Abstract
ABSTRACT Higher rate of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) remains yet to be resolved in umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). Considering that UCBT has some unique features compared with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation from other graft sources, a UCBT-specific NRM risk assessment system is required. Thus, in this study, we sought to develop a UCBT-specific NRM Risk Assessment (CoBRA) score. Using a nationwide registry database, we retrospectively analyzed 4437 recipients who had received their first single-unit UCBT. Using the backward elimination method, we constructed the CoBRA score in a training cohort (n = 2687), which consisted of recipients age ≥55 years (score 2), hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index ≥3 (score 2), male recipient, graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis other than tacrolimus in combination with methotrexate, performance status (PS) 2 to 4, HLA allele mismatch ≥ 2, refined Disease Risk Index high risk, myeloablative conditioning, and CD34+ cell doses < 0.82 × 105/kg (score 1 in each). The recipients were categorized into 3 groups: low (0-4 points), intermediate (5-7 points), and high (8-11 points) groups according to the CoBRA score. In the validation cohort (n = 1750), the cumulative incidence of NRM at 2 years was 14.9%, 25.5%, and 47.1% (P < .001), and 2-year overall survival (OS) was 74.2%, 52.7%, and 26.3% (P < .001) in the low, intermediate, and high groups, respectively. In summary, the CoBRA score could predict the NRM risk as well as OS after UCBT. Further external validation will be needed to confirm the significance of the CoBRA score.

Prognostic impact of the dosage of methotrexate combined with tacrolimus for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis after cord blood transplantation. Int J Hematol 2021; 114:252-262. [PMID: 34086252 DOI: 10.1007/s12185-021-03161-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Revised: 05/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
The optimal dosage of methotrexate (MTX) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis after cord blood transplantation (CBT) has not been well elucidated. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study comparing a mini-MTX group (5 mg/m2 on day 1, 3 and 6) to a short-MTX group (10 mg/m2 on day 1 and 7 mg/m2 on day 3 and 6) after CBT. Sixty-three patients were classified as the mini-MTX group and 20 as the short-MTX group. The median time and cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment did not vary between the two groups. The cumulative incidence of grade 2-4 and grade 3-4 acute GVHD was similar in both groups. Overall survival in the mini-MTX group was significantly lower than in the short-MTX group (46.9% vs. 88.7% at 1 year, p < 0.01), contributing to higher non-relapse mortality (NRM) in the mini-MTX group (32.0% vs. 5.0% at 1 year, p = 0.02). In multivariate analysis, the mini-MTX regimen was the most powerful prognostic factor for OS (hazard ratio 4.11; p = 0.03). Although the reduced dosage of MTX had no effect on neutrophil engraftment, increased NRM due to higher incidence of infection, graft failure, and severe acute GVHD resulted in a lower survival rate in the mini-MTX group after CBT.

Elevation of Early Plasma Biomarkers in Patients with Clinical Risk Factors Predicts Increased Nonrelapse Mortality after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. Transplant Cell Ther 2021; 27:660.e1-660.e8. [PMID: 33989832 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2021.04.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Early prediction of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) based on the results of laboratory tests is challenging. Thus, there is a need to evaluate biomarkers for prediction of NRM, a major problem that offsets the advantages of allo-HSCT. We tested the validity and efficacy of 2 plasma biomarkers, ST2 and Reg3α, based on the Mount Sinai Acute GVHD International Consortium (MAGIC) algorithm, for early prediction of NRM in Japanese patients who underwent allo-HSCT. We conducted a multicenter retrospective study to analyze the clinical data of 112 patients with hematopoietic malignancies who underwent allo-HSCT. Patient blood samples on day 7 after allo-HSCT were obtained from 6 hospitals. The plasma concentrations of ST2 and Reg3α were used to calculate a 6-month NRM risk score. Based on the scores determined in this study, we identified 64 low-risk patients and 48 high-risk patients for the 6-month NRM. The cumulative incidence of 6-month NRM was 29.2% in the high-risk group and 10.9% in the low-risk group (P < .05). The cumulative incidence of relapse mortality was similar in the high-risk and low-risk patients. The biomarker score was predictive in patients with an unrelated donor, an HLA-mismatched donor, high/very high Disease Risk Index, and Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity Index ≥1. Multivariate analysis identified high biomarker probability as a significant predictor of NRM. The MAGIC algorithm based on blood samples obtained at 7 days after allo-HSCT can identify individuals at high risk for NRM among patients with clinical risk factors for NRM in a Japanese cohort.

