RESUMO

This 45-year study (1978-2022) at a single institution evaluated HSCT outcomes and complications, emphasizing recent advances, with to provide insights into HSCT's evolving field and ongoing efforts to enhance patient outcomes. Involving 1707 patients, the study revealed an initial phase (1978-1987) with a limited activity that yielded modest outcomes, a nearly three-decade span (1988-2016) with a substantial increase in transplant activity, emphasizing umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) for patients lacking a suitable matched sibling donor. In addition to a gradual increase in recipient age, significant improvement in outcomes emerged in the recent period (2017-2022), marked by UCBT replacement with haploidentical transplants, introduction of PTCY-based GVHD prophylaxis for all type of transplants, and increased use of conditioning regimens with thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine. In this period, reductions in GVHD, non-relapse mortality, and relapse rates significantly contributed to improved overall survival, event-free survival, and GVHD-free/relapse-free survival. The study identified specific factors, including GVHD prophylaxis and donor selection changes, associated with these positive trends. This four-decade study provides a unique perspective on allogeneic HSCT, showcasing the dynamic evolution of transplantation practices and their impact on outcomes, offering valuable insights for personalized treatment approaches and emphasizing continual innovation in this critical therapeutic modality.

RESUMO

This study aimed to investigate the kinetics of immune recovery following umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in adults who received a myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen and antithymocyte globulin (ATG). While the immune recovery kinetics has been extensively studied in pediatric UCBT recipients, limited data exist for adults. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of 221 consecutive adult patients who underwent UCBT with MAC and ATG at a single institution. Our objective was to evaluate the influence of patient, disease, and transplant factors, along with acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), on immune reconstitution and overall survival. Our findings confirm a delayed recovery of T cells, while B and NK cell reconstitution exhibited rapid progress, with NK cell counts reaching normal levels within 3 months post-transplantation and B cells within 6 months. Within CD3+ T cells, CD8+ T cells also experienced a delayed recovery (12 months), but to a lesser extent compared to CD4+ T cells (18 months). Delayed immune recovery of T-cell subsets was associated with the development of aGVHD grade II-IV, older age, CMV negativity, and a female donor. Patients with lymphoproliferative diseases showed slower NK cell recovery. Our study demonstrates that adult patients undergoing MAC with ATG and receiving a single unit UCBT for hematologic malignancies experienced rapid reconstitution of NK and B cells. However, T cell recovery, particularly CD4+ T cells, was significantly delayed. To enhance T cell recovery, it may be crucial to consider UCB units with higher cellularity and optimize ATG doses in conditioning.

RESUMO

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivations cause significant morbidity in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is associated with an increased risk of CMV infections. Data are limited comparing HSCT with PTCy performed from matched sibling donors (MSDs), matched unrelated donors (MUDs), and haploidentical (Haplo) donors. In the present study, we aimed to characterize CMV reactivation and recurrence in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing HSCT from MSD, MUD, and Haplo donors using PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis in the pre-letermovir era. We also analyzed risk factors of CMV reactivation, including GVHD as a time-dependent variable, on the incidence and mortality associated with CMV infections. We analyzed CMV reactivation in patients undergoing HSCT from 160 MSDs, 124 MUDs, and 82 Haplo donors from a single institution. Uniform GVHD prophylaxis with PTCy, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil was given irrespective of donor type. Overall, 46% of patients had at least 1 CMV reactivation. The 1-year cumulative incidence of CMV infection was 39% for MSD, 44% for MUD, and 62% for Haplo donors (P < .001), with 96% of reactivations occurring before day +100. Multivariate analysis identified factors associated with the first CMV reactivation, including Haplo donor, positive recipient CMV serology, older patient age, and grade II-IV acute GVHD. The 1-year cumulative incidence of second reactivation from HSCT was 13%. Recipient CMV seropositivity, older patient age, and grade II-IV acute GVHD, but not type of donor, were identified as adverse factors for second CMV reactivation in multivariate analysis. The 1-year cumulative incidence of a third reactivation post HSCT was 4.4%. Ten cases of CMV disease were recorded, with no attributable deaths. Nevertheless, the risk for nonrelapse mortality was greater for patients who experienced CMV reactivation in multivariate time-dependent Cox model analysis. CMV reactivation is frequent in HSCT with PTCy in patients not receiving letermovir prophylaxis. Identified risk factors include the use of a Haplo donor, recipient CMV seropositivity, and grade II-IV acute GVHD. The prevalence of recurrent CMV reactivations is a noteworthy issue, especially after acute GVHD, warranting trials of secondary prophylaxis strategies.

