Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate longitudinally corneal endothelial cell changes in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and to further investigate possible correlations with hematological and ocular characteristics. METHODS Prospective observational study conducted at a single center. All patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological examination, before and after HSCT, including slitlamp examination, Schirmer test, tear breakup time, ocular surface staining, specular microscopy of corneal endothelium, and Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire. RESULTS Twenty-five patients undergoing HSCT and 25 age- and sex-matched controls were included. At baseline, hematological patients showed significantly lower values of endothelial cell density (ECD) compared with those of controls (2514.5 ± 390.2 vs. 2723.7 ± 298.0 cells/mm, P = 0.038). After HSCT, ocular surface disease index score significantly increased (P = 0.020) and tear breakup time significantly decreased (P = 0.036). Conversely, no significant changes were found in Schirmer test and corneal fluorescein staining (always P > 0.05). Eight patients (32%) developed ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). ECD values significantly decreased after HSCT (from 2514.5 ± 390.2 to 2409.5 ± 330.9 cells/mm, P = 0.009). The decrease in ECD values after HSCT was more pronounced in patients with ocular GVHD compared with those without (231.1 ± 188.8 vs. 45.6 ± 156.5, P = 0.016). No significant correlations between the changes in ECD and hematological and ocular characteristics were found (always P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Hematological patients showed a lower endothelial cell count already before HSCT, compared with controls. After HSCT, the endothelial cell count further significantly decreased, particularly in patients who developed ocular GVHD.

Abstract
Veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) is a potentially life-threatening complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation. Early diagnosis and, subsequently, earlier intervention have been shown to be beneficial to clinical outcomes. Diagnostic criteria from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation include recommendations on the use of imaging for diagnosis. This review discusses evidence on the use of imaging in the management of VOD/SOS and how imaging biomarkers can contribute to earlier diagnosis/treatment.

Abstract
This collaborative initiative aimed to provide recommendations on the use of polyclonal antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or anti-T lymphocyte globulin (ATLG) for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). A comprehensive review of articles released up to October, 2018 was performed as a source of scientific evidence. Fourteen clinically relevant key questions to the domains indication, administration, and post-transplant management were developed and recommendations were produced using the Delphi technique involving a Panel of 14 experts. ATG/ATLG was strongly recommended as part of myeloablative conditioning regimen prior to matched or mismatched unrelated bone marrow or peripheral blood allogeneic HSCT in malignant diseases to prevent severe acute and chronic GvHD. ATG/ATLG was also recommended prior to HLA-identical sibling peripheral HSCT with good but lesser bulk of evidence. In reduced intensity or nonmyeloablative conditioning regimens, ATG/ATLG was deemed appropriate to reduce the incidence of acute and chronic GvHD, but a higher risk of relapse should be taken into account. Recommendations regarding dose, application, and premedication were also provided as well as post-transplant infectious prophylaxis and vaccination. Overall, these recommendations can be used for a proper and safe application of polyclonal ATG/ATLG to prevent GvHD after allogeneic HSCT.

Abstract
We conducted a phase I-II study to evaluate Nilotinib (NIL) safety and pharmacokinetics in 22 SR-cGVHD patients; we also evaluated ORR by using in parallel NIH criteria and an exploratory approach, combining objective improvement (OI) without failure criteria (GITMO criteria). Results: 22 patients were enrolled. After dose escalation up to 600 mg/day, MTD was not reached. Main toxicities were asthenia, headache, nausea, pruritus, cramps, and mild anemia. Mean and median plasma concentrations of NIL (C-NIL) were 817 (SD ± 450) and 773 ng/ml. ORR at 6 months, according to 2005 and 2014 NIH and GITMO criteria were 27.8%, 22.2%, and 55.6% respectively; close correspondence has been observed for ORR, according to 2014 NIH criteria, both assessed in a conventional way and assisted by dedicated software (CROSY). At 48 months OS was 75% while FFS, according to NIH and GITMO criteria, was 30 and 25%. In conclusion the safety profile of NIL and long-term outcome makes NIL an attractive option in SR-cGVHD. Exploratory GITMO criteria could represent an alternative tool for easy response evaluation in patients with prevalent skin and lung involvement, but require validation in a larger population; CROSY software showed excellent reliability in capturing ORR according to the 2014 NIH criteria.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a rare complication characterized by hepatomegaly, right-upper quadrant pain, jaundice, and ascites, occurring after high-dose chemotherapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and, less commonly, other conditions. We review pathogenesis, clinical appearance and diagnostic criteria, risk factors, prophylaxis, and treatment of the VOD occurring post-HSCT. The injury of the sinusoidal endothelial cells with loss of wall integrity and sinusoidal obstruction is the basis of development of postsinusoidal portal hypertension responsible for clinical syndrome. Risk factors associated with the onset of VOD and diagnostic tools have been recently updated both in the pediatric and adult settings and here are reported. Treatment includes supportive care, intensive management, and specific drug therapy with defibrotide. Because of its severity, particularly in VOD with associated multiorgan disease, prophylaxis approaches are under investigation. During the last years, decreased mortality associated to VOD/SOS has been reported being it attributable to a better intensive and multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract
In many healthcare settings, benchmarking for complex procedures has become a mandatory requirement by competent authorities, regulators, payers and patients to assure clinical performance, cost-effectiveness and safe care of patients. In several countries inside and outside Europe, benchmarking systems have been established for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but access is not universal. As benchmarking is now integrated into the FACT-JACIE standards, the EBMT and JACIE established a Clinical Outcomes Group (COG) to develop and introduce a universal system accessible across EBMT members. Established systems from seven European countries (United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland), USA and Australia were appraised, revealing similarities in process, but wide variations in selection criteria and statistical methods. In tandem, the COG developed the first phase of a bespoke risk-adapted international benchmarking model for one-year survival following allogeneic and autologous HSCT based on current capabilities within the EBMT registry core dataset. Data completeness, which has a critical impact on validity of centre comparisons, is also assessed. Ongoing development will include further scientific validation of the model, incorporation of further variables (when appropriate) alongside implementation of systems for clinically meaningful interpretation and governance aiming to maximise acceptance to centres, clinicians, payers and patients across EBMT.

