Wang Y, Lai C, Chen T, Gau J, Teng CJ. Haploidentical and matched unrelated donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation offer similar survival outcomes for acute leukemia. Cancer Rep (Hoboken) 2024; 7:e2060. [PMID: 38600053 PMCID: PMC11006712 DOI: 10.1002/cnr2.2060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) has emerged as an effective approach for acute leukemia, primarily due to the inherent difficulty in finding human leukocyte antigen-matched unrelated donors (MUD). Nevertheless, it remains uncertain whether haplo-HSCT and MUD-HSCT can provide comparable outcomes in patients with acute leukemia. AIMS This study aimed to assess the overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) outcomes between the MUD-HSCT and haplo-HSCT groups. METHODS AND RESULTS This retrospective analysis encompassed adult patients with acute leukemia undergoing the initial allo-HSCT. Among these 85 patients, we stratified 33 patients into the MUD-HSCT group and 52 to the haplo-HSCT group. The primary outcomes were OS and LFS. The median OS was not reached in the haplo-HSCT group, while it reached 29.8 months in patients undergoing MUD-HSCT (p = .211). Likewise, the median LFS periods were 52.6 months in the haplo-HSCT group and 12.7 months in the MUD-HSCT group (p = .212). Importantly, neither the OS nor LFS showed substantial differences between the MUD-HSCT and haplo-HSCT groups. Furthermore, univariate analyses revealed that haplo-HSCT did not demonstrate a significantly higher risk of worse LFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.38-1.25; p = .216) or OS (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.36-1.26; p = .214) than MUD-HSCT. Notably, a high European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation risk score (HR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.10-1.87; p = .007) and non-complete remission (HR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.17-5.23; p = .017) were significantly correlated with worse OS. CONCLUSION Haplo-HSCT may serve as an alternative to MUD-HSCT for the treatment of acute leukemia, offering similar survival outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the only cure for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in second complete remission (CR2). Patients lacking a matched sibling donor (MSD) receive transplants from matched unrelated donors (MUDs), mismatched unrelated donors (MMUDs), haploidentical (haplo) donors, or cord blood. METHODS This is a retrospective, registry-based European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation study that investigates changes in patient- and transplant-related characteristics and posttransplant outcomes over time. RESULTS We identified 3955 adult patients (46.7% female; median age, 52 years [range, 18-78 years]) with AML in CR2 first transplanted between 2005 and 2019 from a MUD 10/10 (61.4%), MMUD 9/10 (21.9%), or haplo donor (16.7%) and followed for 3.7 years. A total of 725 patients were transplanted between 2005 and 2009, 1600 between 2010 and 2014, and 1630 between 2015 and 2019. Over the three time periods, there was a significant increase in patient age (from 48.7 to 53.5 years; p < .001), use of a haplo donor (from 4.6% to 26.4%; p < .001), and use of posttransplant cyclophosphamide (from 0.4% to 29%; p < .001). There was a significant decrease in total body irradiation and in vivo T-cell depletion. In multivariate analysis, transplants performed more recently had better outcomes. Leukemia-free survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.79; p = .002) and overall survival (HR, 0.73; p < .001) increased over time. Similarly, nonrelapse mortality (HR, 0.64; p < .001) decreased over time. We also observed better graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) rates (acute GVHD II-IV: HR, 0.78; p = .03; GVHD-free, relapse-free survival: HR, 0.69; p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Even in the absence of an MSD, outcomes of allo-HCT in CR2 for AML have significantly improved over time, with most favorable outcomes achieved with a MUD.

Analysis of disparities in time to allogeneic transplantation in adults with acute myelogenous leukemia. Blood Adv 2023; 7:3824-3833.

Abstract
Although alternative donors extend transplant access, whether recipient ancestry affects the time to allogeneic transplant is not established. We analyzed the likelihood of clinically significant delays to allograft by patient ancestry in 313 adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) who underwent transplantation. Non-European ancestry patients (n = 99) were more likely than Europeans (n = 214) to receive HLA-mismatched donor allografts (45% vs 24%). Overall, the median time from transplant indication to allograft was 127 days (range, 57-1683). In multivariable analysis, non-Europeans had an increased risk of prolonged indication to transplant time >180 days owing to significant delays in indication to consult >90 days and consult to transplant >120 days. Compared with recipients of HLA-matched unrelated donors (URDs), HLA-mismatched adult donor recipients were at an increased risk of delayed indication to transplant, whereas HLA-identical sibling and cord blood recipients were at a lower risk. Subanalysis showed more indication to transplant delays >180 days in non-European (44%) vs European (19%) 8/8 URD recipients. Finally, the pandemic further exacerbated delays for non-Europeans. In summary, although non-European patients with AML are less likely to receive 8/8 URDs as expected, if they do, their transplants are delayed. HLA-identical siblings and cord blood facilitate the fastest transplants regardless of patient ancestry, whereas other adult donor transplants are delayed. Strategies to mitigate referral barriers, hasten donor evaluation, and use all alternative donor sources are critical to ensure timely transplantation for patients with AML.

