Second line extracorporeal photopheresis for cortico-resistant acute and chronic GVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for hematological malignancies: Long-term results from a real-life study.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this observational study was to perform an exhaustive description concerning patients receiving extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) as second line treatment after steroid resistance for either acute or chronic GVHD following allo-HCT, secondary objectives were to evaluate the efficacy and long-term outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: A total of 106 patients were included, 65 (61%) males and 41 (39%) females with a median age at transplantation of 52 years (range: 20-67). ECP was initiated after transplantation either for acute GVHD [N = 25 (24%), 12 grade III and 13 grade IV] affecting skin alone (N = 5), gut alone (N = 12), gut and liver (N = 8), or chronic GVHD [N = 81 (76%), 15 (14%) limited and 66 (62%) extensive]. RESULTS: Among the 25 patients treated for acute GHVD, 67% were responders and among the 81 patients with chronic GVHD, 78% were responders. Patients with acute GVHD had a median OS of 6 months with a survival probability at 2 years of 35% [95%CI: 14-56]. Patients with chronic GVHD had a median OS of 72 months with a survival probability at 2 years of 68% [95%CI: 56-78]. There was a significant difference in terms of survival for patients responding to ECP compared to non-responders in both acute and chronic GVHD forms. Acute GVHD grade III-IV, negatively impacted on OS (HR=7.77, 95%CI: 1.7-34), p = 0.007 and on disease relapse HR= 5.88, 95%CI: 1.7-20, p = 0.005. CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that ECP is an effective treatment for GVHD in a good proportion of patients with high overall response rate.

Advances in management of primary myelofibrosis and polycythaemia vera: Implications in clinical practice.

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and polycythaemia vera (PV) are rare BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, associated with an increased risk of thrombosis, haemorrhagic complications and progression to fibrosis or leukaemia or fibrosis for PV. Both diseases are characterised by biological and clinical heterogeneity, leading to great variability in their management in routine clinical practice. In this review, we present an updated overview of the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of PMF and PV, and we discuss how our multidisciplinary expert group based across France translates this evidence-based knowledge into routine clinical practice.

Impact on Outcome of Minimal Residual Disease after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation with Fludarabine, Amsacrine, and Cytosine Arabinoside-Busulfan Conditioning: A Retrospective Monocentric Study.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) after conditioning with a sequential association of fludarabine, amsacrine, and cytosine arabinoside (FLAMSA) followed by a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen has emerged for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), especially in refractory or relapsing patients. Here we aimed to address retrospectively the impact of pretransplantation minimal residual disease (MRD) by flow cytometry on the outcomes of high-risk AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT after sequential FLAMSA-busulfan (FLAMSA-Bu)-based conditioning regimens. We included 165 high-risk AML patients who underwent transplantation after FLAMSA-BU in this retrospective single-center "real life" study. All patients received in vivo T cell depletion with antithymocyte globulin (5 mg/kg). MRD detection was based on a leukemia-associated immunophenotype using the European LeukemiaNet recommendations, with a threshold of .1%. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using R version 4.1.1 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). With a median follow-up of 4.0 years post-transplantation, the median overall survival (OS) was 54.9 months. Overall, 41 patients (24.8%) relapsed post-transplantation, with a resulting cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) of 26.7% at 2 years and 34.0% at 5 years. Detectable MRD preceding allo-HSCT and refractory status were associated with worse median OS and CIR rates compared with patients without detectable MRD; however, OS was not significantly different between pre-HSCT MRD-positive and refractory patients (median, .7 year versus 2.0 years; P = .3). Conversely, pre-HSCT MRD negativity was associated with a reduced 2-year CIR. Neither European LeukemiaNet risk stratification nor age had a significant influence on OS. In the multivariate analysis, only pre-HSCT MRD positivity and lower conditioning regimen intensity were significantly associated with a poorer OS. The cumulative incidence of extensive chronic graft-versus-host disease at 2 years was 26.15%. The estimated nonrelapse mortality (NRM) of the entire cohort at 2 years was 23.1%, with age and unrelated donor identified as risk factors for higher NRM. Our data ahow that FLAMSA-Bu conditioning did not reverse the pejorative effect of detectable pre-HSCT MRD, suggesting that such patients should be offered alternative strategies before HSCT to reach deeper remission.

