Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has emerged as a novel therapeutic option for hematologic malignancies. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) amplifying 5' long terminal repeat and gag genes cross-react with lentiviral vector-based CAR T-cell products. Cross-reactivity between CAR T-cell products and HIV NAATs may lead to false-positive test results.
RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: Patients who undergo human leukocyte antigen-matched unrelated donor (MUD) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with myeloablative conditioning for hematologic malignancies often develop acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) despite standard calcineurin inhibitor-based prophylaxis in combination with methotrexate. This trial evaluated a novel human CD24 fusion protein (CD24Fc/MK-7110) that selectively targets and mitigates inflammation due to damage-associated molecular patterns underlying acute GVHD while preserving protective immunity after myeloablative conditioning. This phase 2a, multicenter study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of CD24Fc in combination with tacrolimus and methotrexate in preventing acute GVHD in adults undergoing MUD HSCT for hematologic malignancies. A double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation phase to identify a recommended dose was followed by an open-label expansion phase with matched controls to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD24Fc in preventing acute GVHD. A multidose regimen of CD24Fc produced sustained drug exposure with similar safety outcomes when compared with single-dose regimens. Grade 3 to 4 acute GVHD-free survival at day 180 was 96.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 75.7-99.4) in the CD24Fc expansion cohort (CD24Fc multidose), compared with 73.6% (95% CI, 63.2-81.4) in matched controls (hazard ratio, 0.1 [95% CI, 0.0-0.6]; log-rank test, P = .03). No participants in the CD24Fc escalation or expansion phases experienced dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). The multidose regimen of CD24Fc was well tolerated with no DLTs and was associated with high rates of severe acute GVHD-free survival after myeloablative MUD HSCT. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT02663622.

Total-body irradiation (TBI)-based conditioning regimen is preferred in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We retrospectively evaluated allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) outcomes of 86 adult ALL patients in complete remission (CR) who received TBI-containing reduced intensity (RIC) (Flu/Mel/TBI = 31) and myeloablative conditioning (MAC) (VP16/TBI = 47; CY/TBI = 8) between January 2005 and December 2019. All patients received peripheral blood allografts. Patients in the RIC group were older than the MAC group (61 years old versus 36 years, p < .001). Donor was 8/8 HLA-matched in 83% and unrelated in 65% of patients. Three-year survival was 56.04% for RIC and 69.9% for MAC (HR 0.64; p = .19). Propensity score-based multivariable Cox analyses (PSCA) did not demonstrate any difference in grade III-IV acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) (SHR 1.23, p = .91), chronic GVHD (SHR 0.92, p = .88), survival (HR 0.94, p = .92), and relapse-free survival (HR 0.66, p = .47) between both groups, while relapse rate was lower (SHR 0.21, p = .02) for MAC compared to RIC. Our study did not demonstrate any difference in survival for TBI-containing RIC and MAC alloSCT for adult ALL in CR.

The overall survival in patients with transplantation-eligible multiple myeloma has tripled over the past 2 decades, leading to a growing population of myeloma survivors. However, there is a paucity of data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), distress, and health behaviors in long-term myeloma survivors who are in stable remission after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT). In this cross-sectional study using data from 2 randomized controlled trials of survivorship care plans and internet-based self-management intervention in transplantation survivors, the primary objective was to measure HRQoL (using the Short Form-12, version 2.0 [SF-12 v2]), distress (using the Cancer- and Treatment-Related Distress [CTXD] instrument), and health behaviors of myeloma survivors in stable remission after AHCT. A total of 345 patients at a median of 4 years (range, 1.4 to 11 years) post-AHCT were included. The mean SF-12 v2 Physical Component Summary (PCS) score was 45.5 ± 10.5, and the mean Mental Component Summary (MCS) score was 51.3 ± 10.1, compared with US population norms of 50 ± 10 for both (P < .001 and P = .021 for PCS and MCS comparisons, respectively). Notably, neither reached the threshold for a minimal clinically important difference. Approximately one-third of the patients had clinically significant distress based on the CTXD total score, with distress reported by 53% of the patients in the Health Burden domain, by 46% in the Uncertainty domain, by 33% in the Finances domain, by 31% in the Family Strain domain, by 21% in the Identity domain, and by 15% in the Medical Demands domain. Preventive care guidelines were adhered to by 81% of the myeloma survivors; however, adherence to exercise and diet guidelines were relatively low, at 33% and 13%, respectively. Myeloma AHCT survivors in stable remission have no clinically meaningful worsening in physical functioning compared with the general population. Survivorship programs should address ongoing distress due to health burden, uncertainty, and finances in myeloma survivors, along with evidence-based targeted interventions for modifiable health behaviors, such as nutrition and exercise.

