RESUMO
BACKGROUND: We conducted a retrospective study to categorize the cord blood unit (CBU)s to identify the optimal units. METHODS: A total of 8503 adults (female, n = 3592; male, n = 4911) receiving their first single cord blood transplantation (CBT) in 2000-2019 were analyzed. Factors associated with CBUs affecting overall survival (OS) and neutrophil engraftment were selected to create ranked categorization for each outcome, followed by comparison with transplantation using HLA-matched bone marrow (BMT)/peripheral blood stem cell (PBSCT) from unrelated (n = 6052) and related donors (n = 4546). RESULTS: Sex-mismatch, CD34+ cell and CFU-GM counts were selected in the OS analysis. Considering the strong interaction between sex mismatch and CD34+ cell counts, we analyzed females and males separately. For females, female CBU with CD34+ cell counts {greater than or equal to} 0.5 × 10e5/kg and CFU-GM counts {greater than or equal to} 15 × 10e3/kg offered the best OS (Group I), followed by other groups with any (Groups II-IV) or all (Group V) of the risk factors. Group I consistently showed favorable OS (Group IV: HR1.22, P = 0.027; Group V: HR1.31, P = 0.047), comparable to those of rBMT/PBSCT (OS: HR1.02, P = 0.654) and uBM/PBSCT in patients with higher rDRI (HR1.07, P = 0.353). Male patients lacked significant factors affecting OS. Categorization for neutrophil engraftment consisting of CD34+ cell and CFU-GM counts, sex-mismatch, presence of donor-specific antibodies, and the number of HLA-mismatches was effective but not predicted OS. CONCLUSION: Our ranked categorizations sufficiently predicted female OS and engraftment. The best-ranked CBUs offered preferable outcomes comparable to conventional BM/PB donors in female but not in male patients.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major infectious complication following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Although letermovir (LMV) prophylaxis dramatically reduces the incidence of early clinically significant CMV (csCMV) infection, it remains unclear whether it has a beneficial effect on nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS). Herein, we evaluated the impact of LMV prophylaxis on posttransplant outcomes using the registry database of the Japanese Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy. Adult patients who underwent allo-HCT between 2017 and 2019 were analyzed (n = 6004). LMV prophylaxis was administered to 1640 patients (LMV group) and it significantly reduced the incidence of csCMV infection compared with those not administered LMV prophylaxis (15.4% vs 54.1%; p < 0.01). However, it did not improve the 1-year NRM (hazard ratio [HR], 0.93; p = 0.40) and OS (HR, 0.96; p = 0.49). In the LMV group, 74 patients had breakthrough csCMV infection and showed inferior NRM (HR, 3.44; p < 0.01) and OS (HR, 1.93; p = 0.02) compared with those without infection. After completing LMV prophylaxis, 252 patients had late csCMV infection and showed inferior NRM (HR, 1.83; p < 0.01) and OS (HR, 1.58; p < 0.01). Our findings suggest that managing breakthrough and late csCMV infections is important for improving long-term outcomes.

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation is a frequent complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Despite routine screening for CMV reactivation and early antiviral treatment, the rates of CMV-related complications after HCT remain high. Genetic variants in both the donor and recipient have been associated with the risk of CMV reactivation and disease after HCT, but these associations have not been validated, and their clinical importance remains unclear. In this study, we assessed 117 candidate variants previously associated with CMV-related phenotypes for association with CMV reactivation and disease in a cohort of 2169 CMV-seropositive HCT recipients. We also carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for CMV reactivation and disease in the same cohort. Both analyses used a prespecified discovery and replication approach to control the risk of false-positive results. Among the 117 candidate variants, our analysis implicates only the donor ABCB1 rs1045642 genotype as a risk factor for CMV reactivation. This synonymous variant in P-glycoprotein may influence the risk of CMV reactivation by altering the efflux of cyclosporine and tacrolimus from donor lymphocytes. In the GWAS analysis, the donor CDC42EP3 rs11686168 genotype approached the significance threshold for association with CMV reactivation, although we could not identify a mechanism to explain this association. The results of this study suggest that most genomic variants previously associated with CMV phenotypes do not significantly alter the risk for CMV reactivation or disease after HCT.

