RESUMEN
First-line therapy for younger patients with peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (T-NHL) consists of 6 courses of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) with or without etoposide (CHOEP), consolidated by high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT). We hypothesized that allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) could improve outcomes. 104 patients with peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, except ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma, 18 to 60 years, all stages, and all age adjusted International Prognostic Index scores, except 0 and stage I, were randomized to 4 cycles of CHOEP and 1 cycle of dexamethasone, cytosine-arabinoside, and platinum (DHAP) followed by high-dose therapy and auto-SCT or myeloablative conditioning and allo-SCT. The primary end point was event-free survival (EFS) at 3 years. After a median follow-up of 42 months, the 3-year EFS after allo-SCT was 43%, as compared with 38% after auto-SCT. Overall survival at 3 years was 57% vs 70% after allo- or auto-SCT, without significant differences between treatment arms. None of the 21 responding patients proceeding to allo-SCT relapsed, as opposed to 13 of 36 patients (36%) proceeding to auto-SCT. Eight of 26 patients (31%) and none of 41 patients died of transplant-related toxicity after allo- and auto-SCT, respectively. The strong graft-versus-lymphoma effect after allo-SCT was counterbalanced by transplant-related mortality. This trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00984412.

Whereas the prognosis of adult patients with Philadelphia-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has greatly improved since the advent of pediatric-inspired regimens, the impact of initial central nervous system (CNS) involvement has not been formerly re-evaluated. We report here the outcome of patients with initial CNS involvement included in the pediatric-inspired prospective randomized GRAALL-2005 study. Between 2006 and 2014, 784 adult patients (aged 18-59 years) with newly diagnosed Philadelphia-negative ALL were included, of whom 55 (7%) had CNS involvement. In CNSpositive patients, overall survival was shorter (median 1.9 years vs. not reached, HR=1.8 [1.3-2.6], P<0.001). While there was no statistical difference in cumulative incidence of relapse between CNS+ and CNS- patients (HR=1.5 [0.9-2.5], P=0.11), non-relapse mortality was significantly higher in those with initial CNS disease (HR=2.1 [1.2-3.5], P=0.01). This increase in toxicity was mostly observed in patients randomized to the high-dose cyclophosphamide arm and in those who received allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Exploratory landmark analyses did not show any association between either cranial irradiation or allogeneic stem cell transplantation and outcome. Despite improved outcome in young adult ALL patients with pediatric-inspired protocols, CNS involvement is associated with a worse outcome mainly due to excess toxicity, without improved outcome with allogeneic SCT.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) represents the most beneficial treatment for patients with active relapsed/refractory (R/R) hematologic malignancies. Recently, sequential regimens combining debulking chemotherapy followed by reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) have shown encouraging results for these patients. In this retrospective study, we report the extended results of a sequential regimen of clofarabine, cytosine arabinoside, and RIC in 131 adults with active R/R myeloid disease at transplant. Conditioning consisted of clofarabine (30 mg/m2/day) and cytosine arabinoside (1 g/m2/day) for 5 days, followed, after a rest of 3 days, by an RIC combining cyclophosphamide (60 mg/kg) for 1 day, iv busulfan (3.2 mg/kg/day) for 2 days, and anti-thymocyte globulin (2.5 mg/kg/day) for 2 days. Between 2007 and 2016, 131 patients (males n = 75, median age: 52.6 years) were identified from the SFGM-TC registry. There were 111 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and 20 cases with myelodysplastic or myeloproliferative syndrome. Status at transplant was known for all but 4 patients and was primary refractory (n = 81) and 1st or 2nd relapse (n = 46). All patients received allo-SCT from a matched donor (sibling n = 64, unrelated n = 67). Engraftment was observed in 105/122 (86%) evaluable cases and 63% of the patients achieved complete remission (CR) after transplant. The 1-year overall survival, disease-free survival, relapse incidence, non-relapse mortality, and graft-versus-host disease-free/relapse-free survival were 39.2%, 28.1%, 41.0%, 30.8%, and 22.2%, respectively. This study confirms that this sequential clofarabine-based regimen provides a high CR rate in this critical population, although relapse remains a matter of concern.