The use of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been increasing in older patients. However, the levels if distress, psychosocial functioning, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among older HCT survivors remains largely unknown. In this secondary analysis using data from 2 randomized controlled trials, we analyzed baseline Cancer and Treatment Distress (CTXD) and Confidence In Survivorship Information (CSI) surveys of HCT survivors who were age ≥60 years at the time of transplantation and alive and disease-free ≥1 year post-autologous or -allogeneic HCT. We analyzed associations of these parameters with the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores of the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) and a healthcare adherence (HCA) scale, after adjusting for transplantation and patient demographic factors. A total of 567 patients were included. The median patient age at HCT was 65 years, and 68% of the patients underwent autologous HCT. The median CTXD score was .7 (mild), and the greatest distress was reported in the "health burden" subscale. The median CSI score was 1.4 (moderate-high), with the lowest confidence reported in the "late effects" subscale. We found negative Spearman correlations between CTXD score and SF-12 PCS (P = -.59) and MCS (P = -.54) and positive Spearman correlations between CSI score and SF-12 PCS (P = .23) and MCS (P = .30). The median HCA scale score was high at .8. Male sex, autologous HCT, increased distress level, and worse CSI score were associated with lower use of preventive care. Older survivors experienced a low level of distress and moderate-high level of CSI at ≥1 year post-HCT. As lower distress and higher CSI were associated with improved HRQOL and optimized preventive HCA, CTXD/CSI measures can be used to individualize the care of older adult HCT survivors.

Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with poor prognosis and continue to be challenging to treat. The choice of first line induction regimen remains a topic of debate due paucity of clinical trials. We retrospectively evaluated 66 patients diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma who achieved first complete response after induction chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant. Treatment groups were divided into low-intensity versus high-intensity regimens. Our data showed the intensity of induction regimen does not impact posttransplant outcomes of mantle cell lymphoma who underwent autologous stem cell transplant in first complete response.