Social determinants of health, including poverty, contribute significantly to health outcomes in the United States; however, their impact on pediatric hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes is poorly understood. We aimed to identify the association between neighborhood poverty and HCT outcomes for pediatric allogeneic HCT recipients in the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database. We assembled 2 pediatric cohorts undergoing first allogeneic HCT from 2006 to 2015 at age ≤18 years, including 2053 children with malignant disease and 1696 children with nonmalignant disease. Neighborhood poverty exposure was defined a priori per the US Census definition as living in a high-poverty ZIP code (≥20% of persons below 100% federal poverty level) and used as the primary predictor in all analyses. Our primary outcome was overall survival (OS), defined as the time from HCT until death resulting from any cause. Secondary outcomes included relapse and transplantation-related mortality (TRM) in malignant disease, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease, and infection in the first 100 days post-HCT. Among children undergoing transplantation for nonmalignant disease, neighborhood poverty was not associated with any HCT outcome. Among children undergoing transplantation for malignant disease, neighborhood poverty conferred an increased risk of TRM but was not associated with inferior OS or any other transplantation outcome. Among children with malignant disease, a key secondary finding was that children with Medicaid insurance experienced inferior OS and increased TRM compared with those with private insurance. These data suggest opportunities for future investigation of the effects of household-level poverty exposure on HCT outcomes in pediatric malignant disease to inform care delivery interventions.

Somatic mutations are recognized as an important prognostic factor in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). However, limited data are available regarding their impact on outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). In this registry analysis conducted in collaboration with the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplantation Registry database/sample repository, we identified 313 adult patients with CMML (median age: 64 years, range, 28- 77) who underwent allogeneic HCT during 2001-2017 and had an available biospecimen in the form of a peripheral blood sample obtained prior to the start of conditioning. In multivariate analysis, a CMML-specific prognostic scoring system (CPSS) score of intermediate-2 (HR=1.46, P=0.049) or high (HR=3.22, P=0.0004) correlated significantly with overall survival. When the molecularly informed CPSS-Mol prognostic model was applied, a high CPSS-Mol score (HR=2 P=0.0079) correlated significantly with overall survival. The most common somatic mutations were in ASXL1 (62%), TET2 (35%), KRAS/NRAS (33% combined), and SRSF2 (31%). DNMT3A and TP53 mutations were associated with decreased overall survival (HR=1.70 [95% CI: 1.11-2.60], P=0.0147 and HR=2.72 [95% CI: 1.37-5.39], P=0.0042, respectively) while DNMT3A, JAK2, and TP53 mutations were associated with decreased disease-free survival (HR=1.66 [95% CI: 1.11-2.49], P=0.0138, HR=1.79 [95% CI: 1.06-3.03], P=0.0293, and HR=2.94 [95% CI: 1.50-5.79], P=0.0018, respectively). The only mutation associated with increased relapse was TP53 (HR=2.94, P=0.0201). Nonetheless, the impact of TP53 mutations specifically should be interpreted cautiously given their rarity in CMML. We calculated the goodness of fit measured by Harrell's C-index for both the CPSS and CPSS-Mol, which were very similar. In summary, via registry data we have determined the mutational landscape in patients with CMML who underwent allogeneic HCT, and demonstrated an association between CPSS-Mol and transplant outcomes although without major improvement in the risk prediction beyond that provided by the CPSS.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains the only curative treatment for myelofibrosis. However, the optimal conditioning regimen either with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) or myeloablative conditioning (MAC) is not well known. Using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database, we identified adults aged ≥18 years with myelofibrosis undergoing allo-HCT between 2008-2019 and analyzed the outcomes separately in the RIC and MAC cohorts based on the conditioning regimens used. Among 872 eligible patients, 493 underwent allo-HCT using RIC (fludarabine/ busulfan n=166, fludarabine/melphalan n=327) and 379 using MAC (fludarabine/busulfan n=247, busulfan/cyclophosphamide n=132). In multivariable analysis with RIC, fludarabine/melphalan was associated with inferior overall survival (hazard ratio [HR]=1.80; 95% confidenec interval [CI]: 1.15-2.81; P=0.009), higher early non-relapse mortality (HR=1.81; 95% CI: 1.12-2.91; P=0.01) and higher acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) (grade 2-4 HR=1.45; 95% CI: 1.03-2.03; P=0.03; grade 3-4 HR=2.21; 95%CI: 1.28-3.83; P=0.004) compared to fludarabine/busulfan. In the MAC setting, busulfan/cyclophosphamide was associated with a higher acute GvHD (grade 2-4 HR=2.33; 95% CI: 1.67-3.25; P<0.001; grade 3-4 HR=2.31; 95% CI: 1.52-3.52; P<0.001) and inferior GvHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) (HR=1.94; 95% CI: 1.49-2.53; P<0.001) as compared to fludarabine/busulfan. Hence, our study suggests that fludarabine/busulfan is associated with better outcomes in RIC (better overall survival, lower early non-relapse mortality, lower acute GvHD) and MAC (lower acute GvHD and better GRFS) in myelofibrosis.

Unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation (UR-BMT), unrelated donor cord blood stem cell transplantation (UR-CBT), and haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (Haplo-PBSCT) are the main alternative stem cell sources for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in Japan. The present study aimed to identify factors associated with the outcomes of UR-BMT, UR-CBT, and Haplo-PBSCT in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and intermediate- or poor-risk cytogenetics to improve the clinical efficacy and safety of allogeneic HCT. We retrospectively analyzed data for 448 AML patients aged > 65 years who received UR-BMT (n = 102), UR-CBT (n = 250), or Haplo-PBSCT (n = 96) between 2014 and 2020. Overall survival (OS) in the UR-BMT group was superior (P = 0.033) to that in the other groups. However, all patients without complete remission (non-CR) who had Karnofsky performance status (KPS) < 80 at HCT and poor-risk cytogenetics died within 1 year after HCT. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified KPS <80 at HCT and poor-risk cytogenetics as independent predictors of worse OS in non-CR patients. KPS < 80 may be an alternative indicator for non-CR AML patients with poor-risk cytogenetics during the selection of HCT, alternative treatments, or best supportive therapy, and the optimal KPS is important for the success of HCT.

Rationale: Data on the molecular mechanisms that regulate platelet-pulmonary endothelial adhesion under conditions of hypoxia are lacking, but may have important therapeutic implications. Objectives: To identify a hypoxia-sensitive, modifiable mediator of platelet-pulmonary artery endothelial cell adhesion and thrombotic remodeling. Methods: Network medicine was used to profile protein-protein interactions in hypoxia-treated human pulmonary artery endothelial cells. Data from liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and microscale thermophoresis informed the development of a novel antibody (Ab) to inhibit platelet-endothelial adhesion, which was tested in cells from patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and three animal models in vivo. Measurements and Main Results: The protein NEDD9 was identified in the hypoxia thrombosome network in silico. Compared with normoxia, hypoxia (0.2% O2) for 24 hours increased HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor-1α)-dependent NEDD9 upregulation in vitro. Increased NEDD9 was localized to the plasma-membrane surface of cells from control donors and patients with CTEPH. In endarterectomy specimens, NEDD9 colocalized with the platelet surface adhesion molecule P-selectin. Our custom-made anti-NEDD9 Ab targeted the NEDD9-P-selectin interaction and inhibited the adhesion of activated platelets to pulmonary artery endothelial cells from control donors in vitro and from patients with CTEPH ex vivo. Compared with control mice, platelet-pulmonary endothelial aggregates and pulmonary hypertension induced by ADP were decreased in NEDD9-/- mice or wild-type mice treated with the anti-NEDD9 Ab, which also decreased chronic pulmonary thromboembolic remodeling in vivo. Conclusions: The NEDD9-P-selectin protein-protein interaction is a modifiable target with which to inhibit platelet-pulmonary endothelial adhesion and thromboembolic vascular remodeling, with potential therapeutic implications for patients with disorders of increased hypoxia signaling pathways, including CTEPH.