Effect of methotrexate dose in graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis after single-unit cord blood transplantation in adult acute myeloid leukemia. Int J Hematol 2021; 113:840-850.

Abstract
To investigate the association between methotrexate (MTX) dosage and engraftment, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) incidence, and survival in umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT), we compared transplant outcomes after UCBT with various GVHD prophylaxis regimens, using registry data with additional data collection. Patients transplanted for acute myeloid leukemia with a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) and either MTX or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) combination were selected. In total, 888 single-unit UCBTs (MTX15-10-10, 415; MTX10-7-7, 294; MTX5-5-5, 71; MMF, 108) were included. In multivariate analyses with MTX15-10-10 as the reference, the likelihood of neutrophil and platelet engraftment was significantly worse in the MTX10-7-7 group, and similarly better in MMF group compared with MTX15-10-10. All variables including CyA vs Tac and 4-group GVHD prophylaxis became significant for the risk of grade II-IV acute GVHD in the final multivariate model. We observed significant additional effects of combined MTX dose in the Tac group, which were larger with lower MTX dose and MMF. No significant difference was observed in survival risk among GVHD prophylaxis groups. Despite the potential background differences in the combined CNI and conditioning regimen, we conclude that the recommended GVHD prophylaxis is a combination of CyA plus MTX15-10-10 or Tac plus MMF.

Comparison of Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine Combined With Methotrexate for Graft Versus Host Disease Prophylaxis After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation. Transplantation 2020; 104:428-436.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After patients receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), both cyclosporine (CsA) and tacrolimus (TAC) in combination with methotrexate (MTX) are recommended as the standard prophylaxis strategy for graft versus host disease (GVHD) by the European Group of Blood and Marrow Transplantation. However, the advantage of TAC combined with MTX lacks conclusive evidence. METHODS We searched online databases for studies comparing CsA + MTX and TAC + MTX in patients who received HSCT. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were applied to compare the pooled data. RESULTS We found a significant reduction in the grade II to IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) rate (OR, 0.42; CI, 0.28-0.61; P < 0.00001), grade III to IV aGVHD rate (OR, 0.59; CI, 0.38-0.92; P = 0.02), chronic GVHD rate (OR, 0.79; CI, 0.62-1.00; P = 0.05), and nonrelapse mortality rate (OR, 0.62; CI, 0.40-0.95; P = 0.03) and an increase in the overall survival (OS) rate (only in those received from unrelated donor) (OR, 1.30; CI, 1.15-1.48; P < 0.0001) in the TAC + MTX group. Similar outcomes occurred for the relapse rate and disease-free survival rate in both groups. CONCLUSIONS TAC + MTX has a superior effect in the prevention of aGVHD in patients who received HSCT and further prolongs the OS in patients who received from unrelated donor transplants. CsA + MTX prolongs the OS in patients who received HSCT from HLA-identical sibling donors. The leukemic relapse and disease-free survival rate were not different between the 2 regimens. Thus, we conclude that TAC + MTX was superior to CsA + MTX, especially for HSCT patients with nonmalignant disorders. Further studies are still required to evaluate the effect of TAC or CsA combined with other suppressors in the treatment regimen following HSCT.

Abstract
We analyzed the outcomes of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) and risk factors for chimerism in 108 patients with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) who were registered with The Japan Society for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation between January 1985 and December 2016. A preparative conditioning regimen consisting of myeloablative conditioning (MAC) was provided to 76 patients, and reduced-intensity conditioning was provided to 30 patients. Fifty-one patients received prophylaxis against graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with cyclosporine, and 51 patients received tacrolimus (Tac). Chimerism analyses had been performed in 91 patients. Neutrophil engraftment was achieved in 91 patients (84.3%). The engraftment rate was significantly higher in patients who received Tac for GVHD prophylaxis (p = 0.028). Overall survival rate (OS) was significantly higher in patients with complete chimerism than in patients with mixed chimerism (88.2 ± 6.1% and 66.7 ± 9.9%, respectively, p = 0.003). Multivariate analysis showed that the rate of complete chimerism in patients who received MAC including cyclophosphamide (CY) at a dose of 200 mg/kg was significantly higher (p = 0.021) than that in patients who received other conditioning. Thus, MAC including CY at a dose of 200 mg/kg and Tac for GVHD prophylaxis were optimal conditions of SCT for patients with WAS under existing study.