Purpose: Women with locally advanced/high-risk triple-negative breast cancer treated with the current standard chemotherapy continue to have a poor prognosis. High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplant as treatment for locally advanced/high-risk breast cancer remains controversial due to a lack of survival benefit seen in previous phase III trials. However, these trials evaluated a heterogeneous group of patients with different receptor subtypes. A marginal benefit was observed in certain subgroups. We report long-term outcomes of women with stage IIB or III triple-negative breast cancer treated with high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant at our institution between 1995 and 2001. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of stage IIB or stage III triple-negative breast cancer treated with high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant. We excluded women with hormone-positive, HER2/neu-positive/unknown, and/or metastatic disease prior to transplant as per updated AJCC 7th edition guidelines. Patients underwent surgery and either neoadjuvant or adjuvant anthracycline and taxane-based chemotherapy and then proceeded to high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant using carmustine 600 mg/sqm, cyclophosphamide 5.6gm/sqm, and cisplatin 165 mg/sqm (STAMP 1 regimen) for consolidation. This was followed by locoregional breast and lymph node radiation per standard of care. Results: Twenty-nine women (2 stage IIB and 27 stage III) were evaluated. The median age at diagnosis was 43 years (IQR: 40, 51). Eleven patients had 4-9 regional lymph nodes (LN) involved and 16 had 10+ involved LNs. Four patients had T4 or inflammatory breast cancer and two had ipsilateral supraclavicular LNs involved. The median follow-up time is 16 years (95% CI: 12, 19, range <1-19 y) posttransplant. The median overall survival was 15 years (95% CI: 3, 19); the median DFS was 14 years (95% CI: 1, 19). Conclusions: This study of locally advanced/high-risk triple-negative breast cancer treated with adjuvant high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant reveals high overall survival rate. With the current improvement in treatment-related mortality, re-evaluating this approach in this subset of high-risk breast cancer in prospective randomized studies may be worthwhile.
RESUMEN
Young adults (YA), age 18 to 39 years, are at a stage of life that may make them more vulnerable than older adults to impairments in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) during and after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Health self-efficacy (HSE), the belief that one can implement strategies to produce a desired health outcome, has been associated with health outcomes in oncology research. Little is known about HRQOL or HSE in YA HCT survivors compared with older HCT survivors. Given the age-specific psychosocial challenges facing YA HCT recipients and research on non-transplant YA cancer survivors, we hypothesized that YA survivors would have worse post-HCT HRQOL compared with older adults, and that among YA HCT survivors, higher levels of HSE would be associated with higher levels of HRQOL and lower levels of cancer-related distress. This was a cross-sectional secondary analysis of 2 combined baseline datasets from multicenter studies of HCT survivors approached for participation in clinical trials of survivorship interventions. Participants from 20 transplantation centers in the United States were at 1 to 10 years post-HCT and age ≥18 years at the time of study enrollment, had no evidence of disease relapse/progression or subsequent malignancies, and could read English adequately to consent for and complete assessments. Medical record and patient-reported data were obtained for demographics and HCT-related clinical factors and complications (eg, total body irradiation, chronic graft-versus-host disease [cGVHD]). Participants completed surveys on HRQOL, including the Short-Form [SF]-12, HSE, and Cancer and Treatment Distress (CTXD), which includes 6 subscales and reports an overall mean score. On the SF-12, both the Mental Component Score (MCS) and Physical Component Score (PCS) were calculated. Two cohorts were compared: YAs (age 18 to 39 years at transplantation) and older adults (age ≥40 years at transplantation). Multiple linear regression analyses identified factors associated with HSE, PCS, MCS, and CTXD in YAs. In this analysis of 979 survivors, compared with the older adults, the YA participants had lower median mental health scores (SF-12 MCS: 48.40 versus 50.23; P = .04) and higher cancer-related distress (CTXD: .96 versus .85; P = .04), but better physical health (SF-12 PCS: 48.99 versus 47.18; P = .049). Greater overall cancer-related distress was driven by higher levels of uncertainty, financial concern, and medical demand subscales for YAs compared with older adults. Young adults also had lower HSE (2.93 versus 3.08; P = .0004). In a multivariate model, HSE was strongly associated with age group (P = .0005) after adjusting for multiple other transplantation-related factors. Among YAs, HSE was associated with the SF-12 MCS and PCS and the CTXD, and HSE remained significant after adjusting for other transplantation-related factors. Overall, the YA HCT survivors had lower mental health, increased cancer-related distress, and lower levels of HSE compared with the older adults. Although the direction of these effects cannot be determined with these data, the strong association between HSE and HRQOL among YAs suggests that targeting interventions to improve HSE may have broad impact on health outcomes.

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) survivors have a complex and multiphase recovery period. Health care delivery and psychosocial interventions for HCT survivors are challenging because many HCT recipients live great distances from the facility where they had their HCT. Therefore identifying factors associated with a patient's capability to self-manage symptoms is a significant focus of survivorship research. A patient's self-efficacy may be important for the successful management of major stressors associated with treatments and recovery. Here, we aimed to evaluate the impact of perceived self-efficacy on distress, quality of life (QoL), depression, and fatigue and identify the factors associated with lower self-efficacy. This cross-sectional study analyzed baseline data from a randomized controlled trial INSPIRE (NCT01602211) in adult (age 18 and older) survivors 2 to 10 years after HCT. Patients with recurrence or subsequent malignancy requiring cancer treatment during the 2 years before enrollment, inability to read and understand English, and lack of access to email and the Internet were excluded. Data included medical records and patient-reported outcomes including Cancer and Treatment Distress (CTXD) with 6 subscales, Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale (PHQ-8), Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12) physical function and mental function scores, Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) and Self-Efficacy. Pearson correlations were used to test bivariate associations for self-efficacy of CTXD, SF-12, BFI, and PHQ-8. General linear models were used to test the independent associations for CTXD and SF-12 outcomes with self-efficacy, controlling for selected sociodemographic and treatment covariates. Tenability of statistical model assumptions were examined, and no remediation was necessary. A total of 1078 HCT survivors were included in the analysis. Participants were 19 to 85 years (mean age 58), 53% male, and over 90% White and non-Hispanic. Only 16% reported living in a rural area. A majority received an autologous HCT (55%) and were less than 5 years from their first HCT (54%). Among the allogeneic HCT recipients, more than half (55%) had active chronic Graft-versus-Host (cGVHD) and nearly 40% were on active systemic treatment. The mean self-efficacy score was 3.01 (SD = 0.49). Female sex (P = .014), younger age at HCT, younger age at cGVHD presentation (P = .031), moderate to severe currently active cGVHD (P = .003) and household income less than $40,000 (P< .001) were associated with lower self-efficacy. In bivariate analyses, self-efficacy was negatively correlated with mean total distress (CTXD, r = -.5, P< .001) and each of the CTXD subscales. HCT survivors with higher self-efficacy also reported better physical (r 0.48, P< .001) and mental function on the SF-12 (r = 0.57, P< .001). Moreover, self-efficacy was negatively correlated with symptoms such as fatigue (r = -.44, P< .001) and depression (r = -.48, P< .001). In a regression model investigating the impact of self-efficacy on CTXD controlled for demographics and disease characteristics, lower self-efficacy was independently associated with higher distress (CTXD, ß = -.232; 95% CI [-.294, -.169], P< .001). Moreover, there was a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and both mental (ß = 4.68; 95% CI [3.82, 5.54]; P< .001) and physical (ß = 2.69; 95% CI [1.74, 3.64]; P< .001) components of QoL. Our study demonstrates that lower levels of self-efficacy reported by HCT survivors were independently associated with higher levels of symptoms such as fatigue and depression, lower QoL, and more cancer-related distress. Furthermore, self-efficacy was more likely to be impaired in females, younger adults, those with lower incomes, and survivors with active cGVHD. These findings support the value of self-management interventions focused on improving self-efficacy as having the potential to improve multiple symptoms and QoL in HCT survivors.

