RESUMO
Adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing, which is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR) family of enzymes, ADAR1 and ADAR2, has been shown to contribute to multiple cancers. However, other than the chronic myeloid leukemia blast crisis, relatively little is known about its role in other types of hematological malignancies. Here, we found that ADAR2, but not ADAR1 and ADAR3, was specifically downregulated in the core-binding factor (CBF) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(8;21) or inv(16) translocations. In t(8;21) AML, RUNX1-driven transcription of ADAR2 was repressed by the RUNX1-ETO additional exon 9a fusion protein in a dominant-negative manner. Further functional studies confirmed that ADAR2 could suppress leukemogenesis specifically in t(8;21) and inv16 AML cells dependent on its RNA editing capability. Expression of 2 exemplary ADAR2-regulated RNA editing targets coatomer subunit α and component of oligomeric Golgi complex 3 inhibits the clonogenic growth of human t(8;21) AML cells. Our findings support a hitherto, unappreciated mechanism leading to ADAR2 dysregulation in CBF AML and highlight the functional relevance of loss of ADAR2-mediated RNA editing to CBF AML.

Omidubicel is an umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived ex vivo-expanded cellular therapy product that has demonstrated faster engraftment and fewer infections compared with unmanipulated UCB in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Although the early benefits of omidubicel have been established, long-term outcomes remain unknown. We report on a planned pooled analysis of 5 multicenter clinical trials including 105 patients with hematologic malignancies or sickle cell hemoglobinopathy who underwent omidubicel transplantation at 26 academic transplantation centers worldwide. With a median follow-up of 22 months (range, .3 to 122 months), the 3-year estimated overall survival and disease-free survival were 62.5% and 54.0%, respectively. With up to 10 years of follow-up, omidubicel showed durable trilineage hematopoiesis. Serial quantitative assessments of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD19+, CD116+CD56+, and CD123+ immune subsets revealed median counts remaining within normal ranges through up to 8 years of follow-up. Secondary graft failure occurred in 5 patients (5%) in the first year, with no late cases reported. One case of donor-derived myeloid neoplasm was reported at 40 months post-transplantation. This was also observed in a control arm patient who received only unmanipulated UCB. Overall, omidubicel demonstrated stable trilineage hematopoiesis, immune competence, and graft durability in extended follow-up.

Omidubicel is an advanced cell therapy derived from umbilical cord blood (UCB) for use in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). A recent randomized phase 3 clinical trial demonstrated faster engraftment, shorter length of hospital stays, and lower rates of infection with omidubicel compared with standard UCB transplantation in patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. Despite the proven clinical benefits of omidubicel, its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQL) from the patient's perspective has not been described. This study analyzed patient-reported HRQL measures collected prospectively in the randomized phase 3 trial comparing omidubicel to standard UCB transplantation. A total of 108 patients at 33 international stem cell transplantation centers underwent myeloablative allogeneic HCT with either omidubicel or standard UCB. Patients completed serial HRQL questionnaires at screening and on days 42, 100, 180, and 365 post-transplantation. The HRQL surveys included the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT), a 50-item cancer-specific questionnaire assessing physical, functional, emotional, social/family, and HCT-specific well-being, and the EuroQol 5-Dimension 3-Level, a 5-item generic HRQL survey. A mixed model with repeated measures was used to compare changes in HRQL from baseline in the 2 treatment arms. The average change in HRQL scores over time was compared by estimating the difference in the area under the curve (AUC) in each treatment group. Seventy-five patients (omidubicel arm, n = 37; standard UCB arm, n = 38) who completed the FACT-BMT at baseline and on 1 or more follow-up visits were included in this study. Baseline characteristics were similar in the 2 treatment arms. Over the first year post-transplantation, the AUCs of mean changes in physical, functional, and total FACT-BMT scores indicated significantly better HRQL with omidubicel (P < .05), with mean differences across time points ranging from 1.4 to 3.1 points, 1.6 to 3.2 points, and 7.2 to 11.0 points, respectively. The minimal clinically important difference was exceeded at 1 or more time points for each of these measures. The HRQL improvements with omidubicel were observed as early as 42 days post-transplantation and persisted at 1 year, indicating the potential long-term benefits of omidubicel on HRQL. Across all patients, adverse clinical outcomes, such as grade 3 viral infections and lower rates of neutrophil engraftment, were associated with worse HRQL scores. The observed improvements in HRQL measures may reflect the known clinical benefits of omidubicel. Compared with standard UCB, allogeneic HCT with omidubicel resulted in significant and clinically meaningful improvements in patient-reported HRQL measures.