Distinct Immune Reconstitution Profiles Captured by Immune Functional Assays at 6 Months Post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Immune reconstitution after allogeneic-hematopoietic-stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a complex and individual process. In this cross-sectional study, whole-blood (WB) immune functional assay (IFA) was used to characterize immune function by assessing immune-related gene/pathway alterations. The usefulness of this tool in the context of infection, 6 months after transplantation, was evaluated. Sixty allo-HSCT recipients at 6 months after transplantation and 10 healthy volunteers (HV) were included. WB was stimulated in standardized TruCulture tubes using lipopolysaccharides and Staphylococcal enterotoxin B. Gene expression was quantified using a custom 144-gene panel using NanoString nCounter technology and analyzed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. The relationships between immune function and clinical characteristics, immune cell counts, and post-transplantation infections were assessed. Allo-HSCT recipients were able to activate similar networks of the innate and adaptive immune response compared to HV, with, nevertheless, a lower intensity. A reduced number and a lower expression of genes associated with immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes were observed in allo-HSCT recipients. The use of immunosuppressive treatments was associated with a protracted immune reconstitution revealed by transcriptomic immunoprofiling. No difference in immune cell counts was observed among patients receiving or not receiving immunosuppressive treatments using a large immunophenotyping panel. Moreover, the expression of a set of genes, including CCL3/CCL4, was significantly lower in patients with Herpesviridae reactivation (32%, 19/60), which once again was not identified using classical immune cell counts. Transcriptional IFA revealed the heterogeneity among allo-HSCT recipients with a reduced immune function, a result that could not be captured by circulating immune cell counts. This highlights the potential added value of this tool for the personalized care of immunocompromised patients.

Efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib in patients with myelofibrosis and low platelet count (50 × 109/L to <100 × 109/L) at baseline: the final analysis of EXPAND.

Background: Thrombocytopenia is a common feature of myelofibrosis (MF), a myeloproliferative neoplasm driven by dysregulated JAK/STAT signaling; however, pivotal trials assessing the efficacy of ruxolitinib (a JAK1/2 inhibitor) excluded MF patients with low platelet counts (<100 × 109/L). Objectives: Determination of the maximum safe starting dose (MSSD) of ruxolitinib was the primary endpoint, with long-term safety and efficacy as secondary and exploratory endpoints, respectively. Design: EXPAND (NCT01317875) was a phase 1b, open-label, ruxolitinib dose-finding study in patients with MF and low platelet counts (50 to <100 × 109/L). Methods: Patients were stratified according to baseline platelet count into stratum 1 (S1, 75 to <100 × 109/L) or stratum 2 (S2, 50 to <75 × 109/L). Previous analyses established the MSSD at 10 mg twice daily (bid); long-term results are reported here. Results: Of 69 enrolled patients, 38 received ruxolitinib at the MSSD (S1, n = 20; S2, n = 18) and are the focus of this analysis. The incidence of adverse events was consistent with the known safety profile of ruxolitinib, with thrombocytopenia (S1, 50%; S2, 78%) and anemia (S1, 55%; S2, 44%) the most frequently reported adverse events and no new or unexpected safety signals. Substantial clinical benefits were observed for patients in both strata: 50% (10/20) and 67% (12/18) of patients in S1 and S2, respectively, achieved a spleen response (defined as ⩾50% reduction in spleen length from baseline) at any time during the study. Conclusion: The final safety and efficacy results from EXPAND support the use of a 10 mg bid starting dose of ruxolitinib in patients with MF and platelet counts 50 to <100 × 109/L. Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01317875.