Abstract
In Japan, use of unrelated peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (uPBSCT) from HLA-mismatched unrelated donors has recently been approved. We compared outcomes between HLA-matched and 1-locus mismatched uPBSCT, as well as the impact of HLA disparity in uPBSCT and in unrelated bone marrow transplantation (uBMT). In total, 5862 uBMT recipients and 234 uPBSCT recipients were included. In terms of HLA allele disparity, 185 uPBSCT patients (79.1%) had no HLA mismatch, and 49 (20.9%) had 1-locus mismatch; in comparison, 3585 uBMT patients (61.2%) had no HLA mismatch, and 2277 (38.8%) had 1-locus mismatch. The impact of 1-locus mismatch as compared with match in uPBSCT was not significantly higher than in uBMT [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.02 and 1.27 for grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease, HR = 0.98 and 1.14 for non-relapse mortality, and HR = 0.87 and 1.06 for overall survival, respectively]. In conclusion, the impact of single-locus mismatch on short-term outcomes was comparable in uPBSCT and uBMT. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to assess long-term outcomes.

Graft-versus-host Disease-free, Relapse-free Survival After HLA-identical Sibling Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation With Tacrolimus-based Graft-versus-host Disease Prophylaxis in Japanese Patients. Transplant Proc 2018; 50:241-245.

Abstract
The ideal post-allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation recovery is not just the cure of hematologic malignancies but also freedom from ongoing morbidity. Recent studies have revealed that HLA-identical sibling peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) had been providing impaired graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) due to a higher risk of GVHD. Study on GVHD prophylaxis bears clinical reliance when focused on Japanese population because risk of GVHD differs among races. We identified 15 consecutive Japanese patients who received tacrolimus-based GVHD prophylaxis after myeloablative HLA-identical sibling PBSCT. No episode of grade ≥ II acute GVHD and only one episode of grade III toxicity were documented, with the control of mean weekly blood tacrolimus concentrations during the first 4 weeks at 13 to 17 ng/mL. An estimated 46.7% (95% CI: 21.4% to 71.9%) of the patients enjoyed their GRFS at 3 years after transplantation, and failure in the treatment of chronic GVHD was not reported during the median follow-up period of 1059 days (range, 784 to 1778 days) after the development of chronic GVHD. The results suggest that the application of tacrolimus with the optimization of its blood concentrations may effectively prevent ongoing morbidities after HLA-identical sibling PBSCT.

Abstract
To investigate better GVHD prophylaxis in reduced intensity conditioning umbilical cord blood transplantation (RIC-UCBT), we compared transplant outcomes after UCBT among GvHD prophylaxes using the registry data. We selected patients transplanted for AML or ALL with a calcineurin inhibitor and methotrexate (MTX)/mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) combination. A total of 748 first RIC-UCBT between 2000 and 2012 (MTX+ group, 446, MMF+ group, 302) were included. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet counts higher than 50 000/μL was significantly better in the MMF+ group (relative risk (RR), 1.55; P<0.001: RR, 1.34; P=0.003, respectively). In multivariate analyses, the risk of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GvHD was significantly higher in the MMF+ group than in the MTX+ group (RR, 1.75; P<0.001: RR, 1.97; P=0.004, respectively). In disease-specific analyses of AML, the risk of relapse of high-risk disease was significantly lower in the MMF+ group (RR, 0.69; P=0.009), whereas no significant difference was observed in the risk of relapse-free and overall survival in high-risk disease. In patients with standard-risk disease, no significant differences were noted in the risk of relapse or survival between the MTX+ and MMF+ groups. Collectively, these results suggest that MMF-containing prophylaxis may be preferable in RIC-UCBT, particularly for high-risk disease.