BACKGROUND: Despite a strong association between acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and cytomegalovirus reactivation (CMVR), the joint effect of acute GVHD and CMVR on nonrelapse mortality (NRM) has not been well studied. METHODS: We evaluated the impact of CMVR on NRM stratified according to the development of acute GVHD using a landmark method. This study included 6078 patients who received their first allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with a preemptive strategy for CMVR between 2008 and 2017. RESULTS: The cumulative incidences of grade 2-4 acute GVHD (G24GVHD), CMVR by day 100, and CMV disease by day 365 were 37.3%, 52.1%, and 2.9%, respectively. Patients with G24GVHD were associated with the subsequent development of CMVR, and the presence of CMVR also increased the risk of G24GVHD. In a landmark analysis at day 65, the cumulative incidence of NRM at 1 year was 5.4%, 10.0%, 13.9%, and 19.7% in patients with G24GVHD-/CMVR-, G24GVHD-/CMVR+, G24GVHD+/CMVR-, and G24GVHD+/CMVR+, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, CMVR was respectively associated with an increased risk of NRM by day 365 in patients without G24GVHD (hazard ratio [HR], 1.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24-2.05; Pâ <â .001) and with G24GVHD (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.06-1.70; Pâ =â .014), but the interaction between G24GVHD and CMVR was not significant (Pâ =â .326). Subgroup analyses suggested that the joint effect of acute GVHD and CMVR might vary according to the baseline characteristics. CONCLUSIONS: These data regarding the close relationship between acute GVHD and CMVR should provide important implications for the treatment strategy after HCT.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) treated with chemoimmunotherapy has limited efficacy in some patients, resulting in relapsed or refractory disease. Avadomide (CC-122) is a novel cereblon-binding agent that exhibits antilymphoma and immune-modulation activities with a biological profile distinct from similar agents, such as lenalidomide. This phase I multicenter study evaluated avadomide in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors or NHL. Fourteen patients with NHL and one with a solid tumor (esophageal carcinoma), were enrolled in four dose-escalation cohorts using a 3 + 3 design. Primary endpoints included safety, dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), maximum-tolerated dose and/or recommended phase II dose (RP2D), and pharmacokinetics. Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response. One patient with NHL experienced DLT, which included face edema, pharyngeal edema, and tumor flare (all grade 1) that led to a dose reduction. Eleven patients had grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events, most frequently decreased neutrophil count (33%) and decreased lymphocyte count (20%). The ORR in patients with NHL (n = 13) was 54%, including four complete and three partial responses. The best response for the solid tumor patient was progressive disease. Avadomide dose intensity was consistent across cohorts, and the 3-mg dose given five consecutive days/week was established as the RP2D. This phase I study identified a tolerable dose of avadomide, with an acceptable toxicity profile and clinically meaningful efficacy in Japanese patients with previously treated NHL.

BACKGROUND: The association of community factors and outcomes after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has not been comprehensively described. Using the County Health Rankings and Roadmaps (CHRR) and the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR), this study evaluated the impact of community health status on allogeneic HCT outcomes. METHODS: This study included 18,544 adult allogeneic HCT recipients reported to the CIBMTR by 170 US centers in 2014-2016. Sociodemographic, environmental, and community indicators were derived from the CHRR, an aggregate community risk score was created, and scores were assigned to each patient (patient community risk score [PCS]) and transplant center (center community risk score [CCS]). Higher scores indicated less healthy communities. The impact of PCS and CCS on patient outcomes after allogeneic HCT was studied. RESULTS: The median age was 55 years (range, 18-83 years). The median PCS was -0.21 (range, -1.37 to 2.10; standard deviation [SD], 0.42), and the median CCS was -0.13 (range, -1.04 to 0.96; SD, 0.40). In multivariable analyses, a higher PCS was associated with inferior survival (hazard ratio [HR] per 1 SD increase, 1.04; 99% CI, 1.00-1.08; P = .0089). Among hematologic malignancies, a tendency toward inferior survival was observed with a higher PCS (HR, 1.04; 99% CI, 1.00-1.08; P = .0102); a higher PCS was associated with higher nonrelapse mortality (NRM; HR, 1.08; 99% CI, 1.02-1.15; P = .0004). CCS was not significantly associated with survival, relapse, or NRM. CONCLUSIONS: Patients residing in counties with a worse community health status have inferior survival as a result of an increased risk of NRM after allogeneic HCT. There was no association between the community health status of the transplant center location and allogeneic HCT outcomes.

