Melphalan Dose in Combination With Fludarabine Affects Gastrointestinal Toxicity and Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Allogeneic Transplantation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes. Transplant Cell Ther 2024:S2666-6367(24)00588-8. [PMID: 39147136 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2024.08.007] [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: 06/09/2024] [Revised: 07/21/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
Fludarabine (Flu) and melphalan (Mel) reduced-intensity conditioning is frequently used for allogenic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). However, there is limited evidence on the impact of Mel dosing on toxicities and clinical outcomes of allo-HCT. We retrospectively compared 8/8 HLA-matched donor allo-HCT outcomes of 345 patients with AML or MDS receiving total Mel dose of 100 mg/m2 (Mel-100, n = 62) versus 140 mg/m2 (Mel-140, n = 283) in combination with Flu. Median age at allo-HCT was 66 years and median follow-up was 36.5 months. For Mel-100 versus Mel-140 groups, any grade gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity rates were 40.3% versus 67.8% (P < .001), day 100 grade II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) rates were 21.0% versus 43.1% (P = .001) and 2-year chronic GVHD rates were 17.4% versus 27.1% (P = .033). In multivariable analysis, Mel-140 resulted in higher risks of GI toxicity (HR = 1.83, P = .013), grade II to IV acute GVHD (HR=2.35, P = .003), and moderate/severe chronic GVHD (HR = 3.13, P = .007). Total Mel dose had no independent impact on oral mucositis, nonrelapse mortality, relapse, relapse-free survival, and overall survival. While independent validation of our observation is warranted, our findings support using Mel-100 in combination with Flu to minimize allo-HCT toxicities and morbidities related to GVHD.

Abstract
Early studies in allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (alloBMT) demonstrated that HLA-mismatching was protective again relapse. However, benefits in relapse reduction were outweighed by a high risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) when using conventional pharmacological immunosuppression. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide(PTCy)-based platforms abated the risk of GVHD thereby overcoming the negative effects of HLA-mismatching on survival. However, since its inception, PTCy has been shadowed by a reputation for a greater risk of relapse when compared with traditional GVHD prophylaxis. Specifically, whether PTCy reduces the anti-tumor efficacy of HLA-mismatched alloBMT by killing alloreactive T cells has been the subject of debate since the early 2000's. Here we review the many studies demonstrating the potent graft-versus-malignancy (GVM) properties of alloBMT with PTCy. We discuss the laboratory data from PTCy platforms supporting that T regulatory cells may be a major mechanism of prevention of GVHD and that natural killer (NK) cells may be early effectors of GVM. Finally, we propose potential paths to optimize GVM through selecting for class II mismatching and augmenting NK cell activity.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has demonstrated its potential as a curative option for patients with r/r lymphoma. With the introduction of post-transplant cyclophosphamide-based (PTCY) graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis, allo-HCT using haploidentical related donors (Haplo-HSCT) has emerged as a valuable alternative for patients without an available HLA-matched donor. In this study, we compared intermediate and long-term outcomes between Haplo-HSCT and HLA-matched related donor (MRD) and unrelated donor (URD) transplantations in 16 matched pairs using age, disease status, lymphoma classification and performance status as matching criteria. Of note, 88% of patients in each group presented with active disease at the time of conditioning. After a median follow-up of >10 years, 10-year overall and progression-free survival and non-relapse mortality incidence after Haplo-HSCT were 31%, 25% and 38%, respectively, and did not differ compared to the values observed in MRD-HSCT and URD-HSCT. A remarkable lower incidence of acute GvHD ≥ II and moderate and severe chronic GvHD was observed after Haplo-HSCT compared to MRD-HSCT (50%/50%, p = 0.03/0.03) and URD-HSCT (44%/38%, p = 0.04/0.08), resulting in slightly higher 10-year GvHD-free and relapse-free survival (25%) and chronic GvHD-free and relapse-free survival (25%) in the Haplo-HSCT group. In conclusion, Haplo-HSCT is an effective treatment in patients with non-remission NHL. Given its advantage of immediate availability, haploidentical donors should be preferably used in patients with progressive disease lacking an HLA-matched related donor.