Treatment of steroid-resistant acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains an unmet clinical need. Inolimomab, a monoclonal antibody to CD25, has shown encouraging results in phase 2 trials. This phase 3 randomized, open-label, multicenter trial compared inolimomab vs usual care in adult patients with steroid-refractory acute GVHD. Patients were randomly selected to receive treatment with inolimomab or usual care (the control group was treated with antithymocyte globulin [ATG]). The primary objective was to evaluate overall survival at 1 year without changing baseline allocated therapy. A total of 100 patients were randomly placed: 49 patients in the inolimomab arm and 51 patients in the ATG arm. The primary criteria were reached by 14 patients (28.5%) in the inolimomab and 11 patients (21.5%) in the ATG arms, with a hazard ratio of 0.874 (P = .28). With a minimum follow-up of 1 year, 26 (53%) and 31 (60%) patients died in the inolimomab and ATG arms, respectively. Adverse events were similar in the 2 arms, with fewer viral infections in the inolimomab arm compared with the ATG arm. The primary end point of this randomized phase 3 trial was not achieved. The lack of a statistically significant effect confirms the need for development of more effective treatments for acute GVHD. This trial is registered to https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ctr-search/search as EUDRACT 2007-005009-24.

The prognostic implications of DNMT3A genotype in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia are incompletely understood. We performed comprehensive genetic and clinico-biological analyses of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients with DNMT3A mutations treated during the GRAALL-2003 and -2005 studies. Eighteen of 198 cases (9.1%) had DNMT3A alterations. Two patients also had DNMT3A mutations in non-leukemic cell DNA, providing the first potential evidence of age-related clonal hematopoiesis in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. DNMT3A mutation was associated with older age (median 43.9 years vs 29.4 years, P<0.001), immature T-cell receptor genotype (53.3% vs 24.4%, P=0.016) and lower remission rates (72.2% mutated vs 94.4% non-mutated, P=0.006). DNMT3A alterations were significantly associated with worse clinical outcome, with higher cumulative incidence of relapse (HR 2.33, 95% CI: 1.05-5.16, P=0.037) and markedly poorer event-free survival (HR 3.22, 95% CI: 1.81-5.72, P<0.001) and overall survival (HR 2.91, 95% CI: 1.56-5.43, P=0.001). Adjusting for age as a covariate, or restricting the analysis to patients over 40 years, who account for almost 90% of DNMT3A-mutated cases, did not modify these observations. In multivariate analysis using the risk factors that were used to stratify treatment during the GRAALL studies, DNMT3A mutation was significantly associated with shorter event-free survival (HR 2.33, 95% CI: 1.06 - 4.04, P=0.02). Altogether, these results identify DNMT3A genotype as a predictor of aggressive T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia biology. The GRAALL-2003 and -2005 studies were registered at http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT00222027 and #NCT00327678, respectively.

A prospective phase II multicenter trial was performed with the aim to obtain less than 25% nonrelapse mortality (NRM) after unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen (RIC) consisting of total body irradiation (2 Gy), cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg), and fludarabine (200 mg/m(2)). From 2007 to 2009, 79 UCBT recipients were enrolled. Patients who underwent transplantation in first complete remission (CR1) (n = 48) had a higher frequency of unfavorable cytogenetics and secondary AML and required more induction courses of chemotherapy to achieve CR1 compared with the others. The median infused total nucleated cells (TNC) was 3.4 × 10(7)/kg, 60% received double UCBT, 77% were HLA mismatched (4/6), and 40% had major ABO incompatibility. Cumulative incidence of neutrophil recovery at day 60 was 87% and the cumulative incidence of 100-day acute graft-versus-host disease (II to IV) was 50%. At 2 years, the cumulative incidence of NRM and relapse was 20% and 46%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, major ABO incompatibility (P = .001) and TNC (<3.4 × 10(7)/kg; P = .001) were associated with increased NRM, and use of 2 or more induction courses to obtain CR1 was associated with increased relapse incidence (P = .04). Leukemia-free survival (LFS) at 2 years was 35%, and the only factor associated with decreased LFS was secondary AML (P = .04). In conclusion, despite the decreased NRM observed, other RIC regimens with higher myelosuppression should be evaluated to decrease relapse in high-risk AML. (EUDRACT 2006-005901-67).

