Comparable outcomes of allogeneic peripheral blood versus bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a sibling donor for pediatric patients. Ann Hematol 2024; 103:2051-2058.

Abstract
Traditionally, bone marrow (BM) has been preferred as a source of stem cells (SCs) in pediatric hematopoietic SC transplantation (HSCT); however, the use of peripheral blood SCs (PBSC) has recently increased. With advancing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, whether the BM is still a better SC source than PB in sibling donor HSCT remains controversial. Here, we compared the results of BM transplantation (BMT) and PBSC transplantation (PBSCT) in pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant diseases receiving sibling HSCT using a total of 7.5 mg/kg of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). We retrospectively reviewed children who received HSCT from a sibling donor between 2005 and 2020 at Seoul National University Children's Hospital. Of the 86 patients, 40 underwent BMT, and 46 underwent PBSCT. Fifty- six patients had malignant diseases, whereas thirty patients had non-malignant diseases. All conditioning regimens comprised ATG. Busulfan-based myeloablative conditioning regimens were administered to patients with malignant diseases and approximately half of those with non-malignant diseases. The remaining half of the patients with non-malignant diseases were administered cyclophosphamide-based reduced- intensity conditioning regimens. According to studies conducted at our center, all BM donors received G-CSF before harvest to achieve early engraftment. In all 86 patients (47 males and 39 females), the median age at the time of HSCT was 11.4 (range, 0.7 - 24.6) years. The median follow-up period was 57.9 (range, 0.9-228.6) months, and the corresponding values for those with BM and PBSC were 77 (range, 2.4-228.6) months and 48.7 (range, 0.9-213.2) months, respectively. Engraftment failure occurred in one patient with BM and no patient with PBSC. The cumulative incidence of acute GVHD with grades II-IV was higher in PBSC (BM 2.5%, PBSC 26.1%, p = 0.002), but there was no significant difference in those with grades III-IV acute GVHD (BM 0%, PBSC 6.5%, p = 0.3703) and extensive chronic GVHD (BM 2.5%, PBSC 11.6%, p = 0.1004). There were no significant differences in treatment-related mortality (TRM) (BM 14.2%, PBSC 6.8%, p = 0.453), 5-year event-free survival (EFS) (BM 71.5%, PBSC 76.2%, p = 0.874), and overall survival (OS) rates (BM 80.8%, PBSC 80.3%, p = 0.867) between BM and PBSC in the univariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis, which included all factors with p < 0.50 in the univariate analysis, there was no significant prognostic factor for EFS or OS. There was no significant difference in the relapse incidence between BM and PBSC among patients with malignant diseases (BM 14.2%, PBSC 6.8%, p = 0.453). Additionally, there were no significant differences in the TRM, 5-year EFS, and OS rates between malignant and non-malignant diseases nor between the busulfan-based myeloablative regimen and reduced-intensity chemotherapy using cyclophosphamide. In this study, we showed no significant differences in EFS, OS, TRM, and GVHD, except for acute GVHD grades II-IV, between BMT and PBSCT from sibling donors, using ATG (a total of 7.5 mg/kg). Therefore, PB collection, which is less invasive for donors and less labor-intensive for doctors, could also be considered an acceptable SC source for sibling donor HSCT in children.

Abstract
Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only potential cure for intermediate to high-risk acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The therapeutic effect of HSCT is largely dependent on the powerful donor-derived immune response against recipient leukaemia cells, known as graft-versus-leukaemia effect (GvL). However, the donor-derived immune system can also cause acute or chronic damage to normal recipient organs and tissues, in a process known as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). GvHD is a leading cause of non-relapse mortality in HSCT recipients. There are many similarities and cross talk between the immune pathways of GvL and GvHD. Studies have demonstrated that both processes require the presence of mismatched alloantigens between the donor and recipient, and activation of immune responses centered around donor T-cells, which can be further modulated by various recipient or donor factors. Dissecting GvL from GvHD to achieve more effective GvHD prevention and enhanced GvL has been the holy grail of HSCT research. In this review, we focused on the key factors that contribute to the immune responses of GvL and GvHD, the effect on GvL with different GvHD prophylactic strategies, and the potential impact of various AML relapse prevention therapy or treatments on GvHD.

Bone Marrow Transplant 2022; 57:1803-1809.

Abstract
Different doses of treosulfan plus fludarabine have shown advantage over reduced intensity regimens. However, data comparing higher doses of treosulfan to myeloablative busulfan are limited. Thus, we compared outcomes between FT14 (fludarabine 150/160 mg/m2 and treosulfan 42 g/m2, or FT14) over FB4 (fludarabine 150/160 mg/m2 and busulfan 12.8 mg/kg). We retrospectively studied patients from European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation registry: a) adults diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), b) recipients of first allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from unrelated or sibling donor (2010-2020), c) HSCT at first or second complete remission, d) conditioning with FT14 or FB4. FT14 recipients (n = 678) were older, with higher rates of secondary AML, unrelated donors, peripheral blood grafts, and adverse cytogenetics, but lower percentage of female donor to male recipient compared to FB4 (n = 2025). Analysis was stratified on age. In patients aged < 55 years, FT14 was associated with higher relapse incidence (RI) and lower Leukemia-Free Survival (LFS). In patients aged≥55 years, acute GVHD CI was higher in FB4, without significant differences in other outcomes. Although FT14 has been used for higher-risk HSCT patients, our large real-world multicenter study suggests that FB4 is associated with better outcomes compared to FT14 in younger patients.

Advantages of peripheral blood stem cells from unrelated donors versus bone marrow transplants in outcomes of adult acute myeloid leukemia patients. Cytotherapy 2022; 24:1013-1025. [PMID: 35729020 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcyt.2022.05.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Revised: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS In allogeneic stem cell transplantation, unrelated donors are chosen in cases where appropriate related donors are not available. Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are more often selected as a graft source than bone marrow (BM). However, the prognostic benefits of PBSCs versus BM transplants from unrelated donors have not been carefully examined in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study compared outcomes of adult AML patients who underwent unrelated PBSC and BM transplantation, evaluating post-transplant complications, including engraftment, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and infections, and determined subgroups of patients who are most likely to benefit from unrelated PBSCs compared with BM transplants. METHODS The authors analyzed 2962 adult AML patients who underwent unrelated PBSC or BM transplants between 2011 and 2018 (221 PBSC and 2741 BM) using the Japanese nationwide registry database, in which graft source selection is not skewed toward PBSCs. RESULTS In 49.7% of patients, disease status at transplantation was first complete remission (CR1). In 57.1% of cases, HLA-matched donors were selected. Myeloablative conditioning was performed in 75.1% of cases, and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) was added to conditioning in 10.5%. Multivariate analyses showed a trend toward favorable non-relapse mortality (NRM) in PBSC recipients compared with BM recipients (hazard ratio [HR], 0.731, P = 0.096), whereas overall survival (OS) (HR, 0.959, P = 0.230) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR, 0.868, P = 0.221) were comparable between PBSC and BM recipients. Although the rate of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was significantly higher in PBSC patients (HR, 1.367, P = 0.016), NRM was not increased, mainly as a result of significantly reduced risk of bacterial infections (HR, 0.618, P = 0.010), reflecting more prompt engraftments in PBSC recipients. Subgroup analyses revealed that PBSC transplantation was advantageous in patients transplanted at CR1 and in those without ATG use. PBSC recipients experienced significantly better OS and/or DFS compared with BM recipients in this patient group. CONCLUSIONS The authors' results confirmed the overall safety of unrelated PBSC transplantation for adult AML patients and suggested an advantage of PBSCs, especially for those in CR1. Further optimization of the prophylactic strategy for cGVHD is required to improve the overall outcome in transplantation from unrelated PBSC donors.