Although combination therapy is the standard of care for relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (RR-NHL), combination treatment chosen for an individual patient is empirical, and response rates remain poor in individuals with chemotherapy-resistant disease. Here, we evaluate an experimental-analytic method, quadratic phenotypic optimization platform (QPOP), for prediction of patient-specific drug combination efficacy from a limited quantity of biopsied tumor samples. In this prospective study, we enrolled 71 patients with RR-NHL (39 B cell NHL and 32 NK/T cell NHL) with a median of two prior lines of treatment, at two academic hospitals in Singapore from November 2017 to August 2021. Fresh biopsies underwent ex vivo testing using a panel of 12 drugs with known efficacy against NHL to identify effective single and combination treatments. Individualized QPOP reports were generated for 67 of 75 patient samples, with a median turnaround time of 6 days from sample collection to report generation. Doublet drug combinations containing copanlisib or romidepsin were most effective against B cell NHL and NK/T cell NHL samples, respectively. Off-label QPOP-guided therapy offered at physician discretion in the absence of standard options (n = 17) resulted in five complete responses. Among patients with more than two prior lines of therapy, the rates of progressive disease were lower with QPOP-guided treatments than with conventional chemotherapy. Overall, this study shows that the identification of patient-specific drug combinations through ex vivo analysis was achievable for RR-NHL in a clinically applicable time frame. These data provide the basis for a prospective clinical trial evaluating ex vivo-guided combination therapy in RR-NHL.

BACKGROUND: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells express high levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Cetuximab is an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody that promotes natural killer (NK) cell-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) via engagement of CD16. We studied safety and efficacy of combining cetuximab with autologous expanded NK cells in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic NPC who had failed at least two prior lines of chemotherapy. METHODS: Seven subjects (six patients) received cetuximab every 3 weeks (six doses maximum) in the pre-trial phase. Autologous NK cells, expanded by co-culture with irradiated K562-mb15-41BBL cells, were then infused on the day after administration of cetuximab. Primary and secondary objectives were to determine safety of this combination therapy and to assess tumor responses, respectively. RESULTS: Median NK cell expansion from peripheral blood mononucleated cells after 10 days of culture with K562-mb15-41BBL was 274-fold (range, 36-534, n = 10), and the median expression of CD16 was 98.4% (range, 67.8-99.7%). Skin rash, the commonest side effect of cetuximab in the pre-trial phase, was not exacerbated by NK cell infusion. No intolerable side effects were observed. Stable disease was observed in four subjects and progressive disease in three subjects. Three patients who received NK cells twice had time to disease progression of 12, 13, and 19 months. CONCLUSION: NK cells with high ADCC potential can be expanded from patients with heavily pre-treated NPC. The safety profile and encouraging clinical responses observed after combining these cells with cetuximab warrant further studies of this approach. (clinicalTrials.gov NCT02507154, 23/07/2015). PRECIS: Engaging NK cell-mediated ADCC using cetuximab plus autologous NK cells in EGFR-positive NPC was well tolerated among heavily pre-treated recurrent NPC. Promising results were observed with 3 out of 7 subjects demonstrating durable stable disease.

INTRODUCTION: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and provides a target for a dendritic cell (DC) vaccine. CD137 ligand (CD137L) expressed on antigen presenting cells, costimulates CD137-expressing T cells, and reverse CD137L signaling differentiates monocytes to CD137L-DC, a type of DC, which is more potent than classical DC in stimulating T cells. METHODS: In this phase I study, patients with locally recurrent or metastatic NPC were administered CD137L-DC pulsed with EBV antigens (CD137L-DC-EBV-VAX). RESULTS: Of the 12 patients treated, 9 received full 7 vaccine doses with a mean administered cell count of 23.9 × 106 per dose. Treatment was well tolerated with only 4 cases of grade 1 related adverse events. A partial response was obtained in 1 patient, and 4 patients are still benefitting from a progression free survival (PFS) of currently 2-3 years. The mean pre-treatment neutrophil: lymphocyte ratio was 3.4 and a value of less than 3 was associated with prolonged median PFS. Progressors were characterized by a high frequency of naïve T cells but a low frequency of CD8+ effector T cells while patients with a clinical benefit (CB) had a high frequency of memory T cells. Patients with CB had lower plasma EBV DNA levels, and a reduction after vaccination. CONCLUSION: CD137L-DC-EBV-VAX was well tolerated. The use of CD137L-DC-EBV-VAX is demonstrated to be safe. Consistent results were obtained from all 12 patients, indicating that CD137L-DC-EBV-VAX induces an anti-EBV and anti-NPC immune response, and warranting further studies in patients post effective chemotherapy. PRECIS: The first clinical testing of CD137L-DC, a new type of monocyte-derived DC, finds that CD137L-DC are safe, and that they can induce an immune response against Epstein-Barr virus-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma that leads to tumor regression or prevents tumor progression.

