RESUMO
Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is a commonly used treatment in multiple myeloma (MM). However, real-world global demographic and outcome data are scarce. We collected data on baseline characteristics and outcomes from 61 725 patients with newly diagnosed MM who underwent upfront AHCT between 2013 and 2017 from nine national/international registries. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), relapse incidence (RI) and non-relapse mortality (NRM). Median OS amounted to 90.2 months (95% CI 88.2-93.6) and median PFS 36.5 months (95% CI 36.1-37.0). At 24 months, cumulative RI was 33% (95% CI 32.5%-33.4%) and NRM was 2.5% (95% CI 2.3%-2.6%). In the multivariate analysis, superior outcomes were associated with younger age, IgG subtype, complete hematological response at auto-HCT, Karnofsky score of 100%, international staging scoring (ISS) stage 1, HCT-comorbidity index (CI) 0, standard cytogenetic risk, auto-HCT in recent years, and use of lenalidomide maintenance. There were differences in the baseline characteristics and outcomes between registries. While the NRM was 1%-3% at 12 months worldwide, the OS at 36 months was 69%-84%, RI at 12 months was 12%-24% and PFS at 36 months was 43%-63%. The variability in these outcomes is attributable to differences in patient and disease characteristics as well as the use of maintenance and macroeconomic factors. In conclusion, worldwide data indicate that AHCT in MM is a safe and effective therapy with an NRM of 1%-3% with considerable regional differences in OS, PFS, RI, and patient characteristics. Maintenance treatment post-AHCT had a beneficial effect on OS.
RESUMO
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) was developed more than 65 years ago to treat malignant blood disorders and irreversible bone marrow failures, with the aim of replacing a diseased hematopoietic system with a healthy one (allogeneic HCT). Decades later, the procedure was adapted to apply maximal chemotherapy or radiotherapy, which would result in bone marrow failure, but could be remedied by an infusion of a patient's own cryopreserved bone marrow (autologous HCT). Both treatments are high-risk and complex, especially during the initial phases. However, concerted efforts, vision, and collaboration between physicians and centers worldwide have resulted in HCT becoming a standard of care for many hematological disorders with progressive improvements in outcomes. Registries and the collaboration of societies worldwide have enabled the delivery of this curative therapy to many patients with fatal hematological diseases. More than 1.5 million HCT were performed between 1957 and 2019, and activity is continuously increasing worldwide.