Abstract
We have previously shown an advantage of a myeloablative conditioning regimen with reduced toxicity (Fludarabine 150 mg/m2, Treosulfan 42 g/m2, FluTreo) compared to a reduced-intensity regimen. We aimed to determine long-term safety and efficacy of FluTreo. We prospectively studied consecutive patients who received FluTreo in our center (2014-2019) on the basis of age (≥50 years), hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index (HCT-CI) ≥2, or both. FluTreo recipients were then compared to a historical control group. We studied 68 FluTreo recipients, with a median age of 58.5 years and HCT-CI of 3. We calculated cumulative incidence (CI) of acute (grade 2-4) and moderate/severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (29.9% and 25%, respectively). The 3-year CI of treatment-related mortality was 19.1%, associated only with acute GVHD (P < .001). With a median follow-up of 27.3 (range 5.7-84.5) months in surviving patients, the 3-year overall survival (OS) was 56.6%, and disease-free survival (DFS) was 54.9%. Median survival has not yet been reached. Among pretransplantation and transplantation factors, only HCT-CI was associated with DFS and OS (P = .022 and P = .043, respectively). FluTreo recipients aged ≥50 with HCT-CI ≤ 2 had favorable DFS and OS compared with patients aged ≥50 with HCT-CI ≤2 after myeloablative conditioning. Our real-world study confirms that HCT with FluTreo expands the transplant population with favorable outcomes compared to previously used conditions. The choice of HCT in patients of a rather older age and comorbidity index needs to be revisited.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis for unmanipulated haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) include post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). Utilizing EBMT registry, we compared ATG versus PTCy based GVHD prophylaxis in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients undergoing haplo-HCT. Included were 434 patients; ATG (n=98) and PTCy (n=336). Median follow-up was ~2 years. Baseline characteristics were similar between the groups except that the ATG-group was more likely to have relapsed/refractory ALL (P=0.008), non-TBI conditioning (P<0.001), peripheral blood graft source (P=<0.001) and transplanted at an earlier time-period (median year of HCT 2011 vs. 2015). The 100-day grade II-IV and III-IV acute-GVHD was similar between ATG and PTCy, as was 2-year chronic-GVHD. On multivariate analysis (MVA), leukemia-free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS) was better with PTCy compared to ATG prophylaxis. Relapse incidence (RI) was lower in the PTCy group (P=0.03), while non-relapse mortality (NRM) was not different. Advanced disease and lower performance score were associated with poorer LFS and OS and advanced disease with inferior GVHD-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS). Peripheral grafts were associated with higher GVHD compared to bone marrow grafts. In ALL patients undergoing unmanipulated haplo-HCT, PTCy for GVHD prevention resulted in lower RI and improved LFS and OS compared to ATG.

G-CSF-Primed Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Haploidentical Transplantation Could Achieve Satisfactory Clinical Outcomes for Acute Leukemia Patients in the First Complete Remission: A Registered Study. Front Oncol 2021; 11:631625. [PMID: 33791217 PMCID: PMC8005750 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.631625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood (G-PB) harvest is the predominant graft for identical sibling donor and unrelated donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients, but it was controversial in haploidentical related donor (HID) HSCT. In this registry study, we aimed to identify the efficacy of HID G-PB HSCT (HID-PBSCT) for acute leukemia (AL) patients in first complete remission (CR1). Also, we reported the outcomes for the use of G-PB grafts in comparison with the combination of G-BM and G-PB grafts in HID HSCT recipients. Sixty-seven AL patients in CR1 who received HID-PBSCT were recruited at Institute of Hematology, Peking University. Patients who received haploidentical HSCT using the combination of G-BM and G-PB harvests in the same period were enrolled as controls (n=392). The median time from HSCT to neutrophil and platelet engraftment was 12 days (range, 9-19 days) and 12 days (range, 8-171 days), respectively. The 28-day cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet engraftment after HSCT was 98.5% and 95.5%, respectively. The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were 29.9% (95%CI 18.8-40.9%) and 7.5% (95%CI 1.1-13.8%), respectively. The cumulative incidences of total and moderate-severe chronic GVHD were 54.9% (95%CI 40.9-68.8%) and 17.4% (95%CI 6.7-28.0%), respectively. The cumulative incidences of relapse and non-relapse mortality were 13.9% (95%CI 5.4-22.5%) and 3.4% (95%CI 0-8.1%), respectively. The probabilities of overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) were 84.7% (95%CI 74.7-94.7%) and 82.7% (95%CI 73.3-92.1%) respectively. Compared with the HID HSCT recipients using the combination of G-BM and G-PB grafts, the engraftments of neutrophil and platelet were both significantly faster for the G-PB group, and the other clinical outcomes were all comparable between the groups. In multivariate analysis, graft types did not influence the clinical outcomes. Overall, for the patients with AL CR1, G-PB graft could be considered an acceptable graft for HID HSCT recipients. This study was registered at https://clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03756675.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Addition of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCY) to standard immunosuppressive agents reduces GVHD in different donor settings. METHODS We compared the outcomes of adults with acute myeloid leukemia undergoing allo-HSCT from HLA-identical sibling donors after the use of PTCY (n = 197) or ATG (n = 1913). RESULTS Patients in the PTCY group were younger than those in the ATG group (median age, 47 vs 54 years; P < .01). Peripheral blood was the most frequently used stem cell source, being significantly more frequent in the ATG group than in the PTCY group (95% vs 70% P < .01). The conditioning regimen was more frequently myeloablative in the PTCY group than in the ATG group (59% vs 48%; P < .01). Time to neutrophil engraftment was shorter in the ATG group than in the PTCY group (17 vs 20 days; P < .01). No differences were observed according to the other transplantation outcomes, except for chronic GVHD of all grades and extensive chronic GVHD at 2 years, which were significantly lower in the ATG group compared with the PTCY group (P < .02). CONCLUSION PTCY is feasible in an HLA-identical sibling setting, and despite similar outcomes, ATG may be associated with lower incidence of chronic GVHD.

