RESUMO
BACKGROUND: We aimed to investigate factors associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia and CMV disease and its impact on post-transplant outcomes including overall survival (OS) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT). METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective study including 452 Allo-SCT recipients (matched unrelated donor, MUD 61%; haploidentical, haplo 39%) from 2016 to 2021. Data were analyzed using SPSS v28. Descriptive (chi-square and t-test), Kaplan-Meier and regression analyses were conducted. RESULTS: The median age was 57 years. Sixty-one percent were males and 84.3% were Caucasians. CMV serostatus was positive in 59.1% of recipients. The median follow-up was 24.4 months. CMV viremia and CMV disease were observed in 181 (40%) and 32 (7%) patients, respectively. Among CMV seropositive recipients, 65% developed CMV viremia and 11% were noted to have CMV disease compared to 4% and 1% in seronegative recipients, respectively (p < 0.001). Patients with CMV disease had significantly lower OS than those without CMV disease (median 14.1 months vs. not reached, p = 0.024); however, OS was not associated with CMV viremia (median not reached in both groups, p = 0.640). Letermovir prophylaxis was used in 66% (n = 176/267) of CMV seropositive recipients, but no impact was observed on the incidence of CMV viremia or CMV disease and OS. CONCLUSIONS: CMV disease leads to significantly inferior survival after an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Recipient CMV seropositive status was associated with the risk of CMV viremia and CMV disease, and this was not abrogated with the use of Letermovir prophylaxis.

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) in TP53-mutated myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). A literature search was performed on PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Clinicaltrials.gov. After screening 626 articles, eight studies were included. Data were extracted following the PRISMA guidelines and analyzed using the meta-package by Schwarzer et al. We analyzed 540 patients. The pooled median 3 (1-5) year overall survival was 21% (95% CI 0.08-0.37, I2=91%, n=540). The pooled relapse rate was 58.9% (95% CI 0.38-0.77, I2=93%, n=487) at a median of 1.75 (1-3) years. The pooled 4-year progression- free survival was 34.8% (95% CI 0.15-0.57, I2=72%, n=105). Outcomes of Allo-HSCT for TP53-mutated MDS patients remain poor, with 21% OS at three years; however, Allo-HSCT confers a survival advantage as compared to non-transplant palliative therapies. Our findings suggest the need to explore novel therapeutic agents in prospective clinical trials.

We investigated the outcomes after adult haploidentical (haplo) and matched unrelated donor (MUD) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in a single-center study (n = 452) including 276 MUD and 176 haplo transplants. Myeloablative (37%) and reduced-intensity conditioning (63%) were performed. Graft sources included peripheral blood (50%) and bone marrow (50%). GVHD prophylaxis included tacrolimus/methotrexate (53%) and post-transplant cyclophosphamide-based (47%). In MUD versus haplo HCT recipients, a similar incidence of neutrophil engraftment (18 vs 17 days, p = 0.895), grade II-IV acute GVHD (51% vs 50%, p = 0.773), relapse (26% vs 23%, p = 0.578), non-relapse mortality (22% vs 23%, p = 0.817), 1-year disease-free survival (62% vs 63%. p = 0.921), and 1-year overall survival (73% vs 74%, p = 0.744) were observed. Earlier platelet engraftment (22 vs 27 days, p < 0.001) and higher chronic GVHD (45% vs 35%, p = 0.040) were noted in MUD as compared to haplo HCT. Allogeneic transplantation should be done promptly whenever indicated, utilizing either matched unrelated or haploidentical donors.
