Cancer Med 2024; 13:e6897. [PMID: 38164654 PMCID: PMC10807553 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.6897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Among high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), those with positive minimal residual disease (MRD) are susceptible to poor outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the most suitable preparatory regimen for these patients. METHODS Data were analyzed from 141 patients who received allo-HSCT and were diagnosed with high-risk ALL. These patients underwent intensified conditioning regimens, including either total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI)-etoposide (VP16)-cyclophosphamide (CY) or busulfan (BU)-VP16-CY between October 2016 and November 2022. A total of 141 individuals were in complete remission (CR) before transplantation and, among all patients, 90 individuals exhibited a negative MRD status and 51 patients had a positive MRD status. RESULTS In patients who tested negative for MRD, the incidence of relapse within a 2-year timeframe was 25.0% (24.8%-25.5%), compared with 32.2% (31.2%-33.2%) in MRD-positive patients; however, this difference was not statistically significant. There were no significant differences in the 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 2-year overall survival (OS) rates between the MRD-negative and MRD-positive groups (DFS: 67.2% (57.9%-78.1%) vs. 55.5% (42.6%-72.3%); OS: 69.0% (61.9%-88.2%) vs. 66.7% (53.9%-82.5%)). Furthermore, no notable variations were observed in the occurrence of transplant-related mortality (TRM) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) across the two groups. CONCLUSION This study reveals the benefits of TMLI-VP16-CY and BU-VP16-CY conditioning regimens in high-risk ALL patients with CR and MRD-positive status. A large-scale prospective clinical trial is warranted in the future.

Lower dose of ATG combined with basiliximab for haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is associated with effective control of GVHD and less CMV viremia. Front Immunol 2022; 13:1017850. [PMID: 36458000 PMCID: PMC9705727 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1017850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Currently, the graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consists of an immunosuppressive therapy mainly based on antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). GVHD remains a major complication and limitation to successful allogeneic haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). We modified the ATG-based GVHD prophylaxis with the addition of basiliximab in the setting of haplo-HSCT and attempted to explore the appropriate dosages. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 239 patients with intermediate- or high-risk hematologic malignancies who received haplo-HSCT with unmanipulated peripheral blood stem cells combined or not with bone marrow. All patients received the same GVHD prophylaxis consisting of the combination of methotrexate, cyclosporine or tacrolimus, mycofenolate-mofetil, and basiliximab with different doses of ATG (5-9mg/kg). With a median time of 11 days (range, 7-40 days), the rate of neutrophil engraftment was 96.65%. The 100-day cumulative incidences (CIs) of grade II-IV and III-IV aGVHD were 15.8 ± 2.5% and 5.0 ± 1.5%, while the 2-year CIs of total cGVHD and extensive cGVHD were 9.8 ± 2.2% and 4.1 ± 1.5%, respectively. The 3-year CIs of treatment-related mortality (TRM), relapse, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) were 14.6 ± 2.6%, 28.1 ± 3.4%, 60.9 ± 3.4%, 57.3 ± 3.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the impact of the reduction of the ATG dose to 6 mg/kg or less in combination with basiliximab on GVHD prevention and transplant outcomes among patients was analyzed. Compared to higher dose of ATG(>6mg/kg), lower dose of ATG (≤6mg/kg) was associated with a significant reduced risk of CMV viremia (52.38% vs 79.35%, P<0.001), while the incidences of aGVHD and cGVHD were similar between the two dose levels. No significant effect was found with regard to the risk of relapse, TRM, and OS. ATG combined with basiliximab could prevent GVHD efficiently and safely. The optimal scheme of using this combined regimen of ATG and basiliximab is that administration of lower dose ATG (≤6mg/kg), which seems to be more appropriate for balancing infection control and GVHD prophylaxis.

Influence of graft composition in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing ATG-based haploidentical stem cell transplantation. Front Immunol 2022; 13:993419. [PMID: 36189288 PMCID: PMC9520486 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.993419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
To determine the influence of graft composition in haplo-HSCT, we summarized the long-term consequences of 251 consecutive transplantations from haploidentical donors. For donor-recipient HLA3/6-matched setting, 125 cases used G-CSF-mobilized BM and PBSCs mixtures, while 126 cases only used G-CSF-mobilized PBSCs in HLA4/6-matched transplantation. On the one hand, we wanted to explore the effect of harvests (CD34+ cells and TNCs dosages) on transplantation outcome in the context of haplo-HSCT no matter HLA4/6 or HLA3/6-matched setting. On the other hand, for patients using G-CSF-mobilized BM and PBSCs combination in HLA3/6-matched setting, we attempted to analyze whether TNCs or CD34+ cells from G-CSF-mobilized BM or G-CSF-mobilized PBSCs play the most paramount role on transplantation prognosis. Collectively, patients with hematologic malignancies receiving G-CSF-primed BM and PBSCs harvests had comparable consequences with patients only receiving G-CSF-mobilized PBSCs. Moreover, when divided all patients averagely according to the total amount of transfused nucleated cells, 3-year TRM of the intermediate group (13.06-18.05×108/kg) was only 4.9%, which was remarkably reduced when compared to lower and higher groups with corresponding values 18.3%, 19.6% (P=0.026). The 3-year probabilities of OS and DFS of this intermediate group were 72.6% and 66.5%, which were slightly improved than the lower and higher groups. Most importantly, these data suggest that the transfused nucleated cells from G-CSF-primed BM above than 5.20×108/kg could achieve remarkably lower TRM in haplo-HSCT receiving G-CSF-mobilized BM and PBSCs harvests. These encouraging results suggested that we could improve the efficacy of haplo-HSCT by adjusting the component and relative ratio of transfused graft cells. Nevertheless, the above findings should be confirmed in a randomized prospective comparative research with adequate follow-up.