Abstract
Across eukaryotes, ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci are characterized by intrinsic genomic instability due to their repetitive nature and their base composition that facilitate DNA double strand breaks and RNA:DNA hybrids formation. In the yeast, ribosomal DNA instability affects lifespan via the formation of extrachromosomal rDNA circles (ERC) that accrue into aged cells. In humans, rDNA instability has long been reported in a variety of progeric syndromes caused by the dysfunction of DNA helicases, but its role in physiological aging and longevity still needs to be clarified. Here we propose that rDNA instability leads to the activation of innate immunity and inflammation via the interaction with the cytoplasmic DNA sensing machinery. Owing to the recent clarified role of cytoplasmic DNA in the pro-inflammatory phenotype of senescent cells, we hypothesize that the accrual of rDNA derived molecules (i.e. ERC and RNA:DNA hybrids) may have a role in aging by contributing to inflammaging i.e. the systemic pro-inflammatory drift that associates with the onset of geriatric syndromes and age related dysfunctions in humans.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is one of the most serious complications post haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The diagnosis of SOS is clinical, but nurses should be involved in the pre-transplant risk assessment period and play a crucial role in the early detection of signs and symptoms during and after hospitalization. The aim of this work is to achieve a consensus on nurses' behaviour in caring for SOS. METHODS On behalf of the Italian Group for Bone and Marrow Transplantation (GITMO), a promoter committee was established to put in place a consensus conference approach. A multidisciplinary group of GITMO together with four nurses, three haematology physicians and one patient representative acted as jury, who reviewed the reports and wrote recommendations and suggestions. Recommendations gaining 100% of consensus were considered 'Golden Points of Care'; if a consensus was achieved by ≥ 75% of the jury's members, those recommendations were defined as 'Good Practices'. RESULTS Eighteen papers written by nurses as first authors have been identified. Golden Points of Care and Good Practices were worked out for the following topics: nurses' role in general, nurses' role in pre-transplant assessment, pre-transplant risk assessment and risk stratification, baseline monitoring, suspected mild or moderate SOS, suspected severe or very severe SOS and late-onset cases. CONCLUSION SOS is relatively rare; therefore, a holistic approach to the patients' needs considering nursing role as essential may result in better care outcomes.

Abstract
A survey within hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) centers of the Gruppo Italiano Trapianto Midollo Osseo (GITMO) was performed in order to describe current antiemetic prophylaxis in patients undergoing HSCT. The multicenter survey was performed by a questionnaire, covering the main areas on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV): antiemetic prophylaxis guidelines used, antiemetic prophylaxis in different conditioning regimens, and methods of CINV evaluation. The survey was carried out in November 2016, and it was repeated 6 months after the publication of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC)/European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) specific guidelines on antiemetic prophylaxis in HSCT. The results show a remarkable heterogeneity of prophylaxis among the various centers and a significant difference between the guidelines and the clinical practice. In the main conditioning regimens, the combination of a serotonin3 receptor antagonist (5-HT3-RA) with dexamethasone and neurokin1 receptor antagonist (NK1-RA), as recommended by MASCC/ESMO guidelines, increased from 0 to 15% (before the publication of the guidelines) to 9-30% (after the publication of the guidelines). This study shows a lack of compliance with specific antiemetic guidelines, resulting mainly in under-prophylaxis. Concerted strategies are required to improve the current CINV prophylaxis, to draft shared common guidelines, and to increase the knowledge and the adherence to the current recommendations for CINV prophylaxis in the specific field of HSCT.

