RESUMO
Few studies have addressed the role of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) and non-myeloablative (NMA) regimens in older adults with Philadelphia acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL). The objective of this current study was to compare the outcomes of RIC/NMA versus TBI-based myeloablative (MAC) regimens in Ph + ALL patients older than 40 years old who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in CR1. We used a freely available database from the CIBMTR. Transplants were performed between 2013 and 2017. With a median follow-up of 37.6 months, we have included 629 patients. We used propensity score weighting. Three-year OSs were 64% in the TBI-MAC group and 66% in the RIC/NMA group. OS was not different (HR = 0.92; p = 0.69). Three-year relapse incidences were 21.6% and 27.6% in the TBI-MAC and RIC/NMA groups. RIC/NMA was not associated with an increase in relapse rate (HR 1.02; p = 0.91). Three-year NRMs were 24.3% in the TBI-MAC group and 20.3% in the RIC/NMA group. RIC/NMA was not associated with superior NRM (HR 0.88; p = 0.57). In summary, we have shown that RIC/NMA regimens achieve outcomes comparable to TBI-based MAC in Ph+ ALL older patients in CR1 who may tolerate a TBI-based MAC regimen.

BACKGROUND: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) offers curative potential to a number of older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in their first complete remission. However, there are limited data in the literature concerning post-HCT outcomes for older patients in their second complete remission (CR2). METHODS: The purpose of the current study was to retrospectively investigate within the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database parameters influencing posttransplant outcomes for patients 60 years of age or older undergoing HCT for AML in CR2. RESULTS: In total, 196 patients from 78 centers were identified; the median age was 64 years (range, 60-78 years). Seventy-one percent had a Karnofsky performance status ≥ 90 at the time of HCT. Reduced-intensity conditioning regimens were used in 159 patients (81%). A univariate analysis demonstrated a 3-year overall survival (OS) rate of 42% (95% confidence interval [CI], 35%-49%), a leukemia-free survival rate of 37% (95% CI, 30%-44%), a cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality of 25% (95% CI, 19%-32%), and a cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) of 38% (95% CI, 31%-45%). A multivariate analysis demonstrated that cytogenetic risk was the only independent risk factor for OS (P = .023) with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.14 (95% CI, 0.59-2.19) for intermediate-risk cytogenetics and an HR of 2.32 (95% CI, 1.05-5.14) for unfavorable-risk cytogenetics. For CIR, cytogenetic risk was also the only independent prognostic factor (P = .01) with an HR of 1.10 (95% CI, 0.47-2.56) for intermediate-risk cytogenetics and an HR of 2.98 (95% CI, 1.11-8.00) for unfavorable-risk cytogenetics. CONCLUSIONS: Allogeneic HCT is a curative treatment option for older patients with AML in CR2, particularly for those with favorable or intermediate cytogenetic risk.

The CIBMTR chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) risk score can be refined and improved for better prognostic stratification. Three hundred and seven consecutive patients diagnosed with cGVHD by the NIH consensus criteria were retrospectively reviewed and had the CIBMTR risk score applied and analyzed. The CIBMTR risk score was successfully validated in our cohort (n = 307). The 3-year overall survival (OS) rates in each risk group (RG) were 82.5 ± 11.3% (RG1), 79.4 ± 3.0% (RG2), 71.8 ± 6.3% (RG3), and 27.3 ± 13.4% (RG4). A significantly lower OS rate and higher non-relapse mortality (NRM) were noted in RG4 compared to the other RGs. However, there were no differences in OS or NRM among RG1 to 3. To improve prognostic stratification power of the CIBMTR risk score, we incorporated the absolute lymphocyte (ALC) and eosinophil count (EC) at time of cGVHD into the CIBMTR risk score. Lower ALC (<1.0 × 109/L, HR 1.94, p = 0.014) and lower EC (<0.5 × 109/L, HR 3.27, p = 0.014) were confirmed as adverse risk factors for OS. Patients were stratified into four revised risk groups (rRG). The 3-year OS rates were 93.3 ± 6.4% (rRG1, score 0-3), 84.9 ± 3.4% (rRG2, score 4-6), 70.9 ± 4.4% (rRG3, score 7-9), and 32.0 ± 1.1% (rRG4, score ≥ 10) (p < 0.001). The 3-year NRM rates were 0.0% (rRG1), 6.7 ± 0.4% (rRG2), 18.4 ± 0.7% (rRG3), and 57.7 ± 5.1% (rRG4) (p < 0.001). The revised CIBMTR risk score was superior to the original CIBMTR risk score for OS (p < 0.001). The revised CIBMTR risk score including ALC and EC at the onset of cGVHD improved the prognostic stratification power of the CIBMTR risk score for long-term outcomes.

The Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) is a network of 33 centers in North America that study the treatment of rare and severe primary immunodeficiency diseases. Current protocols address the natural history of patients treated for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and chronic granulomatous disease through retrospective, prospective, and cross-sectional studies. The PIDTC additionally seeks to encourage training of junior investigators, establish partnerships with European and other International colleagues, work with patient advocacy groups to promote community awareness, and conduct pilot demonstration projects. Future goals include the conduct of prospective treatment studies to determine optimal therapies for primary immunodeficiency diseases. To date, the PIDTC has funded 2 pilot projects: newborn screening for SCID in Navajo Native Americans and B-cell reconstitution in patients with SCID after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Ten junior investigators have received grant awards. The PIDTC Annual Scientific Workshop has brought together consortium members, outside speakers, patient advocacy groups, and young investigators and trainees to report progress of the protocols and discuss common interests and goals, including new scientific developments and future directions of clinical research. Here we report the progress of the PIDTC to date, highlights of the first 2 PIDTC workshops, and consideration of future consortium objectives.

NMDP recognizes that despite advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and other cell therapies, not all patients have equitable access to treatment, and disparities in outcomes remain. This paper explores the recent work of NMDP to accelerate progress and expand access to more patients through transformative clinical research, particularly in the use of mismatched unrelated donors for HSCT.

Improved treatment options, such as reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC), enable older patients to receive potentially curative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). This progress has led to increased use of older HLA-matched sibling donors. An unintended potential risk associated with older donors is transplantation of donor cells with clonal hematopoiesis (CH) into patients. We aimed to determine the prevalence of CH in older HLA-matched sibling donors pretransplantation and to assess the clinical impact of donor-engrafted CH on HCT outcomes. This was an observational study using donor peripheral blood samples from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research repository, linked with corresponding recipient outcomes. To explore engraftment efficiency and evolution of CH mutations following HCT, recipient follow-up samples available through the Bone Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (Protocol 1202) were included. Older donors and patients (both ≥55 years) receiving first RIC HCT for myeloid malignancies were eligible. DNA from archived donor blood samples was used for targeted deep sequencing to identify CH. The associations between donor CH status and recipient outcomes, including acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), chronic GVHD (cGVHD), overall survival, relapse, nonrelapse mortality, disease-free survival, composite GVHD-free and relapse-free survival, and cGVHD-free and relapse-free survival, were analyzed. A total of 299 donors were successfully sequenced to detect CH. At a variant allele frequency (VAF) ≥2%, there were 44 CH mutations in 13.7% (41 of 299) of HLA-matched sibling donors. CH mostly involved DNMT3A (n = 27; 61.4%) and TET2 (n= 9; 20.5%). Post-HCT samples from 13 recipients were also sequenced, of whom 7 had CH+ donors. All of the donor CH mutations (n = 7/7; 100%) were detected in recipients at day 56 or day 90 post-HCT. Overall, mutation VAFs remained relatively constant up to day 90 post-HCT (median change, .005; range, -.008 to .024). Doubling time analysis of recipient day 56 and day 90 data showed that donor-engrafted CH mutations initially expand then decrease to a stable VAF; germline mutations had longer doubling times than CH mutations. The cumulative incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD at day 100 was higher in HCT recipients with CH+ donors (37.5% versus 25.1%); however, the risk for aGVHD by donor CH status did not reach statistical significance (hazard ratio, 1.35; 95% confidence interval, .61 to 3.01; P = .47). There were no statistically significant differences in the cumulative incidence of cGVHD or any secondary outcomes by donor CH status. In subset analysis, the incidence of cGVHD was lower in recipients of grafts from DNMT3A CH+ donors versus donors without DNMT3A CH (34.4% versus 57%; P = .035). Donor cell leukemia was not reported in any donor-recipient pairs. CH in older HLA-matched sibling donors is relatively common and successfully engrafts and persists in recipients. In a homogenous population (myeloid malignancies, older donors and recipients, RICr, non-cyclophosphamide-containing GVHD prophylaxis), we did not detect a difference in cGVHD risk or other secondary outcomes by donor CH status. Subgroup analyses suggest potential differential effects by clinical characteristics and CH mutations. Larger prospective studies are needed to robustly determine which subsets of patients and CH mutations elicit meaningful impacts on clinical outcomes.
RESUMO
w?>Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are the preferred grafts for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), according to the CIBMTR. Donor recovery is faster with PBSC harvest, but PBSC is associated with higher chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and poorer quality of life. Anti-T-cell globulin (ATG) is polyclonal IgG from rabbits or horses immunized with human thymocytes or a human T-cell line, which may reduce GVHD in HCT and improve outcomes. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of ATG in HLA-matched related (MRD) and matched (HLA 8/8) unrelated donor (MUD) HCT. We used a freely available CIBMTR database published online for secondary analyses. The database included patients ≥ 40 years old who have undergone their first PBSC MRD or MUD HCT for acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome with or without ATG between 2008 and 2017. Patients who received posttransplant cyclophosphamide or alemtuzumab were excluded. Overall survival was not different with ATG (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-1.19; P = .06) compared with no ATG. Relapse rate was higher with ATG (HR = 1.29; 95% CI, 1.17-1.43; P < .001) and non-relapse mortality was lower with ATG (HR = 0.84; 95% CI, 0.72-0.98; P = .03). Grades II-IV acute GVHD was significantly lower with ATG (HR = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.69-0.87; P < .001) but not grades III-IV acute GVHD (HR = 0.85; 95% CI, 0.69-1.04; P = .11). Both chronic GVHD (HR = 0.54; 95% CI, 0.48-0.60; P < .001) and moderate/severe chronic GVHD (HR = 0.45; 95% CI, 0.38-0.52; P < .001) were lower with ATG. There was an interaction between ATG and conditioning regimen for relapse rate and overall survival. Relapse rate was higher in those who received reduced-intensity (RIC) or non-myeloablative (NMA) conditioning regimens and ATG, compared with MAC ± ATG or RIC without ATG (interaction test, P = .003). Overall survival was also poorer with ATG and RIC or NMA conditioning regimens (interaction test, P = .03). Our results show that ATG can mitigate the more severe forms of chronic GVHD without impairing overall survival in HLA-matched HCT with PBSC grafts and myeloablative conditioning regimen. ATG should be standard in this population. © 2023 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