Comparative analysis of Decitabine intensified BUCY2 and BUCY2 conditioning regimen for high-risk MDS patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Bone Marrow Transplant 2022; 57:1063-1071.

Abstract
The optimal conditioning regimen for high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains elusive. This study aimed to explore the anti-leukemic efficacy and toxicity of Decitabine (Dec, 20 mg/m2/day, day -11 to -7) intensified BUCY2 vs. traditional regimen in high-risk MDS population. We retrospectively evaluated 93 consecutive high-risk MDS patients undergoing allo-HSCT in our institution, comparing discrepancies in clinical characteristics and outcomes between cases using Dec-intensified BUCY2 (n = 52) and traditional BUCY2 regimen (n = 41). Three-year cumulative incidence of relapse after Dec-intensified BUCY2 conditioning was remarkably lower than that of patients using BUCY2 regimen (20.2% vs. 39.0%, p = 0.034). Overall survival and disease-free survival at 3 years for Dec-intensified BUCY2 group were 70.2% and 64.9%, respectively, which were significantly improved when compared with BUCY2 group (51.1% and 43.9%, p = 0.031 and p = 0.027). Furthermore, overall survival and disease-free survival for MDS cases receiving cytoreduction therapy were dramatically better than patients in non-cytoreduction group (p = 0.041, p = 0.047). In summary, the Dec-intensified conditioning regimen could be effective and feasible, providing prominent recurrence control with moderate toxicity for high-risk MDS patients. These patients might also benefit from pre-transplant cytoreductive therapeutic schedules. Larger randomized controlled trials are still needed to further confirm these conclusions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a common complication after T-replete HLA haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) with PTCy. We aim to assess the incidence, severity, and impact of CRS on clinical outcomes of patients who received haplo-HCT using Beijing Protocol. METHODS This was a single-enter retrospective analysis of 286 subjects who received haplo-HCT with Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG). RESULTS We identified 147/268 (54.9%) patients who developed CRS, grade 1 CRS (32.5%) and grade ≥2 CRS (22.4%). Eight patients developed severe CRS. The incidence and severity of CRS did not show significant discrimination among patients who received different doses of ATG. By multivariable analysis, age and the disease status at transplantation were significantly associated with the occurrence of CRS (p =.000 and p = .021). In the univariate analysis for the severity of CRS, compared with CRS grade ≥2, patients with CRS grade 0-1 had higher 1-year overall survival (OS) (p = .009). The cumulative incidence of 100-day grades II-IV acute GVHD was 12.4%. The incidence did not show significant differences between patients with CRS or not. The devolvement of CRS is associated with worse OS, inferior disease-free survival, and higher nonrelapse mortality significantly. But the result appeared to be limited to patients in uncomplete remission status before transplantation. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS CRS is less frequent and milder with a protocol based on ATG. CRS can potentially affect the outcomes after haplo-HCT especially for patients in an uncomplete remission. Prospective clinical trials are needed to provide an appropriate scheme for CRS prophylaxis.

Abstract
This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the outcomes of adult patients with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with either total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI)-containing or non-TMLI conditioning regimen. Seventy adult patients with high-risk ALL who received allo-HSCT were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups based on the conditioning regimen type (TMLI group: n = 29 and non-TMLI group: n = 41). We noted significant statistical differences in the 1-year estimated cumulative incidence of relapse (25% vs. 46.5%, p = 0.018), the 1-year estimated overall survival (73.1% vs. 52.6%, p = 0.033) and disease-free survival (65.2% vs. 48.2%, p = 0.026) but found no considerable difference in transplant-related mortality (12% vs. 13.4%, p = 0.619) between patients in the TMLI and non-TMLI groups. The TMLI-containing regimen is safe and alternative for patients with high-risk ALL undergoing allo-HSCT.