Abstract
Importance Use of haploidentical (HAPLO) stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide is rapidly increasing in adults with hematologic cancers. However, its specific role compared with other transplant strategies has yet to be identified. Objective To synthesize the existing evidence regarding outcomes of stem cell transplantations comparing HAPLO stem cell transplantation and posttransplant cyclophosphamide therapy with transplantations from matched related donors (MRDs), matched unrelated donors (MUDs), or mismatched unrelated donors (MMUDs). Data Sources PubMed, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and meeting abstracts were searched for the key words haploidentical and cyclophosphamide from inception through March 1, 2019. Study Selection Studies comparing HAPLO stem cell transplantation and posttransplant cyclophosphamide therapy with transplantations from other donors in adults with hematologic cancers were eligible for meta-analysis. Data Extraction and Synthesis Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were calculated using a random-effects model. Main Outcomes and Measures Main outcomes were all-cause mortality, nonrelapse mortality, and relapse. Results A total of 30 studies including 22 974 participants were analyzed. HAPLO stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide therapy was associated with increased all-cause mortality compared with MRDs (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.05-1.30), similar all-cause mortality compared with MUDs (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.96-1.18), and reduced all-cause mortality compared with MMUDs (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.61-0.92). Regarding nonrelapse mortality, HAPLO stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide was associated with worse outcomes compared with MRDs (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.04-1.40) but better outcomes compared with MUDs (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.61-0.92) and MMUDs (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.25-1.02). In terms of relapse, HAPLO stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide was associated with similar outcome compared with MRDs (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.86-1.17) and MMUDs (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.77-1.47) but showed increased relapse compared with MUDs (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.03-1.40). Conclusions and Relevance Results of this meta-analysis suggest that MRDs, if available, remain the optimal donors regarding mortality and HAPLO stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide may be preferred over MMUDs. Prospective comparisons with MUDs are needed.

Abstract
Saprochaete clavata is a rare cause of fungaemia with deep organ involvement in patients with haematological malignancies with reported mortality rates of 60%-80%. We describe four cases of S clavata infection in a haematology unit over several months that were treated with voriconazole-based regimens. We also review the literature on factors that could contribute to earlier recognition and effective treatment of S clavata. We included all cases of culture-positive S clavata from sterile sites with associated signs of infection in patients undergoing treatment for a haematological malignancy. Isolates were identified by MALDI-TOF MS, and spectrum profiles were used to prepare clustering analysis of isolates. Susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial microtitre methods. Saprochaete clavata was isolated from the bloodstream in three cases and bronchial alveolar lavage (BAL) fluid in one case. Clustering analysis suggested strains of S clavata were clonal without evidence of divergence although a common source was not identified. Susceptibility testing yielded elevated MICs to fluconazole (8 mg/L) and echinocandins (>1-8 mg/L). All patients were treated with voriconazole-based regimens resulting in survival of 3/4 patients, who continued chemotherapy for their underlying malignancy without evidence of relapse. Saprochaete clavata is a rare but aggressive cause of breakthrough yeast infection in patients undergoing treatment for haematological malignancies, particularly patients with a prior history of echinocandin treatment. Timely initiation of appropriate treatment, aided by more rapid identification in microbiology laboratory, can reduce the risk of deep organ dissemination and patient death.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify which factors can influence the patients' perception of protective isolation following Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). METHODS This is a prospective study conducted in 10 Italian centres, members of the Italian Group of stem cell transplant (GITMO). Patients' perception of protective isolation was assessed using the ISOLA scale between 7 and 9 days post-transplant. Statistical linear regression analysis was performed. RESULTS The participants were 182 adult patients receiving autologous (48%) or allogeneic (52%) HSCT in protective isolation. Male sex (β = .152), education level (β = -.245), double room (β = .186), satisfaction with visiting hours (β = -.174) and emotional support from nurses (β = -.169) were independently associated with isolation-related suffering. Significant predictors of the relationship with oneself included body temperature (β = -.179), fatigue (β = -.192) and emotional support from nurses (β = -.292). Factors independently associated with the relationship with others were education (β = -.230), chemotherapy cycles (β = -.218), pain (β = .150) and satisfaction with visiting hours (β = -.162). CONCLUSION Healthcare providers should pay greater attention in caring for those patients who are at risk for a negative isolation experience. Nurses should provide emotional support.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and solid organ transplantation (SOT) recipients. In view of the uncertainties on the assessment and prevention of CMV infection in both transplant procedures, three Italian scientific societies for HSCT and SOT and for Clinical Microbiology appointed a panel of experts to compose a framework of recommendations. Recommendations were derived from a comprehensive analysis of the scientific literature and from a multidisciplinary consensus conference process. The lack of adequate clinical trials focused on certain diagnostic procedures, and antiviral intervention forced the panel to use the methods of consensus for shaping some recommendations. Recommendations concerning the two types of transplant were given for the following issues: assessment of pretransplant CMV serostatus, immunological monitoring after transplant, CMV prophylaxis with antivirals, CMV preemptive strategy, and CMV prophylaxis with immunoglobulin infusion and with adoptive immunotherapy. The questions raised by and the recommendations resulting from this consensus conference project may contribute to the improvement of certain crucial aspects of the management of CMV infections in allo-HSCT and in SOT populations.

