ABSTRACT
The use of HLA-mismatched donors could enable more patients with ethnically diverse backgrounds to receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in the United States. However, real-world trends and outcomes following mismatched donor HCT for diverse patients remain largely undefined. We conducted this study to determine whether the use of mismatched donor platforms have increased the access to allogeneic HCT for ethnically diverse patients, particularly through the application of novel graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimens, and whether outcomes for diverse patients are comparable to those of non-Hispanic White patients. This observational cross-sectional study used real-world data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) registry. All patients receiving their first allogeneic HCT in the United States between 2009 and 2020 were included, with a focus on transplantations performed in 2020. Data from patients undergoing allogeneic HCT using bone marrow, peripheral blood, or cord blood from HLA-matched or mismatched related and unrelated donors were analyzed. Specifically, relative proportion of allogeneic HCT was generated as percentage of total for donor type and for patient age, disease indication, GVHD prophylaxis, and race and ethnicity. Causes of death were summarized using frequencies, and the Kaplan-Meier estimator was used for estimating overall survival. Compared to matched related donor and matched unrelated donor HCT, more ethnically diverse patients received mismatched unrelated donor, haploidentical donor, and cord blood HCT. Although matched unrelated donor remains the most common donor type, the use of haploidentical donors has increased significantly over the last 5 years. Paralleling this increase in haploidentical HCT is the increased use of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) as GVHD prophylaxis. Relative to previous transplantation eras, the most contemporary era is associated with the highest survival rates following allogeneic HCT irrespective of patient race and ethnicity. Nonetheless, disease relapse remains the primary cause of death for both adult and pediatric allogeneic HCT recipients by donor type and across all patient racial/ethnic groups. Ethnically diverse patients are undergoing allogeneic HCT at higher rates, largely through the use of alternative donor platforms incorporating PTCy. Maintaining access to potential life-saving allogeneic HCT using alternative donors and novel GVHD prophylaxis strategies and improving HCT outcomes, particularly disease relapse, remain urgent clinical needs.