RESUMO

The incidence of cardiac morbimortality in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is not well known. We aim to estimate the cumulative incidence (CI) of cardiac events in AML patients and to identify risk factors for their occurrence. Among 571 newly diagnosed AML patients, 26 (4.6%) developed fatal cardiac events, and among 525 treated patients, 19 (3.6%) experienced fatal cardiac events (CI: 2% at 6 months; 6.7% at 9 years). Prior heart disease was associated with the development of fatal cardiac events (hazard ratio (HR) = 6.9). The CI of non-fatal cardiac events was 43.7% at 6 months and 56.9% at 9 years. Age ≥ 65 (HR = 2.2), relevant cardiac antecedents (HR = 1.4), and non-intensive chemotherapy (HR = 1.8) were associated with non-fatal cardiac events. The 9-year CI of grade 1-2 QTcF prolongation was 11.2%, grade 3 was 2.7%, and no patient had grade 4-5 events. The 9-year CI of grade 1-2 cardiac failure was 1.3%, grade 3-4 was 15%, and grade 5 was 2.1%; of grade 1-2, arrhythmia was 1.9%, grade 3-4 was 9.1%, and grade 5 was 1%. Among 285 intensive therapy patients, median overall survival decreased in those experiencing grade 3-4 cardiac events (p < 0.001). We observed a high incidence of cardiac toxicity associated with significant mortality in AML.

RESUMO

Background: The consequences of infectious toxicity of hypomethylating agents (HMAs) on overall survival (OS) of patients diagnosed with high-risk myeloid neoplasms have not been thoroughly investigated. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate whether infectious events (IEs) negatively influenced the results of HMA treatment in a real-world setting. Design: Observational study. Methods: We obtained data from 412 non-selected consecutive patients from 23 Spanish hospitals who were diagnosed with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or acute myeloid leukemia and were treated with HMA. HMAs received after chemotherapy or stem cell transplant were excluded. All IEs were recorded. Outcomes included OS, modifications to the pre-planned treatment, incidence and characteristics of IEs, hospitalization, red blood cell transfusions, and factors associated with infection. Results: The rate of infection was 1.2 per patient/year. Next-cycle delay (p = 0.001) and hospitalizations (p = 0.001) were significantly influenced by IEs. Transfusion requirements during each cycle were significantly higher after infection compared with cycles without infection (coefficient = 1.55 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.26-1.84], p < 0.001). The median number of cycles was lower in patients experiencing any infection during the first four cycles (5 [3-8] versu 8 [5-16], p < 0.001). In the multivariable analysis, factors associated with lower OS were having any infection during the first four cycles (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.43 [95% CI = 1.09-1.88], p = 0.01), bone marrow blasts ⩾30% (HR = 2.13 [95% CI = 1.14-3.96], p = 0.01), adverse cytogenetics (HR = 1.70 [95% CI = 1.30-2.24], p < 0.001), and platelet count <50 × 109/l (HR = 1.69 [95% CI = 1.3-2.2], p < 0.001). BM blasts >20% (HR = 1.57 [95% CI = 1.19-2.01], p < 0.001) and adverse cytogenetics (HR = 1.7 [95% CI = 1.35-2.14], p < 0.001) were associated with infection, whereas hemoglobin >9 g/dl (HR = 0.65 [95% CI = 0.51-0.82], p < 0.001) and higher platelet count (HR = 0.997 [95% CI = 0.996-0.998], p = 0.016) protected from it. Conclusion: HMA infectious toxicity worsens OS, hinders the adherence to antineoplastic treatment and results in significant morbidity. Preventive strategies are fundamental in vulnerable patients.

RESUMO

According to current guidelines, in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), only the TP53 molecular status must be evaluated prior to every treatment's initiation. However, additional heterogeneous genetic events are known to confer a proliferative advantage to the tumor clone and are associated with progression and treatment failure in CLL patients. Here, we describe the implementation of a comprehensive targeted sequencing solution that is suitable for routine clinical practice and allows for the detection of the most common somatic single-nucleotide and copy number variants in genes relevant to CLL. We demonstrate that this cost-effective strategy achieves variant detection with high accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity. Furthermore, we identify somatic variants and copy number variations in genes with prognostic and/or predictive value, according to the most recent literature, and the tool provides evidence about subclonal events. This next-generation sequencing (NGS) capture-based target assay is an improvement on current approaches in defining molecular prognostic and/or predictive variables in CLL patients.
