RESUMO
Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is the curative treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome with a complex karyotype (CK-MDS). However, only a few studies have been limited to patients with CK-MDS undergoing allogeneic HCT. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for patients with CK-MDS undergoing allogeneic HCT. We included 691 patients with CK-MDS who received their first allogeneic HCT. The overall survival (OS) was the primary end-point, estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors were identified using a Cox proportional hazards model. The 3-year OS was 29.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 26.3-33.3). In the multivariable analysis, older age (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.11-1.88), male sex (HR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.11-1.71), poor haematopoietic cell transplant comorbidity index (HR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.20-1.81), red blood cell transfusion requirement (HR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.13-2.20), platelet transfusion requirement (HR: 1.85, 95% CI: 1.46-2.35), not-complete remission (HR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.16-2.06), a high number of karyotype abnormality (HR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.18-2.25) and monosomal karyotype (HR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.05-2.12) were significantly associated with OS. Thus, the 3-year OS of allogeneic HCT was 29.8% in patients with CK-MDS, and we identified risk factors associated with poor OS.

To assess the benefits of HLA-haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy-haplo) relative to those of umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), we analysed 1999 patients (PTCy-haplo, 330; UCB, 1669), using the nationwide Japanese registry. PTCy-haplo was associated with a significantly higher relapse rate, but lower non-relapse mortality, which results in overall survival and disease-free survival, comparable to those of UCB. Among patients in CR1, PTCy-haplo showed a significantly higher survival than UCB regardless of the CD34+ cell dose. Our findings provide valuable insights into the donor selection algorithm in allogeneic HSCT for adult patients with ALL.

The genetic basis of leukemogenesis in adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is largely unclear, and its clinical outcome remains unsatisfactory. This study aimed to advance the understanding of biological characteristics, improve disease stratification, and identify molecular targets of adult B-ALL. Adolescents and young adults (AYA) (15 to 39 years old, n = 193) and adults (40 to 64 years old, n = 161) with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) B-ALL were included in this study. Integrated transcriptomic and genetic analyses were used to classify the cohort into defined subtypes. Of the 323 cases included in the RNA sequencing analysis, 278 (86.1%) were classified into 18 subtypes. The ZNF384 subtype (22.6%) was the most prevalent, with 2 novel subtypes (CDX2-high and IDH1/2-mut) identified among cases not assigned to the established subtypes. The CDX2-high subtype (3.4%) was characterized by high expression of CDX2 and recurrent gain of chromosome 1q. The IDH1/2-mut subtype (1.9%) was defined by IDH1 R132C or IDH2 R140Q mutations with specific transcriptional and high-methylation profiles. Both subtypes showed poor prognosis and were considered inferior prognostic factors independent of clinical parameters. Comparison with a previously reported pediatric B-ALL cohort (n = 1003) showed that the frequencies of these subtypes were significantly higher in AYA/adults than in children. We delineated the genetic and transcriptomic landscape of adult B-ALL and identified 2 novel subtypes that predict poor disease outcomes. Our findings highlight the age-dependent distribution of subtypes, which partially accounts for the prognostic differences between adult and pediatric B-ALL.

BACKGROUND: Mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) have been widely used instead of bone marrow (BM) as the graft source for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Although early studies demonstrated no significant differences in survival between PBSC transplantation (PBSCT) and BM transplantation (BMT) from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donors to adults with hematological malignancies, recent results have been unclear. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this retrospective study was to compare overall survival (OS), relapse, non-relapse mortality (NRM), hematopoietic recovery and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) between PBSCT and BMT according to the time period of HCT (2003-2008, 2009-2014, or 2015-2020). STUDY DESIGN: We retrospectively compared the outcomes after PBSCT versus BMT in 6064 adults with hematological malignancies using a Japanese registry database between 2003 and 2020. RESULTS: The adjusted probability of OS was significantly higher in BMT recipients compared to PBSCT recipients during the early period of 2003-2008 (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70-0.91; P < 0.001) and the middle period of 2009-2014 (adjusted HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.70-0.91; P < 0.001). However, during the late period of 2015-2020, the adjusted probability of OS was comparable between BMT and PBSCT recipients (adjusted HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.79-1.13; P = 0.564), which were mainly due to the reduction of NRM. There was no significant difference in the relapse rate between the groups, irrespective of the time period. Compared to BMT, PBSCT led to faster neutrophil and platelet recovery and the cumulative incidences of grades II-IV and grades III-IV acute and overall and extensive chronic GVHD were significantly higher in PBSCT recipients, irrespective of the time period. CONCLUSIONS: PBSCT and BMT had similar survival outcomes and relapse rates in adult patients with hematological malignancies during the late time period of 2015-2020 despite the hematopoietic recovery and acute and chronic GVHD being higher in PBSCT recipients in all time periods.