Fedratinib, an oral Janus kinase-2 (JAK2) inhibitor, reduces splenomegaly and improves symptom burden in patients with myelofibrosis. Regulatory approval of fedratinib 400-mg daily was based on results of an updated analysis of the pivotal phase III, placebo-controlled JAKARTA trial in patients with JAK-inhibitor-naïve myelofibrosis. At week 24, spleen volume response rate was 47% and symptom response rate was 40% with fedratinib 400 mg, versus 1% and 9% respectively, with placebo. Common adverse events were diarrhoea, nausea, anaemia, and vomiting. No Wernicke encephalopathy occurred in patients receiving fedratinib 400 mg/day. These updated data support use of first-line fedratinib in patients with myelofibrosis.

Omidubicel is an ex vivo expanded hematopoietic progenitor cell and nonexpanded myeloid and lymphoid cell product derived from a single umbilical cord blood unit. We report results of a phase 3 trial to evaluate the efficacy of omidubicel compared with standard umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). Between January 2017 and January 2020, 125 patients age 13 to 65 years with hematologic malignancies were randomly assigned to omidubicel vs standard UCBT. Patients received myeloablative conditioning and prophylaxis with a calcineurin inhibitor and mycophenolate mofetil for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The primary end point was time to neutrophil engraftment. The treatment arms were well balanced and racially diverse. Median time to neutrophil engraftment was 12 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 10-14 days) for the omidubicel arm and 22 days (95% CI, 19-25 days) for the control arm (P < .001). The cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment was 96% for patients receiving omidubicel and 89% for patients receiving control transplants. The omidubicel arm had faster platelet recovery (55% vs 35% recovery by 42 days; P = .028), had a lower incidence of first grade 2 to 3 bacterial or invasive fungal infection (37% vs 57%; P = .027), and spent more time out of hospital during the first 100 days after transplant (median, 61 vs 48 days; P = .005) than controls. Differences in GVHD and survival between the 2 arms were not statistically significant. Transplantation with omidubicel results in faster hematopoietic recovery and reduces early transplant-related complications compared with standard UCBT. The results suggest that omidubicel may be considered as a new standard of care for adult patients eligible for UCBT. The trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02730299.

BACKGROUND: Patients experiencing relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL) have limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Tisagenlecleucel (TIS) has shown improved clinical outcomes, but at a high upfront cost. Singapore has a multi-payer healthcare system where private insurance is one of the major payers. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness and budget impact of TIS against salvage chemotherapy regimen (SCR) for treating r/r DLBCL patients who have failed ≥2 lines of systemic therapy from Singapore's private insurance payer's perspective. METHODS: Over a life-time horizon, a partitioned survival model with three health-states was developed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of TIS vs. SCR with or without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Efficacy inputs for TIS and SCR were based on 43 months of observation data from pooled JULIET and UPenn trials, and CORAL extension studies respectively. Direct costs for pre-treatment, treatment, adverse events, follow-up, subsequent-HSCT, relapse, and terminal care were included. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated as the total incremental costs per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained. Additionally, the financial implication of introducing TIS in Singapore from a private payer's perspective was analyzed, comparing the current treatment pathway (without TIS) with a future scenario (with TIS) over 5 years. RESULTS: Compared with SCR, TIS was the dominant option, with cost savings of S$8,477 alongside an additional gain of 2.78 QALYs in privately insured patients who shifted from private to public hospitals for TIS treatment. Scenario analyses for patients starting in public hospitals show ICERs of S$99,623 (no subsidy) and S$133,261 (50% subsidy for SCR treatment, no subsidy for TIS), supporting the base case. The projected annual budget impact ranges from S$850,000 to S$3.4 million during the first 5 years. CONCLUSIONS: TIS for treating r/r DLBCL patients who have failed ≥2 lines of systemic therapies, is likely to be cost effective with limited budget impact.

