RESUMO

BCR::ABL1 fusion is found in < 1% of de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases and confers a poor prognosis. This Japanese nationwide survey analyzed patients with AML (n = 22) and mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) (n = 10) with t(9;22) or BCR::ABL1 who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) between 2002 and 2018. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were 81.3% and 56.0%, respectively (p = 0.15), and leukemia-free survival (LFS) rates were 76.2% and 42.0%, respectively (p = 0.10) in patients with AML and MPAL. The relapse rates were 9.5% and 14.0% (p = 0.93), and the non-relapse mortality (NRM) rates were 14.3% and 44.0%, respectively (p = 0.10) in patients with AML and MPAL. One in 17 patients with AML, with pre-transplant tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), and three in five patients with AML, without pre-transplant TKI, did not achieve complete remission (CR) before allo-HCT (p = 0.024). Among the 20 patients with known disease status after allo-HCT, 95.0% were in hematological or molecular CR. None of the four patients who received post-transplant TKI for prophylaxis or measurable residual disease relapse experienced hematological relapse. In conclusion, our results suggest that pre-transplant TKI could improve disease status before allo-HCT. Moreover, allo-HCT resulted in high OS, high LFS, low relapse, and low NRM rates in patients with AML with BCR::ABL1.

RESUMO

We retrospectively evaluated long-term outcomes of high dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (HDC/ASCT) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Between 2004 and 2020, 46 DLBCL patients received HDC/ASCT in our institution, including 12 patients (26.1%), who received as an upfront setting (UFS). At a median follow-up time of 69 months (range, 2-169 months), the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 82.5% (95%CI, 46.1-95.3%) in the UFS, and 57.8% (95%CI, 38.1-73.2%) in the relapsed or refractory (R/R) patients (n=34), respectively. The 5-year PFS rates were 62.3% (95%CI, 34.0-81.3%) in primary resistant (n=13) or early relapsing (within 1 year from the initial diagnosis) patients (n=4), and 53.3% (95%CI, 25.9-74.6%) in those relapsing >1 year after the initial diagnosis (n=17), with no statistically significant difference (p=0.498). In R/R patients, multivariate analysis showed that the remission status before HDC/ASCT was an independent poor prognostic factor for progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR], 17.0; 95%CI, 3.35-86.6; p=0.000630) and high-risk category in the international prognostic index for OS (HR, 9.39; 95%CI, 1.71-51.6; p=0.0100). The incidence of non-relapse mortality by 5 years, and 10 years were 12.2%, and 15.2%, respectively. Eleven patients (23.9%) developed second malignancies, which was the most frequent late complication after HDC/ASCT, with 5-year, and 10-year cumulative incidence of 16.9%, 22.5%, respectively. In conclusion, HDC/ASCT is effective for chemo-sensitive R/R DLBCL regardless of the timing and lines of therapy. However, careful observation is required, considering the long-term complications such as secondary malignancies.

RESUMO

For successful chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, CAR-T cells must be manufactured without failure caused by suboptimal expansion. In order to determine risk factors for CAR-T cell manufacturing failure, we performed a nationwide cohort study in Japan and analysed patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who underwent tisagenlecleucel production. We compared clinical factors between 30 cases that failed (7.4%) with those that succeeded (n = 378). Among the failures, the proportion of patients previously treated with bendamustine (43.3% vs. 14.8%; p < 0.001) was significantly higher, and their platelet counts (12.0 vs. 17.0 × 104 /µL; p = 0.01) and CD4/CD8 T-cell ratio (0.30 vs. 0.56; p < 0.01) in peripheral blood at apheresis were significantly lower than in the successful group. Multivariate analysis revealed that repeated bendamustine use with short washout periods prior to apheresis (odds ratio [OR], 5.52; p = 0.013 for ≥6 cycles with washout period of 3-24 months; OR, 57.09; p = 0.005 for ≥3 cycles with washout period of <3 months), low platelet counts (OR, 0.495 per 105 /µL; p = 0.022) or low CD4/CD8 ratios (