Abstract
Malignancy relapse is the most common cause of treatment failure among recipients of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Conditioning dose intensity can reduce disease relapse but is offset by toxicities. Improvements in radiotherapy techniques and supportive care may translate to better outcomes with higher irradiation doses in the modern era. This study compares outcomes of recipients of increasing doses of high-dose total body irradiation (TBI) divided into intermediate high dose (IH; 13-13.75 Gy) and high dose (HD; 14 Gy) with standard dose (SD; 12 Gy) with cyclophosphamide. A total of 2721 patients ages 18 to 60 years with hematologic malignancies receiving HCT from 2001 to 2013 were included. Cumulative incidences of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at 5 years were 28% (95% confidence interval [CI], 25% to 30%), 32% (95% CI, 29% to 36%), and 34% (95% CI, 28% to 39%) for SD, IH, and HD, respectively (P = .02). Patients receiving IH-TBI had a 25% higher risk of NRM compared with those receiving SD-TBI (12 Gy) (P = .007). Corresponding cumulative incidences of relapse were 36% (95% CI, 34% to 38%), 32% (95% CI, 29% to 36%), and 26% (95% CI, 21% to 31%; P = .001). Hazard ratios for mortality compared with SD were 1.06 (95% CI, .94 to 1.19; P = .36) for IH and .89 (95% CI, .76 to 1.05; P = .17) for HD. The study demonstrates that despite improvements in supportive care, myeloablative conditioning using higher doses of TBI (with cyclophosphamide) leads to worse NRM and offers no survival benefit over SD, despite reducing disease relapse.

Abstract
The optimal conditioning regimen of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for high-risk patients with minimal residual disease (MRD) remains controversial. We studied the results in 98 high-risk acute leukemia patients transplanted with idarubicin (IDA)-intensified conditioning regimens between 2012 January and 2017 January. Among these patients, 31 (31.6%) had more than 5% marrow blasts at time of transplantation and 67 patients were in morphologic remission: MRD negative status at time of conditioning was achieved in 39 patients (39.8%), whereas 28 (28.6%) remained carriers of any other positive MRD level in the bone marrow. Three-year relapse estimates of patients with MRD-positive remission was 22.0%, which was remarkably lower than patients with active disease (45.4%, P = .027) but approximate to that of patients in MRD-negative remission (15.5%, P = .522). There were no significant differences in terms of 3-year estimated overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) between MRD-positive remission and MRD-negative remission groups (71.4% versus 79.1% [P = .562] and 67.9% versus 76.9% [P = .634], respectively). Moreover, the estimated rates of 3-year OS and DFS of patients in MRD-positive remission were significantly better than those in patients with active disease (71.4% versus 41.9% [P = .033] and 67.9% versus 38.7% [P = .037], respectively). These data indicate that IDA-intensified conditioning allo-HSCT could overcome the negative prognostic impact of MRD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surprisingly little is known about the burden of oral mucositis (OM). We provide a systematic review of studies on the burden of OM (incidence, economic impact, health-related quality of life (HRQoL)). METHODS Systematic literature searches were made in BIOSIS, EMBASE, and MEDLINE. Inclusion criteria were studies on OM in hematology/oncology patients of ≥ 18 years, journal articles, English language, and published between 2000 and 2016; OM treatment studies were excluded. Quality assessment was performed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. RESULTS We screened 4,996 hits, and identified 68 studies of which 13 were without transparency on OM grading. The evidence level of 65 studies was rated 'low' or 'very low' in 58.5%, 'moderate' in 20% and 'high' in 21.5%. Mean value of incidence (7 studies) was 83.5% for all grades of OM with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. OM incidence for all grades in head and neck cancer patients was 59.4-100%. Considering the economic impact, 16 studies showed highly variable numbers. HRQoL was measured in 16 studies using 13 different instruments. Statistically significant changes in HRQoL scores were demonstrated. CONCLUSION OM is common, burdensome, costly and imposes major reductions in HRQoL. However, from a quality standpoint, the level of current evidence in OM is disappointing. The field needs continued attention to address methodological challenges.

Zhang R, Shi W, Wang HF, You Y, Zhong ZD, Li WM, Zhang C, Lu X, Wang YD, Zheng P, Fang J, Hong M, Wu QL, Xia LH. Idarubicin-intensified haploidentical HSCT with GvHD prophylaxis of ATG and basiliximab provides comparable results to sibling donors in high-risk acute leukemia. Bone Marrow Transplant 2017; 52:1253-1260. [PMID: 28581464 DOI: 10.1038/bmt.2017.100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2017] [Revised: 04/13/2017] [Accepted: 04/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
We designed a novel haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) system using idarubicin (IDA) intensified conditioning regimens and combination of antithymocyte globulin and basiliximab for GvHD prophylaxis. The outcomes of 110 high-risk acute leukemia patients undergoing haplo-HSCT were compared with 69 contemporaneous high-risk patients receiving HLA-matched sibling transplantation using uniform IDA-intensified regimens. The relapse incidence of haplo-HSCT was 23.4%, and 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) achieved 62.9%, 59.1%, respectively. The cumulative incidences of II-IV and III-IV aGvHD were 28.6 and 14.3%, while limited and extensive cGvHD were 19.4, 13.8%. All these results were equivalent to those of concurrent identical sibling transplantation. Three-year OS and DFS for patients in advance stage reached 48.5, 47.3%. Furthermore, the relapse, 3-year OS of positive minimal residual disease (MRD) patients did not differ from negative MRD patients (18.9% vs 11.5%, 63.6% vs 69.6%), indicating our intensified haplo-HSCT technique could circumvent the dismal prognosis of MRD. These data provide reinforcing evidence that our haplo-HSCT system could dramatically improve the survival of high-risk acute leukemia with low relapse and acceptable transplantation-related mortality, and might be a promising therapeutic option for high-risk patients.