Abstract
We evaluated 413 adult patients with lymphoma who underwent unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) with fludarabine and melphalan (FM)-based reduced-intensity conditioning between 2002 and 2017 to investigate longitudinal changes in outcomes and the optimal melphalan dose and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen. Outcomes were compared between FM80/100 (melphalan dose: 80 or 100 mg/m2) and FM140 (melphalan dose: 140 mg/m2), as well as between calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) plus methotrexate (MTX), CNI plus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and CNI alone. The 3-year overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) rates improved over time (OS: 27% in 2000s vs. 42% in 2010s, p < 0.001; NRM: 43% in 2000s vs. 26% in 2010s, p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis showed that in the 2000s, melphalan dose and GVHD prophylaxis regimen did not affect any outcomes. In the 2010s, FM80/100 (vs. FM140) related to better OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.62, p = 0.01) and NRM (HR 0.52, p = 0.016). MTX + CNI and CNI alone (vs. CNI + MMF) related to worse OS (CNI + MTX, HR 2.01, p < 0.001; CNI alone, HR 2.65, p < 0.001) and relapse/progression (CNI + MTX, HR 2.40, p < 0.001; CNI alone, HR 2.13, p = 0.023). In recent years, the use of FM80/100 and CNI + MMF significantly reduced the risk of NRM and relapse/progression, respectively, and resulted in better OS after UCBT for lymphoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Haplo-SCT) and matched unrelated donor transplantation (MUD-SCT) are two important options when a matched sibling donor (MSD) is unavailable. Several studies comparing Haplo-SCT and MUD-SCT have reported inconsistent clinical outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to synthesize the existing evidence regarding outcomes of stem cell transplantations comparing Haplo-SCT with MUD-SCT. METHODS We searched for titles of articles in MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane library, EMBASE database that compared transplantation with Haplo-SCT versus MUD-SCT. To compare clinical outcomes between Haplo-SCT and MUD-SCT, we performed a meta-analysis of 17 studies and reported the pooled odd ratios (OR) of 6 endpoints including overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse rate (RR), acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and chronic graft- versus-host disease (cGVHD). RESULTS We found that Haplo-SCT was associated with a comparable OS (pooled OR of 0.99, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.86-1.14), PFS (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.88-1.15), NRM (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.65-1.04) and RR (OR 1.08, 95% CI 0.95-1.22) compared to MUD-SCT. We also found a significantly decreased risk of aGVHD (OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.62-0.88) and cGVHD (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.38-0.66) in Haplo-SCT group. CONCLUSION Results of this meta-analysis demonstrates that Haplo-SCT achieves comparable clinical outcomes compared to MUD-SCT in terms of OS, PFS, TRM and RR, but is better than MUD-SCT in terms of decreased aGVHD and cGVHD risk. Haplo-SCT is a valid option for patient needing urgent transplantation.

Abstract
Importance Reduced-intensity conditioning and nonmyeloablative conditioning (RIC-NMAC) regimens are frequently used in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, the optimal RIC-NMAC regimen in allogeneic HCT for non-Hodgkin lymphoma is not known. Objective To investigate whether RIC-NMAC regimens at a higher end of the intensity spectrum are associated with increased nonrelapse mortality and lower overall survival compared with RIC-NMAC regimens at the lower end of the intensity spectrum in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing allogeneic HCT. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study used data from 1823 adult patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research registry. Included patients underwent allogeneic HCT using matched related or unrelated donors between January 2008 and December 2016. Statistical analysis was performed from June 1, 2019, to February 10, 2020. Interventions Patients received 1 of 4 RIC-NMAC regimens: fludarabine-intravenous busulfan (Flu-Bu), approximately 6.4 mg/kg (n = 458); fludarabine-melphalan (Flu-Mel140), 140 mg/m2 (n = 885); fludarabine-cyclophosphamide (Flu-Cy) (n = 391); or Flu-Cy with 2 Gy total body irradiation (Flu-Cy-2GyTBI) (n = 89). Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was overall survival. Secondary outcomes were nonrelapse mortality, incidence of relapse, progression-free survival, and the incidence of acute and chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). Results Of 1823 patients, 1186 (65%) were male, with a mean (SD) age of 54.8 (9.9) years. The 4-year adjusted OS was 58% in the Flu-Bu cohort, 67% in the Flu-Cy-2GyTBI cohort, 49% in the Flu-Mel140 cohort, and 63% in the Flu-Cy cohort (P < .001). After adjustment for age, Karnofsky performance score, HCT comorbidity index, NHL subtype, remission status at HCT, and the use of antithymocyte globulin or alemtuzumab, the regression analysis showed a significantly higher mortality risk associated with Flu-Mel140 compared with Flu-Bu (hazard ratio [HR], 1.34; 95% CI, 1.13-1.59; P < .001). Compared with the Flu-Cy cohort, the Flu-Mel140 cohort had a higher risk of chronic GVHD (HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.15-1.65; P < .001). The Flu-Mel140 regimen was associated with a higher nonrelapse mortality risk (HR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.37-2.31; P < .001) compared with the Flu-Bu regimen. Conclusions and Relevance The findings suggest that use of the more intense RIC-NMAC regimen, Flu-Mel140, may have a negative association with overall survival and may be associated with higher nonrelapse mortality. The Flu-Bu and Flu-Cy regimens with or without 2GyTBI regimens appeared to provide comparable overall survival.

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