BACKGROUND: Pacritinib is a JAK2/IRAK1/ACVR1 inhibitor that is approved in the United States for the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis who have a platelet count < 50 × 109/L. Phase 3 clinical studies of pacritinib included patients across a wide range of baseline platelet and hemoglobin levels. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In order to assess the impact of baseline blood counts on pacritinib efficacy, an analysis of efficacy outcomes by baseline platelet and hemoglobin levels was performed using data pooled from 2 Phase 3 studies of pacritinib in patients with MF (PERSIST-1 and PERSIST-2). RESULTS: Of 276 patients evaluable for spleen response, spleen volume reduction occurred consistently across platelet subgroups (< 100 × 109/L or ≥ 100 × 109/L) and hemoglobin subgroups (< 8 g/dL, ≥ 8 to < 10 g/dL, or > 10 g/dL), with no diminution in treatment effect in patients with severe thrombocytopenia or anemia. Among 159 patients evaluable for symptoms response, improvement in total symptom score (TTS) was similar across platelet subgroups. A ≥ 50% improvement of TSS occurred more frequently in patients with baseline hemoglobin < 8 g/dL compared with those with baseline hemoglobin ≥ 8 to < 10 g/dL or > 10 g/dL. Patients with baseline hemoglobin < 8 g/dL also experienced improved hemoglobin sustained over 24 weeks, whereas subgroups with less severe anemia had stable hemoglobin levels over time. Symptom improvement as assessed using the Patient Global Impression of Change instrument was generally consistent across platelet and hemoglobin subgroups. CONCLUSION: Pacritinib demonstrates consistent efficacy in patients with MF regardless of baseline platelet and hemoglobin counts.
RESUMO
Prospective randomized trials have reported a benefit for anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)-based graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in the setting of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) with unrelated donors (UD). However, the optimal GvHD prophylaxis strategy has been recently challenged by the increasing use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY). We report from the EBMT registry the outcomes of 960 patients with myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) undergoing allo-HSCT from UD with PTCY or ATG as GvHD prophylaxis. Primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Disease characteristics were similar in both groups. Day 28 neutrophil engraftment was significantly better with ATG (93% vs 85%, p<0.001). With a median follow-up of 4.4 years (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.2 - 4.8), 5-year OS was 58% (95% CI 50-65) with PTCY and 49% (95% CI 46-53%) in the ATG group, p=0.07. 5-year PFS was higher for PTCY with 53% (95% CI 45-60) vs 44% (95% CI 40-48) for ATG, p=0.043. Grade II-IV aGvHD incidence was lower using PTCY (23% [95% CI 17-29%] vs 30% [95% CI 27-33%]), p=0.044 while there was no difference in incidence of cGvHD at 5 years. Multivariable analyses confirmed better OS and PFS with PTCY, with a HR for ATG of 1.32 (1 - 1.74), p=0.05, and a better PFS for PTCY with a HR for ATG of 1.33 (1.03 - 1.73), p=0.03. This study suggests that GvHD prophylaxis using PTCY instead of ATG in this setting remains a valid option. Further prospective randomized studies would be essential to confirm these results.
RESUMO
Promoting access to and excellence in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) by collecting and disseminating data on global HCT activities is one of the principal activities of the Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, a non-Governmental organization in working relations with the World Health Organization. HCT activities are recorded annually by member societies, national registries and individual centers including indication, donor type (allogeneic/autologous), donor match and stem cell source (bone marrow/peripheral blood stem cells/cord blood). In 2018, 1,768 HCT teams in 89 countries (six WHO regions) reported 93,105 (48,680 autologous and 44,425 allogeneic) HCT. Major indications were plasma cell disorders and lymphoma for autologous, and acute leukemias and MDS/MPN for allogeneic HCT. HCT number increased from 48,709 in 2007. Notable increases were seen for autoimmune diseases in autologous and hemoglobinopathies in allogeneic HCT. The number of allogeneic HCT more than doubled with significant changes in donor match. While HCT from HLA identical siblings has seen only limited growth, HCT from non-identical related donors showed significant increase worldwide. Strongest correlation between economic growth indicator of gross national income/capita and HCT activity/ten million population was observed for autologous HCT (r=0.79). HCT from unrelated donors showed strong correlation (r=0.68), but only moderate correlation (r=0.51) was detected from related donors. The use of HCT doubled in about a decade worldwide at different speed and with significant changes regarding donor match as a sign of improved access to HCT worldwide. Although narrowing, significant gaps remain between developing and non-developing countries.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT: In patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), higher revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) scores at transplant are associated with worse transplant outcome and, thus, lowering IPSS-R scores by therapeutic intervention before transplantation may seem beneficial. However, there is no evidence, to date, to support this approach. In a retrospective analysis, a total of 1482 patients with MDS with sufficient data to calculate IPSS-R score at diagnosis and at time of transplantation were selected from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation transplant registry and analyzed for transplant outcome in a multivariable Cox model including IPSS-R score at diagnosis, treatment intervention, change in IPSS-R score before transplant, and several patient and transplant variables. Transplant outcome was unaffected by IPSS-R score change in untreated patients and moderately superior in patients treated with chemotherapy with improved IPSS-R score at transplant. Improved IPSS-R score after hypomethylating agents (HMAs) or other therapies showed no beneficial effect. However, when IPSS-R score progressed after chemotherapy, HMAs, or other therapies, transplant outcome was worse than without any prior treatment. Similar results were found when reduction or increase in bone marrow (BM) blasts between diagnosis and transplantation was considered. The results show a limited benefit of IPSS-R score downstaging or reduction of BM blasts after chemotherapy and no benefit for HMAs or other treatments and thus question the role of prior therapy in patients with MDS scheduled for transplantation. The model-based survival estimates should help inform decision-making for both doctors and patients.

Short-term outcome of myeloablative (MAC) and reduced intensity (RIC) conditioning in the prospective randomized international EBMT RICMAC study in patients with myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS) was comparable but longer follow up is lacking. Patients with MDS aged 18-65 years were randomized to receive MAC (N = 64) with busulfan/cyclophosphamide or RIC (n = 65) with busulfan/fludarabine followed by stem cell transplantation -(HCT) from HLA matched or mismatched donor. After a median follow-up of 6.2 (0.4-12.5) years, 10-year OS and RFS were 54.0% and 43.9% for RIC and 44.4% and 44.2% for MAC (p = 0.15 and p = 0.78), respectively. Since the first report, 6 patients died on NRM, 4 after RIC, and 2 after MAC. Similarly, 8 patients relapsed (4 in each arm), increasing the number of relapsed patients to 28. The second HCT was performed in 18 pts, 8 in the MAC, and 10 in the RIC arm. In a multivariate analysis, ECOG status and chemotherapy prior to HCT were independent risk factors for OS and RFS, ECOG and low cytogenetic risk for NRM and chemotherapy prior to HCT for RI. Patients with low cytogenetic risk had better OS [p = 0.002], RFS [p = 0.02], and NRM (p = 0.015) after RIC as compared to MAC.

Allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains an option for tyrosine kinase inhibitor-resistant chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in first chronic phase (CP1) and high-risk patients with advanced disease phases. In this European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) registry-based study of 1686 CML patients undergoing first allo-HCT between 2012 and 2019, outcomes were evaluated according to donor type, particularly focusing on mismatched related donors (MMRDs). Median age at allo-HCT was 46 years (IQR 36-55). Disease status was CP1 in 43%, second CP (CP2) or later in 27%, accelerated phase in 12% and blast crisis in 18%. Donor type was matched related (MRD) in 39.2%, MMRD in 8.1%, matched unrelated (MUD) in 40.2%, and mismatched unrelated (MMUD) in 12.6%. In 4 years, overall survival (OS) for MRD, MMRD, MUD and MMUD was 61%, 56%, 63% and 59% (p = 0.21); relapse-free survival (RFS) was 48%, 42%, 52% and 46% (p = 0.03); cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was 33%, 37%, 27% and 30% (p = 0.07); non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 19%, 21%, 21% and 24% (p = 0.21); and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD)-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS) was 16%, 18%, 22% and 15% (p = 0.05) respectively. On multivariate analysis, MMRD use associated with longer engraftment times and higher risk of graft failure compared to MRD or MUD. There was no statistical evidence that MMRD use associated with different OS, RFS and incidence of GvHD compared to other donor types.

We aimed to compare outcomes following treosulfan (TREO) or busulfan (BU) conditioning in a large cohort of myelofibrosis (MF) patients from the EBMT registry. A total of 530 patients were included; 73 received TREO and 457 BU (BU ≤ 6.4 mg/kg in 134, considered RIC, BU > 6.4 mg/kg in 323 considered higher dose (HD)). Groups were compared using adjusted Cox models. Cumulative incidences of engraftment and acute GVHD were similar across the 3 groups. The TREO group had significantly better OS than BU-HD (HR:0.61, 95% CI: 0.39-0.93) and a trend towards better OS over BU-RIC (HR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.41-1.05). Moreover, the TREO cohort had a significantly better Progression-Free-Survival (PFS) than both the BU-HD (HR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.38-0.84) and BU-RIC (HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.39-0.91) cohorts, which had similar PFS estimates. Non-relapse mortality (NRM) was reduced in the TREO and BU-RIC cohorts (HR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.24-0.80 TREO vs BU-HD; HR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.28-1.04 TREO vs BU-RIC). Of note, relapse risk did not significantly differ across the three groups. In summary, within the limits of a registry-based study, TREO conditioning may improve PFS in MF HSCT and have lower NRM than BU-HD with a similar relapse risk to BU-RIC. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Management of Richter transformation (RT) is particularly challenging, with survival estimates <1 year. We report on outcomes of 66 RT patients undergoing allogeneic-HCT (allo-HCT) between 2008 and 2018 registered with the EBMT. Median age at allo-HCT was 56.2 years (interquartile range (IQR), 51.3-63.1). Median time from RT to allo-HCT was 6.9 months (IQR, 4.9-11) and 28 (42.4%) were in complete remission (CR). The majority underwent reduced intensity conditioning (66.2%) using peripheral blood derived stem cells. Eighteen (27.3%) patients had a matched sibling donor, 24 (36.4%) a matched unrelated donor and the remaining were mismatched. Median follow-up was 6.6 years; 1- and 3- year overall and progression free survival (PFS) (95% CI) was 65% (54-77) and 39% (27-51) and 53% (41-65) and 29% (18-40), respectively. Patients in CR at time of allo-HCT had significantly better 3-year PFS (39% vs. 21%, p = 0.032). Cumulative incidences of grade II-IV acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) at day +100 was 41% (95% CI 29-53) and chronic GVHD at 3 years was 53% (95% CI 41-65). High rates of non-relapse mortality (NRM) were observed; 38% (95% CI, 26-50) at 3 years. Although potentially curative, approaches to reduce considerable NRM and chronic GVHD rates are required.

