Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has become a treatment option for otherwise non-curative conditions, both malignant and benign, affecting children and adults. Nevertheless, the latest research has been focusing extensively on transplantation from related and unrelated haploidentical donors, suitable for patients requiring emergent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in the absence of an HLA-matched donor. Haploidentical HSCT (haplo-HSCT) can be an effective treatment for non-malignant pediatric disorders, such as primary immunodeficiencies or hemoglobinopathies, by enabling a much quicker selection of the appropriate donor for virtually all patients, low incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and transplant-related mortality (TRM). Moreover, the outcomes of haplo-HSCT among children with hematological malignancies have improved radically. The most demanding tasks for clinicians are minimizing T-cell-mediated alloreactivity as well as early GVHD prevention. As a result, several T-cell depletion approaches, such as ex vivo T-cell depletion (TCD), and T-cell replete approaches, such as a combination of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), cyclosporine/tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, or methotrexate, have been taken up. As more research is needed to establish the most beneficial form of therapy, haplo-HSCT is currently considered an alternative donor strategy for pediatric and adult patients with complications like viral and bacterial infections, invasive fungal disease, and GVHD.

Prophylactic versus Preemptive modified donor lymphocyte infusion for high-risk acute leukemia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a multicenter retrospective study. Bone Marrow Transplant 2024; 59:85-92. [PMID: 37907756 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-023-02137-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023]
Abstract
Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has been widely used in preventing post-transplant relapse. We conducted this study to compare the superiority of prophylactic modified DLI (pro-DLI) and preemptive modified DLI (pre-DLI) in patients with high-risk relapse features acute leukemia. Pro-DLI was performed in 95 patients, whereas the pre-DLI cohort included 176 patients. In the pre-DLI cohort, 42 patients relapsed without chance for pre-DLI while 95 patients remained CR without detectable minimal residual disease (MRD). Thirty-nine patients in the pre-DLI cohort became minimal MRD positive/mixed chimerism and received pre-DLI. Pro-DLI cohort had higher 3-year progression-free-survival (PFS) (63.4%vs.53.0%, P = 0.026) and overall survival (OS) (65.2% vs. 57.0%, P = 0.14) compared to the pre-DLI cohort. The 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was 25.3% in the pro-DLI cohort which was significantly lower than 36.7% in the pre-DLI cohort (P = 0.02). The cumulative incidence of grade III-IV aGVHD, cGVHD and non-relapse mortality were comparable between cohorts. Multivariable analysis demonstrated strong protective effect of pro-DLI on OS (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.63, P = 0.04), PFS (HR = 0.54, P = 0.005) and CIR (HR = 0.50, P = 0.005). In high-risk patients with acute leukemia, early scheduled pro-DLI rather than pre-DLI after detectable MRD would reduce post-transplant relapse and improve long-term survival.

Prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion after haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation and post-transplant cyclophosphamide for treatment of high-risk myeloid neoplasms in children: A retrospective study. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2023; 70:e30659. [PMID: 37669234 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.30659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has been recommended for prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) following haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) for treatment of malignant blood diseases, but disease relapse remains a problem. Although donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is reported to be effective for treating post-transplantation relapse, the efficacy and safety of prophylactic-DLI (pro-DLI) post haplo-HCT, and PTCy in pediatric patients with hematological malignancies is unknown. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 54 pediatric patients with high-risk myeloid neoplasms who received a PTCy regimen for GvHD prophylaxis and pro-DLI after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. The high-risk myeloid neoplasms in this cohort included acute myeloid leukemia (n = 46) and myelodysplastic syndromes (n = 8). RESULTS Median follow-up was for 19.7 (range: 3.4-46.6) months. The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GvHD were 37.0% (95% CI: 22.7%-48.7%) and 16.7% (95% CI: 6.1%-26.0%), respectively. There were no graft-failure events, and the 2-year rate of moderate/severe chronic GvHD was 8.1% (95% CI: 0%-16.7%). The 2-year non-relapse mortality, relapse, disease-free survival, GvHD-free relapse-free survival, and overall survival rates were 5.1% (95% CI: 0%-11.7%), 16.6% (95% CI: 5.3%-26.6%), 78.9% (95% CI: 68.0%-91.6%), 62.2% (95% CI: 49.4%-78.3%), and 87.3% (95% CI: 78.3%-97.4%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion in the setting of haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide appears to be effective and safe in pediatric patients with high-risk myeloid neoplasms.