Abstract
Veno-occlusive-disease (VOD), known also as sinusoidal-obstruction-syndrome (SOS), is one of the main complications of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and is related to the treatment with pyrrolizidine alkaloids or other toxic agents (chemotherapy for liver-metastasis). Clinical diagnosis using the recent criteria from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, is the reference for VOD/SOS diagnosis. However, increasing evidence suggests the emerging role of several imaging methods that could help the clinician in VOD/SOS assessment. Areas covered: This review evaluates the current literature on the various imaging techniques used in VOD/SOS diagnosis in several clinical scenarios. Literature searches were performed using several keywords on MEDLINE/Ovid/In-Process/Cochrane Library/EMBASE and PubMed up to July 2018. Expert commentary: Hepatic-gradient-measurement (HVPG) and contextual transjugular-liver-biopsy are invasive and should always be considered in unclear cases. The main studies revolve around ultrasound with Doppler evaluation, identifying numerous findings suggestive of VOD/SOS. However, their accuracy and validation are still suboptimal and controversial. CT-Scan and MRI have shown encouraging data in other contexts in which VOD/SOS can develop, but studies on the post-HSCT patient are lacking. Elastography techniques measuring liver stiffness (LSM) represent the most recent and promising approach for an accurate and early diagnosis of VOD/SOS. In our view, a multidisciplinary approach to the VOD/SOS diagnosis should be highly encouraged.

Abstract
Eltrombopag (ELT), an oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist, has recently emerged as a promising new drug for the treatment of aplastic anemia (AA). How ELT is used outside of clinical trials in the real-world setting and results of this treatment are not known. We conducted therefore a retrospective survey on the use of ELT in AA among EBMT member centers. We analyzed the 134 patients reported in our survey together with 46 patients recently published by Lengline et al. The median follow-up from start of ELT treatment was 15.3 months, with 85.6% patients alive at last follow-up. Importantly, only 28.9% of our patients received ELT according to the FDA/EMA label as monotherapy in the relapsed/refractory setting, whereas 16.7% received ELT upfront. The overall response rate in our cohort was 62%, very similar to the results of the pivotal ELT trial. In multivariate analysis, combination therapy with ELT/cyclosporine/ATG and response to previous therapy were associated with response. Overall survival was favorable with a 1-year survival from ELT start of 87.4%. We identified age, AA severity before ELT start and response to ELT as variables significantly associated with OS. Two patients transformed to MDS; other adverse events were mostly benign. In sum, ELT is used widely in Europe to treat AA patients, mostly in the relapsed/refractory setting. Response to ELT is similar to the clinical trial data across different age groups, treatment lines, and treatment combinations and results in favorable survival.

Abstract
Veno-occlusive disease (VOD), also known as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), is a life-threatening complication affecting patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The survival rate is higher when specific therapy is initiated early; thus, improving early, noninvasive diagnosis of VOD/SOS is an important need. In an adult population undergoing HSCT, we aimed to assess the role of liver stiffness measurement (LSM), evaluated by transient elastography (TE), for diagnosing VOD/SOS. Between April 2016 and March 2018, 78 consecutive adult patients with indications for allogeneic HSCT were prospectively included. LSM was performed before HSCT and at days +9/10, +15/17, and +22/24 post-HSCT. New European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria were used to establish VOD/SOS diagnosis. Four patients developed VOD/SOS (5.1%) during the study period, with a median time of +17 days post-HSCT. A sudden increase in LSM compared with previously assessed values and pre-HSCT values, was seen in all patients who developed VOD/SOS. LSM increases occurred from 2 to 12 days before clinical SOS/VOD appearance. The VOD/SOS diagnostic performance of increased LSM over pre-HSCT assessment showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.997 (sensitivity 75%; specificity 98.7%). LSM gradually decreased following successful VOD/SOS-specific treatment. Interestingly, LSM values did not increase significantly in patients experiencing hepatobiliary complications (according to the Common Terminology Criteria) other than VOD/SOS. LSM by TE can be considered a promising method to perform an early, preclinical diagnosis and follow-up of VOD/SOS.

Abstract
We report a randomized study comparing fludarabine in combination with busulfan (FB) or thiotepa (FT), as conditioning regimen for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with myelofibrosis. The primary study endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Sixty patients were enrolled with a median age of 56 years and an intermediate-2 or high-risk score in 65%, according to the Dynamic International Prognostic Staging System (DIPSS). Donors were HLA-identical sibling (n = 25), matched unrelated (n = 25) or single allele mismatched unrelated (n = 10). With a median follow-up of 22 months (range, 1 to 68 months), outcomes at 2 years after HSCT in the FB arm versus the FT arm were as follows: PFS, 43% versus 55% (P = .28); overall survival (OS), 54% versus 70% (P = .17); relapse/progression, 36% versus 24% (P = .24); nonrelapse mortality (NRM), 21% in both arms (P = .99); and graft failure, 14% versus 10% (P = .96). A better PFS was observed in patients with intermediate-1 DIPSS score (P = .03). Both neutrophil engraftment and platelet engraftment were significantly influenced by previous splenectomy (hazard ratio [HR], 2.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16 to 4.51; P = .02) and splenomegaly at transplantation (HR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.27 to 0.94; P = .03). In conclusion, the clinical outcome after HSCT was comparable when using either a busulfan or thiotepa based conditioning regimen.