BACKGROUND: The objective of the current study was to investigate the role of postremission consolidation chemotherapy before reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1). METHODS: Of the 789 consecutive patients with AML in CR1 who underwent RIC alloSCT from a human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling or matched unrelated donor peripheral stem cell grafts between 2001 and 2010, 591 patients received at least 1 cycle of consolidation chemotherapy and 198 patients did not receive any consolidation chemotherapy before alloSCT. To minimize inherent survival bias in favor of patients who underwent transplant long after achieving CR1, the study focused on 373 patients who underwent transplant within the median time frame between achievement of CR1 and alloSCT (3 months for patients who underwent alloSCT from matched siblings and 4 months for patients who underwent alloSCT from matched unrelated donors). In this subgroup, 151 patients did not receive any consolidation chemotherapy and 222 patients received ≥ 1 consolidation chemotherapy cycle. RESULTS: With a median follow-up of 36 months (range, 2 months-135 months), the 3-year cumulative recurrence incidence (RI) was not significantly different between the groups (36% ± 4% for the group treated without consolidation chemotherapy vs 38% ± 3% for patients who received consolidation chemotherapy; P = .89). In addition, leukemia-free survival was similar between the groups (45% ± 4% and 47% ± 3%, respectively; P = .41). Dose intensity of cytarabine given during consolidation chemotherapy appeared to have no influence on RI. On multivariate analysis, pretransplant consolidation (≥ 1 cycle vs 0 cycles) was found to have no significant impact on RI (hazards ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 0.84-1.97 [P = .24]) or leukemia-free survival (hazards ratio, 1.00; 95% confidence interval, 0.71-1.42 [P = .99]). CONCLUSIONS: The data from the current study suggest no apparent advantage for postremission consolidation chemotherapy before RIC alloSCT, provided a donor is readily available.

We prospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of a clofarabine, intravenous busulfan and antithymocyte globulin-based reduced-toxicity conditioning (CloB2A2) regimen before allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Thirty high-risk patients (median age: 59 years; acute myeloid leukemia n=11, acute lymphoblastic leukemia n=13; myelodysplastic syndrome n=5, bi-phenotypic leukemia n=1) were included in this phase 2 study. At time of their transplant, 20 and seven patients were in first and second complete remission, respectively, while three patients with myelodysplastic syndrome were responding to chemotherapy or who had not been previously treated. The CloB2A2 regimen consisted of clofarabine 30 mg/m(2)/day for 4 days, busulfan 3.2 mg/kg/day for 2 days and antithymocyte globulin 2.5 mg/kg/day for 2 days. The median follow-up was 23 months. Engraftment occurred in all patients. The 1-year overall survival, leukemia-free survival, relapse incidence and non-relapse mortality rates were 63±9%, 57±9%, 40±9%, and 3.3±3%, respectively. Comparing patients with acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome versus those with acute lymphoblastic leukemia/bi-phenotypic leukemia, the 1-year overall and leukemia-free survival rates were 75±10% versus 50±13%, respectively (P=0.07) and 69±12% versus 43±13%, respectively (P=0.08), while the 1-year relapse incidence was 25±11% versus 57±14%, respectively (P=0.05). The CloB2A2 regimen prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation is feasible, allowing for full engraftment and low toxicity. Disease control appears to be satisfactory, especially in patients with acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome. The trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov no. NCT00863148.

The role of reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma remains controversial. We retrospectively analyzed 191 patients who underwent reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation between 1998 and 2008 for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma and whose data were reported to the French registry. The median follow-up was 36 months. The estimated 3-year overall survival rate, progression-free survival rate, cumulative incidence of relapse and cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality were 63%, 39%, 46%, and 16%, respectively. There was no difference in outcome between patients in complete response and in partial response at the time of transplantation with regards to overall survival (70% versus 74%, no significant difference) and progression-free survival (51% versus 42%, no significant difference). Patients with chemoresistant disease had a shorter overall survival (39% at 3 years; P=0.0003) and progression-free survival (18% at 3 years; P=0.001) than patients in complete remission. The use of umbilical cord blood as the source of stem cells was associated with a poor outcome with an increased risk of death with a hazard ratio of 3.49 (95% confidence interval: 1.26 to 9.63; P=0.016). The use of peripheral blood was associated with a better outcome for patients who where alive 1 year after transplantation with a hazard ratio of 0.38 (95% confidence interval: 0.17 to 0.83; P=0.016). Disease status at transplantation remains the most important risk factor for outcome. Our data suggest that the use of peripheral blood should be preferred whereas umbilical cord blood should be used with caution.

Relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) still represents a major concern with poor outcomes. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of blinatumomab and donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) versus blinatumomab alone in this setting. This is a multicenter retrospective study from centers of SFGM-TC. All transplanted patients who received blinatumomab salvage therapy were included. Patients who received DLI from 1 month before to 100 days after the starting of blinatumomab were included in the blina-DLI group. Seventy-two patients were included. Medium follow-up was 38 months. Fifty received blinatumomab alone and 22 the association blinatumomab-DLI. Two-year overall survival (OS) was 31% in the blinatumomab group and 43% in the blinatumomab-DLI group (p = 0.31). Studying DLI as a time dependent variable, PFS did not significantly differ between the 2 groups (HR:0.7, 95% CI: 0.4-1.5). In multivariate analysis, DLI was not a prognostic factor for OS, progression-free survival and progression/relapse incidence. Adverse events and graft-versus-disease rates were comparable in the 2 groups. In conclusion, adding DLI between 1 month before and 100 days after start of blinatumomab is safe and does not seem to improve outcomes in B-ALL patients who relapsed after allo-HCT.

We report the results from a multicentre retrospective study of 220 adult patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) for therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia (t-AML). Median age at t-AML diagnosis was 56 years, with a prior history of haematological (45%) or breast (34%). Median time from cytotoxic exposure to t-AML diagnosis was 54.7 months. At transplant, around 20% of patients had measurable residual disease and 3% of patients were not in complete remission. The median follow-up was 21.4 months (Q1-Q3, 5.9-52.8). At 12 months, overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), and graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD)-free-relapse-free survival (GRFS) were 60.7% (95% CI 54.6-67.5), 52.8% (95% CI 46.5-68.4), and 44.1% (95% CI 37.6-51.8), respectively. At 5 years, OS, EFS, and GRFS were 44.1% (95% CI 37.4-52.1), 40.4% (95% CI 33.9-48.1), and 35.3% (95% CI 28.8-43.3), respectively. At last follow-up, 44% of patients were in complete remission (n = 96) and transplant-related mortality accounted for 21% of all deaths (n = 119). Multivariable analysis revealed that uncontrolled t-AML at transplant was associated with lower EFS (HR 1.94, 95% CI 1.0-3.7, p = 0.041). In conclusion, alloHSCT for t-AML shows encouraging results and offers additional opportunity with the emergence of novel pre-graft therapies.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains the best curative option for higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The presence of monosomal karyotype and/or complex karyotype abnormalities predicts inferior survival after allo-SCT in MDS patients. Haploidentical allo-SCT has been increasingly used in acute leukemia (AL) and has similar results as using HLA-matched donors, but data on higher-risk MDS is sparse. We compared outcomes in 266 patients with higher-risk MDS after HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD, n = 79), HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD, n = 139) and HLA haploidentical donor (HID, n = 48) from 2010 to 2019. Median donor age differed between the three groups (p < 0.001). The overall survival was significantly different between the three groups with a better OS observed in the MUD group (p = 0.014). This observation could be explained by a higher progression-free survival with MUD (p = 0.014). The cumulative incidence of grade 2-4 acute GvHD was significantly higher in the HID group (p = 0.051). However, in multivariable analysis, patients transplanted using an HID had comparable mortality to patients transplanted using a MUD (subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR]: 0.58 [0.32-1.07]; p = 0.080) and a MSD ([sHR]: 0.56 [0.28-1.11]; p = 0.094). MUD do not remain a significant positive predictor of survival, suggesting that beyond the donor-recipient HLA matching, the donor age might impact recipient outcome.