We conducted a randomised phase II study to determine the optimal dose and schedule of melphalan, prednisone, and bortezomib (MPB) (jRCTs031180097). Transplant-ineligible untreated multiple myeloma patients were randomised to Arm A (twice weekly bortezomib in one six-week cycle followed by eight five-week cycles of four times once weekly bortezomib with melphalan and prednisolone on days 1-4) or Arm B (nine four-week cycles of three times once weekly bortezomib with melphalan and prednisolone on days 1-4). The primary end-point was complete response (CR) rate. Of 91 patients randomised to two arms, 88 were eligible. The median cumulative bortezomib doses were 45·8 and 35·1 mg/m2 , CR rate was 18·6% [95% confidence interval (CI) 8·4-33·4] and 6·7% (95% CI 1·4-18·3), and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2·5 and 1·4 years in Arms A and B [hazard ratio (HR) 1·93 (95% CI 1·09-3·42)], respectively. Frequent grade ≥3 haematologic toxicities in Arms A and B were neutropenia (64·4% vs. 28·3%) and thrombocytopenia (35·6% vs. 10·9%). Grade 2/3 peripheral neuropathy was observed in 24·4/2·2% in Arm A and 8·7/0% in Arm B. In conclusion, Arm A was the more promising regimen, suggesting that the twice weekly schedule of bortezomib in the first cycle and higher cumulative dose of both bortezomib and melphalan influences the efficacy of modified MPB.

There is a matter of debate about the clinical impact of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation on the development of late-onset invasive aspergillosis (IA), which occurs 40 days or later after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Using a Japanese transplant registry database, we analyzed the risk factors for the development of late-onset IA in 21,015 patients who underwent their first allogeneic HSCT between 2006 and 2017. CMV reactivation was defined as the initiation of preemptive anti-CMV antiviral therapy. Overall, there were 582 cases of late-onset IA, which occurred at a median of 95 days after HSCT. The 2-year cumulative incidence was 3.4% (95% confidence interval (CI), 3.0-3.9) in patients with CMV reactivation within 40 days after HSCT and 2.5% (95% CI, 2.3-2.8) in those without it (P < 0.001). In a multivariate analysis, CMV reactivation as a time-dependent covariate was significantly associated with the development of late-onset IA (hazard ratio (HR) 1.40, P < 0.001), as well as grade II-IV acute GVHD, age > 50 and HCT-CI ≥ 3 in the entire cohort. If we focus on the subgroup without grade II-IV acute GVHD, which is generally an indication for systemic corticosteroid therapy (n = 12,622), CMV reactivation was still a significant factor for the development of late-onset IA (HR 1.37, P = 0.045) as well as age > 50 years, HCT-CI ≥ 3, and cord blood transplantation. In conclusion, CMV reactivation was associated with an increased risk of late-onset IA after allogeneic HSCT independently of acute GVHD. Close monitoring for late-onset IA is necessary for patients who develop CMV reactivation even without grade II-IV acute GVHD.

Respiratory viral infection is a common disease even among immunocompetent individuals. Moreover, approximately 40% of the hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients suffer from a respiratory infection within 100 days after HCT. New respiratory viruses have been continuously identified in the past 20 years, such as new strains of coronaviruses (CoV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), and human bocavirus (BoV). In 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 that caused the coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 pandemic was identified. The 30-day overall survival after lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) due to CoV, including SARS-CoV-2 or HMPV, was 60-70%, which is similar to that after LRTD due to influenza or respiratory syncytial virus. However, whether BoV is a pathogen of LRTD remains unclear. Moreover, corticosteroid has been reported as an efficient drug for LRTD due to SARS-CoV-2. Antiviral drug (remdesivir), anti-IL-6 receptor antibody (tocilizumab), and JAK inhibitor (ruxolitinib) are also expected to be efficient for the treatment of COVID-19. Thus, managing respiratory viruses in HCT recipients needs to be learned based on experiences from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The effects of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation on cord blood transplant (CBT) are unclear. We assessed the effect of CMV reactivation in adult single-unit CBT without in vivo T cell depletion. Of 3147 eligible cases, 2052 were acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 643 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and 452 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). CMV reactivation up to 100 days after CBT was associated with better overall survival (OS) compared with no reactivation cases (57.3% versus 52.6% at 3 years after CBT), whereas nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was increased in ALL (16.2% versus 8.9%) and standard disease risk (17.1% versus 10.6%, P = .014) by CMV reactivation. On multivariate analysis, CMV reactivation had favorable effects on relapse in MDS (hazard ratio [HR], .55; P = .044) and high disease risk (HR, .77; P = .047). In NRM, only standard-risk cases showed adverse effects of CMV reactivation (HR, 1.56; P = .026). OS was significantly improved with CMV reactivation in a subgroup of patients with AML (HR, .84; P = .044), MDS (HR, .68; P = .048), and high disease risk (HR, .81; P = .013). This favorable effect of CMV reactivation on OS in AML and high disease risk cases was maintained even after considering the effect of grades II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease. Thus, CMV reactivation might have beneficial or adverse effects on relapse, NRM, and OS, depending on the disease type or disease risk.