Abstract
In order to expand the donor pool and accessibility of the transplant procedure, it was necessary to introduce haplo-identical stem cell transplants in the Fundeni Clinical Institute from 2015. Even if the Romanian population is an ethnically compact white population, many of the patients referred for bone marrow transplant lack a suitable donor. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant from a haplo-identical donor is an alternative option for those patients without an HLA (Human Leucocyte Antigen)-matched donor (sibling or matched unrelated). This procedure was used also as a salvage option for those who experienced engraftment failure or the rejection of the first stem cell graft. In this case series, we present three such cases, with a haplo-transplant used as a salvage protocol (after an engraftment failure or rejection of the first transplanted cells). The patients we present were diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) with MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome), MDS-RAEB 2 (myelodysplastic syndrome-refractory anemia with excess blasts 2), and SAA (severe aplastic anemia). In two of the three cases, the engraftment failure may have been due to the conditioning Fludarabine/Busulfan/Cyclophosphamide (Flu/Bu/CFA) used, combined with marrow grafts. In all three cases, the second transplant was of haplo-identical peripheral blood stem cells using Melphalan/Fludarabine (Mel/Flu) conditioning, the cells engrafted properly and the patients experienced complete chimerism, and two of them are alive with an excellent quality of life.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains among the major causes of treatment failure in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). The use of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) is now a well-established and widely used method for GVHD prophylaxis after HLA haploidentical HCT. However, the rationale for using PT-Cy in the setting of matched donor transplantation is less apparent, given the lesser degree of bidirectional alloreactivity. In this retrospective study, we investigated the role of PT-Cy as GVHD prophylaxis in patients with multiple myeloma underoing allo-HCT, among different donor types, to determine cumulative incidence of acute and chronic GVHD and impact on engraftment, progression-free survival (PFS), GVHD-free/relapse- free survival (GRFS), overall survival (OS), and NRM A total of 295 patients with MM underwent allo-HCT using grafts from a matched related donor (MRD; n = 67), matched unrelated donor (MUD; n = 72), mismatched related or unrelated donor (MMRD/MMUD, 1 antigen; n = 27), or haploidentical donor (haplo; n = 129) using PT-Cy between 2012 and 2018. In addition to PT-Cy, agents used in GVHD prophylaxis included calcineurin inhibitors in 239 patients (81%), with mycophenolate mofetil in 184 of those 239 (77%). For grade II-IV acute GVHD, the cumulative incidence at day +100 was 30% (95% confidence interval [CI], 25% to 36%), 9% (95% CI, 5% to 12%) for grade III-IV acute GVHD, and 27% (95% CI, 21% to 32%) for chronic GVHD (limited, 21%; extensive, 6%), with no differences by donor type. The median time to neutrophil engraftment was 19d (95% CI, 18-19), with no significant difference by donor type. The median time to platelet engraftment was delayed in haploidentical donor graft recipients (27 days versus 21 days; P < .001). Two-year OS, PFS, GRFS, and NRM were 51% (95% CI, 45% to 58%), 26% (95% CI, 20% to 32%), 24% (95% CI, 18% to 30%), and 19% (95% CI, 14% to 24%), respectively, with no significant difference between different donor types. In multivariable analyses, compared with the haplo donors, the use of MRDs was associated with significantly better OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.6; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.95; P = .029), and the use of MUDs was associated with a significantly higher GRFS (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.97; P = .034). There was a trend toward improved PFS with use of MUDs (HR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.46 to 1.04; P = .08). Our data show that PT-Cy in MM patients undergoing allo-HCT resulted in low rates of acute and chronic GVHD and led to favorable survival, especially in the matched related donor setting. © 2021 American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

Abstract
After more than 60 years of research in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), this therapy has advanced from one that was declared dead in the 1960s to a standard treatment of otherwise fatal malignant and non-malignant blood diseases. To date, close to 1.5 million hematopoietic cell transplants have been performed in more than 1,500 transplantation centers worldwide. This review will highlight the enormous efforts by numerous investigators throughout the world who have brought the experimental field of HCT to clinical reality, examine ongoing challenges, and provide insights for the future.