Abstract
Busulfan plus cyclophosphamide (BuCy) is the traditional conditioning regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) for young, fit patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The thiotepa-busulfan-fludarabine (TBF) protocol has recently demonstrated promising outcome in cord blood and haploidentical SCT; however, there is limited evidence about this regimen in transplant from matched siblings (MSD) and unrelated donors (UD). We retrospectively compared outcomes of 2523 patients aged 18-50 with AML in remission, undergoing transplant from MSD or UD prepared with either TBF or BuCy conditioning. A 1:3 pair-matched analysis was performed: 146 patients receiving TBF were compared with 438 patients receiving BuCy. Relapse risk was significantly lower in the TBF when compared with BuCy group (HR 0.6, P = .02), while NRM did not differ. No significant difference was observed in LFS and OS between the two regimens. TBF was associated with a trend towards higher risk of grades III-IV aGVHD (HR 1.8, P = .06) and inferior cGVHD (HR 0.7, P = .04) when compared with BuCy. In patients undergoing transplant in first remission, the advantage for TBF in terms of relapse was more evident (HR 0.4, P = .02), leading to a trend for better LFS in favor of TBF (HR 0.7, P = .10), while OS did not differ between the two cohorts. In conclusion, TBF represents a valid myeloablative conditioning regimen providing significantly lower relapse and similar survival when compared with BuCy. Patients in first remission appear to gain the most from this protocol, as in this subgroup a tendency for better LFS was observed when compared with BuCy.

Abstract
Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) represents a valid option for patients with hematopoietic malignancies lacking an HLA matched donor. To overcome the limitation of the low stem cell dose of UCB, the intrabone (IB) route has been proposed. We report the results of a prospective study on a poor-prognosis cohort of 23 patients receiving intrabone single UCB transplant (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT00886522). Cumulative incidence of hematological recovery at day 90 was 82 ± 9% (ANC > 0.5 × 109/L) and 70 ± 10% (platelet > 50 × 109/L) and correlated with CD34 + cells in the graft. NRM was 20 ± 9%. No severe aGVHD and only one extensive cGVHD occurred, with fast immune reconstitution. To test the hypothesis that the direct IB injection could affect the expression of stem cells regulatory pathways, CD34 + cells from BM aspirates at day + 10, + 20, + 30, processed in hypoxic conditions mimicking the BM-microenvironment (7%pO2), were studied for the expression of c-Mpl, Notch1 and CXCR4. We found that the expression of c-Mpl in CD34 + cells at day + 10 significantly correlated with hematological recovery. In conclusion, IB-UCB transplant success is associated with low incidence of GVHD and high-speed platelet recovery; intrabone route may preserve full hematopoietic stemness by direct delivery of UCB stem cells into the hypoxic HSC niche.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the proportion and the agreement rate in the diagnosis of chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) among three criteria applied with and without ophthalmological examination before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS National Institutes of Health (NIH), International Consensus Criteria on ocular GVHD (ICCGVHD) and TFOS Dry Eye Workshop (DEWS) II criteria were used for the diagnosis of ocular GVHD according to two protocols: ophthalmological examination after HSCT (Protocol A), or before and after HSCT (Protocol B). Proportion of GVHD diagnosis and inter-rate agreement coefficient Kappa (K) among the criteria were calculated. RESULTS One hundred nine patients undergone HSCT were included. NIH, ICCGVHD and DEWS II criteria diagnosed ocular GVHD in 14.7%, 17.4% and 59.6% of the patients (Protocol A), whereas in 11.9%, 15.6% and 33.0% of the HSCT patients (Protocol B). The coefficient K for the proportion of patients diagnosed with ocular GVHD by NIH and ICCGVHD criteria was K = 0.626 (Protocol A) and K = 0.615 (Protocol B). The K coefficient by NIH and DEWS II criteria was K = 0.144 (Protocol A), and K = 0.233 (Protocol B). The K coefficient by ICCGVHD and DEWS II criteria was K = 0.250 (Protocol A) and K = 0.499 (Protocol B). The K coefficient for ocular GVHD diagnosis applying Protocol A and B was K = 0.881 if NIH criteria were used, K = 0.933 if ICCGVHD criteria were used and K = 0.501 if DEWS II criteria were used. CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of ocular GVHD varied significantly in our cohort of hematological patients according to both the diagnostic criteria used and the visit protocols applied.

