RESUMEN

Pocket motifs and their amino acid positions of HLA molecules are known to govern antigen presentation to effector cells. Our objective was to analyse their influence on the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and relapse after umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT). The transplant characteristics of 849 patients with acute leukaemia were obtained from the Eurocord/EBMT database. Higher acute (a) GVHD was associated with homozygosity of UCB HLA-C amino acid positions 77 and 80 (NN/KK) (p = 0.008). Severe aGVHD was associated with HLA-A pocket B YSAVMENVHY motif (p = 0.002) and NN and RR genotypes of the HLA-C amino acid positions 77 and 156 (p = 0.006 and p = 0.002). Such risk was also increased in case of recipient and UCB mismatches in P4 (p < 0.0001) and P9 (p = 0.003) pockets of HLA-DQB1 alleles. For chronic GVHD, the pocket B YYAVMEISNY motif of the HLA-B*15:01 allele and the absence of mismatch between recipient and UCB in the P6 pocket of HLA-DRB1 were associated with a lower risk (p = 0.0007 and p = 0.0004). In relapse, both UCB pocket B YFAVMENVHY belonging to HLA-A*32:01 and recipient pocket B YDSVGENYQY motif of the HLA-C*07:01 allele were associated with higher risk (p = 0.0026 and p = 0.015). We provide clues on HLA-mediated cellular interactions and their role in the development of GVHD and relapse.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: NKG2D is an activating receptor expressed by natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cells and activation intensity varies by NKG2D expression level or nature of its ligand. An NKG2D gene polymorphism determines high (HNK1) or low (LNK1) expression. MICA is the most polymorphic NKG2D ligand and stronger effector cell activation associates with methionine rather than valine at residue 129. We investigated correlation between cord blood (CB) NKG2D and MICA genotypes and haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplant outcome. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 267 CB HSC recipients (178 adult and 87 paediatric) who underwent transplant for malignant disease between 2007 and 2018, analysing CB graft DNA for NKG2D and MICA polymorphisms using Sanger sequencing. Multivariate analysis was used to correlate these results with transplant outcomes. RESULTS: In adult patients, LNK1 homozygous CB significantly improved 60-day neutrophil engraftment (hazard ratio (HR) 0.6; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.4-0.9; p = .003). In paediatrics, HNK1 homozygous CB improved 60-day engraftment (HR 0.4; 95% CI 0.2-0.7; p = .003), as did MICA-129 methionine+ CB grafts (HR 1.7 95% CI 1.1-2.6; p = .02). CONCLUSION: CB NKG2D and MICA genotypes potentially improve CB HSC engraftment. However, results contrast between adult and paediatric recipients and may reflect transplant procedure disparities between cohorts.

RESUMEN

HLA matching is a critical factor in allogeneic unrelated hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) because of its impact on post-transplantation survival and quality of life. Umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) offers unique advantages, but determining the optimal approach to graft selection and immunosuppression remains challenging. Unsupervised clustering, a machine learning technique, has potential for analyzing transplantation outcomes, but its application in investigating leukemia outcomes has been limited. This study aimed to identify optimal combinations of HLA/ killer immunoglobulin receptor (KIR) donor-patient pairing, conditioning, and immunosuppressive regimens in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) undergoing UCBT. Outcome data for single, unmanipulated UCBT in pediatric AML (n = 708) and ALL (n = 1034) patients from the Eurocord/EBMT registry were analyzed using unsupervised clustering. Resulting clusters were used to inform post hoc competing risks and Kaplan-Meier analyses. In AML, single HLA-C mismatches with other loci fully matched (7/8) were associated with poorer relapse-free survival (RFS) (P = .039), but a second mismatch at any other locus counteracted this effect. In ALL, total body irradiation (TBI) effectively prevented relapse mortality (P = .007). KIR/HLA-C match status affected RFS in AML (P = .039) but not in ALL (P = .8). Administration of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) substantially increased relapse, with no relapses occurring in the 85 patients who did not receive ATG. Our unsupervised clustering analyses generate several key statistical and mechanistic hypotheses regarding the relationships between HLA matching, conditioning regimens, immunosuppressive therapies, and transplantation outcomes in pediatric AML and ALL patients. HLA-C and KIR combinations significantly impact RFS in pediatric AML but not in ALL. ATG use in fully matched pediatric patients is associated with late-stage relapse. TBI regimens appear to be beneficial in ALL, with efficacy largely independent of histocompatibility variables. These findings reflect the distinct genetic and biological profiles of AML and ALL.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT: To clarify the different characteristics and prognostic factors of cord blood transplantation (CBT) in adult patients with lymphoid neoplasms in Europe and Japan, we conducted a collaborative study. Patients aged 18-75 years receiving their first CBT (Europe: single CBT, n = 192; double CBT, n = 304; Japan: single CBT, n = 1150) in 2000-2017 were analyzed. Fewer patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (Europe vs Japan, 26% vs 5%), and older patients (≥50 years) (39% vs 59%) with a higher refined disease risk index (rDRI) (high-very high: 49% vs 14%) were included in the Japanese registry. High-very high rDRI was associated with inferior overall survival (OS) (vs low rDRI, Europe: hazard ratio [HR], 1.87; P = .001; Japan: HR, 2.34; P < .001) with higher progression/relapse risks. Total body irradiation (TBI)-containing conditioning contributed to superior OS both in Europe (vs TBI-reduced-intensity conditioning [RIC], non-TBI-RIC: HR, 1.93; P < .001; non-TBI-Myeloablative conditioning [MAC]: HR, 1.90; P = .003) and Japan (non-TBI-RIC: HR, 1.71; P < .001; non-TBI-MAC: HR 1.50, P = .007). The impact of HLA mismatches (≥2) on OS differed (Europe: HR, 1.52; P = .007; Japan: HR, 1.18; P = .107). CBT for lymphoid neoplasms, especially in those with high rDRI showed poor outcomes despite all the different characteristics in both registries. TBI should be considered in conditioning regimens to improve these outcomes. The different impacts of HLA mismatches call attention to the fundamental differences among these populations.