Days Alive Outside Hospital and Readmissions in Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Transplants from Identical Siblings or Alternative Donors. Mediterr J Hematol Infect Dis 2020; 12:e2020055. [PMID: 32952966 PMCID: PMC7485463 DOI: 10.4084/mjhid.2020.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
We have studied the number of days alive outside the Hospital (DAOH) and the number of readmissions within the first 100 days after transplant in 185 patients who received an allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The donors were matched siblings (SIB; n=61), or alternative donors (ALT; n=124). The median number of DAOH for SIB transplants (78 days, range 21–84) was significantly greater than DAOH for ALT donor grafts (73 days, range 2–87) (p=0.0003). Other positive predictors of DAOH were the use of reduced-intensity regimens (p=0.01), grade 0-I acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) (p=0.0006), and a comorbidity index equal or less than two (p=0.04). Fifty-one patients required readmission (22%), which was predicted by grade II–IV acute GvHD (p=0.009), higher comorbidity index (p=0.06), and ALT donors as compared to SIBS (p=0.08). The CI of readmission was 18% (95%CI 10–31) for SIB and 30% (95%CI 23–39) for ALT donor grafts. The non relapse mortality (NRM) for patients re-admitted was 25% (95%CI 15–43%), compared to 5% (95%CI 2–12%) for patients not readmitted (p=0.0001). In a multivariate analysis, readmission was the strongest predictor of non-relapse mortality (NRM) (HR 2.0) (p=0.0006) and survival (HR 3.4) (p<0.0001).

Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation versus Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation for Hematologic Malignancies in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2019; 26:88-93. [PMID: 31394270 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2019.07.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2019] [Revised: 06/28/2019] [Accepted: 07/25/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) is being increasingly performed as an alternative to bone marrow transplantation (BMT); however, PBSCT has not been proven to have equivalent outcome to BMT. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare survival rates and treatment-related complications between PBSCT and BMT for pediatric hematologic malignancies. We searched Medline, Embase plus Embase classics, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for the terms "hematopoietic stem cell transplantation" AND "allogeneic transplantation" AND "children", including randomized controlled studies and cohort studies without language limitations. We identified 7 of 5368 studies for inclusion in our meta-analysis. The cohorts of these studies included a total of 4328 patients, 3185 who underwent BMT and 1143 who underwent PBSCT. Five-year overall survival was similar in the 2 groups (PBSCT, 56.2%; BMT, 63.5%; relative risk [RR], 1.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], .91 to 1.52), as was the 5-year event-free survival (PBSCT, 49.9%; BMT, 57.2%; RR, 1.14; 95% CI, .93 to 1.39). The incidences of nonrelapse mortality and chronic graft-versus-host disease were higher in the PBSCT group compared with the BMT group (RR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.50 to 1.99 versus RR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.18 to 2.03). This meta-analysis found insufficient evidence to conclude that peripheral blood stem cells are equivalent to bone marrow. The results indicate that bone marrow can still be a preferred donor source for pediatric hematologic malignancies.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the most established form of cancer immunotherapy and has been successfully applied for the treatment and cure of otherwise lethal neoplastic blood disorders. Cancer immune surveillance is mediated to a large extent by alloreactive T and natural killer (NK) cells recognizing genetic differences between patient and donor. Profound insights into the biology of these effector cells has been obtained over recent years and used for the development of innovative strategies for intelligent donor selection, aiming for improved graft-versus-leukemia effect without unmanageable graft-versus-host disease. The cellular composition of the stem cell source plays a major role in modulating these effects. This review summarizes the current state-of the-art of donor selection according to HLA, NK alloreactivity and stem cell source.

Abstract
Peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) from unrelated donors can serve as a graft source for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Currently, PB is most commonly used in roughly 80% of adult recipients. Determining the long-term impact of graft source on outcomes would inform this decision. Data collected by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research from 5200 adult recipients of a first HCT from an 8/8 or 7/8 HLA antigen-matched unrelated donor for treatment of acute leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome between 2001 and 2011 were analyzed to determine the impact of graft source on graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) relapse-free survival (GRFS), defined as freedom from grade III/IV acute GVHD, chronic GVHD requiring immunosuppressive therapy, relapse, and death, and overall survival. GRFS at 2 years was superior in BM recipients compared with PB recipients (16%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 14% to 18% versus 10%; 95% CI, 8% to 11%; P <.0001) in the 8/8 HLA-matched cohort and 7/8 HLA-matched cohort (11%; 95% CI, 8% to 14% versus 5%; 95% CI, 4% to 7%; P = .001). With 8/8 HLA-matched unrelated donors, overall survival at 5 years was superior in recipients of BM (43%; 95% CI, 40% to 46% versus 38%; 95% CI, 36% to 40%; P = .014). The inferior 5-year survival in the PB cohort was attributable to a higher frequency of deaths while in remission compared with the BM cohort. For recipients of 7/8 HLA-matched grafts, survival at 5 years was similar in BM recipients and PB recipients (32% versus 29%; P = .329). BM grafts are associated with improved long-term GRFS and overall survival in recipients of matched unrelated donor HCT and should be considered the unrelated allograft of choice, when available, for adults with acute leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome.

Refined graft-versus-host disease/relapse-free survival in transplant from HLA-identical related or unrelated donors in acute myeloid leukemia. Bone Marrow Transplant 2018; 53:1295-1303.

Abstract
Refined graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)/relapse-free survival (GRFS) considers main outcomes of allogeneic stem cell transplant (HSCT), estimating long-term survival without significant morbidity as a surrogate of HSCT success. We compared GRFS in 5059 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), undergoing HSCT in first complete remission from 2000 to 2015 either from a matched sibling (MSD, n = 3731) or unrelated donor (MUD, n = 1328). Median age was 49 (range: 18-76) years. Median follow-up was 32 and 60 months in MSD and MUD, respectively (p < 0.01). Compared to MSD, at 4 years, MUD recipients had lower GRFS, with higher NRM, grade III-IV acute GVHD, and extensive chronic GVHD (HR: 1.42, p < 0.01). We also performed a risk factor analyses, showing unfavorable cytogenetics (HR: 1.42, p < 0.01) and peripheral blood as stem cell source (HR: 1.22, p < 0.01) associated to lower GRFS, while this was higher with in vivo T-cell depletion (TCD, HR: 0.73, p < 0.01) and shorter time from diagnosis to HSCT (HR 0.96, p < 0.01). Different factors, modifiable or not, such as donor type, stem cell source, disease biology, and in vivo TCD, impact on GRFS and this may guide in the future transplant choices to improve morbidity and long-term quality of life.