RESUMO

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) offers a possible cure for patients with relapsed and refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) through potentially beneficial graft versus lymphoma effects. However, allogeneic HCT is associated with high nonrelapse mortality (NRM). Fludarabine with reduced-intensity busulfan (Flu/Bu2) and myeloablative busulfan (Flu/Bu4) are commonly used in conditioning regimens for allogeneic HCT; however, data on their use in patients with NHL is limited. We investigated the effect of busulfan dose on outcomes by comparing Flu/Bu2 and Flu/Bu4 in patients with NHL who underwent allogeneic HCT. Our study included 415 adult patients with NHL who received Flu/Bu2 (315 patients) or Flu/Bu4 (100 patients) between January 2008 and December 2019. All patients were enrolled in the Transplant Registry Unified Management Program 2 of the Japanese Data Center for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation. The primary endpoint was the 5-year overall survival (OS). To minimize potential confounding factors that may influence outcomes, we performed propensity score matching. The 5-year OS was 50.6% (95% confidence interval (CI), 39.4%-60.8%) and 32.2% (95% CI, 22.4-42.4%) in the Flu/Bu2 and Flu/Bu4 groups, respectively (p = 0.006). The hazard ratio comparing the two groups was 2.13 (95% CI, 1.30-3.50; p = 0.003). Both groups had a similar 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse (38.2% vs 41.3%; p = 0.581), and the Flu/Bu4 group had a higher cumulative incidence of 5-year NRM (15.7% vs 31.9%; p = 0.043). In this study, Flu/Bu4 was associated with worse OS compared with Flu/Bu2 because of high NRM in patients with NHL.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AIMS: In allogeneic stem cell transplantation, unrelated donors are chosen in cases where appropriate related donors are not available. Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are more often selected as a graft source than bone marrow (BM). However, the prognostic benefits of PBSCs versus BM transplants from unrelated donors have not been carefully examined in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study compared outcomes of adult AML patients who underwent unrelated PBSC and BM transplantation, evaluating post-transplant complications, including engraftment, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and infections, and determined subgroups of patients who are most likely to benefit from unrelated PBSCs compared with BM transplants. METHODS: The authors analyzed 2962 adult AML patients who underwent unrelated PBSC or BM transplants between 2011 and 2018 (221 PBSC and 2741 BM) using the Japanese nationwide registry database, in which graft source selection is not skewed toward PBSCs. RESULTS: In 49.7% of patients, disease status at transplantation was first complete remission (CR1). In 57.1% of cases, HLA-matched donors were selected. Myeloablative conditioning was performed in 75.1% of cases, and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) was added to conditioning in 10.5%. Multivariate analyses showed a trend toward favorable non-relapse mortality (NRM) in PBSC recipients compared with BM recipients (hazard ratio [HR], 0.731, P = 0.096), whereas overall survival (OS) (HR, 0.959, P = 0.230) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR, 0.868, P = 0.221) were comparable between PBSC and BM recipients. Although the rate of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was significantly higher in PBSC patients (HR, 1.367, P = 0.016), NRM was not increased, mainly as a result of significantly reduced risk of bacterial infections (HR, 0.618, P = 0.010), reflecting more prompt engraftments in PBSC recipients. Subgroup analyses revealed that PBSC transplantation was advantageous in patients transplanted at CR1 and in those without ATG use. PBSC recipients experienced significantly better OS and/or DFS compared with BM recipients in this patient group. CONCLUSIONS: The authors' results confirmed the overall safety of unrelated PBSC transplantation for adult AML patients and suggested an advantage of PBSCs, especially for those in CR1. Further optimization of the prophylactic strategy for cGVHD is required to improve the overall outcome in transplantation from unrelated PBSC donors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AIMS: An intensified conditioning regimen incorporating medium-dose etoposide (VP16) is an option for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, the prognostic impacts of the addition of VP16 to cyclophosphamide (CY) and total body irradiation (TBI) in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) ALL with regard to minimal residual disease (MRD) status have not been elucidated. METHODS: The authors retrospectively compared the outcomes of patients with Ph+ ALL who underwent allogeneic transplantation following VP16/CY/TBI (n = 101) and CY/TBI (n = 563). RESULTS: At 4 years, the VP16/CY/TBI group exhibited significantly better disease-free survival (DFS) (72.6% versus 61.7%, P = 0.027) and relapse rate (11.5% versus 21.1%, P = 0.020) and similar non-relapse mortality (16.0% versus 17.2%, P = 0.70). In subgroup analyses, the beneficial effects of the addition of VP16 on DFS were more evident in patients with positive MRD status (71.2% versus 48.4% at 4 years, P = 0.022) than those with negative MRD status (72.8% versus 66.7% at 4 years, P = 0.24). Although MRD positivity was significantly associated with worse DFS in patients who received CY/TBI (48.4% versus 66.7%, P < 0.001), this was not the case in those who received VP16/CY/TBI (71.2% versus 72.8%, P = 0.86). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the benefits of the addition of VP16 in Ph+ ALL patients, especially those with positive MRD status. VP16/CY/TBI could be a potential strategy to overcome the survival risk of MRD positivity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The standard cryoprotectant for human cellular products is dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which is associated with hematopoietic cell infusion-related adverse events (HCI-AEs) in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation including peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation (PBSCT). DMSO is often used with hydroxyethyl starch (HES), which reduces DMSO concentration while maintaining the postthaw cell recovery. The cryoprotectant medium CP-1 (Kyokuto Pharmaceutical Industrial) is widely used in Japan. After mixture of a product with CP-1, DMSO and HES concentrations are 5% and 6%, respectively. However, the safety profile of CP-1 in association with HCI-AEs has not been investigated. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: To compare CP-1 with other cryoprotectants, we conducted a subgroup analysis of PBSCT recipients in a prospective surveillance study for HCI-AEs. Moreover, we validated the toxicity of CP-1 in 90 rats following various dose administration. RESULTS: The PBSC products cryopreserved with CP-1 (CP-1 group) and those with other cryoprotectants, mainly 10% DMSO (non-CP-1 group), were infused into 418 and 58 recipients, respectively. The rate of ≥grade 2 HCI-AEs was higher in the CP-1 group, but that of overall or ≥grade 3 HCI-AEs was not significantly different, compared to the non-CP-1 group. Similarly, after propensity score matching, ≥grade 2 HCI-AEs were more frequent in the CP-1 group, but the ≥grade 3 HCI-AE rate did not differ significantly between the groups. No significant toxicity was detected regardless of the CP-1 dose in the 90 rats. CONCLUSIONS: Infusion of a CP-1-containing PBSC product is feasible with the respect of HCI-AEs.