Class I/Class II HLA Evolutionary Divergence Ratio Is an Independent Marker Associated With Disease-Free and Overall Survival After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Class I Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) evolutionary divergence (HED) is a metric which reflects immunopeptidome diversity and has been associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor responses in solid tumors. Its impact and interest in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) have not yet been thoroughly studied. This study analyzed the clinical and immune impact of class I and II HED in 492 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) recipients undergoing HCT. The overall cohort was divided into a training (n=338) and a testing (n=132) set. Univariate cox screening found a positive impact of a high class I HED and a negative impact of a high class II HED on both disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS). These results were combined in a unique marker, class I/class II HED ratio, and assessed in the testing cohort. The final multivariate cox model confirmed the positive impact of a high versus low class I/class II HED ratio on both DFS (Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.41 [95% CI 0.2-0.83]; p=0.01) and OS (HR 0.34 [0.19-0.59]; p<0.001), independently of HLA matching and other HCT parameters. No significant association was found between the ratio and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) nor with neutrophil and platelet recovery. A high class I HED was associated with a tendency for an increase in NK, CD8 T-cell, and B cell recovery at 12 months. These results introduce HED as an original and independent prognosis marker reflecting immunopeptidome diversity and alloreactivity after HCT.

Eltrombopag Added to Immunosuppression in Severe Aplastic Anemia.

BACKGROUND: A single-group, phase 1-2 study indicated that eltrombopag improved the efficacy of standard immunosuppressive therapy that entailed horse antithymocyte globulin (ATG) plus cyclosporine in patients with severe aplastic anemia. METHODS: In this prospective, investigator-led, open-label, multicenter, randomized, phase 3 trial, we compared the efficacy and safety of horse ATG plus cyclosporine with or without eltrombopag as front-line therapy in previously untreated patients with severe aplastic anemia. The primary end point was a hematologic complete response at 3 months. RESULTS: Patients were assigned to receive immunosuppressive therapy (Group A, 101 patients) or immunosuppressive therapy plus eltrombopag (Group B, 96 patients). The percentage of patients who had a complete response at 3 months was 10% in Group A and 22% in Group B (odds ratio, 3.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 to 7.8; P = 0.01). At 6 months, the overall response rate (the percentage of patients who had a complete or partial response) was 41% in Group A and 68% in Group B. The median times to the first response were 8.8 months (Group A) and 3.0 months (Group B). The incidence of severe adverse events was similar in the two groups. With a median follow-up of 24 months, a karyotypic abnormality that was classified as myelodysplastic syndrome developed in 1 patient (Group A) and 2 patients (Group B); event-free survival was 34% and 46%, respectively. Somatic mutations were detected in 29% (Group A) and 31% (Group Β) of the patients at baseline; these percentages increased to 66% and 55%, respectively, at 6 months, without affecting the hematologic response and 2-year outcome. CONCLUSIONS: The addition of eltrombopag to standard immunosuppressive therapy improved the rate, rapidity, and strength of hematologic response among previously untreated patients with severe aplastic anemia, without additional toxic effects.

Successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with VEXAS syndrome: a 2-center experience.

The recently described vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome is caused by somatic mutations in UBA1. Patients with VEXAS syndrome display late-onset autoinflammatory symptoms, usually refractory to treatment, and hematologic abnormalities. The identification of an easily-accessible specific marker (UBA1 mutations) is of particular interest as it allows the convergence of various inflammatory and hematological symptoms in a unique clinico-biological entity and gives the opportunity to design specific treatment strategies. Here we retrospectively identified 6 patients with VEXAS syndrome who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). To date, no treatment guidelines have been validated. In 4 patients, ASCT was guided by life-threatening autoinflammatory symptoms that were refractory to multiple therapies. Three patients are in durable complete remission 32, 38, and 37 months after ASCT. Two others are in complete remission response after 3 and 5 months. One unfortunately died post-ASCT. This report suggests that ASCT could be a curative option in patients with VEXAS syndrome and severe manifestations. Considering the complications and side effects of the procedure as well as the existence of other potential treatment, clinical trials are needed to define the subgroup of patients who will benefit from this strategy and its place in the therapeutic arsenal against VEXAS syndrome.