Abstract
There are a limited number of studies comparing outcomes of busulfan (BU)-based myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using unmanipulated haploidentical donors (HIDs), HLA-matched unrelated donors (MUDs), and HLA-matched sibling related donors (MSDs) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with complete remission (CR) status. With this background, we compared outcomes among 377 cases of CR following consecutive HID-HSCT for AML (CR) to 86 MUD and 92 MSD-HSCT cases. All patients received BU-based myeloablative conditioning and an unmanipulated graft within the same period. The median patient age was 23 years (range 1.1 to 65 years), and 230 patients (41.4%) were under age18. Among the 555 patients, 432 (77.8%) were of intermediate cytogenetic risk and 123 (22.2%) were of adverse risk. A total of 113 patients (20.5%) had FLT3-ITD+ AML, 425 patients (76.6%) were in first complete remission (CR1) post-transplant, and 130 (23.4%) patients were in second CR (CR2). GVHD prophylaxis included mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), cyclosporine-A (CSA) with short-term methotrexate (MTX) for HID, and MUD-HSCT. MMF is not used for MSD-HSCT. The median survival follow-up time was 42 months (range 18-91 months). The 3-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) among the HID, MUD, and MSD cohorts was 73.8% ± 4.8%, 66.4% ± 8.5%, 74.5% ± 2.4%, respectively (P = 0.637). Three-year overall survival (OS) was 74.9% ± 2.4%, 81.8% ± 4.3%, and 77.5% ± 4.5% among the HID, MUD, and MSD cohorts, respectively (P = 0.322). There were no difference among the relapse rate among the HID, MUD, and MSD donor cohorts (14.3% ± 4.0% vs 20.3% ± 6.4% vs 14.5% ± 2.2, respectively; P = 0.851) or the non-relapse mortality (NRM) (12.3% ± 3.5% vs 9.5% ± 3.2% vs 14.0% ± 1.8%, respectively; P = 0.441). Multivariate analyses showed that MRD-positive pre-HSCT was the only risk factor associated with a lower OS and LFS and higher risk of relapse among all 555 patients. Compared with the use of a MUD or MSD, an HID for HSCT had similar outcomes among AML patients with CR states who underwent an allo-HSCT with BU-based myeloablative conditioning. MFC-MRD-positive pre-HSCT was an independent negative factor impact on outcomes for AML patients in CR. We conclude that for AML patients who do not have a MSD or if an urgent transplant is required, HSCT from an HID is a valid option.