High CD3+ and CD34+ peripheral blood stem cell grafts content is associated with increased risk of graft-versus-host disease without beneficial effect on disease control after reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic transplantation from matched unrelated donors for acute myeloid leukemia - an analysis from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Oncotarget 2017; 7:27255-66. [PMID: 27036034 PMCID: PMC5053647 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.8463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2016] [Accepted: 03/23/2016] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Inconsistent results have been reported regarding the influence of graft composition on the incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD), disease control and survival after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT). These discrepancies may be at least in part explained by the differences in disease categories, disease status at transplant, donor type and conditioning. The current retrospective EBMT registry study aimed to analyze the impact of CD3+ and CD34+ cells dose on the outcome of RIC allo-PBSCT in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in first complete remission, allografted from HLA-matched unrelated donors (10 of 10 match). We included 203 adults. In univariate analysis, patients transplanted with the highest CD3+ and CD34+ doses (above the third quartile cut-off point values, >347 x 10^6/kg and >8.25 x 10^6 /kg, respectively) had an increased incidence of grade III-IV acute (a) GVHD (20% vs. 6%, P = .003 and 18% vs. 7%, P = .02, respectively). There was no association between cellular composition of grafts and transplant-related mortality, AML relapse, incidence of chronic GVHD and survival. Neither engraftment itself nor the kinetics of engraftment were affected by the cell dose. In multivariate analysis, CD3+ and CD34+ doses were the only adverse predicting factors for grade III-IV aGVHD (HR = 3.6; 95%CI: 1.45-9.96, P = .006 and 2.65 (1.07-6.57), P = .04, respectively). These results suggest that careful assessing the CD3+ and CD34+ graft content and tailoring the cell dose infused may help in reducing severe acute GVHD risk without negative impact on the other transplantation outcomes.

Mobilization of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell donors with intravenous plerixafor mobilizes a unique graft. Blood 2017; 129:2680-2692. [PMID: 28292947 DOI: 10.1182/blood-2016-09-739722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2016] [Accepted: 03/02/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
A single subcutaneous (SC) injection of plerixafor results in rapid mobilization of hematopoietic progenitors, but fails to mobilize 33% of normal allogeneic sibling donors in 1 apheresis. We hypothesized that changing the route of administration of plerixafor from SC to IV may overcome the low stem cell yields and allow collection in 1 day. A phase 1 trial followed by a phase 2 efficacy trial was conducted in allogeneic sibling donors. The optimal dose of IV plerixafor was determined to be 0.32 mg/kg. The primary outcome of reducing the failure to collect ≥2 × 106 CD34+/kg recipient weight in 1 apheresis collection to ≤10% was not reached. The failure rate was 34%. Studies evaluating the stem cell phenotype and gene expression revealed a novel plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursor preferentially mobilized by plerixafor with high interferon-α producing ability. The observed cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia rate for patients at risk was low (15%), as were the rates of acute grade 2-4 graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (21%). Day 100 treatment related mortality was low (3%). In conclusion, plerixafor results in rapid stem cell mobilization regardless of route of administration and resulted in novel cellular composition of the graft and favorable recipient outcomes. These trials were registered at clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00241358 and #NCT00914849.

Increased age-associated mortality risk in HLA-mismatched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Haematologica 2017; 102:796-803. [PMID: 28057735 PMCID: PMC5395120 DOI: 10.3324/haematol.2016.151340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2016] [Accepted: 12/28/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
We investigated a possible interaction between age-associated risk and HLA-mismatch associated risk on prognosis in different age categories of recipients of unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) (n=3019). Patients over 55 years of age transplanted with 8/10 donors showed a mortality risk of 2.27 (CI 1.70–3.03, P<0.001) and 3.48 (CI 2.49–4.86, P<0.001) when compared to 10/10 matched patients in the same age group and to 10/10 matched patients aged 18–35 years, respectively. Compared to 10/10 matched transplantations within each age category, the Hazards Ratio for 8/10 matched transplantation was 1.14, 1.40 and 2.27 in patients aged 18–35 years, 36–55 and above 55 years. Modeling age as continuous variable showed different levels of risk attributed to age at the time of transplantation [OS: 10/10: Hazards Ratio 1.015 (per life year); 9/10: Hazards Ratio: 1.019; 8/10: Hazards Ratio 1.026]. The interaction term was significant for 8/10 transplantations (P=0.009). Findings for disease-free survival and transplant-related mortality were similar. Statistical models were stratified for diagnosis and included clinically relevant predictors except cytomegalovirus status and Karnofsky performance status. The risk conferred by age at the time of transplantation varies according to the number of HLA-mismatches and leads to a disproportional increase in risk for elderly patients, particularly with double mismatched donors. Our findings highlight the importance of HLA-matching, especially in patients over 55 years of age, as HLA-mismatches are less well tolerated in these patients. The interaction between age-associated risk and HLA-mismatches should be considered in donor selection and in the risk assessment of elderly HSCT recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to identify features in routine evaluation of pre-hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) bone marrow samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that influenced patient outcome. METHODS Of 140 patients, evidence of residual leukemia (RL) was identified in 38 (27%) of pre-HCT samples, as defined by 5% or more aspirate blasts, increased blood blasts, clustered or necrotic blasts on biopsy specimens, and/or leukemia-associated karyotypic abnormalities. RESULTS Morphologic or karyotypic evidence of RL was significantly associated with shorter leukemia-free survival (LFS) compared with cases without identifiable RL (median, 7.1 vs 28.3 months; P < .0001). Upon multivariable analysis, RL, prior relapse, age, high-risk karyotype, and alternate donor source were each independently associated with shorter LFS. RL in pre-HCT samples was more strongly associated with shorter LFS in patients with intermediate or favorable-risk AML karyotype ( P = .001) than secondary or adverse karyotype-risk AML ( P = .04). CONCLUSIONS Rigorous morphologic and karyotypic evaluation of pretransplant marrows is practical and important for posttransplant prognosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION High-dose conditioning regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) as well as intensive poly-chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) induce prolonged periods of neutropenia. The duration of the neutropenia is particularly long following umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). Areas covered: After briefly reviewing the impact of hematopoietic growth factors administration to hasten hematologic reconstitution after allo-HCT or intensive AML chemotherapy, this article summarizes recent approaches that have been investigated to prompt hematologic reconstruction after UCBT or intensive AML chemotherapy. Expert opinion: In the allo-HCT setting, administration of G-CSF or GM-CSF shortened the duration of the neutropenia but failed to decrease infection-related mortality or to improve survival. Novel approaches to hasten hematological reconstruction after UCBT such as double UCBT with expansion of one of the 2 UCB units with Notch ligand, mesenchymal stromal cells, nicotinamide, or StemRegenin 1, co-transplanting a single UCB unit with HLA-haploidentical CD34+ cells, or increasing UCB HSC homing to marrow niches via direct intra bone UCB administration, pulse treatment with dmPGE2 or enforced fucosylation are promising and deserve further investigations in prospective phase III studies. In the AML setting, G-CSF or GM-CSF administration after intensive chemotherapy decreased the duration of the neutropenia without improving survival.