BACKGROUND: Various biomarkers have been developed and evaluated to predict the prognosis and complications of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Most previous studies conducted on different biomarkers evaluated single effects such as those associated with inflammation, immunology, iron metabolism, and nutrition, and only a few studies have comprehensively analyzed markers. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to survey comprehensive multiple markers prior to HCT and extract those that significantly predict the outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective multicenter observational study was performed. (UMIN000013506) Patients undergoing HCT for hematologic diseases were consecutively enrolled. Besides the usual clinical biomarkers, serum samples for extra-clinical biomarkers were collected and cryopreserved before starting the conditioning regimen. A total of 32 candidate biomarkers were selected, 23 from hematology, biochemistry, immunology, nutrition, and iron metabolism, and 9 from composite markers. Based on the area under the curve (AUC) values for survival, promising biomarkers was extracted. Internal validation for these markers was applied based on bootstrap methods. Setting the cut-off values for them, log-rank test was applied and outcomes including overall survival (OS), relapse, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were evaluated using multivariate analyses. Furthermore, detailed analysis including transplant-related complications and external validation were conducted focusing on C-reactive protein (CRP) to platelet (Plt) ratio. RESULTS: A total of 152 patients with hematologic malignancies were enrolled from April 2014 to March 2017. CRP, soluble interleukin-2 receptor (IL2R), CRP to albumin (Alb) ratio, CRP to Plt ratio, Plt to IL2R ratio, and IL2R to Alb ratio were identified as promising markers. Internal validation successfully confirmed their reliability of AUC and multivariate analysis demonstrated the statistical significance between the higher and the lower markers. Above all, a higher CRP to Plt ratio was significantly associated with a lower OS (hazard ratio [HR] 2.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.30-5.91; P = 0.008) and higher non-relapse mortality rates (HR 2.79; 95%CI 1.14-6.80; P = 0.024) at 180 days. Furthermore, univariate analysis showed that a higher CRP to Plt ratio was significantly associated with a higher incidence of sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (P < 0.001) and bloodstream infection (P = 0.027). An external validation test confirmed the significance of the CRP to Plt ratio for these outcomes. CONCLUSION: The multicenter prospective observational study successfully identified significant biomarkers in patients with hematologic malignancies who received HCT. In particular, CRP to Plt ratio was identified as a novel and useful biomarker for predicting transplant outcomes. Further investigations are needed to validate the novel markers, analysis of the pathophysiology, and application to treatment settings other than HCT.