The importance of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in cellular therapies, including hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is highlighted in this study. Longitudinal collection of PROs in a registry is recommended for several reasons, yet to date, PROs are not routinely collected from HCT patients to augment clinical registry data. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of electronic PRO data collection by a national clinical outcomes registry, by assessing differences between who does and does not report PROs. We conducted a cross-sectional pilot collection of PROs from HCT recipients after treatment using computer-adapted tests from the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS). We implemented centralized data collection through the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) among patients who underwent HCT for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), were at least 6 months post-HCT, and spoke English or Spanish. The main objective was identifying patient, disease, and transplant-related differences associated with completion of electronic PROs. Patients were excluded from analysis if they were determined to be ineligible (deceased, did not speak English or Spanish, refused to be contacted by the CIBMTR). A total of 163 patients were contacted and potentially eligible to participate; of these, 92 (56%) enrolled and 89 (55%) completed the PRO assessment. The most frequent reason for incomplete surveys was inability to contact patients (n = 88), followed by declining to participate in the study (n = 37). There were no sociodemographic or age differences between those who completed the PRO survey (n = 89) and eligible nonresponders (n = 155). Patient scores were within 3 points of the US average of 50 for all symptoms and functioning except physical functioning. Responders and nonresponders did not exhibit meaningfully different sociodemographic characteristics. Difficulty contacting patients posed the greatest barrier and also provided the greatest opportunity for improvement. Once enrolled, survey completion was high. These results support standardizing centralized PRO data collection through the CIBMTR registry.

T-cell lymphoma (TCL) poses a therapeutic challenge. Allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) is frequently offered in primary refractory disease or failed autologous transplant. We systematically searched published articles on outcomes of alloSCT in TCL through PubMed and EMBASE database between January 2000 and October 2019. Among 651 identified studies, 22 (888 patients) were included. Forty percent patients had peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified, 15% had angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, 21% had anaplastic large cell lymphoma, 5% had cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and 19% had other histologic subtypes. Thirty-six percent patients had relapsed/refractory disease. Myeloablative conditioning regimens were used in 55% patients. At two-, three- and five-year post-transplant, overall survival was 57, 54 and 51%, respectively; progression-free survival was 45, 50 and 45%, respectively; non-relapse mortality was 9, 29 and 29%, respectively; relapse rate was 30, 28 and 29%, respectively. Our study shows that alloSCT provides durable remission in T cell lymphoma.

