RESUMO

Although alternative donors extend transplant access, whether recipient ancestry affects the time to allogeneic transplant is not established. We analyzed the likelihood of clinically significant delays to allograft by patient ancestry in 313 adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) who underwent transplantation. Non-European ancestry patients (n = 99) were more likely than Europeans (n = 214) to receive HLA-mismatched donor allografts (45% vs 24%). Overall, the median time from transplant indication to allograft was 127 days (range, 57-1683). In multivariable analysis, non-Europeans had an increased risk of prolonged indication to transplant time >180 days owing to significant delays in indication to consult >90 days and consult to transplant >120 days. Compared with recipients of HLA-matched unrelated donors (URDs), HLA-mismatched adult donor recipients were at an increased risk of delayed indication to transplant, whereas HLA-identical sibling and cord blood recipients were at a lower risk. Subanalysis showed more indication to transplant delays >180 days in non-European (44%) vs European (19%) 8/8 URD recipients. Finally, the pandemic further exacerbated delays for non-Europeans. In summary, although non-European patients with AML are less likely to receive 8/8 URDs as expected, if they do, their transplants are delayed. HLA-identical siblings and cord blood facilitate the fastest transplants regardless of patient ancestry, whereas other adult donor transplants are delayed. Strategies to mitigate referral barriers, hasten donor evaluation, and use all alternative donor sources are critical to ensure timely transplantation for patients with AML.

RESUMO

Cord blood transplantation (CBT) can be complicated by a high incidence of clinically significant cytomegalovirus infection (csCMVi). We have investigated the efficacy of extended letermovir prophylaxis in seropositive adult CBT recipients. The aim was to continue prophylaxis for ≥6 months (insurance permitting). By day 100, the incidence of csCMVi was 0% in 28 patients who received letermovir prophylaxis. Moreover, of 24 patients alive at day 100, none had csCMVi by day 180, having continued prophylaxis for all (n = 20) or part (n = 4) of that period. Overall, 20 patients stopped letermovir at a median of 354 days (range, 119-455 days) posttransplant, with only 5 requiring 1 (n = 4) or 2 (n = 1) courses of valganciclovir (median total duration, 58 days; range, 12-67 days) for postprophylaxis viremia, with no subsequent csCMVi. There were no toxicities attributable to letermovir. Of the 62 historic control subjects who received acyclovir only, 51 developed csCMVi (median onset, 34 days; range, 5-74 days), for a day 100 incidence of 82% (95% confidence interval, 73-92). Seven patients developed proven/probable CMV disease, and 6 died before day 100 (3 with proven/probable CMV pneumonia). Forty-five patients required extended therapy during the first 6 months for 1 (n = 10), 2 (n = 14), or 3/persistent (n = 21) csCMVi, with 43 (84%) of 51 developing significant treatment toxicities. Letermovir is a highly effective, well-tolerated prophylaxis that mitigates CMV infection, CMV-related mortality, and antiviral therapy toxicities in CBT recipients. Our data support prophylaxis duration of at least 6 months after CBT.