Abstract
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is an alternative for patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), but only limited data on unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) are available. We analyzed 131 adults with HL who underwent UCBT in European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation centers from 2003 to 2015. Disease status at UCBT was complete remission (CR) in 59 patients (47%), and almost all patients had received a previous autologous stem cell transplantation. The 4-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 26% (95% confidence interval [CI], 19% to 34%) and 46% (95% CI, 37% to 55%), respectively. Relapse incidence was 44% (95% CI, 36% to 54%), and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was 31% (95% CI, 23% to 40%) at 4 years. In multivariate analysis refractory/relapsed disease status at UCBT was associated with increased relapse incidence (hazard ratio [HR], 3.14 [95% CI, 1.41 to 7.00], P = .005) and NRM (HR, 3.61 [95% CI, 1.58 to 8.27], P = .002) and lower PFS (HR, 3.45 [95% CI, 1.95 to 6.10], P < .001) and OS (HR, 3.10 [95% CI, 1.60 to 5.99], P = .001). Conditioning regimen with cyclophosphamide + fludarabine + 2 Gy total body irradiation (Cy+Flu+2GyTBI) was associated with decreased risk of NRM (HR, .26 [95% CI, .10 to .64], P = .004). Moreover, Cy+Flu+2GyTBI conditioning regimen was associated with a better OS (HR, .25 [95% CI, .12 to .50], P < .001) and PFS (HR, .51 [95% CI, .27 to .96], P = .04). UCBT is feasible in heavily pretreated patients with HL. The reduced-intensity conditioning regimen with Cy+Flu+2GyTBI is associated with a better OS and NRM. However, outcomes are poor in patients not in CR at UCBT.

Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a major complication after stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Several randomized studies already demonstrated that anti-T lymphoglobulin (ATLG) is effective in preventing GVHD after myeloablative unrelated and HLA-identical sibling transplants. However, the issue of doses and the potential increase of relapses still remain unsolved. Here we report data on 190 patients with acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome who underwent an unrelated HSCT with low-dose ATLG (15 to 30 mg/kg) given at an earlier timing (days -6 to -2). HSCT was performed from HLA 10/10 (n = 62, 33%), 9/10 (n = 91, 48%), 8/10 (n = 30, 16%), and <8/10 (n = 7, 4%) identical unrelated donor. Peripheral blood was the stem cell source in 42% (n = 80). Median follow-up was 51 months. Grades II to IV and III to IV acute GVHD were 26% and 9%, respectively, and 2-year overall and moderate to severe cGVHD were 23% and 14%, respectively. The 3-year incidences of relapse and nonrelapse mortality were 26% and 18%, respectively. The rates of 3-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and GVHD-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS) were 60%, 56% and 44%, respectively. Factors such as younger donor, good performance status, and early disease were associated with better outcome in terms of OS, DFS, and GRFS. Our data indicate that doses of ATLG lower that those used in randomized clinical trials can be used for GVHD prevention, even in the adult setting, without clear increases in relapse and infections; these findings need to be further validated by a prospective randomized study.

Abstract
Background Gram-negative bacteremia (GNB) is a major cause of illness and death after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and updated epidemiological investigation is advisable. Methods We prospectively evaluated the epidemiology of pre-engraftment GNB in 1118 allogeneic HSCTs (allo-HSCTs) and 1625 autologous HSCTs (auto-HSCTs) among 54 transplant centers during 2014 (SIGNB-GITMO-AMCLI study). Using logistic regression methods. we identified risk factors for GNB and evaluated the impact of GNB on the 4-month overall-survival after transplant. Results The cumulative incidence of pre-engraftment GNB was 17.3% in allo-HSCT and 9% in auto-HSCT. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most common isolates. By multivariate analysis, variables associated with GNB were a diagnosis of acute leukemia, a transplant from a HLA-mismatched donor and from cord blood, older age, and duration of severe neutropenia in allo-HSCT, and a diagnosis of lymphoma, older age, and no antibacterial prophylaxis in auto-HSCT. A pretransplant infection by a resistant pathogen was significantly associated with an increased risk of posttransplant infection by the same microorganism in allo-HSCT. Colonization by resistant gram-negative bacteria was significantly associated with an increased rate of infection by the same pathogen in both transplant procedures. GNB was independently associated with increased mortality at 4 months both in allo-HSCT (hazard ratio, 2.13; 95% confidence interval, 1.45-3.13; P <.001) and auto-HSCT (2.43; 1.22-4.84; P = .01). Conclusions Pre-engraftment GNB is an independent factor associated with increased mortality rate at 4 months after auto-HSCT and allo-HSCT. Previous infectious history and colonization monitoring represent major indicators of GNB. Clinical Trials registration NCT02088840.

Abstract
Several guidelines have been published about management of chronic GvHD (cGvHD), but the clinical practice still remains demanding. The Gruppo Italiano Trapianto di Midollo Osseo (GITMO) has planned a prospective observational study on cGvHD, supported by a dedicated software, including the updated recommendations. In view of this study, two surveys have been conducted, focusing the management of cGvHD and ancillary therapy in cGvHD, to address the current 'real life' situation. The two surveys were sent to all 57 GITMO centers, performing allografting in Italy; the response rate was 57% and 66% of the interviewed centers, respectively. The first survey showed a great disparity especially regarding steroid-refractory cGvHD, although extracorporeal photo-apheresis resulted as the most indicated treatment in this setting. Another challenging issue was the strategy for tapering steroid: our survey showed a great variance, and this disagreement could be a real bias in evaluating outcomes in prospective studies. As for the second survey, the results suggest that the ancillary treatments are not standardized in many centers. All responding centers reported a strong need to standardize management of cGvHD and to participate in prospective trials. Before starting observational and/or interventional studies, a detailed knowledge of current practice should be encouraged.