Systemic Mastocytosis (SM) is a multifaceted clinically heterogeneous disease. Advanced SM (AdvSM) comprises three entities: aggressive SM (ASM), mast cell leukaemia (MCL) and SM with an associated hematologic neoplasm (SM-AHN), the latter accounting for 60-70% of all AdvSM cases. Detection of a disease-triggering mutation in the KIT gene (esp. KIT D816V) in >90% of the patients with ASM or SM-AHN has led to a significant improvement in therapeutic options by the implementation of two KIT-targeting kinase inhibitors: midostaurin and avapritinib. Although complete remissions have been reported, neither of these targeted agents is 'curative' in all patients and the duration of responses varies. The median overall survival, depending on the WHO subtype and scoring result, is approximately 1 to 4 years. Although the European Competence Network on Mastocytosis (ECNM) and American Initiative in Mast Cell Diseases (AIM) consensus groups recommend allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in drug-resistant and other high-risk patients, there is a relative lack of information to guide clinicians on which patients with AdvSM should be considered for transplant, and how KIT inhibitors may fit into the transplant algorithm, including their use pre- and post-transplant to optimise outcomes. Following the generation of an expert panel with a specialist interest in allo-HCT and mastocytosis, these best practice recommendations were generated according to the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Practice Harmonisation and guidelines and ECNM methodology. We aim to provide a practical, clinically relevant and up-to-date framework to guide allo-HCT in AdvsM in 2024 and beyond.

In 2022, 46,143 HCT (19,011 (41.2%) allogeneic and 27,132 (58.8%) autologous) in 41,854 patients were reported by 689 European centers. 4329 patients received advanced cellular therapies, 3205 of which were CAR-T. An additional 2854 patients received DLI. Changes compared to the previous year were an increase in CAR-T treatments (+27%) and decrease in allogeneic (-4.0%) and autologous HCT (-1.7%). Main indications for allogeneic HCT were myeloid malignancies (10,433; 58.4%), lymphoid malignancies (4,674; 26.2%) and non-malignant disorders (2572; 14.4%). Main indications for autologous HCT were lymphomas (7897; 32.9%), PCD (13,694; 57.1%) and solid tumors (1593; 6.6%). In allogeneic HCT, use of sibling donors decreased by -7.7%, haploidentical donors by -6.3% and unrelated donors by -0.9%. Overall cord blood HCT decreased by -16.0%. Use of allogeneic, and to a lesser degree autologous HCT, decreased for lymphoid malignancies likely reflecting availability of new treatment modalities, including small molecules, bispecific antibodies, and CAR-T cells. Pediatric HCT activity remains stable (+0.3%) with differences between allogeneic and autologous HCT. Use of CAR-T continues to increase and reached a cumulative total of 9039 patients treated with wide differences across European countries. After many years of continuous growth, increase in application of HCT seems to have slowed down.

Bone marrow fibrosis (BMF) is a pathological feature of myelofibrosis, with higher grades associated with poor prognosis. Limited data exist on the association between outcomes and BMF changes. We present BMF data from Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor-naive patients from SIMPLIFY-1 (NCT01969838), a double-blind, randomized, phase 3 study of momelotinib vs ruxolitinib. Baseline and week 24 bone marrow biopsies were graded from 0 to 3 as per World Health Organization criteria. Other assessments included Total Symptom Score, spleen volume, transfusion independence status, and hemoglobin levels. Paired samples were available from 144 and 160 patients randomized to momelotinib and ruxolitinib. With momelotinib and ruxolitinib, transfusion independence was achieved by 87% and 44% of patients with BMF improvement of ≥1 grade and 76% and 56% of those with stable/worsening BMF; there was no association between BMF changes and transfusion independence for either arm (momelotinib, p = .350; ruxolitinib, p = .096). Regardless of BMF changes, hemoglobin levels also generally increased on momelotinib but decreased on ruxolitinib. In addition, no associations between BMF changes and spleen (momelotinib, p = .126; ruxolitinib, p = .407)/symptom (momelotinib, p = .617; ruxolitinib, p = .833) outcomes were noted, and no improvement in overall survival was observed with ≥1-grade BMF improvement (momelotinib, p = .395; ruxolitinib, p = .407). These data suggest that the anemia benefit of momelotinib is not linked to BMF changes, and question the use of BMF assessment as a surrogate marker for clinical benefit with JAK inhibitors.
RESUMO
A randomized study (acronym: MC-FludT.14/L Trial II) demonstrated that fludarabine plus treosulfan (30 g/m²) was an effective and well tolerated conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). To further evaluate this regimen, all 252 study patients aged 50 to 70 years were compared with similar patients, who underwent allo-HCT after fludarabine/melphalan (140 mg/m²) (FluMel) or busulfan (12.8 mg/kg)/cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) (BuCy) regimens and whose data was provided by the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation registry. In 1:1 propensity-score matched-paired analysis (PSA) of AML patients, there was no difference in 2-year-relapse-incidence after FluTreo compared with either FluMel (n = 110, p = 0.28) or BuCy (n = 78, p = 0.98). However, 2-year-non-relapse-mortality (NRM) was lower compared with FluMel (p = 0.019) and BuCy (p < 0.001). Consequently, 2-year-overall-survival (OS) after FluTreo was higher compared with FluMel (p = 0.04) and BuCy (p < 0.001). For MDS patients, no endpoint differences between FluTreo and FluMel (n = 30) were evident, whereas 2-year-OS after FluTreo was higher compared with BuCy (n = 25, p = 0.01) due to lower 2-year-NRM. Multivariate sensitivity analysis confirmed all significant results of PSA. Consequently, FluTreo (30 g/m²) seems to retain efficacy compared with FluMel and BuCy, but is better tolerated by older patients.