Bosutinib is approved in the United States, Europe, Japan, and other countries for treatment of newly diagnosed chronic phase (CP) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and CML resistant/intolerant to prior therapy. In the phase 3 BFORE trial (Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02130557), patients were randomized 1:1 to first-line bosutinib or imatinib 400 mg once daily. We examined efficacy, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of bosutinib vs imatinib and pharmacokinetics of bosutinib in the Asian (n = 33 vs 34) and non-Asian (n = 235 vs 234) subpopulations of BFORE followed for at least 24 months. At the data cutoff date, 72.7 vs 66.7% of Asian and 70.6 vs 66.4% of non-Asian patients remained on treatment. The major molecular response rate at 24 months favored bosutinib vs imatinib among Asian (63.6 vs 38.2%) and non-Asian (60.9 vs 52.6%) patients, as did the complete cytogenetic response rate by 24 months (86.7 vs 76.7%, 81.5 vs 76.3%). Treatment-emergent adverse events in both subpopulations were consistent with the primary BFORE results. Trough bosutinib concentration levels tended to be higher in Asian patients. Health-related quality of life was maintained after 12 months of bosutinib in both subpopulations. These results support bosutinib as a first-line treatment option in Asian patients with CP CML.

Mature T and natural killer (NK) cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (T-NHL) has a poor prognosis. Data from existing retrospective and prospective studies have suggested that high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) may improve the survival in patients with chemosensitive disease, either in the upfront or salvage setting. Auto-HCT is currently recommended to be used as frontline consolidation in peripheral T cell lymphoma not otherwise specified, angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma-anaplastic lymphoma kinase negative, NK/T cell (disseminated), and enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma. However, about one-third of patients never reach transplantation because of early relapse or refractory disease. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), via its immunologic graft-versus-lymphoma effect, has been used to salvage patients with relapsed or refractory disease, resulting in long-term disease-free survival in a fraction of patients. However, the higher risk of transplant-related mortality due to regimen-related toxicities, graft-versus-host disease, and post-transplant infectious complications continues to limit the mainstream adoption of allo-HCT for this disease. Despite that, allo-HCT has been incorporated as part of the frontline treatment for aggressive subtypes of T-NHL, such as γδ T cell lymphoma and aggressive NK cell leukemia. Recent attempts to incorporate novel targeted T cell directed therapies into the treatment pathway of T-NHL may enhance treatment response and enable more patients to reach transplant, offering an alternative means of treating this disease.

PURPOSE: Natural killer (NK) cells exert antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC). We infused expanded, activated autologous NK cells to potentiate trastuzumab-mediated ADCC in patients with HER2-positive malignancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a phase I trial, patients with treatment-refractory HER2-positive solid tumors received trastuzumab, with or without bevacizumab, and autologous NK cells expanded by 10-day coculture with K562-mb15-41BBL cells. Primary objectives included safety and recommended phase II dose determination; secondary objectives included monitoring NK-cell activity and RECIST antitumor efficacy. RESULTS: In 60 cultures with cells from 31 subjects, median NK-cell expansion from peripheral blood was 340-fold (range, 91-603). NK cells expressed high levels of CD16, the mediator of ADCC, and exerted powerful killing of trastuzumab-targeted cells. In the 22 subjects enrolled in phase I dose escalation, trastuzumab plus NK cells were well tolerated; MTD was not reached. Phase IB (n = 9) included multiple cycles of NK cells (1 × 107/kg) and addition of bevacizumab. Although no objective response was observed, 6 of 19 subjects who received at least 1 × 107/kg NK cells at cycle 1 had stable disease for ≥6 months (median, 8.8 months; range 6.0-12.0). One patient, the only one with the high-affinity F158V CD16 variant, had a partial response. Peripheral blood NK cells progressively downregulated CD16 postinfusion; paired tumor biopsies showed increased NK cells, lymphocytic infiltrates, and apoptosis posttreatment. CONCLUSIONS: NK-cell therapy in combination with trastuzumab was well tolerated, with target engagement and preliminary antitumor activity, supporting continued assessment of this approach in phase II trials.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can cause significant disease in immunocompromised patients, and treatment options are limited by toxicities. CSJ148 is a combination of two anti-HCMV human monoclonal antibodies (LJP538 and LJP539) that bind to and inhibit the functions of viral HCMV glycoprotein B (gB) and the pentameric complex, consisting of glycoproteins gH, gL, UL128, UL130, and UL131. In this phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of CSJ148 for prophylaxis of HCMV in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. As would be expected in the study population, all the patients (100%) reported at least one treatment-emergent adverse event. There were 22 deaths during this study, and over 80% of the patients receiving placebo or CSJ148 developed at least one adverse event of grade 3 or higher severity. No subject who received antibody developed a hypersensitivity- or infusion-related reaction. CSJ148-treated patients showed trends toward decreased viral load, shorter median duration of preemptive therapy, and fewer courses of preemptive therapy. However, the estimated probability that CSJ148 decreases the need for preemptive therapy compared to placebo was 69%, with a risk ratio of 0.89 and a 90% credible interval of 0.61 to 1.31. The primary efficacy endpoint was therefore not met, indicating that CSJ148 did not prevent clinically significant HCMV reactivation in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT02268526 and at EudraCT under number 2017-002047-15.).