The Impact of DNMT3A Status on NPM1 MRD Predictive Value and Survival in Elderly AML Patients Treated Intensively.

Minimal residual disease (MRD) is now a powerful surrogate marker to assess the response to chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DNMT3A mutation has been associated with adverse outcomes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of DNMT3A status on NPM1 MRD predictive value for survival in a retrospective cohort of AML patients aged over 60 years old treated intensively. A total of 138 patients treated for NPM1-mutated AML in two French institutions were analyzed retrospectively. DNMT3A status did not influence the probability of having a ≥ 4log MRD1 reduction after induction. Only 20.4% of FLT3-ITD patients reached ≥ 4log MRD1 reduction compared to 47.5% in FLT3wt cases. A 4log reduction of NPM1 MRD was associated with a better outcome, even in FLT3-ITD mutated patients, independent of the allelic ratio. DNMT3A negative patients who reached a 4log reduction had a superior outcome to those who did not (HR = 0.23; p < 0.001). However, postinduction NPM1 MRD1 reduction was not predictive of OS and LFS in DNMT3Amut patients. These results confirm that post-induction NPM1 MRD1 is a reliable tool to assess disease outcome in elderly AML patients. However, the presence of DNMT3A also identifies a subgroup of patients at high risk of relapse.

Ruxolitinib before allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation in patients with myelofibrosis on behalf SFGM-TC and FIM groups.

This multicenter prospective phase 2 trial analyzed disease-free survival (DFS) in myelofibrosis patients receiving ruxolitinib for 6 months before transplantation. Seventy-six patients were recruited. Age-adjusted dynamic international prognostic scoring system was intermediate-1, intermediate-2, and high in 27 (36%), 31 (41%), and 18 (24%) patients. All patients received ruxolitinib from inclusion to conditioning regimen (fludarabine-melphalan) or to progression. A donor was found in 64 patients: 18 HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD), 32 HLA-matched unrelated (UD10/10), and 14 HLA mismatched unrelated donor (UD9/10. Among 64 patients with a donor, 20 (31%) achieved a partial response before transplantation and 59 (92%) could be transplanted after ruxolitinib therapy (18/18 MSD, 30/21 UD10/10, 11/34 UD9/10), of whom 19 (32%) were splenectomized. Overall survival from inclusion was 68% at 12 months. One-year DFS after transplantation was 55%: 83%, 40%, and 34% after MSD, UD10/10 or UD9/10, respectively. Cumulative incidence of grade 2-4 acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was 66% and non-relapse-mortality was 42% at 12 months. Short course of ruxolitinib before transplantation is followed by a high rate of transplantation. With the platform used in this protocol, outcome was much better in patients transplanted with HLA-matched sibling donor as compared to unrelated donor.

Immunosuppression medication adherence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant: Impact of a specialized clinical pharmacy program.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of implementing a specialized clinical pharmacy program in patients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) on their adherence to the immunosuppression treatment after discharge. A prospective open interventional design using a retrospective control group was used. The intervention was based on pharmaceutical consultations: the first was performed the day before discharge of HSCT unit and the next consultations during day-care follow-up (weeks 2 and 4 after discharge). Proactive medication reconciliation was implemented with a complete list of medications before the discharge prescription. The discharge prescription summarized on a personalized drug schedule was explained to the patient. The importance of optimal adherence and the potential problems related to self-medication were explained to the patient. Immunosuppression drug adherence was assessed by a direct method using serum levels of calcineurin inhibitors. The potential impact on acute GvHD, and infection was investigated. Twenty-six patients were included in the specialized clinical pharmacy program and 35 patients were in the control group. Seventy-nine pharmaceutical consultations were conducted in the intervention group, lasting a mean 25 min and 16 min for the first and following consultations, respectively. Serum levels in the therapeutic target range were higher in the intervention group (61.5% versus 53.0%, p = 0.07), with greater intra-individual variation (p = 0.005). There was no significant intergroup difference in acute GvHD (53.8% versus 50.3%, p = 0.85) or infection (26.9 versus 22.8%, p = 0.72). The implementation of a specialized clinical pharmacy program for patients who have received allogeneic HSCT seems to be beneficial for immunosuppression drug adherence; this now needs to be confirmed in a multicenter study involving a larger number of patients.