RESUMEN

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains the sole available curative treatment for Fanconi anemia (FA), with particularly favorable outcomes reported after matched sibling donor (MSD) HCT. This study aimed to describe outcomes, with a special focus on late complications, of FA patients who underwent umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). In this retrospective analysis of allogeneic UCBT for FA performed between 1988 and 2021 in European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT)-affiliated centers, a total of 205 FA patients underwent UCBT (55 related and 150 unrelated) across 77 transplant centers. Indications for UCBT were bone marrow failure in 190 patients and acute leukemia/myelodysplasia in 15 patients. The median age at transplantation was 9 years (range, 1.2 to 43 years), with only 20 patients aged >18 years. Among the donor-recipient pairs, 56% (n = 116) had a 0 to 1/6 HLA mismatch. Limited-field radiotherapy was administered to 28% (n = 58) and 78% (n = 160) received a fludarabine (Flu)-based conditioning regimen. Serotherapy consisted of antithymocyte globulin (n = 159; 78%) or alemtuzumab (n = 12; 6%). The median follow-up was 10 years for related UCBT and 7 years for unrelated UCBT. Excellent outcomes were observed in the setting of related UCBT, including a 60-day cumulative incidence (CuI) of neutrophil recovery of 98.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 93.9% to 100%), a 100-day CuI of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) of 17.3% (95% CI, 9.5% to 31.6%), and a 5-year CuI of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) of 22.7% (95% CI, 13.3% to 38.7%; 13% extensive). Five-year overall survival (OS) was 88%. In multivariate analysis, none of the factors included in the model predicted a better OS. In unrelated UCBT, the 60-day CuI of neutrophil recovery was 78.7% (95% CI, 71.9% to 86.3%), the 100-day CuI of grade II-IV aGVHD was 31.4% (95% CI, 24.6% to 40.2%), and the 5-year CuI of cGVHD was 24.3% (95% CI, 17.8% to 32.2%; 12% extensive). Five-year OS was 44%. In multivariate analysis, negative recipient cytomegalovirus serology, Flu-based conditioning, age <9 years at UCBT, and 0 to 1/6 HLA mismatch were associated with improved OS. A total of 106 patients, including 5 with acute leukemia/myelodysplasia, survived for >2 years after UCBT. Nine of these patients developed subsequent neoplasms (SNs), including 1 donor-derived acute myelogenous leukemia and 8 solid tumors, at a median of 9.7 years (range, 2.3 to 21.8 years) post-UCBT (1 related and 8 unrelated UCBT). In a subset of 49 patients with available data, late nonmalignant complications affecting various organ systems were observed at a median of 8.7 years (range, 2.7 to 28.8 years) post-UCBT. UCB is a valid source of stem cells for transplantation in patients with FA, with the best results observed after related UCBT. After unrelated UCBT, improved survival was observed in patients who underwent transplantation at a younger age, with Flu-based conditioning, and with better HLA parity. The incidence of organ-specific complications and SNs was relatively low. The incidence of SNs, mostly squamous cell carcinoma, increases with time. Rigorous follow-up and lifelong screening are crucial in survivors of UCBT for FA.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT Background and Aims. The presence of dermatologic reaction as an adverse event to sorafenib treatment in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma has been indicated as a prognostic factor for survival in a recent prospective analysis. To date, this is the only clinical predictor of treatment response, which can be evaluated earlier in the treatment and, therefore, contribute to a better and more individualized patient management. Material and methods. This retrospective study included 127 patients treated with sorafenib under real-life practice conditions in two hepatology reference centers in Brazil. Demographic data, disease/medical history and time of sorafenib administration as well as adverse events related to the medication were recorded in a database. Results. Cirrhosis was present in 94% of patients, 85.6% were Child-Pugh A, 80.3%BCLC-C, 81% had vascular invasion and/or extrahepatic spread and 95% had a performance status 0 to 1.The median duration of treatment was 10.1 months (range: 0.1-47 months).The most common adverse event within the first 60 days of treatment were diarrhea (62.2%) and dermatological reaction (42%).The median overall survival for the cohort was 20 months, and it was higher for patients who developed dermatological reactions within the first 60 days compared to those who did not present this adverse event. Conclusion. This retrospective analysis showed the use of sorafenib in patients selected according to BCLC staging, and it is the first external validation of early dermatologic adverse events as a predictor of overall survival in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