BACKGROUND: We conducted a retrospective study to categorize the cord blood unit (CBU)s to identify the optimal units. METHODS: A total of 8503 adults (female, n = 3592; male, n = 4911) receiving their first single cord blood transplantation (CBT) in 2000-2019 were analyzed. Factors associated with CBUs affecting overall survival (OS) and neutrophil engraftment were selected to create ranked categorization for each outcome, followed by comparison with transplantation using HLA-matched bone marrow (BMT)/peripheral blood stem cell (PBSCT) from unrelated (n = 6052) and related donors (n = 4546). RESULTS: Sex-mismatch, CD34+ cell and CFU-GM counts were selected in the OS analysis. Considering the strong interaction between sex mismatch and CD34+ cell counts, we analyzed females and males separately. For females, female CBU with CD34+ cell counts {greater than or equal to} 0.5 × 10e5/kg and CFU-GM counts {greater than or equal to} 15 × 10e3/kg offered the best OS (Group I), followed by other groups with any (Groups II-IV) or all (Group V) of the risk factors. Group I consistently showed favorable OS (Group IV: HR1.22, P = 0.027; Group V: HR1.31, P = 0.047), comparable to those of rBMT/PBSCT (OS: HR1.02, P = 0.654) and uBM/PBSCT in patients with higher rDRI (HR1.07, P = 0.353). Male patients lacked significant factors affecting OS. Categorization for neutrophil engraftment consisting of CD34+ cell and CFU-GM counts, sex-mismatch, presence of donor-specific antibodies, and the number of HLA-mismatches was effective but not predicted OS. CONCLUSION: Our ranked categorizations sufficiently predicted female OS and engraftment. The best-ranked CBUs offered preferable outcomes comparable to conventional BM/PB donors in female but not in male patients.

BACKGROUND AIMS: Pre-transplant lung dysfunction is known to be a risk factor for non-relapse mortality (NRM) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). It is unclear which cell source gives better outcomes for patients with pulmonary dysfunction. METHODS: We analyzed 3289 adult patients with standard-risk disease who had received HLA-matched allo-HCT, and compared outcomes between those who received peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) vs. bone marrow (BM) in two cohorts based on the presence of a lung score by the Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI): the Lung-scored (LS) and non-LS cohorts. RESULTS: In the LS cohort, the 2-year overall survival (OS) in the BM group tended to be higher than that in the PBSC group (72.4% vs. 61.4%; P = 0.044). In the non-LS cohort, there was no significant difference between the two groups (71.7% vs. 73.2%; P = 0.13). Multivariate analyses confirmed that PBSC was significantly associated with inferior OS in the LS cohort (hazard ratio [HR], 1.66; 95% CI, 1.09-2.54; P = 0.019). On the other hand, the cell source did not affect OS in the non-LS cohort (HR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.76-1.12; P = 0.41). We found that PBSC was associated with an increased risk of NRM in the LS cohort (HR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.16-4.05; P = 0.016), while the cell source did not significantly affect NRM in the non-LS cohort. PBSC was not identified as a risk factor for relapse in either cohort. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that BM might be beneficial for recipients with lung dysfunction in HLA-matched allo-HCT.
RESUMO
The CFA ratio, calculated using pretreatment C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, and albumin levels (CRP × fibrinogen/albumin), was previously reported to be a significant prognostic factor for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This multicenter retrospective study evaluated the prognostic value of the CFA ratio in 328 adult patients with newly diagnosed AML from April 2000 to March 2018. The median age was 49.5 years (range, 15-75 years), and 60.7% of the population were males. According to the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) risk classification, 67 patients (20.4%) were in the favorable-risk group, 197 patients (60.1%) in the intermediate-risk group, and 58 patients (17.7%) in the adverse-risk group. The median CFA ratio was 1.07 (0-67.69). Based on the calculated cutoff CFA ratio of 1.44, the cohort included 176 and 152 patients with low and high CFA ratios, respectively. At a median follow-up of 91.2 months, the 7-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 51.2% and 48.6%, respectively, in the overall cohort. The 7-year OS rates were 61.7% and 39.0% in the low and high CFA ratio groups, respectively (p < 0.001). The 7-year DFS rates were 58.1% and 37.0% in the low and high CFA ratio groups, respectively (p = 0.004). In univariate analysis, age ≥50 years, male sex, ELN risk class, and comorbidities were associated with poor OS. Age, ELN risk class, comorbidities, and high CFA ratio were associated with poor OS in multivariate analysis. Subgroup analysis revealed that the CFA ratio was significant in the intermediate and adverse ELN risk classes. These findings indicate the prognostic significance of the CFA ratio in AML.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only potential curative therapeutic modality for advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Within HCT, the advancement of cord blood transplantation (CBT) procedures has resulted in a drastic expansion of CBT as a donor source for MDS. However, data comparing matched sibling donors (MSDs) HCT with CBT for advanced MDS, which was defined as refractory anemia with an excess of blasts (RAEB)-1 and RAEB-2 according to the World Health Organization classification at the time of HCT, have not been explored. We retrospectively compared survival and other posttransplant outcomes in 999 adult patients with advanced MDS after receiving allogeneic HCT in Japan between 2011 and 2020, using either MSD (n = 331) or single-unit unrelated cord blood (UCB) (n = 668). In the multivariate analysis, there were no significant differences in overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.90-1.34; P = 0.347), disease-free survival (HR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.84-1.23; P = 0.845), relapse (HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.68-1.15; P = 0.370), or non-relapse mortality (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.87-1.50; P = 0.310) between MSD recipients and UCB recipients. UCB was significantly associated with lower neutrophil (HR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.24-0.33; P < 0.001) and lower platelet (HR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.23-0.36; P < 0.001) recovery compared to MSD. UCB was significantly associated with a lower incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.44-0.75; P < 0.001) and extensive chronic GVHD (HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.32-0.67; P < 0.001) compared to MSD. Similar results were observed after adjusting for differences between MSD and UCB recipients by propensity score matching analysis. Our study demonstrated that single CBT and MSD HCT had similar survival outcomes for adult patients with advanced MDS despite the lower hematopoietic recovery in CBT recipients and higher chronic GVHD in MSD recipients.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major infectious complication following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Although letermovir (LMV) prophylaxis dramatically reduces the incidence of early clinically significant CMV (csCMV) infection, it remains unclear whether it has a beneficial effect on nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS). Herein, we evaluated the impact of LMV prophylaxis on posttransplant outcomes using the registry database of the Japanese Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy. Adult patients who underwent allo-HCT between 2017 and 2019 were analyzed (n = 6004). LMV prophylaxis was administered to 1640 patients (LMV group) and it significantly reduced the incidence of csCMV infection compared with those not administered LMV prophylaxis (15.4% vs 54.1%; p < 0.01). However, it did not improve the 1-year NRM (hazard ratio [HR], 0.93; p = 0.40) and OS (HR, 0.96; p = 0.49). In the LMV group, 74 patients had breakthrough csCMV infection and showed inferior NRM (HR, 3.44; p < 0.01) and OS (HR, 1.93; p = 0.02) compared with those without infection. After completing LMV prophylaxis, 252 patients had late csCMV infection and showed inferior NRM (HR, 1.83; p < 0.01) and OS (HR, 1.58; p < 0.01). Our findings suggest that managing breakthrough and late csCMV infections is important for improving long-term outcomes.

