Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether impaired quality of life (QOL) persisted among patients who experienced resolved chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Eligible participants were patients who were relapse-free for 3 years after allo-HCT who were age ≥16 years at the time of transplantation and age ≥20 years without relapse at the time of the survey. The Medical Outcomes Study's 36-Item Short-Form Survey (SF-36), the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT), and a visual analog scale (VAS) were administered to assess QOL. Physicians evaluated the current status of chronic GVHD at survey using National Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria, and pretransplantation characteristics and history of GVHD were extracted from the national transplant registry database. Patients without currently active GVHD but with a history of chronic GVHD were categorized as having "resolved GVHD." Of 1250 patients informed of the study, 1216 provided consent and 1130 were included in the final analysis. A total of 745 patients (66%) had currently active chronic GVHD, 149 (13%) had resolved chronic GVHD, and 236 (21%) never had chronic GVHD after allo-HCT. Multivariable analyses showed that compared with patients with resolved or no chronic GVHD, those with active chronic GVHD reported significantly poorer QOL. The QOL scores were similar in patients with resolved chronic GVHD and those without chronic GVHD. Greater between-group differences were observed in SF-36 Physical component and VAS scores in patients age ≥50 years, but the differences were not statistically significant. Our data indicate that only currently active chronic GVHD has a significant impact on physical, mental, and social QOL in allo-HCT survivors, whereas previous chronic GVHD does not impair QOL if it has been resolved.

Abstract
Primary graft failure is a lethal complication that occurs after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) and requires retransplantation. We retrospectively assessed 1,355 patients who underwent allo-SCT at our institute. Following allo-SCT, the cumulative incidence of subsequent neutrophil engraftment was calculated each day after day 5 among patients with white blood cell (WBC) count<100 cells/μL on the respective day. The number of patients with WBC count<100 cells/μL at days 14, 21, and 28 were 372, 55, and 21, respectively. In patients with WBC count<100 cells/μL on day 14, the cumulative incidence of engraftment was lower in recipients of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) and cord blood (CB) compared with recipients of bone marrow (BM) (BM vs. PBSCs vs. CB, 93% vs. 79% vs. 77%, P<0.01). In patients with WBC count<100 cells/μL after day 14, the cumulative incidence of engraftment in recipients of PBSCs became progressively lower (25% at day 21 and 0% at day 28). In patients with WBC count<100 cells/μL on day 28, the cumulative incidence of engraftment was 100% in patients with donor chimerism≥95%, while it was only 13% in those with chimerism<95% (P<0.01). These data provide important information that could be useful in deciding the appropriate time for performing tests in patients with donor chimerism and in those that require retransplantation.

Abstract
The clinical significance of extramedullary relapse (EMR) of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains poorly defined. Here we report the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent allo-HSCT for AML at our institution between 2000 and 2012. A total of 293 patients with AML who underwent allo-HSCT were included. The median duration of follow-up in survivors was 1840 days. Disease status at the time of allo-HSCT was complete remission in 192 patients and nonremission in 101 patients. A total of 110 patients experienced AML relapse after allo-HSCT, including 18 with EMR only, 83 with bone marrow relapse (BMR) only, and 9 with both EMR and BMR. The 5-year cumulative incidence of EMR after allo-HSCT was 9.5%, whereas that of BMR only was 28.9%. In multivariate analysis, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation was associated with an increased risk of EMR. The 2-year overall survival after post-transplantation relapse was 7.5% in patients with BMR only, 11.1% in those with both EMR and BMR, and 27.5% in those with EMR only (P < .05). Although the short-term survival was better in patients with EMR only, they rarely achieved long-term survival. Appropriate strategies for both post-transplantation EMR and BMR are needed.