RESUMO

We previously reported that a novel haemoglobin-platelet index (HPI) based on anaemia and thrombocytopenia was useful to predict the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (DLBCL NOS). Here, we analyse the utility of HPI in a new validation cohort with DLBCL NOS (n  = 94). As a result, we confirm that HPI was effective for differentiating progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival in this validation cohort. So, we further compare the utility of HPI with previously reported prognostic markers such as the National Comprehensive Center Network-International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI), Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), and platelet-albumin (PA) score, using a larger number of 160 patients consisting of the derivation cohort (n  = 66) and a validation cohort (n  = 94). As a result, the patients with a higher HPI score had significantly worse outcomes, and HPI predicted the prognosis of DLBCL NOS independently of NCCN-IPI. HPI was more sensitive than GPS and almost the same as PA score in predicting PFS. Moreover, the patients whose lymphoma cells were positive for interleukin-6 (IL-6) (75/111 cases) judged by immunohistochemical staining had significantly lower haemoglobin levels and platelet counts than IL-6-negative cases (36/111 cases), suggesting the involvement of IL-6 produced by lymphoma cells in anaemia and thrombocytopenia in DLBCL NOS patients.

RESUMO

Side population (SP) is known to include therapy-resistant cells in various cancers. Here, we analyzed SP using multiple myeloma (MM) samples. The SP accounted for 2.96% in MM cells from newly diagnosed MM (NDMM). CD34 was expressed in 47.8% of SP cells, but only in 2.11% of bulk MM cells. CD34+ MM cells expressed more immature cell surface markers and a gene signature than CD34- MM cells. CD34+ but not CD34- MM cells possessed clonogenic activities and showed long-term self-renewal activities in xenotransplantation assays. Similarly, whereas 2.20% of MM cells were CD34+ in NDMM (n = 38), this proportion increased to 42.6% in minimal residual disease (MRD) samples (n = 16) (p < 0.001) and to 17.7% in refractory/relapsed MM (RRMM) (n = 30) (p < 0.01). Cell cycle analysis showed that 24.7% of CD34+ MM cells from NDMM were in G0 phase while this proportion was 54.9% in MRD (p < 0.05) and 14.5% in RRMM, reflecting the expansion of MM. Together, CD34+ MM cells with long-term self-renewal activities persist as MRD in cell cycle quiescence or remain as therapy-resistant cells in RRMM, substantiating the necessity of targeting this population to improve clinical outcomes of MM.