Abstract
PURPOSE Related donor haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (Haplo-HCT) using post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) is increasingly used in patients lacking HLA-matched sibling donors (MSD). We compared outcomes after Haplo-HCT using PT-Cy with MSD-HCT in patients with lymphoma, using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research registry. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 987 adult patients undergoing either Haplo-HCT (n = 180) or MSD-HCT (n = 807) following reduced-intensity conditioning regimens. The haploidentical group received graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with PT-Cy with or without a calcineurin inhibitor and mycophenolate. The MSD group received calcineurin inhibitor-based GVHD prophylaxis. RESULTS Median follow-up of survivors was 3 years. The 28-day neutrophil recovery was similar in the two groups (95% v 97%; P = .31). The 28-day platelet recovery was delayed in the haploidentical group compared with the MSD group (63% v 91%; P = .001). Cumulative incidence of grade II to IV acute GVHD at day 100 was similar between the two groups (27% v 25%; P = .84). Cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD at 1 year was significantly lower after Haplo-HCT (12% v 45%; P < .001), and this benefit was confirmed on multivariate analysis (relative risk, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.31; P < .001). For Haplo-HCT v MSD-HCT, 3-year rates of nonrelapse mortality (15% v 13%; P = .41), relapse/progression (37% v 40%; P = .51), progression-free survival (48% v 48%; P = .96), and overall survival (61% v 62%; P = .82) were similar. Multivariate analysis showed no significant difference between Haplo-HCT and MSD-HCT in terms of nonrelapse mortality (P = .06), progression/relapse (P = .10), progression-free survival (P = .83), and overall survival (P = .34). CONCLUSION Haplo-HCT with PT-Cy provides survival outcomes comparable to MSD-HCT, with a significantly lower risk of chronic GVHD.

Abstract
Peripheral blood (PB), compared with bone marrow graft, has higher stem cell content, leads to faster engraftment and is more convenient for collection. Consequently, the use of PB graft has significantly increased in recent years. Although the use of PB graft is acceptable or even preferred to bone marrow graft in matched related donor allogeneic transplant due to a possibility of improved survival, PB graft increases the risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease and associated long-term toxicities in the setting of matched unrelated donor allogeneic transplant. In haploidentical transplant, mitigation of graft-versus-host disease with the use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide is a hypothesis-generating possibility; however, available studies have significant limitations to draw any definite conclusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing numbers of patients are receiving haplo-identical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) for treatment of acute leukemia with reduced intensity (RIC) or myeloablative (MAC) conditioning regimens. The impact of conditioning intensity in haplo-SCT is unknown. METHODS We performed a retrospective registry-based study comparing outcomes after T-replete haplo-SCT for patients with acute myeloid (AML) or lymphoid leukemia (ALL) after RIC (n = 271) and MAC (n = 425). Regimens were classified as MAC or RIC based on published criteria. RESULTS A combination of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) with one calcineurin inhibitor and mycophenolate mofetil (PT-Cy-based regimen) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was used in 66 (25%) patients in RIC and 125 (32%) in MAC groups. Patients of RIC group were older and had been transplanted more recently and more frequently for AML with active disease at transplant. Percentage of engraftment (90 vs. 92%; p = 0.58) and day 100 grade II to IV acute GVHD (24 vs. 29%, p = 0.23) were not different between RIC and MAC groups. Multivariable analyses, run separately in AML and ALL, showed a trend toward higher relapse incidence with RIC in comparison to MAC in AML (hazard ratio (HR) 1.34, p = 0.09), and no difference in both AML and ALL in terms of non-relapse mortality (NRM) chronic GVHD and leukemia-free survival. There was no impact of conditioning regimen intensity in overall survival (OS) in AML (HR = 0.97, p = 0.79) but a trend for worse OS with RIC in ALL (HR = 1.44, p = 0.10). The main factor impacting outcomes was disease status at transplantation (HR ≥ 1.4, p ≤ 0.01). GVHD prophylaxis with PT-Cy-based regimen was independently associated with reduced NRM (HR 0.63, p = 0.02) without impact on relapse incidence (HR 0.99, p = 0.94). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that T-replete haplo-SCT with both RIC and MAC, in particular associated with PT-Cy, are valid options in first line treatment of high risk AML or ALL.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. There is growing evidence that B lymphocytes may play a role in the pathogenesis of acute graft-versus-host disease. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the efficacy of rituximab-containing conditioning regimens in decreasing graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients who received standardized tacrolimus-based graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis regimens. Patients were divided into two cohorts, based on the presence (RTX, n = 54) or absence (No-RTX, n = 105) of rituximab in the conditioning regimen and were matched 1:2 for major graft-versus-host disease risk factors. The incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease was not different between the two groups (37% vs. 26%, p = 0.147). When restricting the analysis to recipients of peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplants, the RTX group had a higher incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease, relapse, or death prior to day 100 (55% vs. 36%, p = 0.037). The median time to the onset of acute graft-versus-host disease was no different between the RTX and No-RTX groups (67 vs. 74 days, respectively, p = 0.141). Inhibition of antigen presentation by B cells with rituximab-based conditioning regimens does not appear to reduce the incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia is the most common indication for an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. The introduction of reduced intensity conditioning has expanded the recipient pool for transplantation, which has importantly made transplant an option for the more commonly affected older age groups. Reduced intensity conditioning allogeneic transplantation is currently the standard of care for patients with intermediate or high-risk acute myeloid leukemia and is now most often employed in older patients and those with medical comorbidities. Despite being curative for a significant proportion of patients, post-transplant relapse remains a challenge in the reduced intensity conditioning setting. Herein we discuss the studies that demonstrate the feasibility of reduced intensity conditioning allogeneic transplants, compare the outcomes of reduced intensity conditioning versus chemotherapy and conventional myeloablative conditioning regimens, describe the optimal donor and stem cell source, and consider the impact of post-remission consolidation, comorbidities, center experience, and more intensive (reduced toxicity conditioning) regimens on outcomes. Additionally, we discuss the need for further prospective studies to optimize transplant outcomes.

Abstract
We quantified the risk of second cancer and late mortality in a population-based Australian cohort of 3273 adult (≥15 years) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (1992 to 2007). Most recipients received nonradiation-based conditioning and a peripheral blood graft from a matched related donor. Using record linkage with death and cancer registries, 79 second cancers were identified a median of 3.5 years after transplantation. The competing-risk adjusted cumulative incidence of second cancers was 3.35% (95% CI, 2.59 to 4.24) at 10 years, and the cancer risk relative to the matched general population was 2.10 (95% CI, 1.65 to 2.56). We observed an excess risk of melanoma and lip, tongue, esophagus, and soft tissue cancers. Cancer risk relative to the general population was elevated for those transplanted for lymphoma, some leukemia subtypes, and severe aplastic anemia, recipients who developed chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and irrespective of radiation-based conditioning or stem cell source. In those alive 2 years after transplantation (n = 1463), the cumulative incidence of late mortality was 22.2% (95% CI, 19.7 to 24.9) at 10 years, and the risk of death relative to the matched general population was 13.8 (95% CI, 12.2 to 15.6). In multivariable modeling, risk of late death was reduced for females compared with males and those transplanted for chronic myeloid leukemia compared with acute myeloid leukemia; risk was increased for recipients with discordant sex donors, cGVHD, those undergoing second transplants, and disease relapse. Adults undergoing allogeneic transplantation have unique cancer and mortality risk profiles that continue to warrant prevention and surveillance activities targeted at high-risk subgroups.

Abstract
Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is an effective immunotherapeutic approach with significant activity in the treatment and prevention of relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. DLI is associated with significant toxicity mainly due to graft-versus-host disease. Moreover, DLI does not produce durable responses in aggressive malignancies like acute leukemia. Improvement in DLI efficacy requires dissociation of graft-versus-leukemia effect from graft-versus-host disease. Minor histocompatibility antigens with tissue restriction and leukemia or tumor-associated antigens represent ideal antigenic targets. A brief overview of the existing methods of DLI administration is the topic of this article. T cells transduced with genes encoding for T-cell receptors with reactivity against minor histocompatibility antigens or leukemia-associated antigens is a promising option.