Survival rates of patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL (Ph+ALL) have improved considerably with the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI); however, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) continues to play an important role. Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens have been widely applied particularly for older patients, but their validity for children and adolescents with Ph+ALL has not been investigated. In this study, data from patients receiving HSCT for de novo Ph+ALL in first or second remission at ages younger than 25 years and with a history of pre-HSCT TKI therapy were retrospectively collected through the nationwide registry in Japan. In 265 patients who received myeloablative conditioning (MAC) and 33 patients receiving RIC, 5-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) rates were 67.3% and 79.8%, respectively (p = 0.142). Multivariate analysis of LFS, focusing on patients with good performance status, identified RIC as a significant prognostic factor for LFS (hazard ratio 0.32, p = 0.032), as well as older age, higher leukocyte count at diagnosis, and disease with additional chromosomal abnormalities. These trends were similar when we focused on patients who received prophylactic post-HSCT TKI treatment, as 5-year LFS was 81.0% for MAC and 84.4% for RIC (p = 0.748). In summary, HSCT with RIC regimen showed at least comparable LFS to HSCT with MAC regimen, and RIC was an independent favorable prognostic factor on multivariate analysis adjusting potential prognostic factors. While patient numbers were limited, our data suggest that RIC may be safely applied in this group, particularly combined with prophylactic post-HSCT TKI maintenance therapy.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: ABO blood group mismatch between the donor and the recipient can affect the success of the transplant as well as problems with the red blood cells during allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). However, the impact of the Rhesus (Rh) D mismatch on transplant outcomes in allogeneic HCT has been poorly elucidated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated the impact of the RhD mismatch on post-transplant outcomes in 64,923 patients who underwent allogeneic HCT between 2000 and 2021 using a Japanese registry database. RESULTS: Out of the whole group, 64,293, 322, 270 and 38 HCTs were done when the recipient or donor was RhD-mismatched with (+/+), (-/+), (+/-) or (-/-) combinations. The difference in RhD between recipient/donor (-/+), (+/-) and (-/-) did not affect haematopoietic recovery, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), overall survival (OS), non-relapse mortality (NRM) or relapse when RhD (+/+) was used as the reference group in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: Our registry-based study demonstrated that RhD mismatch between recipient and donor did not significantly impact haematopoietic recovery, GVHD, OS, NRM or relapse after allogeneic HCT. These data suggest that RhD mismatches may not need to be avoided for recipient and donor combinations in allogeneic HCT.