Abstract
Graft failure (GF) is a life-threatening complication after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Although salvage SCTs can be performed with haploidentical donor (HID) or cord blood (CB), no study has compared the performances of these two sources. Using nationwide registration data, we compared the transplant outcomes of patients who developed GF and underwent salvage transplantation from HID (n = 129) and CB (n = 570) from 2007 to 2016. The HID group demonstrated better neutrophil recovery (79.7 vs. 52.5% at 30 days, P < 0.001). With a median follow-up of 3 years, both groups demonstrated similar overall survival (OS) and nonrelapse mortality (NRM; 1-year OS, 33.1 vs. 34.6% and 1-year NRM, 45.1 vs. 49.8% for the HID and CB groups). After adjustments for other covariates, OS did not differ in both groups. However, HID was associated with a lower NRM (hazard ratio, 0.71; P = 0.038) than CB. The incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-related deaths was significantly higher in the HID group, although infection-related deaths were observed more frequently in the CB group. HID may be a promising salvage SCT option after GF due to its faster engraftment and low NRM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to study the efficacy of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allo-HSCT combined with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in AML. METHODS One hundred forty-seven patients were included. All patients underwent unmanipulated peripheral blood stem cell RIC allo-HSCT. Median follow-up was 12.8 months (range 0.5-39). RESULTS Median age was 58 years. Twenty-nine (20%) recipients received 10/10 MRD grafts, 69 (47%) 10/10 MUD grafts, 20 (13.6%) 9/10 MMUD, and 29 (20%) haploidentical grafts. The cumulative incidence of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD at day +100, and moderate/severe chronic GVHD at 1-year were as follow: 14.3%, 1.4%, and 8.3%. There were no significant differences according to donor type (P = .46) and cumulative incidence of GVHD. One-year overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), non-relapse mortality, and GVHD-free/Relapse-free survival were as follows: 66.9% (95% CI 58.4-74), 59.9%, and 18.7% and 53.7%. KPS ≤ 80 was predictive of worst OS (P = .04). Those recipients who received MUD transplants had better RFS (P = .01). CONCLUSIONS RIC allo-HSCT combined with ATG and PTCy is safe and a potentially curative strategy and it is associated with impressive GRFS in AML.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the standard treatment for patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. Only approximately 25% of siblings are HLA-matched, and thus alternative donors-unrelated or haploidentical-are usually the only options available. This meta-analysis aimed to compare haploidentical HSCT with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide and unrelated donor (URD) HSCT. We searched the PubMed and Cochrane databases for pertinent studies indexed between 2008 and 2018. Twenty observational studies (with a total of 1783 haploidentical HSCT recipients and 6077 URD HSCT recipients) were included. Results for overall survival, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), nonrelapse mortality (NRM), and relapse incidence were pooled. Measures of association used were hazard ratios and risk differences. The median age was 51 years for haploidentical transplant recipients and 52 years for URD transplant recipients. Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts were more frequent in the URD transplant recipients (85%) than in the haploidentical transplant recipients (31%). Overall survival was not different between the 2 groups. NRM was lower for haploidentical transplantation. All forms of GVHD (acute grades II-IV and III-IV and moderate, severe, and extensive chronic) were lower with haploidentical donor HSCT. The risk of chronic GVHD was fairly proportional to the differential use of PBSC grafts across studies, however. All included studies were retrospective, representing the major limitation of this meta-analysis. In conclusion, haploidentical HSCT for hematologic malignancies achieved the same overall survival as URD HSCT, with a lower incidence of GVHD and NRM. The increased frequency of PBSC use in the unrelated donor group could partially explain the higher cGVHD rate. Haploidentical transplantation with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide should strongly be considered as the first option for adult patients with hematologic malignancies who do not have matched sibling donors in experienced centers. This systematic review has been registered at PROSPERO (65790).

Abstract
Post-transplant cyclophosphamide has become a promising medical option after allogeneic HSCT. In this study we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine combination in acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases scheduled for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Retrospective analysis of data from 40 cases who underwent allogeneic HSCT under GvHD prophylaxis with cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine combination between April 2016 and August 2017 was made. Cyclophosphamide was given at daily doses of 50 mg/kg on post-transplant 3rd and 4th days, and cyclosporine was applied at daily doses of 3 mg/kg/day starting from the 5th post-transplant day. Cyclosporine dose was tapered beginning from the 45th postoperative day and completely discontinued on the 90th post-transplant day. Mean age was 38.25 ± 15.25 years. Posttransplant median follow-up was six months (6–17 months). Post-transplant, the number of deaths and mortality rates related and unrelated to transplantation were 5 (12.5%), and 2 (5%), respectively. Acute GvHD was diagnosed in 7 cases (17.5%), and relapse was noted in 9 cases (22.5%). Myeloablative or reduced intensity conditioning was performed in 22 (55%) and 18 (45%) patients, respectively. The distribution of the donors was as follows: match-related (n = 26; 65%), match-unrelated (n = 9, 22.5%) and haploidentical donors (n = 5; 12.5%). There was no statistically significant correlation between the transplant-related and unrelated mortality and parameters under investigation.Cyclophosphamide use appears to be a highly effective and promising strategy for acute GvHD prophylaxis in non-haploidentical allogeneic HSCT cases. Identification of the impact of cyclophosphamide use on the development of chronic GvHD needs further investigation.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a disease that affects adults aged 65 years and above, and survival in this population is poor. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a potentially curative therapy for these patients but is underutilized due to frequent comorbidities and perceived higher risk of treatment-related mortality and non-relapse mortality. Increasing data supports the utility of allo-HCT in fit older patients after intensive chemotherapy resulting in improvement of outcomes. With the development of reduced intensity and non-myeloablative conditioning regimens that are associated with lower rates of treatment-related toxicity and mortality, this has allowed more older patients with AML to receive allo-HCT. In this review, we provide some guidance on appropriate selection of older patients as transplant candidates, benefits and risks associated with allo-HCT, conditioning regimen choice, and stem cell transplant sources as they relate to the conduct of stem cell transplantation in older patients.

