapse after haploSCT with PTCy. Severe forms are associated with higher NRM and lower survival.

Whether to choose Haploidentical (Haplo) or one-antigen mismatched unrelated donor (1Ag-MMUD) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) remains an unanswered question. We compared PTCy- Haplo-HCT to PTCy-1Ag-MMUD-HCT for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete remission (three groups: 1Ag-MMUD using peripheral blood (1Ag-MMUD-PB; n = 155); Haplo using bone marrow (Haplo-BM; n = 647) or peripheral blood (Haplo-PB; n = 949)). Haplo-BM and Haplo-PB had a higher non-relapse mortality (NRM) compared to 1Ag-MMUD-PB (HR 2.28, 95% CI 1.23-4.24, p < 0.01; HR 2.65, 95% CI 1.46-4.81, p < 0.01, respectively). Haplo groups experienced a lower leukemia-free survival (LFS) compared to 1Ag-MMUD-PB (Haplo-BM: HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.06-2.14, p = 0.02; Haplo-PB: 1.47, 95% CI 1.05-2.05, p = 0.02); overall survival (OS) was also lower in Haplo-HCT (Haplo-BM: HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.02-2.21, p = 0.04; Haplo-PB: HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.05-2.19, p = 0.03). No differences were observed for graft-versus-host/relapse-free survival (GRFS) and relapse incidence (RI). Haplo-BM was associated with a lower risk of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (HR 0.44, 95% CI 0.24-0.81; p < 0.01), while no statistical differences were observed between groups for grade II-IV aGVHD and for cGVHD. Use of PTCy in 1Ag-MMUD-HCT is a valid alternative to consider when using alternative donors. Larger analysis of 1Ag-MMUD versus Haplo-HCT are warranted.

Mature T-cell lymphomas constitute the most common indication for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) of all lymphomas. Large studies evaluating contemporary outcomes of allo-HCT in mature T-cell lymphomas relative to commonly used donor sources are not available. Included in this registry study were adult patients who had undergone allo-HCT for anaplastic large cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), or peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) between 2008 and 2018. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) platforms compared were posttransplant cyclophosphamide-based haploidentical (haplo-)HCT, matched sibling donor (MSD) HCT, matched unrelated donor HCT with in vivo T-cell depletion (MUD TCD+), and matched unrelated donor HCT without in vivo T-cell depletion (MUD TCD-). Coprimary end points were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS); secondary end points included nonrelapse mortality (NRM), and relapse/progression incidence (RI). A total of 1942 patients were eligible (237 haplo-HCT; 911 MSD; 468 MUD TCD+; 326 MUD TCD-). Cohorts were comparable for baseline characteristics with the exception of higher proportions of patients with decreased performance status (PS) and marrow graft recipients in the haplo-HCT group. Using univariate and multivariate comparisons, OS, PFS, RI, and NRM were not significantly different among the haplo-HCT, MSD, MUD TCD+, and MUD TCD- cohorts, with 3-year OS and PFS of 60%, 63%, 59%, and 64%, respectively, and 50%, 50%, 48%, and 52%, respectively. Significant predictors of inferior OS and PFS on multivariate analysis were active disease status at HCT and decreased PS. AITL was associated with significantly reduced relapse risk and better PFS compared with PTCL-NOS. Allo-HCT can provide durable PFS in patients with mature T-cell lymphoma (TCL). Outcomes of haplo-HCT were comparable to those of matched donor allo-HCT.