Background: Failure of gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (GI-aGvHD) to respond to steroid therapy is associated with limited further therapeutic options. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of the first-in-human use of the pooled allogeneic faecal microbiota, MaaT013, for the treatment of steroid-refractory GI-aGvHD. Methods: This prospective, international, single-arm, phase 2a study reports clinical outcomes from a 24-patient cohort with grade III-IV, steroid refractory GI-aGvHD treated with the pooled allogeneic faecal microbiota MaaT013. MaaT013 involved pooling faecal matter from 3 to 8 screened donors then transplanting the pooled batches into patients to treat GI-aGVHD. The 24 patients were treated in the HERACLES study (Aug 2018 to Nov 2020) at 26 sites in Europe and an additional 52 patients were treated in a compassionate use/expanded access program (EAP) in France (July 2018 to April 2021). The primary endpoint was GI response at day 28, defined as the proportion of patients with GI-aGvHD who had a complete response (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR). GvHD grading and staging were assessed according to the revised Glucksberg criteria. Adverse events and severe adverse events were monitored for 6 months and 12 months, respectively. The HERACLES study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03359980). Findings: Compared with single donors, MaaT013 is characterised by higher microbial richness and reduced variability across batches. At day 28 (D28), the GI-overall response rate (ORR) was 38% in the prospective population, including 5 complete responses (CR), 2 very good partial responses (VGPR) and 2 partial responses (PR). In the EAP, the GI-ORR was 58% (17 CR, 9 VGPR and 4 PR). The 12-month overall survival (OS) was 25% in the prospective study and 38% in the EAP. Regarding safety, five infectious complications, including 3 sepsis, could not be excluded from being related to the study procedure in HERACLES. Shotgun sequencing analyses of the identified strains suggest that none were found in MaaT013. In the EAP, 18 pharmacovigilance cases were reported among 52 treated patients, including 11 bacteraemia/sepsis. In HERACLES, we observed in stools from responding patients at D28 a higher microbiota richness and increased levels of beneficial bacteria, in particular butyrate producers, along with increased levels of short-chain fatty acid and bile acids. In contrast, stools from non-responding (NR) patients displayed increased levels of pathogenic pro-inflammatory bacteria along with increased systemic inflammatory parameters. Interpretation: Overall, MaaT013 was safe in this population of highly immunocompromised patients and was associated with responses in some patients with GI-aGvHD and deserves further investigation.

RESUMEN
We previously reported results of a French randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing the risk of transplantation failure (including transplant-related mortality [TRM], engraftment failure, and autologous recovery) in single and double unrelated cord blood (UCB) transplantation in children and young adults with hematologic malignancies. We concluded that single-UCB transplantation with an adequate cell dose is the standard of care, leading to a 70% two-year overall survival (OS). It remains unclear, however, whether RCT participants have better outcomes than comparable patients not treated in the setting of a clinical trial. We compared the characteristics and outcomes of RCT participants (n = 137) to a Francophone population-based registry of patients (real-world [RW] group) fulfilling the eligibility criteria used in our RCT and transplanted with 1 or 2 UCB units after a myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen between March 2015 (end of inclusion in the RCT) and February 2019 (n = 141). The primary endpoint was the 2-year cumulative incidence (CI) of transplantation strategy failure as defined in our RCT. The 2 groups were comparable in terms of age, disease distribution, hematologic status at transplantation, follow-up, and HLA compatibility. Patients in the RW group were more likely to be transplanted with a single-unit UCB (87.9% versus 49.6%, P< .001) and to receive a radiation-free regimen (39.0% versus 60.6%, P< .001). The 2-year CI of transplantation strategy failure, TRM, and the 2-year probability of OS were similar between the 2 groups, although the relapse risk was higher in the RW group (31.2% ± 7.7% versus 20.4% ± 6.8%, P= .01), resulting in a significantly lower disease-free survival (DFS) (59.2% ± 8.4% versus 69.3% ± 8.0%, P= .047). This difference remained statistically significant only in the group of patients with acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) who did not receive the conditioning regimen recommended by the RCT (fludarabine 75 mg/m2, total body irradiation 12 Gy, cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg). The results of our RCT appear to be reproducible in real-world conditions, provided that the same cord blood selection criteria and conditioning regimen are used.

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment for myelofibrosis. We report an analysis of the Société Française de Greffe de Moelle et de Thérapie Cellulaire (SFGM-TC) registry including patients with myelofibrosis transplanted between 1997 and 2008. Potential risk factors affecting engraftment, non-relapse mortality (NRM), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analysed. One hundred and forty-seven patients, aged 20-68 (median 53) years, diagnosed with primary (53%) or secondary myelofibrosis underwent HSCT; 59% of patients were transplanted from a matched sibling donor. The conditioning regimen was myeloablative in 31% of patients. Ninety percent of the patients engrafted. Factors affecting favourably engraftment were splenectomy before HSCT, human leucocyte antigen (HLA) matched sibling donor, peripheral stem cell use as source of stem cells and absence of pre-transplant thrombocytopenia. Four-year OS, PFS and NRM survival were 39% (95%confidence interval [CI]: 31-50), 32% (95%CI: 24-43) and 39% (95%CI 30-48), respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that HLA-identical sibling donor, chronic phase disease and splenectomy in men had favourable impact on OS.

Patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have a very poor prognosis. However, they may achieve long-term survival by undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). The purpose of this study was to assess the outcome of all adult patients with DLBCL whose treatment included a reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen for allogeneic SCT and whose data were reported in the French Society of Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy registry. Sixty-eight patients (median age: 48 years) were transplanted from October 1998 to January 2007. They had received a median of 2 regimens of therapy prior to allogeneic SCT, and 54 (79%) had already undergone SCT. Prior to transplantation, 32 patients (47%) were in complete remission (CR). For all patients but 1, conditioning regimens were based on fludarabine (Flu), which was combined with other chemotherapy drugs in 50 cases (74%) and with total body irradiation (TBI) in 17 (25%). For 56 patients (82%), the donor was an HLA-matched sibling, and peripheral blood was the most widely used source of stem cells (57 patients, 84%). With a median follow-up of 49 months, estimated 2-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and the cumulative incidence of relapse were 49%, 44%, and 41%, respectively. The 1-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was 23%. According to multivariate analysis, the patients in CR before transplantation had a significantly longer PFS and a lower CI of relapse than patients transplanted during partial remission or stable or progressive disease. These results suggest that reduced-intensity allergenic transplantation is an attractive therapeutic option for patients with high-risk DLBCL.

BACKGROUND: Recurrence of prior invasive fungal infection (relapse rate of 30-50%) limits the success of stem cell transplantation. Secondary prophylaxis could reduce disease burden and improve survival. DESIGN AND METHODS: A prospective, open-label, multicenter trial was conducted evaluating voriconazole (4 mg/kg/12 h intravenously or 200 mg/12 h orally) as secondary antifungal prophylaxis in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients with previous proven or probable invasive fungal infection. Voriconazole was started 48 h or more after completion of conditioning chemotherapy and was planned to be continued for 100-150 days. Patients were followed for 12 months. The primary end-point of the study was the incidence of proven or probable invasive fungal infection. RESULTS: Forty-five patients were enrolled, 41 of whom had acute leukemia. Previous invasive fungal infections were proven or probable aspergillosis (n=31), proven candidiasis (n=5) and other proven or probable infections (n=6); prior infection could not be confirmed in three patients. The median duration of voriconazole prophylaxis was 94 days. Eleven patients (24%) died within 12 months of transplantation, but only one due to systemic fungal disease. Three invasive fungal infections occurred post-transplant: two relapses (one candidemia and one fatal scedosporiosis) and one new zygomycosis in a patient with previous aspergillosis. The 1-year cumulative incidence of invasive fungal disease was 6.7±3.6%. Two patients were withdrawn from the study due to treatment-related adverse events (i.e. liver toxicity). CONCLUSIONS: Voriconazole appears to be safe and effective for secondary prophylaxis of systemic fungal infection after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The observed incidence of 6.7% (with one attributable death) is considerably lower than the relapse rate reported in historical controls, thus suggesting that voriconazole is a promising prophylactic agent in this population.

BACKGROUND: Patients with poor-risk Waldenström's macroglobulinemia have suboptimal response and early post-treatment relapse with conventional therapies. Hence, new therapeutic approaches such as allogeneic stem cell transplantation should be evaluated in these patients. DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined the long-term outcome of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia by studying the records of 24 patients reported in the SFGM-TC database and one transplanted in the bone marrow unit in Hamburg. RESULTS: Median age at the time of transplant was 48 years (range, 24-64). The patients had previously received a median of 3 lines of therapy (range, 1-6) and 44% of them had refractory disease at time of transplant. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation after myeloablative (n=12) or reduced-intensity (n=13) conditioning yielded an overall response rate of 92% and immunofixation-negative complete remission in 50% of evaluable patients. With a median follow-up of 64 months among survivors (range, 11-149 months), 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were respectively, 67% (95% CI: 46-81) and 58% (95% CI: 38-75). The 5-year estimated risk of progression was 25% (95% CI: 10-36%), with only one relapse among the 12 patients who entered complete remission, versus 5 in the 12 patients who did not. Only one of the 6 relapses occurred more than three years post-transplant. CONCLUSIONS: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation yields a high rate of complete remissions and is potentially curative in poor-risk Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