Abstract
Calcineurin inhibitors (CIs) such as cyclosporine A (CSA) and tacrolimus often cause renal dysfunction, resulting in increased serum creatinine, hyperkalemia, and hyperuricemia. However, the effects of CIs on sodium excretion have not been fully elucidated. We retrospectively evaluated the effects of CI administration on sodium excretion in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Fifty consecutive recipients each of allogeneic HSCT receiving either CSA or tacrolimus (100 patients in total) with available data for weekly fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) for a 4-week period after transplantation were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. No significant differences in patient characteristics were observed between CSA and tacrolimus groups except for the type of donor. FENa was significantly higher at the 3rd (1.25 ± 0.80) and 4th weeks (1.53 ± 1.06) after transplantation as compared with that at the 1st week (0.93 ± 0.51; P < 0.01, P < 0.001, respectively) in the tacrolimus group, but not at any time point in the CSA group. In addition, FENa was significantly higher in the tacrolimus group than the CSA group at the 4th week (1.53 ± 1.06 vs. 1.13 ± 0.80; P < 0.05). These results suggest that tacrolimus increases sodium excretion after allogeneic HSCT, and that this effect is minimal with CSA.

Exploratory research for optimal GvHD prophylaxis after single unit CBT in adults: short-term methotrexate reduced the incidence of severe GvHD more than mycophenolate mofetil. Bone Marrow Transplant 2016; 52:423-430. [PMID: 27941766 DOI: 10.1038/bmt.2016.255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2016] [Revised: 08/16/2016] [Accepted: 08/18/2016] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
In order to examine GvHD prophylaxis in umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in more detail, we compared transplant outcomes after UCBT for acute leukemia among GvHD prophylaxes using registry data. We selected patients transplanted with a calcineurin inhibitor and methotrexate (MTX)/mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) combination. A total of 1516 first myeloablative UCBT between 2000 and 2012 (Cyclosporine A (CyA) plus MTX, 824, Tacrolimus (Tac) plus MTX, 554, Tac plus MMF, 138) were included. With adjusted analyses, Tac plus MMF showed a significantly higher risk for grade II-IV and III-IV acute GvHD than CyA or Tac plus MTX. Although NRM was similar, Tac plus MMF showed a significantly lower risk of relapse than CyA or Tac plus MTX. A significant difference was observed in the risk of overall mortality (OM) between the MTX-containing group and MMF-containing group. In patients with standard-risk disease, there was no significant difference in the risk of OM in any GvHD prophylaxis. However, in patients with advanced-risk disease, Tac plus MMF showed a significantly lower risk of OM. Therefore, MTX-containing prophylaxis is preferred in UCBT for standard-risk disease, whereas MMF-containing prophylaxis is preferred for advanced-risk disease. A prospective study to identify optimal GvHD prophylaxis for UCBT is warranted.

Comparison of cyclosporine and tacrolimus combined with mycophenolate mofetil in prophylaxis for graft-versus-host disease after reduced-intensity umbilical cord blood transplantation. Int J Hematol 2016; 105:92-99. [PMID: 27686673 DOI: 10.1007/s12185-016-2093-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2016] [Revised: 09/26/2016] [Accepted: 09/26/2016] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Umbilical cord blood transplantation with a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen (RIC-UCBT) is used increasingly in patients who have comorbid organ functions and lack human leukocyte antigen-identical donors. We compared the outcomes in 35 patients who received mycophenolate mofetil plus cyclosporine (MMF/CSP, n = 17) or MMF plus tacrolimus (MMF/TAC, n = 18) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis after RIC-UCBT. Cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment was 94 and 89 % in MMF/CSP and MMF/TAC groups, respectively (p = 0.34). The incidence of pre-engraftment immune reaction did not differ between the MMF/CSP (41 %) and MMF/TAC (39 %, p = 1.00) groups; however, patients in the MMF/TAC group tended to have a lower incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD than those in MMF/CSP group (28 vs 53 %, p = 0.11). Overall survival (OS) at 1 year was 43 and 60 % in MMF/CSP and MMF/TAC groups, respectively (p = 0.39). Progression-free survival, non-relapse mortality, and relapse rate were comparable between the two groups (p = 0.76, 0.59, and 0.88, respectively). In multivariate analyses, MMF/TAC GVHD prophylaxis was closely associated with improved OS, but not with incidence of engraftment and acute GVHD. These results suggest that more intensive GVHD prophylaxis with MMF/TAC decreased acute GVHD without affecting other clinical outcomes, resulting in improved OS after RIC-UCBT.