Fludarabine/busulfan and fludarabine/melphalan are viable options as conditioning regimens. However, the optimal fludarabine-based conditioning in cord blood transplantation (CBT) remains unclear. Therefore, this retrospective, registry-based study aimed to analyze the impact of five fludarabine-containing conditioning regimens on 1395 adult patients (median age, 61 years) with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and chronic myeloid leukemia who underwent their first CBT. Treatment outcomes of fludarabine combined with melphalan (100-140 mg/m2 ) and low-dose total body irradiation (TBI; FM140T); melphalan (80-99 mg/m2 ) and TBI (FM80T); busulfan (12.8 mg/kg) and melphalan (FB4M); busulfan (12.8 mg/kg) and TBI (FB4T); and busulfan (6.4 mg/kg) and TBI (FB2T) were compared. The 3-year survival rate was 67%, 53%, 44%, 36%, and 39%, respectively (p < .0001). The FM140T survival rate was the most favorable after adjusting for confounders, and the hazard ratios (vs. FM140T) for overall mortality were as follows: FM80T, 1.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-2.2); FB4M, 2.1 (95% CI, 1.6-2.8); FB4T, 2.7 (95% CI, 2.0-3.7); and FB2T, 2.2 (95% CI, 1.6-3.1). The better survival observed with FM140T, regardless of the disease, disease risk, age, or transplant year, was attributed to the lower relapse rate and lower non-relapse mortality (NRM) associated with fewer infectious deaths. Conversely, FB4T was associated with a higher relapse rate and higher NRM. The findings indicate that the outcomes of CBT in myeloid malignancies were highly dependent on both the alkylating agent and its dose in combination with fludarabine. Therefore, compared with fludarabine/busulfan-based conditioning, FM140T may be the preferred regimen.

We retrospectively evaluated the effect of 17 individual comorbidities, defined by the hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT)-specific comorbidity index, on non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS) in 9531 patients aged between 16 and 70 years who underwent their first allogeneic HCT from 8/8 and 7/8 allele-matched unrelated donors (8/8 and 7/8 MUDs) or single-unit unrelated cord blood (UCB) between 2011 and 2020 using data from a Japanese registry database. In the multivariate analysis, infection (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.62, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33-1.99 for 8/8 and 7/8 MUDs; adjusted HR, 1.33, 95%CI, 1.12-1.58 for UCB) and moderate/severe hepatic comorbidity (adjusted HR, 1.57, 95%CI, 1.04-2.38 for 8/8 and 7/8 MUDs; adjusted HR, 1.53, 95%CI, 1.09-2.15 for UCB) had a significant impact on NRM in both donor groups. Cardiac comorbidity (adjusted HR, 1.40, 95%CI, 1.08-1.80), mild hepatic comorbidity (adjusted HR, 1.22, 95%CI, 1.01-1.48), rheumatologic comorbidity (adjusted HR, 1.67, 95%CI, 1.11-2.51), renal comorbidity (adjusted HR, 2.44, 95%CI, 1.46-4.09), and severe pulmonary comorbidity (adjusted HR, 1.40, 95%CI, 1.11-1.77) were significantly associated with an increased risk of NRM but only in UCB recipients. Renal comorbidity had the strongest impact on poor OS in both donor groups (adjusted HR, 1.73, 95%CI, 1.10-2.72 for 8/8 and 7/8 MUDs; adjusted HR, 2.24, 95%CI, 1.54-3.24 for UCB). Therefore, unrelated donor selection should be taken into consideration along with the presence of specific comorbidities, such as cardiac, rheumatologic, renal, mild hepatic, and severe pulmonary comorbidities.