Splenectomy before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for myelofibrosis: A French nationwide study.

The value of pretransplant splenectomy in patients with myelofibrosis (MF) is subject to debate, since the procedure may preclude subsequent allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). To determine the impact of pretransplant splenectomy on the incidence of allo-HCT, we conducted a comprehensive retrospective study of all patients with MF for whom an unrelated donor search had been initiated via the French bone marrow transplantation registry (RFGM) between 1 January 2008 and 1 January 2017. Additional data were collected from the patients' medical files and a database held by the French-Language Society for Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cell Therapy (SFGM-TC). We used a multistate model with four states ("RFGM registration"; "splenectomy"; "death before allo-HCT", and "allo-HCT") to evaluate the association between splenectomy and the incidence of allo-HCT. The study included 530 patients from 57 centers. With a median follow-up time of 6 years, we observed 81 splenectomies, 99 deaths before allo-HCT (90 without splenectomy and nine after), and 333 allo-HCTs (268 without splenectomy and 65 after). In a bivariable analysis, the hazard ratio [95% confidence interval (CI)] for the association of splenectomy with allo-HCT was 7.2 [5.1-10.3] in the first 4 months and 1.18 [0.69-2.03] thereafter. The hazard ratio [95% CI] for death associated with splenectomy was 1.58 [0.79-3.14]. These reassuring results suggest that splenectomy does not preclude allo-HCT in patients with MF.

Torque Teno Virus Viral Load as a Marker of Immune Function in Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Recipients.

Torque teno virus (TTV) has been proposed as a surrogate biomarker of T-cell function in allogeneic-haematopoietic-stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Conflicting data exists regarding the value of TTV to assess the degree of immunosuppression. The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between TTV viral load and immune function. Using samples from a prospective cohort composed of healthy-volunteers (HV) and allo-HSCT recipients at 6 months post-transplantation, we assessed the correlation between TTV viraemia and immune cell counts or T-cell proliferation capacity post-phytohaemagglutinin stimulation. TTV viraemia was detected in 68% of HV (n = 80) and 100% of allo-HSCT recipients (n = 41; p < 0.001); it was significantly higher in allo-HSCT recipients (3.9 vs. 2.1 Log copies/mL, p < 0.001). There was no correlation between T-cell function and CD3+T-cell count (rho: 0.002) suggesting that T-cell count can normalise without full functional recovery. Furthermore, no significant correlation was observed between TTV viraemia and absolute total/subset lymphocyte counts (rho: <0.13). The highest correlation was observed between TTV viral load and T-cell proliferation capacity (rho: -0.39). We therefore report an inverse correlation between T-cell function and TTV viraemia that is independent of T-cell count. Monitoring of TTV viraemia could be a fast suitable option to objectively assess the competence of immune function in at-risk populations.

Real-world non-interventional long-term post-authorisation safety study of ruxolitinib in myelofibrosis.

Primary objective of this non-interventional, post-authorisation safety study was to provide real-world safety data [incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs)/serious adverse events (SAEs)] on adult patients with myelofibrosis exposed/or not exposed to ruxolitinib. Key secondary objectives included the incidence/outcome of events of special interest (bleeding events, serious/opportunistic infections, second primary malignancies, and deaths). Overall, 462 patients were included [prevalent users = 260, new users = 32, non-exposed = 170 (inclusive of ruxolitinib-switch, n = 57)]. The exposure-adjusted incidence rates (per 100 patient-years) of ADRs (19·3 vs. 19·6) and SAEs (25·2 vs. 25·0) were comparable amongst new-users versus prevalent-users cohorts, respectively; most frequent ADRs across all cohorts included thrombocytopenia, anaemia, epistaxis, urinary tract infection, and herpes zoster. Anaemia, pneumonia, general physical health deterioration, sepsis, and death were the most frequent SAEs across all cohorts. Incidence rates of bleeding events (21·6) and serious/opportunistic infections (34·5) were higher in ruxolitinib-switch cohort versus other cohorts. The incidence rate of second primary malignancies was higher in the prevalent-users cohort (10·1) versus other cohorts. The observed safety profile of ruxolitinib in the present study along with the safety findings from the COMFORT/JUMP/EXPAND studies support the use of ruxolitinib for long-term treatment of patients with myelofibrosis.