Abstract
Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is an important treatment modality in the management of relapsed hematological malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Donor T lymphocytes can be used in a therapeutic, pre-emptive or prophylactic manner in an attempt to stimulate a graft versus leukemia (GVL) effect and eradicate residual disease or even prevent relapse in a high-risk setting. DLIs are not without complications, however, graft versus host disease (GVHD) in particular. Data to date is limited to retrospective and small prospective studies. This review summarizes the available literature on approaches to managing relapse, dosing and timing of DLI, complications and potential future therapies.

Abstract
Relapse remains the leading cause of death in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients following allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), limiting the efficacy of allo-HSCT. Thus, the ability to identify high-risk patients in a manner that permits early intervention has the potential to improve survival outcomes. We retrospectively enrolled 414 younger patients (aged 14-60 years) with AML who received allo-HSCT between January 2014 and May 2020. From June 2020 to June 2021, 110 consecutive patients were included prospectively in the validation cohort. The primary outcome was early relapse (relapse within 1 year). The cumulative incidence of early relapse after allo-HSCT was 11.8%. The overall survival rate for patients who relapsed within 1-year was 4.1% at 3 years after relapse. After multivariable adjustment, statistically significant associations between primary resistance, pre-transplantation measurable residual disease, DNMT3A mutation, or white blood cell count at diagnosis and early relapse were observed. An early relapse prediction model was developed based on these factors and the model performed well. Patients deemed to have a high risk or a low risk of early relapse had early relapse rates of 26.2% and 6.8%, respectively (P < 0.001). The prediction model could be used to help identify patients at risk for early relapse and to guide personalized relapse prevention.

Abstract
Disease relapse represents by far the most frequent cause of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) failure. Patients with acute leukemia suffering relapse after HCT have limited conventional treatment options with little possibility of cure and represent, de facto, suitable candidates for the evaluation of novel cellular and biological-based therapies. Donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) has been one of the first cellular therapies adopted to treat post HCT relapse of acute leukemia patients and still now, it is widely adopted in preemptive and prophylactic settings, with renewed interest for manipulated cellular products such as NK-DLI. The acquisition of novel biological insights into pathobiology of leukemia relapse are translating into the clinic, with novel combinations of target therapies and novel agents, helping delineate new therapeutical landscapes. Hypomethylating agents alone or in combination with novel drugs demonstrated their efficacy in pre-clinical models and controlled trials. FLT3 inhibitors represent an essential therapeutical instrument incorporated in post-transplant maintenance strategies. The Holy grail of allogeneic transplantation lies in the separation of graft-vs.-host disease from graft vs. tumor effects and after more than five decades, is still the most ambitious goal to reach and many ways to accomplish are on their way.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an effective therapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Although allo-HSCT can be curative for some B-ALL patients, relapse still occurs in some patients following allo-HSCT. Conventional chemotherapies show poor efficacy in B-ALL patients who have relapsed following allo-HSCT. In the past decade, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has shown to be efficacious for B-ALL patients. In particular, autologous CD19 CAR-T therapy results in a high remission rate. However, there are challenges in the use of CD19 CAR-T therapy for B-ALL patients who have relapsed following allo-HSCT, including the selection of CAR-T cell source for manufacturing, post-CAR-T graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) risk, maintenance of long-term efficacy after remission through CAR-T therapy, and whether a consolidative second transplant is needed. In this review, we describe the current status of CAR-T therapy for B-ALL patients who have relapsed following allo-HSCT, the advantages and disadvantages of various CAR-T cell sources, the characteristics and management of GVHD following CAR-T therapy, and the risk factors that may affect long-term efficacy.