RESUMO

The role of matching human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes in unrelated allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) remains unclear. Here, we imputed the HLA haplotypes of 3657 patients who received unrelated single HLA allele-mismatched allo-BMT, included from the Transplant Registry Unified Management Program (TRUMP) database, the Japanese registry program for hematopoietic transplantation, using mathematical methods. We successfully imputed the HLA haplotypes of both patients and donors in 1365 cases (37.3%) with ≥90% probability. Of the patients, 1326 (97.1%) and 39 (2.9%) were categorized into one-haplotype-matched and no-haplotype-matched groups, respectively. Disease-free survival was significantly worse in the no-haplotype-matched group. Multivariate analyses revealed that no-haplotype-match was an independent risk factor for reducing disease-free survival (hazard ratio, 1.54 [95% confidence interval: 1.01-2.36]; p = 0.047). However, the overall survival did not significantly differ between the groups. The incidence of grade III-IV acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease did not significantly differ between the groups. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the cumulative incidences of relapse and non-relapse mortality between the groups. Our findings suggest that imputing haplotypes using a mathematical approach can help to avoid transplanting patients with donors who do not share matching haplotypes, thereby improving the outcome of allo-BMT.

RESUMO

Although haploidentical donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is a valid treatment option for relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the incidence and risk factors for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and the efficacy of haploidentical DLI have not been fully evaluated. We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes after haploidentical DLI for 84 patients with AML using a nationwide database and additional questionnaires. The median number of DLI cycles and infused CD3+ cell dose was 1 and 1.0 × 106/kg, respectively. The infused CD3+ cell count of 5.0 × 105/kg or higher was associated with acute GVHD (grade II-IV, 32.1% vs. 10.5%, p = 0.03; grade III-IV, 21.4% vs. 5.3%, p = 0.10). Patients who developed grade III-IV acute GVHD more frequently succumbed to treatment-related mortality (46.7% vs. 15.8% at 1 year, p = 0.002), although the relapse-related mortality was significantly low (40.0% vs. 72.2% at 1 year, p = 0.025). The overall response to DLI was significantly higher in the preemptive DLI group (47.4%) than in the therapeutic group (13.9%, p = 0.002). In the multivariate analysis, preemptive DLI was the predictive factor for overall response (odds ratio, 5.58; p = 0.003). Our results indicated the substantial risk of acute GVHD after haploidentical DLI with CD3+ cell count of 5.0×105/kg or higher and the favorable outcomes after preemptive DLI.

RESUMO

We previously examined the utility of rituximab-bendamustine (RB) in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) exhibiting less than optimal responses to 2 cycles of the R-CHOP chemotherapy regimen. The aim of this study was to identify molecular biomarkers that can predict prognosis in RB-treated patients in the context of the prospective cohort. We first analyzed the mutational status of 410 genes in diagnostic tumor specimens by target capture and Sanger sequencing. CREBBP, KMT2D, MEF2B, BCL2, EZH2, and CARD11 were recurrently mutated as reported before, however none was predictive for progression-free survival (PFS) in the RB-treated patients (n = 34). A gene expression analysis by nCounter including 800 genes associated with carcinogenesis and/or the immune response showed that expression levels of CD8+ T-cell markers and half of the genes regulating Th1 and Th2 responses were significantly lower in progression of disease within the 24-mo (POD24) group (n = 8) than in the no POD24 group (n = 31). Collectively, we selected 10 genes (TBX21, CXCR3, CCR4, CD8A, CD8B, GZMM, FLT3LG, CD3E, EOMES, GZMK), and generated an immune infiltration score (IIS) for predicting PFS using principal component analysis, which dichotomized the RB-treated patients into immune IIShigh (n = 19) and IISlow (n = 20) groups. The 3-y PFS rate was significantly lower in the IISlow group than in the IIShigh group (50.0% [95% CI: 27.1-69.2%] vs. 84.2% [95% CI: 58.7-94.6%], P = .0237). Furthermore, the IIS was correlates with absolute lymphocyte counts at diagnosis (r = 0.460, P = .00355). These results suggest that the T-cell-associated immune markers could be useful to predict prognosis in RB-treated FL patients. (UMIN:000 013 795, jRCT:051 180 181).