Utilization of novel agents such as brentuximab vedotin (BV) and check-point inhibitors (CI) has increased in patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL). We conducted a retrospective study of 209 patients who had ASCT for r/r cHL at our institution and compared outcomes of those who had ASCT from 2010-2018 (cohort 2, n = 110) with those who had ASCT between 2000 and 2009 (cohort 1, n = 99). The median OS was 7.6 years for cohort 1 [HR 2.08; 95% CI 1.14-3.80; p = 0.017] and not reached for cohort 2; with 4-year improved OS difference of 15% (80% vs 65%) in cohort 2 vs cohort 1. The median PFS of cohort 1 was 30 months vs 39 months for cohort 2[HR 1.24; 95% CI 0.82-1.88; p = 0.3]. This study highlights improved OS of r/r cHL patients who have received ASCT in the novel agent era due to the exposure to agents such as BV and CIs.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease. B-cell receptor (BCR) pathway is essential for malignant B-cell growth, survival, and proliferation. Various immune cells, including T-cells and macrophages in the tumor microenvironment (TME) contribute to tumor cell survival and pathogenesis of chemo-resistance. The presence of many targets on the malignant B-cells and in the TME has led to emergence of novel therapeutic agents. Stem cell transplant is the oldest treatment modality leveraging immune system in DLBCL. Subsequently, CD20 targeting monoclonal antibody and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy changed the treatment landscape of DLBCL. Recently, multiple novel immunotherapeutic agents have been added in the armamentarium for the management of DLBCL, and many are under development. In this review article, we will review latest updates of immunotherapeutic agents in the management of DLBCL.
RESUMEN
Limited information is available on the efficacy of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTcy) or thymoglobulin for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) transplants. We retrospectively compared outcomes of 76 adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who underwent 7/8 HLA-MMUD transplantation and received either PTcy (50 mg/kg on day 3 and 4) or thymoglobulin (total dose 4.5 mg/kg) for GVHD prophylaxis. In addition, tacrolimus and mycophenolate were used in both groups. Propensity score-based multivariable analyses (PSCA) were performed to adjust confounding effects of patient characteristics between both groups. Between January 2006 and June 2019, 25 patients received PTcy, and 51 received thymoglobulin. Median age of the population was 57 years, 78% of patients had AML, most common graft source was peripheral blood (96%), and 46% received myeloablative conditioning regimens. Median time to neutrophil (15 versus 11 days, P < .001) and platelet engraftment (21 versus 15 days, P = .002) was prolonged in the PTcy group. The cumulative incidence of grade III-IV acute GVHD at day 100 was similar (12% versus 19.6%, P = .38), whereas chronic GVHD at 1 year was lower with PTcy compared to thymoglobulin (16% versus 49%, P = .006). Using PSCA, no difference in survival, relapse, relapse-free survival, and GVHD-free relapse-free survival was seen between groups. However, thymoglobulin was associated with higher incidence of acute (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.63, P = .01) and chronic GVHD (HR = 4.43, P = .03), and non-relapse mortality (HR 3.38, P = .04) compared to PTcy. Our study demonstrated that PTcy resulted in significantly lower rates of acute and chronic GVHD and non-relapse mortality compared to thymoglobulin in 7/8 HLA-MMUD transplants for AML and MDS.

Fludarabine 30 mg/m2/d × 5 and melphalan 140 mg/m2 × 1 (Flu-Mel140) is a commonly used reduced-intensity conditioning regimen. We hypothesized that addition of 200cGy total body irradiation (TBI) to Flu-Mel140 may improve antitumor activity and transplant outcomes. Primary objectives was overall survival (OS) at 3 years. Secondary objectives were to assess the cumulative incidences of acute and chronic GVHD, relapse-free survival (RFS), relapse rate, and nonrelapse mortality (NRM). We retrospectively evaluated outcomes of patients receiving Flu-Mel140-TBI followed by HLA-matched donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) using peripheral blood stem cells. Eighty-one patients (median age, 58 years) underwent alloSCT between January 2008 and December 2018. Thirty-one percent of patients had a prior transplant, 32% had high or very-high disease risk index, and the donor was unrelated in 70% of patients. Grade 3 to 4 regimen-related toxicities were mucositis (37%), cardiac toxicity (17%), and renal toxicity (10%). The cumulative incidence of grade III to IV acute GVHD at day +100 was 24.7% and chronic GVHD at 1 year was 51.3%. Median follow-up for survival was 6.1 years. At 3 years, OS was 39.81%, RFS was 31.47%, and relapse rate was 30.5%. One-year NRM was 29.9%. Patients undergoing first transplantation experienced improved OS compared with second or beyond (63.08% versus 42.31%, P = .02). After adjusting for disease subtypes, age (≤55 versus 55), comorbidity index (CI), number of transplant and GVHD prophylaxis, multivariable analysis did not demonstrate any survival difference among disease subtypes. High CI (≥3) was predictive of adverse OS and NRM, whereas older age (>55 years) was associated with high NRM. Our study shows that Flu-Mel140-TBI seems feasible and provides durable disease control. Addition of TBI did not appear to improve outcomes compared to previously published reports of Flu-Mel140. Considerable NRM could result from the inclusion of patients with older age and prior transplants.