This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) in the first complete remission (CR1) with complete molecular remission (CMR). We compared the outcomes between Ph+ALL patients who did or did not undergo allo-SCT in CR1. We included patients enrolled in the prospective clinical studies in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor era conducted by the Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group, who achieved CMR within 3 months. A total of 147 patients (allo-SCT: 101; non-SCT: 46) were eligible for this analysis. In the multivariate analyses, allo-SCT was significantly associated with both superior overall survival (OS) (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.54; 95% CI: 0.30-0.97; p = .04) and relapse-free survival (RFS) (aHR: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.12-0.38; p < .001). The 5-year adjusted OS and RFS were 73% and 70% in the allo-SCT cohort, whereas they were 50% and 20% in the non-SCT cohort. Despite the higher non-relapse mortality (aHR: 3.49; 95% CI: 1.17-10.4; p = .03), allo-SCT was significantly associated with a lower relapse rate (aHR: 0.10; 95% CI: 0.05-0.20; p < .001). In addition, allo-SCT was also associated with superior graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival (aHR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.25-0.74; p = .002). Propensity score-matched analyses confirmed the results of the multivariate analyses. In patients who achieved CMR within 3 months, allo-SCT in CR1 had superior survival and lower relapse compared with the non-SCT cohort.

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for some patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) who are refractory to chemotherapy. Cord blood transplantation (CBT) is a reasonable option in such cases because of its rapid availability. Recently, a growing number of human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical related donor HSCTs (haplo-HSCTs) have been performed, although its effectiveness remains undetermined. Using the Japanese nationwide transplantation registry data, we identified 2438 patients aged ≥16 years who received CBT or haplo-HSCT as their first transplant for non-remission AML between January 2008 and December 2018. After 2:1 propensity score matching, 918 patients in the CBT group and 459 patients in the haplo-HSCT group were selected. In this matched cohort, no significant difference in overall survival (OS) was observed between the CBT and haplo-HSCT groups (hazard ratio [HR] of haplo-HSCT to CBT 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.89-1.16). Similarly, no significant difference in the cumulative incidence of relapse (HR 1.09, 95% CI 0.93-1.28) or non-relapse mortality (HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.76-1.18). Subgroup analysis showed that CBT was significantly associated with preferable OS in patients receiving myeloablative conditioning. Our data showed comparable outcomes between haplo-HSCT and CBT recipients with non-remission AML.

To evaluate the prognostic impact of complex karyotype (CK) and/or monosomal karyotype (MK) in combination with various clinical factors on allogeneic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) outcomes of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), we analysed the registry database of adult AML patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT between 2000 and 2019 in Japan. Among 16 094 patients, those with poor cytogenetic risk (N = 3345) showed poor overall survival (OS) after HSCT (25.3% at 5 years). Multivariate analyses revealed that CK and/or MK (hazard ratio [HR], 1.31 for CK without MK; 1.27 for MK without CK; and 1.73 for both), age at HSCT ≥50 years (HR, 1.58), male sex (HR, 1.40), performance status ≥2 (HR, 1.89), HCT-CI score ≥3 (HR, 1.23), non-remission status at HSCT (HR, 2.49), and time from diagnosis to HSCT ≥3 months (HR, 1.24) independently reduced post-HSCT OS among patients with poor cytogenetic risk AML. A risk scoring system based on the multivariate analysis successfully stratified patients into five distinct groups for OS. This study confirms the negative effects of CK and MK on post-HSCT outcomes, and offers a powerful risk scoring system for predicting prognoses after HSCT among AML patients with unfavourable cytogenetics.