Abstract
Increasing numbers of patients are receiving reduced intensity conditioning regimen allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We hypothesized that the use of bone marrow graft might decrease the risk of graft-versus-host disease compared to peripheral blood after reduced intensity conditioning regimens without compromising graft-versus-leukemia effects. Patients who underwent reduced intensity conditioning regimen allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from 2000 to 2012 for acute leukemia, and who were reported to the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation were included in the study. Eight hundred and thirty-seven patients receiving bone marrow grafts were compared with 9011 peripheral blood transplant recipients after reduced intensity conditioning regimen. Median follow up of surviving patients was 27 months. Cumulative incidence of engraftment (neutrophil ≥0.5×10(9)/L at day 60) was lower in bone marrow recipients: 88% versus 95% (P<0.0001). Grade II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease was lower in bone marrow recipients: 19% versus 24% for peripheral blood (P=0.005). In multivariate analysis, after adjusting for differences between both groups, overall survival [Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.90; P=0.05] and leukemia-free survival (HR 0.88; P=0.01) were higher in patients transplanted with peripheral blood compared to bone marrow grafts. Furthermore, peripheral blood graft was also associated with decreased risk of relapse (HR 0.78; P=0.0001). There was no significant difference in non-relapse mortality between recipients of bone marrow and peripheral blood grafts, and chronic graft-versus-host disease was significantly higher after peripheral blood grafts (HR 1.38; P<0.0001). Despite the limitation of a retrospective registry-based study, we found that peripheral blood grafts after reduced intensity conditioning regimens had better overall and leukemia-free survival than bone marrow grafts. However, there is an increase in chronic graft-versus-host disease after peripheral blood grafts. Long-term follow up is needed to clarify whether chronic graft-versus-host disease might increase the risk of late morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
AML is currently the most common indication for reduced-intensity conditioned (RIC) allo-SCT. Reduced-intensity regimens allow a potent GVL response to occur with minimized treatment-related toxicity in patients of older age or with comorbidities that preclude the use of myeloablative conditioning. Whether RIC SCT is appropriate for younger and more standard risk patients is not well defined and the field is changing rapidly; a prospective randomized trial of myeloablative vs RIC (BMT-CTN 0901) was recently closed when early results indicated better outcomes for myeloablative regimens. However, detailed results are not available, and all patients in that study were eligible for myeloablative conditioning. RIC transplants will likely remain the standard of care as many patients with AML are not eligible for myeloablative conditioning. Recent publication of mature results from retrospective and prospective cohorts provide contemporary efficacy and toxicity data for these attenuated regimens. In addition, recent studies explore the use of alternative donors, introduce regimens that attempt to reduce toxicity without reducing intensity, and identify predictive factors that pave the way to personalized approaches. These studies paint a picture of the future of RIC transplants. Here we review the current status of RIC allogeneic SCT in AML.

Abstract
Although stem cell mobilization has been performed for more than 20 years, little is known about the effects of mobilizing agents on apheresis composition and the impact of graft cell subsets on patients' outcome. With the increasing use of plerixafor and the inclusion of poor mobilizers in autologous transplant procedures, new parameters other than CD34(+) stem cell dose are emerging; plerixafor seems to mobilize more primitive CD34(+)/CD38(-) stem cells compared with G-CSF, but their correlation with stable hematopoietic engraftment is still obscure. Immune recovery is as crucial as hematopoietic reconstitution, and higher T and natural killer cells infused within the graft have been correlated with better outcome in autologous transplant; recent studies showed increased mobilization of immune effectors with plerixafor compared with G-CSF, but further data are needed to clarify the clinical impact of these findings. In the allogeneic setting, much evidence suggests that mobilized T-cell alloreactivity is tempered by G-CSF, probably with the mediation of dendritic cells, even though no clear correlation with GVL and GVHD has been found. Plerixafor is not approved in healthy donors yet; early data suggest it might mobilize a GVHD protective balance of immune effectors, but further studies are needed to define its role in allogeneic transplant.

Comparison of outcomes at two institutions of patients with ALL receiving ex vivo T-cell-depleted or unmodified allografts. Bone Marrow Transplant 2015; 50:493-8.

Abstract
We compared outcomes of adult patients receiving T-cell-depleted (TCD) hematopoietic SCT (HCT) without additional GVHD prophylaxis at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC, N=52), with those of patients receiving conventional grafts at MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC, N=115) for ALL in CR1 or CR2. Patients received myeloablative conditioning. Thirty-nine patients received anti-thymocyte globulin at MSKCC and 29 at MDACC. Cumulative incidence of grades 2-4 acute (P=0.001, 17.3% vs 42.6% at 100 days) and chronic GVHD (P=0.006, 13.5% vs 33.4% at 3 years) were significantly lower in the TCD group. The non-relapse mortality at day 100, 1 and 3 years was 15.4, 25.0 and 35.9% in the TCD group and 9.6, 23.6 and 28.6% in the unmodified group (P=0.368). There was no difference in relapse (P=0.107, 21.3% vs 35.5% at 3 years), OS (P=0.854, 42.6% vs 43.0% at 3 years) or RFS (P=0.653, 42.8% vs 35.9% at 3 years). In an adjusted model, age >50, cytogenetics and CR status were associated with inferior RFS (hazard ratio (HR)=2.16, P=0.003, HR=1.77, P=0.022, HR=2.47, P<0.001), whereas graft type was NS (HR=0.90, P=0.635). OS and RFS rates are similar in patients undergoing TCD or conventional HCT, but TCD effectively reduces the rate of GVHD.

Abstract
PURPOSE There have been no randomized trials that have compared peripheral blood (PB) with bone marrow (BM) grafts in the setting of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) transplantations for hematologic malignancy. Because immune modulation plays a significant role in sustaining clinical remission after RIC, we hypothesize that higher graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) associated with PB transplantation may offer a survival advantage. PATIENTS AND METHODS The primary outcome evaluated was overall survival. Cox regression models were built to study outcomes after transplantation of PB (n = 887) relative to BM (n = 219) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the three most common indications for unrelated RIC transplantation. Transplantations were performed in the United States between 2000 and 2008. Conditioning regimens consisted of an alkylating agent and fludarabine, and GVHD prophylaxis involved a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) with either methotrexate (MTX) or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). RESULTS After adjusting for age, performance score, donor-recipient HLA-match, disease, and disease status at transplantation (factors associated with overall survival), there were no significant differences in 5-year rates of survival after transplantation of PB compared with BM: 34% versus 38% with CNI-MTX and 27% versus 20% with CNI-MMF GVHD prophylaxis. CONCLUSION Survival after transplantation of PB and BM are comparable in the setting of nonirradiation RIC regimens for hematologic malignancy. The effect of GVHD prophylaxis on survival merits further evaluation.