Impact on early outcomes and immune reconstitution of high-dose post-transplant cyclophosphamide vs anti-thymocyte globulin after reduced intensity conditioning peripheral blood stem cell allogeneic transplantation. Oncotarget 2018; 9:11451-11464. [PMID: 29545911 PMCID: PMC5837739 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.24328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2017] [Accepted: 11/01/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
We have compared prospectively the outcome and immune reconstitution of patients receiving either post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) (n = 30) or anti-thymocyte globulin ATG (n = 15) as Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation (allo-SCT). The outcome and immune reconstitution of patients receiving either of these two regimens were compared prospectively. This study allowed also to investigate the impact of PTCY between haplo-identical vs matched donors and of clofarabine as part of the RIC regimen. The γ/δ T-cells, α/β T-cells (CD8+ and CD4+), NK T-cells, NK cells, B-cells, Tregs and monocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry from a total of 583 samples. In the PTCY group significant delayed platelets recovery, higher CD3+ donor chimerism, higher HHV-6 and lower EBV reactivations were observed. Early survival advantage for CD4+ T-cells, Tregs and α/β T-cells was documented in the PTCY group while it was the case for α/β T-cells, NK cells and monocytes in the ATG group. Higher counts of NK and monocytes were observed at days +30 and/or day+60 in the ATG group. Both results were retained even in the case of mismatched donors. However, higher percentages of CD4+ T-cells, α/β T-cells and Tregs were observed with haplo-identical donors in the PTCY group. Finally, clofarabine was responsible for early survival advantage of NK T-cells in the PTCY group while it abrogated the early survival advantage of γ/δ T-cells in the ATG group. In conclusion, there are marked differences in the immunological effects of ATG vs PTCY as GVHD prophylaxis for RIC PBSC allo-SCT.

Abstract
The role of donor CMV serostatus in the setting of non T-cell depleted haplo-HSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) has not been specifically addressed so far. Here we analyzed the impact of the donor CMV serological status on the outcome of 983 CMV seropositive (CMV+), acute leukemia patients receiving a first, non T-cell depleted haplo-HSCT registered in the EBMT database. The 1-year NRM was 21.3% (95% CI: 18.4-24.8) and 18.8% (95% CI: 13.8-25.5) in the CMV D+/R+ and D-/R+ pairs, respectively (p = 0.40). Similarly, 1-year OS was 55.1% (95% CI: 50.1-58.0) and 55.7% (95% CI: 48.0-62.8) in the same groups (p = 0.50). The other main outcomes were comparable. No difference in NRM nor OS was observed after stratification for the intensity of conditioning and multivariate anaysis confirmed the lack of significant association with NRM or OS. In conclusion, the choice of a CMV-seronegative donor did not impair early survival of CMV-seropositive patients with acute leukemia after a first, non T-cell depleted haploidentical HSCT and PT-Cy among this series of 983 consecutive patients. Future research may focus on the assessment of the hierarchy of all the donor variables.

Abstract
Allogeneic blood or marrow hematopoietic cell transplantation continues to be the most potent anti-leukemic treatment for adult patients with standard, high-risk, or chemo-refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Until recently, this procedure was generally limited to those recipients who had an available matched-sibling donor or matched-unrelated donor. Technical advances in graft cell processing and manipulation, control of bidirectional T cell alloreactivity, graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, and other supportive measures in haploidentical transplantation now enable nearly all patients with acute myeloid leukemia to benefit from the graft-versus-leukemia effect with substantial reduction in procedure-related mortality. Over recent years, haploidentical donors have been increasingly adopted as a valid donor source in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia in the absence of an HLA-matched donor. Among centers of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, the use of haploidentical related donor transplantation has increased by 250% since 2010, and 291% since 2005. On behalf of the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, we summarize recent utilization trends in haploidentical transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia and describe the transformative changes in haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation techniques over the past decade, which have led to the current widespread use of this procedure. Furthermore, we review the efficacy of haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia from available studies, including preliminary comparative studies, and bring attention to remaining unanswered questions and directions for future research. We conclude this report with our recommendations for the role of haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia.

Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplant with Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Grafts in Older Adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2017; 23:1736-1743. [PMID: 28688919 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2017.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2017] [Accepted: 06/26/2017] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Many hematologic malignancies are diseases of aging, and the use of hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is growing rapidly among older adults. Modern post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) protocols with haploidentical (haplo) donors have dramatically expanded the donor pool for patients requiring HCT. Initial studies were performed with bone marrow grafts, which require the donor to undergo anesthesia during harvest. However, the use of mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) may be desirable, especially with older donors. However, data on PBSC haplo-HCT in older adults are lacking. To characterize the impact of age on outcomes in haplo-HCT, we identified all adult patients undergoing haplo-HCT with PTCy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) at our institution from January 2009 to June 2016. Patients were grouped into 3 cohorts: Age 1 (≤55), Age 2 (55 to 65), and Age 3 (≥65). To characterize the impact of donor type on outcomes in older patients, we identified age- and disease risk index (DRI)-matched patient age ≥ 65 undergoing HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD) HCT for AML or MDS during the same time frame. Patients were scored for disease risk and underlying comorbidities using the DRI and HCT-specific comorbidity index. Overall survival (OS) was analyzed using 3 different Cox proportional hazards models. We identified 112 haplo-HCT patients, 95 with AML and 17 with MDS. There were 61 patients in Age 1, 29 patients in Age 2, and 22 in Age 3. Median OS was 448, 397, and 147 days in Age 1, Age 2, and Age 3 patients (log-rank, P = .04). After adjusting for other risk factors, age ≥ 65 was associated with significantly worse OS after haplo-HCT (aHR, 2.16; 95% CI, 1.15 to 4.07). There was a trend toward increased relapse among older patients at 2 years (56%; 95% CI, 32% to 79%) versus Age 1 (41%; 95% CI, 28% to 54%) and Age 2 (31%; 95% CI, 12% to 50%) (P = .08). Among patients age ≥ 65, donor type (MUD versus haplo) did not impact OS (aHR, 1.03; 95% CI, .56 to 1.88) after adjusting for other risk factors. Prior allo-HCT (aHR, 4.95; 95% CI, 1.82 to 13.49) and myeloablative conditioning (aHR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.04 to 3.73) were associated with inferior survival. Although age ≥ 65 was associated with inferior OS in our haplo-HCT cohort, no difference was seen in survival between MUD and haplo-HCT. Therefore, the use of haploidentical donors in older patients is a reasonable treatment option, especially if there is concern for clinical deterioration. A careful pretransplant evaluation and analysis of risks and benefits is warranted when offering this transplant modality to older adults, especially in patients with previous transplant or poor performance status. Strategies to reduce the risk of relapse and decrease nonrelapse mortality in older adults are areas of ongoing research, and prospective studies are needed.

Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2017; 23:1555-1566.

Abstract
To investigate the role of antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-containing reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from unrelated (UD) or haploidentical family donors (HFD), we conducted a phase 2 trial of 237 patients (age range, 16 to 69 years) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission. Patients undergoing UD-HCT (n = 93) or HFD-HCT (n = 59) received RIC comprising busulfan, fludarabine, and ATG, 9 mg/kg, whereas those undergoing HCT from matched sibling donors (MSD, n = 85) received myeloablative busulfan and cyclophosphamide conditioning or aforementioned RIC with ATG, 4.5 mg/kg. For graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, cyclosporine and methotrexate were administered. The median follow-up period was 44.7 months after HCT for 161 survivors. For UD-HCT versus HFD-HCT, there were no significant differences in leukemia recurrence, nonrelapse mortality, relapse-free survival, grades 2 to 4 acute GVHD, and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD. Furthermore, when the outcomes of UD-HCT and HFD-HCT were combined and compared with those of MSD-HCT, there were no significant differences in leukemia recurrence (3-year cumulative incidence, 30% versus 29%), nonrelapse mortality (3-year cumulative incidence, 7% versus 8%), relapse-free survival (3-year estimate, 63% versus 63%), and grades 2 to 4 acute GVHD (120-day cumulative incidence, 16% versus 13%). Moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD, however, occurred less frequently in UD/HFD-HCT (2-year cumulative incidence, 22% versus 40%; P = .006). The addition of ATG to conditioning regimen was a significant predictor for less chronic GVHD (subdistribution hazard ratio, .59). In AML in remission, UD/HFD-HCT after ATG-containing RIC achieved leukemia control equivalent to that of MSD-HCT. Despite HLA disparity in UD/HFD-HCT, chronic GVHD occurred less frequently after ATG-containing RIC, suggesting a strong GVHD-modulating effect of ATG.