We previously conducted a randomized phase II trial of OCV-501, a WT1 peptide presented by helper T cells, in elderly AML (acute myeloid leukemia) patients in first remission, indicating no difference in 2-year disease-free survival (DSF) between the OCV-501 and placebo groups. Here, we analyzed 5-year outcome and biomarkers. Five-year DFS was 36.0% in the OCV-501 group (N = 52) and 33.7% in the placebo group (N = 53), with no significant difference (p = 0.74). The peripheral WT1 mRNA levels were marginally suppressed in the OCV-501 group compared with the placebo group. Enhanced anti-OCV-501 IgG response by the 25th week was an independent favorable prognostic factor. Anti-OCV-501 IFNγ responses were less frequent than the IgG reactions. These findings suggest that host immunoreactivity has a significant impact on the prognosis of AML and that further improvement of the WT1 peptide vaccine is needed.

BACKGROUND AIMS: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from female donors to male recipients (female-to-male allo-HCT) is a well-established risk factor for a greater incidence of non-relapse mortality (NRM) and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In contrast, unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) is associated with a lower incidence of chronic GVHD. In this study, survival outcomes were compared between the UCBT and unrelated female-to-male bone marrow transplantation (UFMBMT) groups. METHODS: We evaluated male allo-HCT recipients who underwent UCBT or UFMBMT between 2012 and 2020 in Japan. There were 2517 cases in the UCBT group, 456 cases in the HLA-matched UFMBMT group and 457 cases in the HLA-mismatched UFMBMT group. RESULTS: HLA-mismatched UFMBMT was significantly associated with a decreased risk of relapse (hazard ratio [HR] 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.57-0.98], P = 0.033) and HLA-matched UFMBMT had the tendency of a decreased risk of relapse (HR 0.78; 95% CI 0.61-1.01, P = 0.059). HLA-matched UFMBMT was also associated with favorable OS (HR 0.82; 95% CI 0.69-0.97, P = 0.021). The relationship between the donor sources and relapse was similarly observed in the lymphoid malignancy cohort. CONCLUSIONS: The difference of graft-versus leukemia effect by H-Y immunity according to donor sources might contribute to the difference in clinical impact. It might be desirable for patients who could sufficiently wait for donor coordination to select BMT rather than UCBT, even if only unrelated female donors are available for male recipients.

Fatal cardiac complications can occur from the early to late phases after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Herein, the Japanese transplant registry database was used to retrospectively analyze health records of 33,791 allogeneic HCT recipients to elucidate the pathogenesis and risk factors involved. Overall, 527 patients died of cardiac complications at a median of 130 (range 0-3924) days after HCT. The cumulative incidence of fatal cardiac complications was 1.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0-1.3) and 1.6% (95% CI: 1.5-1.8) at 1 and 5 years after HCT, respectively. Fatal cardiovascular events were significantly associated with an HCT-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) score of ≥1 specific to the three cardiovascular items, lower performance status, conditioning regimen cyclophosphamide dose of >120 mg/kg, and female sex. Cardiovascular death risk within 60 days after HCT was associated with the type of conditioning regimen, presence of bacterial or fungal infections at HCT, and number of blood transfusions. Contrastingly, late cardiovascular death beyond 1 year after HCT was associated with female sex and older age. Lower performance status and positive cardiovascular disease-related HCT-CI were risk factors for cardiac complications in all phases after HCT. Systematic follow-up may be necessary according to the patients' risk factors and conditions.