Abstract
DCs are potent APCs and key regulators of innate and adaptive immunity. After allo-SCT, their reconstitution in the peripheral blood (PB) to levels similar to those in healthy individuals tends to be slow. We investigate the age- and sex-dependant immune reconstitution of myeloid (mDC) and plasmacytoid DC (pDC) in the PB of 45 children with leukaemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (aged 1-17 years, median 10) after allo-SCT with regard to relapse, acute GVHD (aGVHD) and relapse-free survival. Low pDC/μL PB up to day 60 post SCT are associated with higher incidence of moderate or severe aGVHD (P=0.035), whereas high pDC/μL PB up to day 60 are associated with higher risk of relapse (P<0.001). The time-trend of DCs/μL PB for days 0-200 is a significant predictor of relapse-free survival for both mDCs (P<0.001) and pDCs (P=0.020). Jointly modelling DC reconstitution and complications improves on these simple criteria. Compared with BM, PBSC transplants tend to show slower mDC/pDC reconstitution (P=0.001, 0.031, respectively), but have no direct effect on relapse-free survival. These results suggest an important role for both mDCs and pDCs in the reconstituting immune system. The inclusion of mDCs and pDCs may improve existing models for complication prediction following allo-SCT.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is a very effective therapeutic modality with curative potential in patients with hematological malignancies. The therapeutic efficacy is mainly based on the alloreactive reaction of donor lymphocytes against malignant cells of the recipient named as 'graft-versus-leukemia' or 'graft-versus-tumor' (GVL, GVT) effect. However, besides the beneficial GVL effect, alloreactive reaction attacks normal cells and provokes the deleterious 'graft-versus-host disease' (GVHD) which represents the major limitation of allo-SCT. Current trials have focused on a dual goal: augmentation of GVL and complete abolishment of GVHD. From a theoretical point of view complete dissociation of GVL from GVHD can occur by selecting antigenic targets present on malignant and absent from normal cells. Hematopoietic tissue-restricted minor histocompatibility antigens and leukemia or tumor-associated antigens are ideal candidates for tumor-targeted immunotherapy. Other options for inducing anti-tumor immunity in the absence of GVHD are natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy, amplification of immune responses by using monoclonal antibodies, and bispecific T and NK-cell engagers. Genetically modified immune effectors such as T-cells armed with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) or transduced with T-cell receptors with anti-tumor specificity are another exciting field of immunotherapy against malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an established treatment option for many malignant and non-malignant disorders. In the past two decades, peripheral blood stem cells replaced bone marrow as stem cell source due to faster engraftment and practicability. Previous meta-analyses analysed patients treated from 1990 to 2002 and demonstrated no impact of the stem cell source on overall survival, but a greater risk for graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in peripheral blood transplants. As transplant indications and conditioning regimens continue to change, whether the choice of the stem cell source has an impact on transplant outcomes remains to be determined. OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of bone marrow versus peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in adult patients with haematological malignancies with regard to overall survival, incidence of relapse and non-relapse mortality, disease-free survival, transplant-related mortality, incidence of GvHD and time to engraftment. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2014, Issue 1), MEDLINE (from 1948 to February 2014), trial registries and conference proceedings. The search was conducted in October 2011 and was last updated in February 2014. We did not apply any language restrictions. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing bone marrow and peripheral blood allogeneic stem cell transplantation in adults with haematological malignancies. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors screened abstracts and extracted and analysed data independently. We contacted study authors for additional information. We used the standard methodological procedures expected by The Cochrane Collaboration. MAIN RESULTS We included nine RCTs that met the pre-defined selection criteria, involving a total of 1521 participants. Quality of data reporting was heterogeneous among the studies. Overall, the risk of bias in the included studies was low.For the primary outcome overall survival, our analysis demonstrated comparable results between bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) (six studies, 1330 participants; hazard ratio (HR) 1.07; 95% CI 0.91 to 1.25; P value = 0.43; high-quality evidence).Disease-free survival (six studies, 1225 participants; HR 1.04; 95% CI 0.89 to 1.21; P value = 0.6; moderate-quality of evidence) and non-relapse or transplant-related mortality (three studies, 758 participants; HR 0.98; 95% CI 0.76 to 1.28; P = 0.91; high-quality evidence) were also comparable between transplantation arms.In the related-donor setting, data from two of eight studies with 211 participants (21%) indicated a higher relapse incidence in participants transplanted with bone marrow stem cells rather than peripheral blood stem cells (HR 2.73; 95% CI 1.47 to 5.08; P value = 0.001). There was no clear evidence of a difference in relapse incidence between transplantation groups in unrelated donors (HR 1.07; 95% CI 0.78 to 1.47; P value = 0.66). The difference between the donor-related and -unrelated subgroups (P-value = 0.008) was considered to be statistically significant.BMT was associated with lower rates of overall and extensive chronic GvHD than PBSCT (overall chronic GvHD: four studies, 1121 participants; HR 0.72; 95% CI 0.61 to 0.85; P value = 0.0001, extensive chronic GvHD: four studies, 765 participants; HR 0.69; 95% CI 0.54 to 0.9; P value = 0.006; moderate-quality evidence for both outcomes). The incidence of acute GvHD grades II to IV was not lower (six studies, 1330 participants; HR 1.03; 95% CI 0.89 to 1.21; P value = 0.67; moderate-quality evidence), but there was a trend for a lower incidence of grades III and IV acute GvHD with BMT than with PBSCT (three studies, 925 participants; HR 0.75; 95% CI 0.55 to 1.02; P value = 0.07; moderate-quality evidence).Times to neutrophil and platelet engraftment were longer with BMT than with PBSCT (neutrophil: five studies, 662 participants; HR 1.96; 95% CI 1.64 to 2.35; P value < 0.00001; platelet: four studies, 333 participants; HR 2.17; 95% CI 1.69 to 2.78; P value < 0.00001). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS This systematic review found high-quality evidence that overall survival following allo-HSCT using the current clinical standard stem cell source - peripheral blood stem cells - was similar to that following allo-HSCT using bone marrow stem cells in adults with haematological malignancies. We found moderate-quality evidence that PBSCT was associated with faster engraftment of neutrophils and platelets, but a higher risk of GvHD (in terms of more overall and extensive chronic GvHD). There was an imprecise effect on relapse and on severe (grades III to IV) acute GvHD. Quality of life, which is severely affected by GvHD, was not evaluated.Against the background of transplantation practices that have clearly changed over the past 10 to 15 years, our aim was to provide current data on the best stem cell source for allo-HSCT, by including the results of recently conducted trials. Our review includes participants recruited up to 2009, a proportion of whom were older, had received reduced-intensity conditioning regimens or had been transplanted with stem cells from unrelated donors. However, only one, large, study included relatively recently treated participants. Nevertheless, our findings are comparable to those of previous meta-analyses suggesting that our results hold true for today's practice.

PBSC vs BM grafts with myeloablative conditioning for unrelated donor transplantation in adults with high-risk ALL. Bone Marrow Transplant 2014; 49:773-9.