Background: Previous studies in Western populations, using immunohistochemistry (IHC) methods to subtype diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), suggest that germinal center B-cell lymphomas (GCBs) have improved outcomes. However, data in Asians have been limited and conflicting. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic impact of cell-of-origin (COO) subtyping by IHC and Lymph2Cx in South-East Asian (SEA) DLBCL patients, and to summarize the existing literature.Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis of 384 DLBCL patients diagnosed 2013-2018 who received Rituximab-based chemotherapy was performed. Hans and Lymph2Cx were used to assign COO and correlated with outcomes.Results: International Prognostic Index (IPI) score was associated with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The 5-yr-OS for non-GCB versus GCB for COO by Hans was 70% versus 71% p=0.39, while 5-yr-OS for ABC versus GCB for COO by Lymph2Cx was 74% versus 92% p=0.19. The 5-yr-PFS for non-GCB versus GCB for COO by Hans was 65% versus 70% p=0.26, while 5-yr-PFS for ABC versus GCB for COO by Lymph2Cx was 64% versus 86% p=0.07.Conclusions: IPI is reaffirmed to be relevant in the rituximab era. COO by Hans has no prognostic significance, while subtyping by Lymph2Cx trends toward GCBs having better PFS and OS.

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a distinct clinico-pathological subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with unclear prognostic factors and limited clinical data. Optimal treatment and role for radiotherapy is not fully defined. We performed a multicenter retrospective review of 124 patients with newly diagnosed PMBCL between 2001 and 2016. Treatment regimens were R-CHOP (n = 41), R-CHOP + RT (n = 37), and DA-EPOCH-R (n = 46). 6% (n = 3) in the DA-EPOCH-R group received RT. With a median follow up of 45 months, the overall 5-year OS and PFS was 89.4% and 82.4%, respectively. The type of chemo-radiotherapy regimen, B symptoms and Ann-Arbor staging showed a significant association with OS on univariate analysis but only B symptoms remained prognostic (P = 0.012) after multivariate analysis. The chemo-radiotherapy regimen, Japanese IPI and Ann-Arbor stage was significantly associated with PFS in univariate analysis, but only chemo-radiotherapy regimen remained significant (P = 0.02) after multivariate analysis. Patients who received R-CHOP + RT or DA-EPOCH-R had better PFS than those receiving R-CHOP alone, with 5-year PFS of 90% vs 88.5% vs 56%, respectively (P = 0.02). In the subgroup analysis of patients with bulk (n = 71), R-CHOP alone (n = 21) had inferior 5-year PFS 56.6% compared to those who received R-CHOP + RT (n = 23) 91.3% or DA-EPOCH-R (n = 27) 92.6% (P = 0.007). In contrast, in patients without bulk (n = 42), there was no impact of treatment regimen on PFS (P = 0.25). In conclusion, R-CHOP + RT and DA-EPOCH-R provide excellent outcomes in patients with PMBCL. In patients with bulky disease, the use of DA-EPOCH-R may be preferable as it allows omission of RT without reduction in efficacy.