Abstract
ABO incompatibility is common in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT); however, the impact of donor-recipient ABO compatibility on transplantation outcomes in different HSCT settings is controversial. Moreover, haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) with peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC)-derived grafts has not been well investigated. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of ABO incompatibility on post-transplantation outcomes, engraftment kinetics, blood product requirements, transfusion independence, and the incidence of poor graft function (PGF) in antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based haplo-SCT with PBSC grafts during long-term follow-up. We prospectively evaluated 510 patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent haplo-SCT after myeloablative conditioning (MAC). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and secondary endpoints were nonrelapse mortality (NRM), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), relapse, neutrophil and platelet engraftment, blood transfusion requirements, transfusion independence, and the incidence of PGF. There was no significant association between ABO matching and OS, disease-free survival (DFS), relapse, NRM, grade II-IV acute GVHD, grade III-IV acute GVHD, and moderate and severe chronic GVHD. There were also no significant differences in neutrophil and platelet engraftment, blood transfusion independence, and transfusion requirements at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 365 days post-transplantation among patients with ABO matching and those with minor, major, or bidirectional ABO incompatibility. Donor-recipient ABO matching did not differ significantly according to graft function (good versus poor). ABO incompatibility status has no major impact on patient outcomes in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing ATG-based MAC haplo-SCT with PBSC-derived grafts.

[PMID: 35155192 PMCID: PMC8829143 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.790299] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is a key strategy for the treatment of AML relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) and has been used for either prophylactic, pre-emptive, or therapeutic purposes. However, the prognosis of these patients remains dismal even after DLI infusion (2-year overall survival, ~25%), and the efficacy is achieved at the cost of toxicities such as graft-versus-host (GVH) disease. Attempts to optimize DLI efficacy and safety, such as dose/timing modification and the use of cytoreduction, before DLI have been performed previously. Recently, a great number of novel targeted and immunomodulatory agents have emerged. Some of them, such as hypomethylating agents, FLT3 and Bcl-2 inhibitors, have been used in combination with DLI, aiming to enhance the graft-versus-leukemia effect. Moreover, manipulation of the DLI graft through cell selection (e.g., donor NK cells) or cell engineering (donor CAR-T cells) has shown potentially superior anti-tumor effects but less GVH effect than conventional DLI in clinical trials. This review summarizes the recent advances on the use of DLI for the prophylaxis/treatment of AML relapse and discusses future strategies which may further improve the treatment efficacy.

Comparison of non-first-degree related donors and first-degree related donors in haploidentical HSCT: a multi-centre retrospective analysis. Bone Marrow Transplant 2021; 56:2567-2574. [PMID: 34031554 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-021-01352-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The transplant outcomes of non-first-degree (NFD) related donors in haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) remain unclear. This multi-centre analysis compared NFD and first-degree (FD) related donors in haplo-HSCT using a low-dose anti-T-lymphocyte globulin/G-CSF-mobilised peripheral blood stem cell graft-based regimen. Ninety-nine patients (33 NFD; 66 FD) were included. All patients achieved myeloid and platelet engraftment. The 100-day cumulative incidence (CI) of aGVHD, 2-year CIs of relapse, cGVHD, and NRM, and 2-year probabilities of OS and GRFS were comparable between the two cohorts. In multivariate analysis, donor type (NFD vs. FD) had no impact on OS, PFS, GRFS, incidences of relapse, grade II-IV aGVHD or moderate-severe cGVHD. Older donor age was associated with a higher incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD (HR, 1.64, p = 0.03), moderate-severe cGVHD (HR, 1.92, p = 0.01) and worse GRFS (HR, 1.40, p = 0.02). A lower level of donor-recipient HLA matching was associated with a higher incidence of moderate-severe cGVHD (HR, 4.07, p = 0.02), and disease at complete remission was associated with better OS (HR, 0.21, p = 0.01) and PFS (HR, 0.3, p = 0.03). In conclusion, NFD donors may serve as feasible alternatives when FD donors are not available for haplo-HSCT.