RESUMO

Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) decreases chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) in peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT); however, the optimal ATG dose has not been elucidated. We conducted a matched-pair analysis to evaluate whether low-dose ATG could inhibit cGVHD in HLA-matched PBSCT after myeloablative conditioning. A total of 70 patients who were enrolled in the JSCT-ATG15 study, a multicenter phase II clinical trial of 2 mg/kg of ATG (thymoglobulin) given on days -2 and -1, were compared with 210 patients not receiving ATG, who were matched for age, sex, disease, and calcineurin inhibitor selected from the database in Japan. The primary endpoint, cumulative incidence of extensive cGVHD at 2 years was significantly less in the ATG group than that in the non-ATG group (8.7% [95% CI, 3.5%-16.8%] versus 26.2% [95% CI, 20.3%-32.5%], P = .002). ATG significantly reduced the incidence of overall cGVHD and inhibited multiple organ involvement. The ATG group had favorable outcome compared to the non-ATG group in GVHD-free, and relapse-free survival at 2 years. In conclusion, low-dose ATG effectively inhibits chronic GVHD in PBSCT.

RESUMO

Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) has been shown to reduce chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) particularly in allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from unrelated donors; however, anti-GVHD effects of lower doses of ATG remains to be elucidated. We conducted a nationwide retrospective study to compare the outcomes of unrelated PBSCT with or without rabbit ATG (thymoglobulin) in 287 patients. A median ATG dose was 2.0 mg/kg. The primary endpoint, the cumulative incidence of moderate-severe chronic GVHD at 2 years was 22.1% in the ATG group, which was significantly less than that in the non-ATG group (36.3%, P = 0.025). The ATG group had a higher incidence of immunosuppressant discontinuation, GVHD-free, relapse-free survival, and moderate-severe chronic GVHD-free, relapse-free survival at 2 years compared to the non-ATG group. The incidences of grade III-IV aGVHD and moderate-severe chronic GVHD were significantly higher in patients with high absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) before the administration of ATG, whereas relapse rate was significantly higher in patients with low ALC before ATG. In conclusion, low-dose ATG effectively suppresses chronic GVHD in unrelated PBSCT, and ALC before ATG may be a potential predictor for GVHD and relapse.

RESUMO

Fludarabine and a myeloablative dose of busulfan (Flu/Bu4) can improve prognosis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with melphalan (Mel). We investigated the prognostic impact of adding Mel to Flu/Bu4 by comparing between Flu/Bu4/Mel and Flu/Bu4 groups. This study included 846 propensity score (PS)-matched patients who received either Flu/Bu4/Mel (n = 423) or Flu/Bu4 (n = 423) from 2394 patients enrolled in a multicenter prospective registry, from January 2010 to December 2016. The primary endpoint (5-year overall survival [OS]), and the prognostic impact of adding Mel was evaluated using Cox regression analysis. The study population median age was 58 (interquartile 50-64) years and 61.0% were male. Patient characteristics were well-balanced between groups. Five-year OS was 34.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 27.3-41.1%) and 30.1% (24.8-35.6%) in the Flu/Bu4/Mel and Flu/Bu4 groups, respectively (log-rank P = 0.019). The adjusted hazard ratio of adding Mel was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.62-0.96) (P = 0.022) for the 5-year OS, and this attributed to a lower incidence of 5-year relapse (0.71, 0.56-0.90, P = 0.005) and relapse associated mortality (0.73, 0.57-0.95, P = 0.018). There was no statistical difference in 5-year non-relapse mortality between groups (log-rank P = 0.855). Flu/Bu4/Mel was associated with better 5-year OS compared to Flu/Bu4 in a PS-matched cohort after allogeneic HSCT.

RESUMO

Minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring by quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) is the standard of care in Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-positive ALL). We evaluated the impact of MRD status at hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) on relapse, as measured by a unified protocol at a central laboratory. Only patients with Ph-positive ALL who had minor transcripts (e1a2) and who underwent allogeneic HCT in first complete remission between 2008 and 2017 were included. First, patients with negative-MRD (n = 196) and positive-MRD (n = 61) at HCT were analyzed. As expected, MRD positivity at HCT was significantly associated with an increased risk of hematological relapse (hazard ratio [HR], 2.91; 95% CI 1.67-5.08; P < 0.001) in the multivariate analysis. Next, patients with positive-MRD were divided into low-MRD (n = 39) and high-MRD (n = 22) groups. In the multivariate analysis, high-MRD at HCT was not significantly associated with an increased risk of hematological relapse compared to the low-MRD group (HR 1.10; 95% CI 0.54-2.83; P = 0.620). These results indicate that the therapeutic decisions should be made based on MRD positivity, rather than on the MRD level, at HCT.