Lyon-University Hospital Experience with Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin Therapy in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: a 'Real-Life' Study.

Ninety-four adults with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were treated with fractionated doses of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) at one-single French center over ten years. We attempted to define predictive factors for response and survival. The overall response rate was 70% (86% in newly diagnosed and 65% in relapsed/refractory AML). Mortality during induction was 6%. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival at three years after GO treatment was 36% and 31%, respectively. Median DFS in relapsed/refractory patients was eight months with a 3-year DFS at 34%. Among remitters, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can be performed in 28 cases (42%), including two patients in first-line therapy and 26 in further line. In relapsed/refractory patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT after responding to GO therapy, the median DFS was not reached. Incidences of transplant-related mortality, grade ≥ 3 acute graft-versus-host (GvH) disease, and extensive chronic GvH disease were 11%, 14%, and 25%, respectively. No sinusoidal obstruction syndromes were reported among allografted patients as among the other patients in the studied cohort. GO-based chemotherapy is a viable option for the treatment of relapsed/refractory AML patients and is a feasible schedule as a bridge to allogeneic transplant.

Efficacy and Safety of Revaccination against Tetanus, Diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae Type b and Hepatitis B Virus in a Prospective Cohort of Adult Recipients of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Data on immunogenicity and safety of the recommended revaccination schedule against diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), and hepatitis B in adult allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients are limited. This prospective single-center cohort study (April 2014 to March 2018) included adult allo-HSCT recipients referred to a dedicated vaccinology consultation and vaccinated with the pediatric combined diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, hepatitis B virus, inactivated poliovirus, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTaP(±HB)-IPV-Hib) vaccine (3 doses 1 month apart, booster dose 1 year later). The proportion of responders to tetanus, diphtheria, Hib, and hepatitis B vaccine and geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of antibodies were assessed before and up to 24 months after vaccination. A total of 106 patients were vaccinated at a median (interquartile range) time of 12.4 (10 to 18.4) months post-transplant. At 5.3 (4.8 to 6.6) and 23.1 (21.1 to 25.1) months after vaccine initiation, high and sustained rates of protective antibody titers were achieved for tetanus (97.8% [95% confidence interval (95% CI), 92.4% to 99.7%], n = 91/93 and 100% [95% CI, 92% to 100%], n = 44/44), diphtheria (94.6% [95% CI, 87.9% to 98.2%], n = 88/93 and 90.9% [95% CI, 78.3% to 97.5%], n = 40/44), Hib (96.6% [95% CI, 90.4% to 99.3%], n = 85/88 and 93% [95% CI, 80.9% to 98.5%], n = 40/43), and hepatitis B (83.5% [95% CI, 73.5% to 90.9%], n = 66/79 and 81.1% [95% CI, 64.8% to 92%], n = 30/37). Underlying disease, stem cell source, chronic graft-versus-host-disease, and extracorporeal photopheresis differentially influenced GMCs of tetanus, diphtheria, and hepatitis B antibodies after 3 doses but not in the long term (24 months). Six (5.7%) patients experienced mild side effects. The pediatric DTaP(±HB)-IPV-Hib vaccine was safe and effective in eliciting a sustained protective humoral response in adult allo-HSCT recipients. Hepatitis B revaccination might be optimized by using higher antigen doses.