Abstract
Non-graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) ocular complications are generally uncommon after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) but can cause prolonged morbidity affecting activities of daily living and quality of life. Here we provide an expert review of non-GVHD ocular complications in a collaboration between transplantation physicians and ophthalmologists through the Late Effects and Quality of Life Working Committee of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research and the Transplant Complications Working Party of the European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Complications discussed in this review include cataracts, glaucoma, ocular infections, ocular involvement with malignancy, ischemic microvascular retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion, retinal hemorrhage, retinal detachment and ocular toxicities associated with medications. We summarize the incidence, risk factors, screening, prevention, and treatment of individual complications and generate evidence-based recommendations. Baseline ocular evaluation before HCT should be considered in all patients who undergo HCT. Follow-up evaluations should be considered according to clinical signs and symptoms and risk factors. Better preventive strategies and treatments remain to be investigated for individual ocular complications after HCT. Both transplantation physicians and ophthalmologists should be knowledgeable about non-GVHD ocular complications and provide comprehensive collaborative team care.

Abstract
Ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurs in more than one-half of patients who develop chronic GVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), causing prolonged morbidity that affects activities of daily living and quality of life. Here we provide an expert review of ocular GVHD in a collaboration between transplantation physicians and ophthalmologists through the Late Effects and Quality of Life Working Committee of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research and the Transplant Complications Working Party of the European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Recent updates in ocular GVHD regarding pathophysiology, preclinical models, risk factors, prevention, screening, diagnosis, response criteria, evaluation measures, and treatment are discussed. Ocular GVHD involves at least 3 biological processes: lacrimal gland dysfunction, meibomian gland dysfunction, and corneoconjunctival inflammation. Preclinical models have identified several novel pathogenic mechanisms, including the renin angiotensin system and endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling, which can be targeted by therapeutic agents. Numerous studies have identified reliable tests for establishing diagnosis and response assessment of ocular GVHD. The efficacy of systemic and topical treatment for ocular GVHD is summarized. It is important that all health professionals caring for HCT recipients have adequate knowledge of ocular GVHD to provide optimal care.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurs in 30-40% of patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. The symptoms of chronic GVHD resemble those of autoimmune diseases, and many sites, including the eyes, mouth, skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, lungs, joints, and fascia, can be affected. Severe chronic GVHD increases patients' mortality and decreases their quality of life. The 2014 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus has proposed a three-step model for classification of the mechanisms of chronic GVHD: early acute inflammation, chronic inflammation with dysregulated immunity, and tissue fibrosis. Many drugs targeting specific biological pathways for treating chronic GVHD are under development. The NIH Consensus has also clarified objective response measures, optimal endpoints, and clinical trial designs to be used for drug approval. More than 30 novel drugs for GVHD treatment are currently being tested in over 80 clinical trials worldwide.

Abstract
We analyzed late fatal infections (LFIs) in allogeneic stem cell transplantation (HCT) recipients reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. We analyzed the incidence, infection types, and risk factors contributing to LFI in 10,336 adult and 5088 pediatric subjects surviving for ≥2 years after first HCT without relapse. Among 2245 adult and 377 pediatric patients who died, infections were a primary or contributory cause of death in 687 (31%) and 110 (29%), respectively. At 12 years post-HCT, the cumulative incidence of LFIs was 6.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.8% to 7.0%) in adults, compared with 1.8% (95% CI, 1.4% to 2.3%) in pediatric subjects; P < .001). In adults, the 2 most significant risks for developing LFI were increasing age (20 to 39, 40 to 54, and ≥55 years versus 18 to 19 years) with hazard ratios (HRs) of 3.12 (95% CI, 1.33 to 7.32), 3.86 (95% CI, 1.66 to 8.95), and 5.49 (95% CI, 2.32 to 12.99) and a history of chronic graft-versus-host disease GVHD (cGVHD) with ongoing immunosuppression at 2 years post-HCT compared with no history of GVHD with (HR, 3.87; 95% CI, 2.59 to 5.78). In pediatric subjects, the 3 most significant risks for developing LFI were a history of cGVHD with ongoing immunosuppression (HR, 9.49; 95% CI, 4.39 to 20.51) or without ongoing immunosuppression (HR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.05 to 7.43) at 2 years post-HCT compared with no history of GVHD, diagnosis of inherited abnormalities of erythrocyte function compared with diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia (HR, 2.30; 95% CI, 1.19 to 4.42), and age >10 years (HR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.15 to 3.2). This study emphasizes the importance of continued vigilance for late infections after HCT and institution of support strategies aimed at decreasing the risk of cGVHD.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) -free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) is an important, composite endpoint for clinical trials, which provides a patient-centered measure of transplant success. This review discusses the results of the Japanese Transplant Registry study. This large-scale study examined 23,302 patients with hematological malignancy and characterized GRFS according to a variety of graft sources. The GRFS rate at 1 year was 41% in all patients. GRFS was superior in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation compared to peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, owing to lower risk of developing grades III-IV acute and chronic GVHD. The best GRFS rates were observed in patients that received HLA-matched related bone marrow transplants; however, this was not the case in HLA-mismatched donors. GRFS after single-cord blood transplantation was almost comparable with HLA-matched unrelated bone marrow transplantation, possibly due to the low risk of chronic GVHD. Other factors associated with increased GRFS rates included female patients; use of anti-thymocyte globulin prophylaxis for standard-risk disease; recent transplantations; gender combinations other than from a female donor to a male patient; absence of prior autologous transplantation; myeloablative conditioning; negative cytomegalovirus serostatus; and use of tacrolimus-based GVHD prophylaxis. These results provide valuable information for deciding the best choice of graft sources and type of GVHD prophylaxis to be used.