BACKGROUND: Exposures to DNA-damaging drugs and ionizing radiations increase risks of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). METHODS: 9028 recipients of hematopoietic cell autotransplants (1995-2010) for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL; n = 916), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL; n = 3546) and plasma cell myeloma (PCM; n = 4566), reported to the CIBMTR, were analyzed for risk of subsequent AML or MDS. RESULTS: 335 MDS/AML cases were diagnosed posttransplant (3.7%). Variables associated with an increased risk for AML or MDS in multivariate analyses were: (1) conditioning with total body radiation versus chemotherapy alone for HL (HR = 4.0; 95% confidence interval [1.4, 11.6]) and NHL (HR = 2.5 [1.1, 2.5]); (2) ≥3 versus 1 line of chemotherapy for NHL (HR = 1.9 [1.3, 2.8]); and (3) subjects with NHL transplanted in 2005-2010 versus 1995-1999 (HR = 2.1 [1.5, 3.1]). Using Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data, we found risks for AML/MDS in HL, NHL and PCM to be 5-10 times the background rate. In contrast, relative risks were 10-50 for AML and approximately 100 for MDS in the autotransplant cohort. CONCLUSIONS: There are substantial risks of AML and MDS after autotransplants for HL, NHL and PCM.

Management of relapsed leukemia following allogeneic transplantation is challenging. Intensive chemotherapy, donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI), or second transplantation have some value, but most reported series describe only a limited number of patients surviving beyond 2 or 3 years following relapse. Additionally, understandable selection-bias of reports describing the outcomes of intensive management approaches for relapsed leukemia confound generalizability to a broader population. However numerous reports suggest that second allogeneic transplantation for relapsed leukemia following an initial transplant may produce extended disease control and survival for patients with favorable performance status, remission at the time of second transplant, and most importantly a long interval between initial transplant and relapse. Reduced intensity conditioning for second allografts may be preferable and little data exists to suggest that a new donor will improve disease control by inducing a stronger graft-versus-leukemia effect. Improved measures to prevent the first relapse, however, may protect more patients and produce a greater fraction enjoying extended leukemia-free survival.