BACKGROUND: The Revised International Staging System (R-ISS) has been widely adopted to prognosticate multiple myeloma. As a result, the continued utility of conventional metaphase karyotyping has been called into question. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A multi-center study for newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma who received novel agent(s) at induction was conducted. Conventional metaphase karyotype information was categorized based on ploidy. We evaluated the impact of ploidy on overall survival (OS) including multivariate analysis, taking into account the R-ISS stages, transplant status, age, and novel agent(s) used at induction. We also evaluated if it is possible to identify high-risk (HR) patients with conventional karyotyping when a fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis is not available. Results were validated in an independent cohort. RESULTS: There were 308 patients evaluable. Ploidy significantly affected the OS of patients with R-ISS stage II, with non-hyperdiploid patients doing the worst. In the multivariate analysis, ploidy was significantly associated with OS. R-ISS stage II patients with or without non-hyperdiploid karyotype had significantly different survival. We replaced HR fluorescence in situ hybridization abnormalities with HR metaphase karyotypic abnormalities (non-hyperdiploid karyotype). When compared with R-ISS, there was a high level of concordance in HR patients identified using HR karyotypic abnormalities. These results were validated with an independent cohort of 375 patients. CONCLUSION: Conventional metaphase karyotyping is an independent prognostic factor even in the setting of R-ISS.

PURPOSE: Increasing the number of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells within an umbilical cord blood (UCB) graft shortens the time to hematopoietic recovery after UCB transplantation. In this study, we assessed the safety and efficacy of a UCB graft that was expanded ex vivo in the presence of nicotinamide and transplanted after myeloablative conditioning as a stand-alone hematopoietic stem-cell graft. METHODS: Thirty-six patients with hematologic malignancies underwent transplantation at 11 sites. RESULTS: The cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment at day 42 was 94%. Two patients experienced secondary graft failure attributable to viral infections. Hematopoietic recovery was compared with that observed in recipients of standard UCB transplantation as reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (n = 146). The median time to neutrophil recovery was 11.5 days (95% CI, 9 to 14 days) for recipients of nicotinamide-expanded UCB and 21 days (95% CI, 20 to 23 days) for the comparator ( P < .001). The median time to platelet recovery was 34 days (95% CI, 32 to 42 days) and 46 days (95% CI, 42 to 50 days) for the expanded and the comparator cohorts, respectively ( P < .001). The cumulative incidence of grade 2 to 4 acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) at day 100 was 44%, and grade 3 and 4 acute GVHD at day 100 was 11%. The cumulative incidence at 2 years of all chronic GVHD was 40%, and moderate/severe chronic GVHD was 10%. The 2-year cumulative incidences of nonrelapse mortality and relapse were 24% and 33%, respectively. The 2-year probabilities of overall and disease-free survival were 51% and 43%, respectively. CONCLUSION: UCB expanded ex vivo with nicotinamide shortens median neutrophil recovery by 9.5 days (95% CI, 7 to 12 days) and median platelet recovery by 12 days (95% CI, 3 to 16.5 days). This trial establishes feasibility, safety, and efficacy of an ex vivo expanded UCB unit as a stand-alone graft.

BACKGROUND: High dose Cyclophosphamide (Cy) and Vinorelbine Cyclophosphamide (Vino-Cy) are stem cell (SC) mobilisation options for patients with multiple myeloma (MM). We present a comparison of mobilisation outcomes using these regimens. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Vino-Cy patients received Vinorelbine 25â¯mg/m2 on day 1, cyclophosphamide 1500â¯mg/m2 on day 2, and pegylated GCSF on day 4 or GCSF 10â¯mcg/kg/day from day 4 onwards. Cy patients were given cyclophosphamide 4000â¯mg/m2 on day 1 and GCSF10â¯mcg/kg/day from day 5 onwards. The target CD34â¯+â¯SC collection was 5â¯×â¯106â¯per kg/BW. RESULTS: 149 patients were included. SC collection was lower in the Vino-Cy group (8.20â¯×â¯106/Kg BW) compared to the Cy group (11.43â¯×â¯106/Kg BW), with adjusted geometric mean ratio of 0.59 (95% CI 0.41 to 0.86, pâ¯=â¯0.006). Time taken to achieve an adequate PB SC count was shorter for Vino-Cy (9⯱â¯1â¯day compared to 12⯱â¯2â¯days for Cy, adjusted absolute mean difference -3.95, 95% CI -4.85 to -3.06, Pâ¯<â¯.001). Mobilisation related toxicities (in particular, neutropaenic fever) were greater for Cy. CONCLUSION: Vino-Cy is a potential alternative to Cy given the need for effective mobilisation protocols with acceptable toxicity.