Abstract
Patients with acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) grade I were randomized to an observation arm (n=85) or to a treatment arm (n=86) consisting of 6-methylprednisolone 1 mg/kg/day, after stratification for age and donor type. The primary end point was development of grade II–IV GvHD. The cumulative incidence of grade II–IV GvHD was 50% in the observation arm and 33% in the treatment arm (P=0.005). However, grade III–IV GvHD was comparable (13% vs. 10%, respectively; P=0.6), and this was true for sibling and alternative donor transplants. Moderate/severe chronic GvHD was also comparable (17% vs. 9%). In multivariate analysis, an early interval between transplant and randomization (<day +20) was the only negative predictor of grade III–IV GvHD. Patients in the observation arm had less infectious bacterial episodes (12 vs. 25; P=0.04), less severe infectious fungal episodes (0 vs. 3; P=0.04), and less severe adverse events (3 vs. 11; P=0.07). At five years, non-relapse mortality was 20% versus 26% (P=0.2), relapse-related mortality 25% versus 21%, and actuarial survival was 51% versus 41% (P=0.3) in the observation and treatment arms, respectively. In multivariate analysis, advanced disease phase, older age and an early onset of GvHD were significant negative predictors of survival, independent of the randomization arm. In conclusion, steroid treatment of acute grade I GvHD prevents progression to grade II but not to grade III–IV GvHD, and there is no effect on non-relapse mortality and survival. Patients treated with steroids are at a higher risk of developing infections and have more adverse events. (Trial registered as EUDTRACT 2008-000413-29).

Abstract
PURPOSE Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare form of interstitial pneumonia, characterized by elastotic fibrosis involving the pleura and subpleural parenchyma, predominantly in the upper lobes. PPFE can be either idiopathic or secondary and mostly occurs as a late complication of lung or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of secondary forms in transplant recipients. METHODS An expert thoracic radiologist retrospectively reviewed high-resolution computed tomography exams of 700 HSCT recipients and 53 lung transplant recipients from the database of the Radiology Department of S. Orsola-Malpighi Hospital dating back from 2007. For each case that radiologically fulfilled PPFE criteria, the following details were retrieved: clinical characteristics, laboratory and functional data, pathologic findings (obtained from one patient) and metabolic data (obtained from three patients). RESULTS Six cases clinically and radiologically consistent with PPFE were identified: two HSCT recipients (0.28%) and four lung transplant recipients (7.54%). CONCLUSION In this study, PPFE was strongly associated with lung transplants as a late complication, with a prevalence of 7.54%.

Abstract
PurposeTo evaluate ocular surface parameters before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and to correlate them with clinical and transplant variables.MethodsThis is a retrospective analysis of data from 93 patients affected by hematological malignancies undergoing HSCT. Values from Ocular Surface Disease Index, Schirmer test, Break-up Time, ocular surface staining, and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction score obtained before HSCT and 3-6 months after were retrieved from charts. Diagnosis and staging of dry eye (DE) disease was performed according to Dry Eye WorkShop criteria. Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) was classified according to the NIH criteria. Odds ratios for DE onset after HSCT were estimated for demographic, ocular, hematological and transplant variables.ResultsDE was diagnosed before HSCT in 50 (53%) of the patients, mostly of hyperevaporative profile. After HSCT, all ocular parameters significantly worsened with no change in DE profile. A 51% incident cases (22 of the 43 non-DE subjects) were reported. Increasing recipient age and female sex, higher CD34+ cells infused, donor-recipient sex mismatch (males receiving from females), related donors, and peripheral blood cells as stem cell source were associated with a significant higher incidence of DE after HSCT. Systemic chronic GVHD was diagnosed in 42% while ocular GVHD in 35.5% of the patients, which decreased to 12% when taking into account only incident cases.ConclusionsHigh DE prevalence was shown already before HSCT. A pre-HSCT ocular surface assessment is recommended for early DE diagnosis and treatment. This new protocol also influences the prevalence of ocular GVHD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Novel targeted therapies and monoclonal antibodies can be combined with allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) at different time-points: 1) before the transplant to reduce tumour burden, 2) as part of the conditioning in place of or in addition to conventional agents 3) after the transplant to allow long-term disease control. Areas covered: This review focuses on the current integration of new drugs with allo-SCT for the treatment of major hematological malignancies for which allo-SCT has been a widely-adopted therapy. Expert opinion: After having been used as single agent salvage treatments in relapsed patients after allo-SCT or in combination with donor lymphocyte infusions, many new drugs have also been safely employed before allo-SCT as a bridge to transplantation or after it as planned consolidation/maintenance. This era of new drugs has opened new important opportunities to 'smartly' combine 'targeted drugs and cell therapies' in new treatment paradigms that may lead to higher cure rates or longer disease control in patients with hematological malignancies.