Abstract
The combination of a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) such as tacrolimus (TAC) or cyclosporine (CYSP) with methotrexate (MTX) or with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has been commonly used for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), but there are limited data comparing efficacy of the 2 regimens. We evaluated 1564 adult patients who underwent RIC alloHCT for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) from 2000 to 2013 using HLA-identical sibling (matched related donor [MRD]) or unrelated donor (URD) peripheral blood graft and received CYSP or TAC with MTX or MMF for GVHD prophylaxis. Primary outcomes of the study were acute and chronic GVHD and overall survival (OS). The study divided the patient population into 4 cohorts based on regimen: MMF-TAC, MMF-CYSP, MTX-TAC, and MTX-CYSP. In the URD group, MMF-CYSP was associated with increased risk of grade II to IV acute GVHD (relative risk [RR], 1.78; P < .001) and grade III to IV acute GVHD (RR, 1.93; P = .006) compared with MTX-TAC. In the URD group, use of MMF-TAC (versus MTX-TAC) lead to higher nonrelapse mortality. (hazard ratio, 1.48; P = .008). In either group, no there was no difference in chronic GVHD, disease-free survival, and OS among the GVHD prophylaxis regimens. For RIC alloHCT using MRD, there are no differences in outcomes based on GVHD prophylaxis. However, with URD RIC alloHCT, MMF-CYSP was inferior to MTX-based regimens for acute GVHD prevention, but all the regimens were equivalent in terms of chronic GVHD and OS. Prospective studies, targeting URD recipients are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Amphiregulin (AREG) is an epidermal growth factor receptor ligand that can restore integrity to damaged intestinal mucosa in murine models of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). We previously reported that circulating AREG is elevated in late-onset aGVHD (occurring after 100 days posttransplant), but its clinical relevance in the context of aGVHD risk is unknown. We measured AREG in 251 aGVHD onset blood samples from Blood and Marrow Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN) primary treatment trials and determined their association with GVHD severity, day 28 complete or partial response (CR/PR) to first-line therapy, overall survival (OS), and nonrelapse mortality (NRM). Every doubling of plasma AREG was associated with a 33% decrease in the odds of day 28 CR/PR (odds ratio [OR], 0.67; P < .01). An AREG threshold of 33 pg/mL or greater divided patients with Minnesota standard-risk (SR) aGVHD into a distinct group with a significantly lower likelihood of: day 28 CR/PR (72% vs 85%; P = .02); greater 2-year NRM (42% vs 15%; P < .01); and inferior OS (40% vs 66%; P < .01). High AREG ≥ 33 pg/mL also stratified patients with Minnesota high-risk (HR) aGVHD: day 28 CR/PR (54% vs 83%; P = .03) and 2-year NRM (53% vs 11%; P < .01), with a trend toward inferior 2-year OS (37% vs 60%; P = .09). High-circulating AREG (≥33 pg/mL) reclassifies patients into HR subgroups and thereby further refines the Minnesota aGVHD clinical risk score.