Treatment for relapse of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) includes tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with or without donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs), but the most effective treatment strategy is unknown. This study was performed through the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) database. We retrospectively reviewed all patients reported to the CIBMTR registry from 2002 to 2014 who underwent HCT for CML and were alive 30 days postrelapse. A total of 215 HCT recipients relapsed and were analyzed in the following groups: (1) TKI alone (n = 128), (2) TKI with DLI (n = 48), and (3) DLI without TKI (n = 39). In multivariate analysis, disease status prior to HCT had a significant effect on overall survival (OS). Patients who received a DLI alone compared with a TKI with a DLI had inferior survival (hazard ratio, 2.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.23 to 4.24; P= .009). Those who received a TKI alone had similar survival compared with those who received a TKI with a DLI (P = .81). These data support that despite use of TKIs pretransplantation, TKI salvage therapy continues to provide significant survival following relapse in patients with CML following HCT. These data do not suggest that adding a DLI to a TKI adds an improvement in OS.

It remains unknown whether the administration of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting BCR-ABL1 after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with improved outcomes for patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). In this registry study, we analyzed clinical outcomes of 390 adult patients with CML who underwent transplantation between 2007 and 2014 and received maintenance TKI following HCT (nâ¯=â¯89) compared with no TKI maintenance (nâ¯=â¯301), as reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. All patients received TKI therapy before HCT. The majority of patients had a disease status of first chronic phase at HCT (nâ¯=â¯240; 62%). The study was conducted as a landmark analysis, excluding patients who died, relapsed, had chronic graft-versus-host disease, or were censored before day +100 following HCT. Of the 89 patients who received TKI maintenance, 77 (87%) received a single TKI and the other 12 (13%) received multiple sequential TKIs. The most common TKIs used for maintenance were dasatinib (nâ¯=â¯50), imatinib (nâ¯=â¯27), and nilotinib (nâ¯=â¯27). As measured from day +100, the adjusted estimates for 5-year relapse (maintenance, 35% versus no maintenance, 26%; Pâ¯=â¯.11), leukemia-free survival (maintenance, 42% versus no maintenance, 44%; Pâ¯=â¯.65), or overall survival (maintenance, 61% versus no maintenance, 57%; Pâ¯=â¯.61) did not differ significantly between patients receiving TKI maintenance or no maintenance. These results remained unchanged in multivariate analysis and were not modified by disease status before transplantation. In conclusion, our data from this day +100 landmark analysis do not demonstrate a significant impact of maintenance TKI therapy on clinical outcomes. The optimal approach to TKI administration in the post-transplantation setting in patients with CML remains undetermined.