Abstract
Predictive models may help in determining the risk/benefit ratio of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in acute leukemia (AL). Using a machine-learning algorithm we have previously developed the AL- European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) score for prediction of mortality following transplantation. We report here the first external validation of the AL-EBMT score in a cohort of AL patients from the Italian national transplantation network. A total of 1848 patients transplanted between the years 2000-2014 were analyzed. The median age was 45.9. Indications for HSCT were Acute Myeloid Leukemia (68.1%) and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (31.9%). The majority of patients were in first complete remission (60.4%), and received myeloablative conditioning (81.3%). Median follow-up was 2 years. The score was well-calibrated for prediction of day 100 mortality and 2-year overall survival (OS), leukemia free survival (LFS), and nonrelapse related mortality, with corresponding area under the receiver-operator curves of 0.698, 0.651, 0.653, and 0.651, respectively. Increasing score intervals were associated with a decreasing probability of 2-year OS and LFS. The highest scoring group was associated with a hazard ratio of 3.16, 2.8, and 2.27 for 2-year OS, LFS, and NRM, respectively. In conclusion, the AL-EBMT score identified three distinct risk groups and was predictive of OS. It is a valid tool for stratifying the risk of acute leukemia patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT.

Abstract
In this study, we analyzed a thiotepa-based conditioning regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, using the EBMT database. A total of 323 patients were identified. The median age was 43 years. Disease status at transplant was first complete remission (CR1) in 48.9%, CR2 in 21.7%, CR3 in 6.2%, while 23.2% of the patients had an active disease at the time of transplant. This was performed from a HLA-matched sibling (49.8%) or a matched-unrelated donor (51.2%). The incidence of acute graft-vs.-host disease (GvHD) (grade > II) was 26.6%, while chronic GvHD occurred in 35.9% of the patients at 1 year (24.6% with extensive disease). With a median follow-up of 16.8 months, the nonrelapse mortality was 12.4 and 25.3% at 100 days and 1 year, respectively. The relapse incidence at 1 year was 33.3% with no difference for patients in CR1 (27%). The one-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS) were 57 and 66%, respectively for the entire cohort and 50 and 66%, respectively in patients in CR1. Thiotepa/busulfan ± melphalan (n = 213) in comparison to thiotepa/other (n = 110) conditioning regimen resulted in higher relapse incidence at 1 year (34.9 vs. 30.3%, P = 0.016) and lower LFS (38.8 vs. 45.9%, P = 0.0203), while nonrelapse mortality (23.8 vs. 26.3%, n.s.) and OS (59.6 vs. 51.1%, P = 0.109) did not differ. This large study suggests that a thiotepa-based conditioning for allogeneic transplantation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia is feasible and effective, with the main outcomes being comparable to those achieved with other regimens.

Abstract
PURPOSE The genetic basis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is heterogeneous, and various combinations of somatic mutations are associated with different clinical phenotypes and outcomes. Whether the genetic basis of MDS influences the outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied 401 patients with MDS or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) evolving from MDS (MDS/AML). We used massively parallel sequencing to examine tumor samples collected before HSCT for somatic mutations in 34 recurrently mutated genes in myeloid neoplasms. We then analyzed the impact of mutations on the outcome of HSCT. RESULTS Overall, 87% of patients carried one or more oncogenic mutations. Somatic mutations of ASXL1, RUNX1, and TP53 were independent predictors of relapse and overall survival after HSCT in both patients with MDS and patients with MDS/AML (P values ranging from .003 to .035). In patients with MDS/AML, gene ontology (ie, secondary-type AML carrying mutations in genes of RNA splicing machinery, TP53-mutated AML, or de novo AML) was an independent predictor of posttransplantation outcome (P = .013). The impact of ASXL1, RUNX1, and TP53 mutations on posttransplantation survival was independent of the revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R). Combining somatic mutations and IPSS-R risk improved the ability to stratify patients by capturing more prognostic information at an individual level. Accounting for various combinations of IPSS-R risk and somatic mutations, the 5-year probability of survival after HSCT ranged from 0% to 73%. CONCLUSION Somatic mutation in ASXL1, RUNX1, or TP53 is independently associated with unfavorable outcomes and shorter survival after allogeneic HSCT for patients with MDS and MDS/AML. Accounting for these genetic lesions may improve the prognostication precision in clinical practice and in designing clinical trials.

Abstract
Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a complication arising from the toxicity of conditioning regimens that have a significant impact on the survival of patients who undergo stem cell transplantation. There are several known risk factors for developing VOD and their assessment before the start of conditioning regimens could improve the quality of care. Equally important are early identification of signs and symptoms ascribable to VOD, rapid diagnosis, and timely adjustment of support therapy and treatment. Nurses have a fundamental role at the stages of assessment and monitoring for signs and symptoms; therefore, they should have documented skills and training. The literature defines nurses’ areas of competence in managing VOD, but in the actual clinical practice, this is not so clear. Moreover, there is an intrinsic difficulty in managing VOD due to its rapid and often dramatic evolution, together with a lack of care tools to guide nurses. Through a complex evidence-based process, the Gruppo Italiano per il Trapianto di Midollo Osseo (GITMO), cellule staminali emopoietiche e terapia cellulare nursing board has developed an operational flowchart and a dynamic monitoring tool applicable to haematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients, whether they develop this complication or not.