Abstract
Few studies are available that compare PBSC and BM from unrelated donors, especially in adult high-risk ALL. To determine which graft source is superior in adult high-risk ALL, we analyzed the long-term outcomes of 106 consecutive transplants from 8/8-matched or 7/8-matched unrelated donors (38 PBSC vs 68 BM). All patients received a uniform strategy of pre-transplant therapy, myeloablative conditioning and GVHD prophylaxis. At 5 years, PBSC transplants showed higher incidence of chronic GVHD than did BM transplants (74.3% vs 46.7%, P=0.001). PBSC transplants showed outcomes comparable to those of BM transplants for relapse (23.7% vs 28.1%), non-relapse mortality (18.4% vs 25.0%), disease-free survival (57.9% vs 46.9%) and OS (57.9% vs 50.0%). In a separate comparison of outcomes between the two graft sources according to the presence of a Ph chromosome, no significant advantage of PBSC over BM was found in both subgroups of patients. Our data suggest that the outcomes of unrelated donor transplantation are similar between PBSC and BM in adult high-risk ALL. Whether PBSC should be the preferred graft source for a specific subgroup of adult ALL needs to be further investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In unrelated donor allogeneic stem cell transplantation (URD-SCT), most studies reported that peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) resulted in higher incidence of acute and/or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) without survival benefits compared with bone marrow (BM). To overcome these shortcomings of PBSC, we have used a risk-adapted GVHD prophylaxis for patients that received HLA-matched URD-SCT, which was adding low-dose rabbit antithymocyte globulin (Thymoglobulin(®) , 1.25 mg/kg for 2 d) to conditioning in the transplants with PBSC and not BM. METHODS To determine whether this strategy is effective, we analyzed 115 adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia who received HLA-matched URD-SCT with PBSC (n = 70) or BM (n = 45) using our risk-adapted GVHD prophylaxis strategy. RESULTS The PBSC group showed faster neutrophil (11 d vs. 13 d; P < 0.01) and platelet (12 d vs. 18 d; P < 0.01) engraftment compared with the BM group. No difference was observed in the incidence of acute GVHD grade II-IV at 100 d (54.3% vs. 64.4%; P = 0.38) and chronic GVHD at 4 yr (65.1% vs. 60.0%; P = 0.83). Other outcomes including the incidence of relapse (30.8% vs. 31.2%; P = 0.53), non-relapse mortality (13.5% vs. 6.9%; P = 0.24), disease-free survival (55.7% vs. 61.9%; P = 0.68), and overall survival (62.2% vs. 63.2%; P = 0.96) at 4 yr were not significantly different. CONCLUSION Our risk-adapted GVHD prophylaxis strategy resulted in similar transplant outcomes including comparable incidence of GVHD between the PBSC and BM groups in HLA-matched URD-SCT.

Impact of in vivo T-cell depletion on outcome of AML patients in first CR given peripheral blood stem cells and reduced-intensity conditioning allo-SCT from a HLA-identical sibling donor: a report from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

Abstract
The impact of in vivo T-cell depletion on transplantation outcomes in patients transplanted with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) remains controversial. This study assessed the outcome of 1250 adult patients with de novo AML in first CR (CR1) given PBSC from HLA-identical siblings after chemotherapy-based RIC. A total of 554 patients did not receive any form of in vivo T-cell depletion (control group), whereas antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and alemtuzumab were given in 444 and 252 patients, respectively. The incidences of grade II-IV acute GVHD were 21.4, 17.6 and 10.2% in control, ATG and alemtuzumab patients, respectively (P<0.001). In multivariate analysis, the use of ATG and the use of alemtuzumab were each associated with a lower risk of chronic GVHD (P<0.001 each), but a similar risk of relapse, and of nonrelapse mortality, and similar leukemia-free survival and OS. Further, among patients given BU-based RIC, the use of <6 mg/kg ATG did not increase the risk of relapse (hazard ratio, HR=1.1), whereas there was a suggestion for higher relapse risk in patients given 6 mg/kg ATG (HR=1.4, P=0.08). In summary, these data suggest that a certain amount of in vivo T-cell depletion can be safely used in the conditioning of AML patients in CR1 given PBSC after chemotherapy-based RIC.

Impact of postremission consolidation chemotherapy on outcome after reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic stem cell transplantation for patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first complete remission: a report from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Cancer 2013; 120:855-63. [PMID: 24338939 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.28498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2013] [Revised: 09/24/2013] [Accepted: 09/27/2013] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of the current study was to investigate the role of postremission consolidation chemotherapy before reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1). METHODS Of the 789 consecutive patients with AML in CR1 who underwent RIC alloSCT from a human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling or matched unrelated donor peripheral stem cell grafts between 2001 and 2010, 591 patients received at least 1 cycle of consolidation chemotherapy and 198 patients did not receive any consolidation chemotherapy before alloSCT. To minimize inherent survival bias in favor of patients who underwent transplant long after achieving CR1, the study focused on 373 patients who underwent transplant within the median time frame between achievement of CR1 and alloSCT (3 months for patients who underwent alloSCT from matched siblings and 4 months for patients who underwent alloSCT from matched unrelated donors). In this subgroup, 151 patients did not receive any consolidation chemotherapy and 222 patients received ≥ 1 consolidation chemotherapy cycle. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 36 months (range, 2 months-135 months), the 3-year cumulative recurrence incidence (RI) was not significantly different between the groups (36% ± 4% for the group treated without consolidation chemotherapy vs 38% ± 3% for patients who received consolidation chemotherapy; P = .89). In addition, leukemia-free survival was similar between the groups (45% ± 4% and 47% ± 3%, respectively; P = .41). Dose intensity of cytarabine given during consolidation chemotherapy appeared to have no influence on RI. On multivariate analysis, pretransplant consolidation (≥ 1 cycle vs 0 cycles) was found to have no significant impact on RI (hazards ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 0.84-1.97 [P = .24]) or leukemia-free survival (hazards ratio, 1.00; 95% confidence interval, 0.71-1.42 [P = .99]). CONCLUSIONS The data from the current study suggest no apparent advantage for postremission consolidation chemotherapy before RIC alloSCT, provided a donor is readily available.

Abstract
While previous studies have shown comparable clinical results for related and unrelated bone marrow transplantation (BMT), the transplantation outcomes for related and unrelated peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) may not follow the same pattern due to a higher incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-related morbidity and mortality in the case of long-term survival after unrelated PBSCT. Thus, given the higher possibility of an impaired quality of life due to severe GVHD in long-term survivors who receive unrelated PBSCT, the selection of the stem cell source needs to be decided very carefully. In addition, strategic approaches, such as the extended use of immunosuppressant as a GVHD prophylaxis, the use of antithymocyte globulins (ATGs), choosing a younger donor, and optimizing the CD34+ cell dose, need to be adopted to improve the transplantation outcomes by minimizing GVHD-related morbidity and mortality in an unrelated PBSCT setting. This review article provides a comparison of BMT and PBSCT, and related and unrelated PBSCT, plus introduces several adoptable strategies to improve the outcomes of unrelated PBSCT.