Upper gastrointestinal acute graft- versus-host disease adds minimal prognostic value in isolation or with other graft- versus-host disease symptoms as currently diagnosed and treated.

Abstract
Upper gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease is reported in approximately 30% of hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients developing acute graft-versus-host disease. Currently classified as Grade II in consensus criteria, upper gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease is often treated with systemic immunosuppression. We reviewed the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database to assess the prognostic implications of upper gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease in isolation or with other acute graft-versus-host disease manifestations. 8567 adult recipients of myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant receiving T-cell replete grafts for acute leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome between 2000 and 2012 were analyzed. 51% of transplants were from unrelated donors. Reported upper gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease incidence was 12.1%; 2.7% of recipients had isolated upper gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease, of whom 95% received systemic steroids. Patients with isolated upper gastrointestinal involvement had similar survival, disease-free survival, transplant-related mortality, and relapse as patients with Grades 0, I, or II acute graft-versus-host disease. Unrelated donor recipients with isolated upper gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease had less subsequent chronic graft-versus-host disease than those with Grades I or II disease (P=0.016 and P=0.0004, respectively). Upper gastrointestinal involvement added no significant prognostic information when present in addition to other manifestations of Grades I or II acute graft-versus-host disease. If upper gastrointestinal symptoms were reclassified as Grade 0 or I, 425 of 2083 patients (20.4%) with Grade II disease would be downgraded, potentially impacting the interpretation of clinical trial outcomes. Defining upper gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease as a Grade II entity, as it is currently diagnosed and treated, is not strongly supported by this analysis. The general approach to diagnosis, treatment and grading of upper gastrointestinal symptoms and their impact on subsequent acute graft-versus-host disease therapy warrants reevaluation.

Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) occurs in approximately 40% of patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. It affects various organs and causes significant morbidity and mortality. The manifestations of cGVHD resemble those of autoimmune diseases. Inflammation, cellular immunity, humoral immunity, and fibrosis are implicated in cGVHD pathogenesis. The 2005 NIH consensus criteria for cGVHD have set standards for designing and reporting clinical trials, and the criteria were revised in 2014 to incorporate accumulated evidence and questions. The criteria are ready to be applied to design clinical trials aimed at identifying drugs for the treatment of cGVHD. Recent preclinical cGVHD trials have revealed the central roles of regulatory T cells, Th17 cells, Tc17 cells, follicular helper T cells, and follicular regulatory T cells as well as B cell signaling and fibrosis-promoting factors. Based on these advances, clinical trials targeting the specific pathogenic pathways of cGVHD are rapidly emerging, awaiting the approval of effective drugs to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
For patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) offers a potential cure. Life-threatening complications can arise from alloHCT that require the application of sophisticated health care delivery. The impact of country-level economic conditions on post-transplantation outcomes is not known. Our objective was to assess whether these variables were associated with outcomes for patients transplanted for ALL. Using data from the Center for Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, we included 11,261 patients who received a first alloHCT for ALL from 303 centers across 38 countries between the years of 2005 and 2013. Cox regression models were constructed using the following macroeconomic indicators as main effects: Gross national income per capita, health expenditure per capita, and Human Development Index (HDI). The outcome was overall survival at 100 days following transplantation. In each model, transplants performed within lower resourced environments were associated with inferior overall survival. In the model with the HDI as the main effect, transplants performed in the lowest HDI quartile (n = 697) were associated with increased hazard for mortality (hazard ratio, 2.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.64 to 3.57; P < .001) in comparison with transplants performed in the countries with the highest HDI quartile. This translated into an 11% survival difference at 100 days (77% for lowest HDI quartile versus 88% for all other quartiles). Country-level macroeconomic indices were associated with lower survival at 100 days after alloHCT for ALL. The reasons for this disparity require further investigation.