Follow-up is integral for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) care to ensure surveillance and intervention for complications. We characterized the incidence of and predictors for being lost to follow-up. Two-year survivors of first allogeneic HCT (10,367 adults and 3865 children) or autologous HCT (7291 adults and 467 children) for malignant/nonmalignant disorders between 2002 and 2013 reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research were selected. The cumulative incidence of being lost to follow-up (defined as having missed 2 consecutive follow-up reporting periods) was calculated. Marginal Cox models (adjusted for center effect) were fit to evaluate predictors. The 10-year cumulative incidence of being lost to follow-up was 13% (95% confidence interval [CI], 12% to 14%) in adult allogeneic HCT survivors, 15% (95% CI, 14% to 16%) in adult autologous HCT survivors, 25% (95% CI, 24% to 27%) in pediatric allogeneic HCT survivors, and 24% (95% CI, 20% to 29%) in pediatric autologous HCT survivors. Factors associated with being lost to follow-up include younger age, nonmalignant disease, public/no insurance (reference: private), residence farther from the tranplantation center, and being unmarried in adult allogeneic HCT survivors; older age and testicular/germ cell tumor (reference: non-Hodgkin lymphoma) in adult autologous HCT survivors; older age, public/no insurance (reference: private), and nonmalignant disease in pediatric allogeneic HCT survivors; and older age in pediatric autologous HCT survivors. Follow-up focusing on minimizing attrition in high-risk groups is needed to ensure surveillance for late effects.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only potentially curative option for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Mortality after HCT is high, with deaths related to relapse or transplant-related complications. Thus, identifying patients who may or may not benefit from HCT is clinically important. We identified 1514 patients with MDS enrolled in the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research Registry and had their peripheral blood samples sequenced for the presence of 129 commonly mutated genes in myeloid malignancies. A random survival forest algorithm was used to build the model, and the accuracy of the proposed model was assessed by concordance index. The median age of the entire cohort was 59 years. The most commonly mutated genes were ASXL1(20%), TP53 (19%), DNMT3A (15%), and TET2 (12%). The algorithm identified the following variables prior to HCT that impacted overall survival: age, TP53 mutations, absolute neutrophils count, cytogenetics per International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised, Karnofsky performance status, conditioning regimen, donor age, WBC count, hemoglobin, diagnosis of therapy-related MDS, peripheral blast percentage, mutations in RAS pathway, JAK2 mutation, number of mutations/sample, ZRSR2, and CUX1 mutations. Different variables impacted the risk of relapse post-transplant. The new model can provide survival probability at different time points that are specific (personalized) for a given patient based on the clinical and mutational variables that are listed above. The outcomes' probability at different time points may aid physicians and patients in their decision regarding HCT.

Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) have been increasingly used for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation instead of bone marrow stem cells. Current National Marrow Donor Program policy recommends 5 days of daily filgrastim, followed by either 1 or 2 days of apheresis for unrelated donors, depending on collection center choice. To date, there are no published studies comparing the differences in donor experience between 1 day and 2 days of apheresis. We examined 22,348 adult unrelated donor collections in 184 centers between 2006 and 2016. Of these 22,348 donors, 20,004 (89.5%) had collection on 1 day, and the other 2344 (9.5%) had collection over 2 days. Information on why donors underwent apheresis in 1 day or 2 days was not available. Donors who underwent apheresis in 1 day were more likely to be male (67% versus 46%; P < .001), younger (age <30 years, 48% versus 36%; P < .001), and have a higher body weight (83.0 kg versus 75.9 kg; P< .001) and body mass index (BMI; >30, 30% versus 22%; P < .001). Successful collection of the requested CD34+ cell count was achieved on the first day in 82% of 1-day collections and in 16% of 2-day collections. Despite not administering filgrastim the evening after the first day of collection in patients who underwent 2 days of apheresis, the median concentration of CD34+ cells/L in the product was higher on the second day of apheresis compared with the first day (23.8 × 106 CD34+/L on day 1 versus 28.7 × 106 CD34+/L on day 2; P< .001). Donors who underwent collection in 1 day were less likely to experience citrate toxicity (36% versus 52%; P< .001), hospitalization (1% versus 6%; P< .001), and other side effects related to apheresis (Modified Toxicity Criteria incidence: 20% versus 26%; P < .001). Female sex, older age, collection via central lines, and higher BMI were factors associated with greater likelihood for the development of toxicity, whereas less toxicity was noted in those with higher CD34+ counts and more blood processed on the first day of collection. We conclude that although unrelated donors can be successfully collected in 1 day or 2 days, 1-day apheresis procedures were associated with less overall toxicity, and thus we recommend single-day collections, especially if the requested number of cells have been collected in 1 day.