We retrospectively compared outcomes of 404 MDS patients undergoing 1st matched sibling donor allo-HCT receiving either PTCy-based (n = 66) or other "conventional prophylaxis" (n = 338; mostly calcineurin inhibitor + methotrexate or MMF). Baseline characteristics were balanced, except for higher use of myeloablative regimens in the PTCy group (52.3% vs. 38.2%, p = 0.047). Incidences of neutrophil (Day +28: 89% vs. 97%, p = 0.011) and platelet (Day +100: 89% vs. 97%, p < 0.001) engraftment were lower for PTCy-based. Day +100 cumulative incidences of grade II-IV and III-IV aGVHD, and 5-year CI of extensive cGVHD were 32%, 18% and 18% for PTCy-based and 25% (p = 0.3), 13% (p = 0.4) and 31% (p = 0.09) for the conventional cohort. Five-year OS (51% vs. 52%, p = 0.6) and GRFS (33% vs. 25%, p = 0.6) were similar between groups. Patients receiving PTCy had a trend to a lower cumulative incidence of relapse (20% vs. 33%, p = 0.06), not confirmed on multivariable analysis (p = 0.3). Although higher NRM rates were observed in patients receiving PTCy (32% vs. 21%, p = 0.02) on univariate analysis, this was not confirmed on multivariate analysis (HR 1.46, p = 0.18), and there was no resultant effect on OS (HR 1.20, p = 0.5). Based on these data, PTCy prophylaxis appears to be an attractive option for patients with MDS undergoing MSD allo-HCT.

Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN), either myelodysplastic neoplasms (t-MDS) or acute myeloid leukemias (t-AML), have a poor prognosis and allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) represents the only curative option. In this multicenter, registry-based study, we analyzed outcomes of 378 patients undergoing first allo-HCT between 2006-2017 for t-MN arising secondary to lymphoma treatment. Median age was 58 years at allo-HCT; 222 (59%) had a diagnosis of t-MDS and 156 (41%) of t-AML, respectively. At the time of allo-HCT, 46% of t-MN cases were reported as in complete remission (CR) and 15% of lymphomas were recorded as not in remission. A reduced intensity conditioning regimen was used in 70% of cases. For the entire cohort, 5-year OS, and t-MN PFS, relapse incidence and NRM were 32%, 28%, 35% and 37%, respectively. In multivariable analysis, undergoing allo-HCT with t-MN not in CR and older age were associated with significantly worse OS, PFS and NRM. At 5 years post allo-HCT, the relapse incidence of lymphoma was low at 3%, while the rate of secondary malignancies was 8%. This analysis shows the curative potential of allo-HCT for patients with t-MN arising secondary to lymphoma treatment in approximately a third of patients.

Aplastic anemia (AA) is the prototypical bone marrow failure syndrome. In the current era of readily available 'molecular annotation', application of comprehensive next-generation sequencing panels has generated novel insights into underlying pathogenetic mechanisms, potentially leading to improvements in personalized therapeutic approaches. New evidence has emerged as to the role of somatic loss of HLA class I allele expression in 'immune-mediated' AA, associated molecular aberrations, and risk of clonal evolution. A deeper understanding has emerged regarding the role of 'myeloid' gene mutations in this context, translating patho-mechanistic insights derived from wider clinical and translational research within the myeloid disorder arena. Here, we review contemporary 'tools' which aid in confirmation of a diagnosis of AA, with an additional focus on their potential in guiding therapeutic options. A specific emphasis is placed upon interpretation and integration of this detailed diagnostic information and how this may inform optimal transplantation strategies.
