Graft-versus-host-disease prophylaxis with ATG or PTCY in patients with lymphoproliferative disorders undergoing reduced intensity conditioning regimen HCT from one antigen mismatched unrelated donor. Bone Marrow Transplant 2024; 59:597-603. [PMID: 38331980 PMCID: PMC11073988 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-024-02225-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) has been introduced as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in mismatched and matched unrelated hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). However, data comparing outcomes of PTCY or ATG in patients undergoing a 1 antigen mismatched HCT for lymphoproliferative disease are limited. We compared PTCY versus ATG in adult patients with lymphoproliferative disease undergoing a first 9/10 MMUD HCT with a reduced intensity conditioning regimen from 2010 to 2021. Patients receiving PTCY were matched to patients receiving ATG according to: age, disease status at transplant, female to male matching, stem cell source and CMV serology. Grade II-IV acute GvHD at 100 day was 26% and 41% for the ATG and PTCY group, respectively (p = 0.08). Grade III-IV acute GvHD was not significantly different between the two groups. No differences were observed in relapse incidence, non-relapse mortality, progression-free survival, overall survival and GvHD-relapse-free survival at 1 year. The cumulative incidence of 1-year extensive chronic GvHD was 18% in the ATG and 5% in the PTCY group, respectively (p = 0.06). In patients with lymphoproliferative diseases undergoing 9/10 MMUD HCT, PTCY might be a safe option providing similar results to ATG prophylaxis. Due to the limited number of patients, prospective randomized trials are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Infectious diseases contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in recipients of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT), particularly in the era of highly immunosuppressive transplant regimens and alternate donor transplants. Delayed cellular immune recovery is a major mechanism for the increased risk in these patients. Adoptive cell therapy with ex vivo manipulated pathogen-specific T cells (PSTs) is increasingly taking its place as a treatment strategy using donor-derived or third party-banked cells. RECENT FINDINGS The majority of clinical trial data in the form of early-phase studies has been in the prophylaxis or treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and adenovirus (AdV). Advancements in methods to select and enrich PSTs offer the opportunity to target the less common viral pathogens as well as fungi with this technology. Early clinical studies of PSTs targeting polyomaviruses (BK virus and JC virus), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6), varicella zoster virus (VZV) and Aspergillus spp. have shown promising results in small numbers of patients. Other potential targets include herpes simplex virus (HSV), respiratory viruses and other invasive fungal species. In this review, we describe the burden of disease of this wider spectrum of pathogens, the progress in the development of manufacturing capability, early clinical results and the opportunities and challenges for implementation in the clinic.

Influence of HLA 1-3-locus mismatch and antithymocyte globulin administration in unrelated bone marrow transplantation. Ann Hematol 2020; 99:1099-1110.

Abstract
For patients without an HLA-matched donor, an HLA-mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) has been considered as an alternative donor in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). We conducted a nationwide retrospective study to compare the transplant outcomes among 1-, 2-, and 3-locus (allele/antigen) mismatched unrelated donors (1MMUD n = 2044, 2MMUD n = 492, and 3MMUD n = 73) in allo-HCT and to assess the impact of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) in allo-HCT from 1-3MMUD. 2MMUD and 3MMUD were independent significant adverse factors for grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (hazard ratio [HR] 1.72, p < 0.001 and HR 2.48, p < 0.001), non-relapse mortality (NRM) (HR 1.47, p < 0.001 and HR 2.00, p < 0.001), and overall survival (OS) (HR 1.21, p = 0.0066 and HR 1.60, p = 0.0015). Conversely, the use of ATG was an independent favorable factor for grade III-IV acute GVHD (HR 0.43, p < 0.001), NRM (HR 0.51, p < 0.001), and OS (HR 0.74, p = 0.0012). On the other hand, HLA compatibility and the use of ATG were not associated with a risk of relapse. An interaction test between the number of HLA mismatches and the use of ATG revealed that the effect of ATG on NRM and OS in the 2MMUD group was significantly less than that in the 1MMUD group (HR 1.53, p = 0.036 and HR 2.34, p = 0.0046). This study indicated that the number of HLA mismatches and the use of ATG were significantly associated with not only GVHD, but also NRM and OS. Whereas the use of ATG could improve transplant outcomes in allo-HCT from 1MMUD, its effectiveness with 2MMUD and 3MMUD was limited.

Abstract
The addition of rabbit anti-human thymocyte globulin (ATG) to the conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation has significantly reduced the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and graft failure. However, ATG has a small therapeutic window. Overexposure of ATG post-HCT hampers T cell immune reconstitution and has been associated with increased relapse rates and viral reactivations, whereas underexposure has been associated with an increased incidence of GvHD, both of which lead to increased mortality. Therapeutic drug monitoring of T cell binding ATG plasma levels provides a means to optimize dosing for patients at high risk for graft failure to ensure timely T cell immune reconstitution and subsequently increase survival chances. This manuscript describes the first liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to quantify the pharmacologically active fraction of polyclonal ATG in plasma. This was achieved through immunoaffinity purification of active ATG from plasma with Jurkat T cells. After the binding and washing, samples were eluted, denatured, and trypsin-digested. Signature peptides originating from the IgG constant chain were measured with LC-MS/MS. Critical method parameters were optimized, and the method was successfully validated following European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines. The method covered the therapeutic range of ATG and was validated at a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 1 AU/mL with an overall CV and bias of 11.8% and - 2.5%, respectively. In conclusion, we developed a LC-MS/MS-based method to quantify active polyclonal rabbit ATG in human plasma. We suggest that this novel assay can be used to monitor and optimize dosing of ATG in clinical practice.