A head-to-head comparison of outcomes of unrelated donor allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for AML between reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) and myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimens using thymoglobulin for GVHD prophylaxis is limited. We evaluated outcomes of 122 AML patients who received either busulfan (Bu)/fludarabine (Flu)/low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) as RIC (n = 64, 52%) or Bu/Flu as MAC (n = 58, 48%), and thymoglobulin 4.5 mg/kg total dose between day - 3 to - 1 for GVHD prophylaxis. Grades III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) was lower with Bu/Flu/TBI compared with Bu/Flu (6.2% vs 26.1%, p = 0.009). At 1 year, Bu/Flu/TBI was associated with similar chronic GVHD (41.2% vs 44.8%, p = 0.75), OS (61.9% vs 56.9%, p = 0.69), relapse rate (29.9% vs 20.7%, p = 0.24), relapse-free survival (52.8% vs 50%, p = 0.80), non-relapse mortality (17.4% vs 29.3%, p = 0.41), and GVHD-free relapse-free survival (24.2% vs 27.5%, p = 0.80) compared with Bu/Flu. Multivariable analysis did not reveal any difference in outcomes between both regimens. In summary, thymoglobulin at 4.5 mg/kg did not have any adverse impact on survival when used with RIC regimen. Both Bu/Flu/TBI and Bu/Flu conditioning regimens yielded similar survival.

The information on the impact of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) on haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (haploPBSCT) outcomes is limited. We retrospectively evaluated 98 patients who underwent haploPBSCT between June 2012 and June 2019 for the onset and severity of CRS per the ASTCT guidelines. The incidence of CRS was 93% (91/98). Outcomes were compared between grade 1-2 and 3-4 CRS. Eighty-one patients developed grade 1-2 CRS (89%) and 10 (11%) developed grade 3-4 CRS. Compared to grade 1-2 CRS, grade 3-4 CRS experienced adverse survival (73.7% vs. 30%, p<.001), inferior relapse-free survival (64.0% vs. 20%, p<.001), and higher non-relapse mortality (NRM) (16.4% vs. 60%, p<.001) at 1-year. Propensity score-based multivariable analyses revealed worse survival (HR 2.71, p=.04), and higher NRM (SHR 4.51, p=.006) with grade 3-4 CRS. Our study shows that grade 3-4 CRS was adversely associated with survival. Therefore, early identification and preventive strategies are warranted.

Limited information is available on the impact of intensity of conditioning regimens in haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplant (haploPBSCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTcy). We retrospectively compared outcomes of haplo-PBSCT between myeloablative (MAC) (n = 24) and reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens (n = 65). Propensity score-based multivariable analyses were performed to adjust confounding effects of baseline characteristics between both groups. Eighty-nine patients underwent haplo-PBSCT between January 2012 and June 2019. For MAC and RIC, the cumulative incidences of grade III--IV acute GVHD were 4.2% and 3.1%, respectively (p = 0.92), and chronic GVHD were 18.9% and 36.5%, respectively (p = 0.08). Median follow-up for overall survival (OS) after MAC and RIC was 1.86 and 2.2 years, respectively. For MAC and RIC, one-year OS was 68.8% and 67.4%, respectively (p = 0.85); one-year relapse rate was 22.4% and 18.3%, respectively (p = 0.74); one-year relapse-free survival (RFS) was 56% and 59.7%, respectively (p = 0.87); and one-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 22% and 21.9%, respectively (p = 0.58). Using propensity score-based multivariable analyses, no difference in OS (HR 0.72, p = 0.51), relapse (SHR 0.63, p = 0.42), RFS (HR 0.74, p = 0.49) and NRM (SHR 1.11, p = 0.87) was noted between RIC and MAC. Our study shows no difference in outcomes between MAC and RIC regimens in haplo-PBSCT.
