ABSTRACT
A toxicity-reduced conditioning regimen with treosulfan, fludarabine, and thiotepa in patients with high-risk ß-thalassemia major has significantly improved hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes. However, complications resulting from regimen-related toxicities (RRTs), mixed chimerism, and graft rejection remain a challenge. We evaluated the dose-exposure-response relationship of treosulfan and its active metabolite S, S-EBDM, in a uniform cohort of patients with ß-thalassemia major to identify whether therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and dose adjustment of treosulfan is feasible. Plasma treosulfan/S, S-EBDM levels were measured in 77 patients using a validated liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method, and the pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using nlmixr2. The influence of treosulfan and S, S-EBDM exposure, and GSTA1/NQO1 polymorphisms on graft rejection, RRTs, chimerism status, and 1-year overall survival (OS), and thalassemia-free survival (TFS) were assessed. We observed that treosulfan exposure was lower in patients with graft rejection than those without (1,655 vs. 2,037 mgâ¢h/L, P = 0.07). Pharmacodynamic modeling analysis to identify therapeutic cutoff revealed that treosulfan exposure ≥1,660 mgâ¢hour/L was significantly associated with better 1-year TFS (97% vs. 81%, P = 0.02) and a trend to better 1-year OS (90% vs. 69%, P = 0.07). Further, multivariate analysis adjusting for known pre-HCT risk factors also revealed treosulfan exposure <1,660 mgâ¢h/L (hazard ratio (HR) = 3.23; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.12-9.34; P = 0.03) and GSTA1*B variant genotype (HR = 3.75; 95% CI = 1.04-13.47; P = 0.04) to be independent predictors for inferior 1-year TFS. We conclude that lower treosulfan exposure increases the risk of graft rejection and early transplant-related mortality affecting TFS. As no RRTs were observed with increasing treosulfan exposure, TDM-based dose adjustment could be feasible and beneficial.