RESUMO

We report a case with extramedullary tumors affecting the supraclavicular region that presented as a relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with FLT3-ITD mutation after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Treatment with gilteritinib resulted in remarkable response with disappearance of both the medullary and extramedullary tumors. Subsequently, a 2nd allo-HSCT was performed in an attempt to cure his AML and complete molecular response has been sustained with gilteritinib resumption without worsening GVHD. Targeted therapy with gilteritinib for medullary and extramedullary relapse of FLT3-ITD AML could be effective and suitable as a bridging therapy for allo-HSCT.

RESUMO

To date, there are no data focusing on outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms, unclassifiable (MDS/MPN-U). This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with MDS/MPN-U after allo-HSCT using Japanese nationwide registry data. The primary endpoint was 3-year overall survival (OS); secondary endpoints included the cumulative incidence of relapse and nonrelapse mortality (NRM). We evaluated the prognostic factors for 3-year OS by univariate analysis using the log-rank test. In our cohort of 86 patients with MDS/MPN-U, we found a 3-year OS of 48.5%, cumulative incidence of relapse of 23.7%, and NRM of 26.3%. The 3-year OS was significantly worse in patients age ≥50 years compared with those age <50 years (38.1% versus 65.0%; P = .049) and in patients with disease progression compared with those without disease progression (28.4% versus 57.2%; P = .042). Our results suggest that allo-HSCT may offer a curative option for patients with MDS/MPN-U, and that age and disease status could be important indicators in helping clinicians determine treatment options for these patients.

RESUMO

Despite duodenal-type follicular lymphoma (DTFL) being morphologically, immunophenotypically and genetically indistinguishable from nodal FL (nFL), this entity typically shows a significantly better prognosis. Here, we analysed the tumour immune microenvironments of diagnostic specimens from patients with DTFL (n = 30), limited-stage FL (LSFL; n = 19) and advanced-stage FL (ASFL; n = 31). The mean number of CD8+ tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in the neoplastic follicles was higher in DTFL (1,827/mm2 ) than in LSFL (1,150/mm2 ) and ASFL (1,188/mm2 ) (P = 0·002, P = 0·002, respectively). In addition, CD8+ PD1-  T cells with non-exhausting phenotype were more abundant in the peripheral blood (PB) of DTFL than in LSFL and ASFL, indicating that DTFL may exhibit a better and longer-lasting T cell-mediated immune response. Moreover, whereas FOXP3+ CTLA-4+ effector regulatory T cells (eTregs) were rarely observed in the neoplastic follicles of DTFL (mean: 12/mm2 ), they were more abundant in LSFL (78/mm2 ) and ASFL (109/mm2 ) (P = 2·80 × 10-5 , P = 4·74 × 10-8 , respectively), and the numbers of eTregs correlated inversely with those of CD8+ TILs (r = -0267; P = 0·018). Furthermore, DTFL showed significantly fewer circulating FOXP3hi CD45RA- CD25hi eTregs (0·146%) than ASFL (0·497%) and healthy controls (0·639%) (P = 0·0003, P = 6·79 × 10-7 , respectively). These results suggest that the augmented anti-tumour immune reactions may contribute to a better prognosis on DTFL.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hematopoietic cell infusion-related adverse events (HCI-AEs) in hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCTs) have been largely attributed to toxicity of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for cryopreservation, but HSC products also contain various cells and plasma components. Our recent prospective study of 1125 HSCT recipients revealed the highest overall HCI-AE rate in bone marrow transplantation (BMT) using fresh/noncryopreserved products, although products of peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and cord blood transplantation (CBT) are generally cryopreserved with DMSO containing smaller plasma volumes. We aimed to clarify if product volume and component effects are more substantial in small recipients including children. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: We performed subgroup analysis on 219 recipients of 45 kg or less body weight (whole small recipients), including 90 children (pediatric recipients), from the original cohort (general recipients). RESULTS: Whereas overall HCI-AE rates did not differ among hematopoietic stem cell sources in the general recipients, bradycardia most often occurred after CBT in whole small recipients. Conversely, whole small and general recipients shared the same trend of having the highest rate of hypertension in BMT. The overall HCI-AE rate was higher in allogeneic HSCT compared with autologous HSCT. Notably, pediatric recipients showed a 10-fold higher incidence of nausea and vomiting in allogeneic HSCT compared with autologous HSCT, suggesting a possible role of allogeneic antigens. Multivariate analysis identified a relatively large infusion volume per body weight as a significant factor correlating with HCI-AE in whole small recipients. CONCLUSIONS: We should be aware of product volume and specific HCI-AEs such as nausea and vomiting in small patients including children.
