Second Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Relapsed Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Outcomes and Prognostic Factors. Transplant Cell Ther 2024; 30:905.e1-905.e14. [PMID: 38914227 PMCID: PMC11344659 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2024.06.019] [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: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
Second allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT2) is potentially curative for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS)/AML experiencing relapse after a first allograft (HCT1), but prognostic factors for outcomes are poorly characterized. To provide a detailed analysis of HCT2 outcomes and associated prognostic factors in a large single-center cohort, with a focus on identifying predictors of relapse and nonrelapse mortality (NRM), we studied adults ≥18 years who underwent HCT2 at a single institution between April 2006 and June 2022 for relapsed AML (n = 73) or MDS/AML (n = 8). With a median follow-up among survivors of 74.0 (range: 10.4 to 187.3) months, there were 30 relapses and 57 deaths, of which 29 were NRM events, contributing to the estimates for relapse, overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), and NRM. Three-year estimates for relapse, RFS, and OS were 37% (95% confidence interval: 27% to 48%), 32% (23% to 44%), and 35% (26% to 47%). The rate of NRM at 100 days and 18 months was 20% (12% to 29%) and 28% (19% to 39%). Outcomes differed markedly across patient subsets and were substantially worse for patients who underwent HCT2 with active disease (ie, morphologic evidence of bone marrow and/or extramedullary disease), for patients who relapsed ≤6 months after HCT1, and for patients with higher HCT-specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) or treatment-related mortality (TRM) scores. After multivariable adjustment, active disease was associated with a higher risk of relapse (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.19, P = .006) and shorter RFS (HR = 2.41, P = .008) as well as OS (HR = 2.17, P = .027) compared to transplant in morphologic remission without multiparameter flow cytometric evidence of measurable residual disease. Similarly, a relapse-free interval ≤6 months after the first allograft was associated with higher risk of relapse (HR = 5.86, P < .001) and shorter RFS (HR = 2.86; P = .001) and OS (HR = 2.45, P = .003). Additionally, a high HCT-CI score was associated with increased NRM (HR = 4.30, P = .035), and shorter RFS (HR = 3.87, P = .003) and OS (HR = 3.74, P = .006). Likewise, higher TRM scores were associated with increased risk of relapse (HR = 2.27; P = .024) and NRM (HR = 2.01, P = .001), and inferior RFS (HR = 1.90 P = .001) and OS (HR = 1.88, P = .001). A significant subset of patients with AML or MDS/AML relapse after HCT1 are alive and leukemia-free 3 years after undergoing HCT2. Our study identifies active leukemia at the time of HCT2 and early relapse after HCT1 as major adverse prognostic factors, highlighting patient subsets in particular need of novel therapeutic approaches, and supports the use of the HCT-CI and TRM scores for outcome prognostication.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a widely used treatment for malignant hematological diseases; however, some patients inevitably experience relapse. Therefore, for patients who relapse after the first HSCT (HSCT1), a standard treatment regimen must be developed. A second hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT2) is a possible treatment option. Several studies have analyzed the feasibility of HSCT2. Previous studies have shown that various factors may affect the efficacy of HSCT2, including the hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index, duration of remission after HSCT1, occurrence of chronic graft-versus-host disease, and disease status before HSCT2. However, the selection of donors for HSCT2 does not affect the transplantation efficacy. HSCT2 also presents a risk of relapse, and the prognosis of patients after relapse is poor. Further research on the treatment of patients after relapse is warranted.

Abstract
Relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains a major concern because it is associated with poor survival. A second allo-HCT is a valid option in this situation. During the 13th annual harmonization workshops of the francophone Society of bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy (SFGM-TC), a designated working group reviewed the literature in order to update the second allo-HCT recommendations elaborated during the previous workshop (2016). The main indication for a second allo-HCT remains relapse of initial hematologic malignancy. Disease status; complete remission (CR), and relapse time after the first allo-HCT>6 months impact positively the overall survival of patients after the second allo-HCT. Donor change is a valid option, particularly if there is HLA loss on leukemic cells after a first haploidentical or following a mismatched allo-HCT is documented. Reduced intensity conditioning is recommended, while a sequential protocol is a reasonable option in patients with proliferative disease. A post-transplant maintenance strategy after hematological recovery is recommended as soon as day 60, even if the immunosuppressive treatment has not yet been stopped. Hypomethylating agents, and targeted therapies such as anti FLT3, anti BCL2, anti-IDH1/2, TKI, anti-TP53, anti-CD33, anti-CD19, anti-CD22, anti-CD30, check point inhibitors, and CAR-T cells can be used as a bridge to transplant or as an alternative treatment to the second allo-HCT.

Abstract
Background Patients with leukemia relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) have poor survival due to toxicity and disease progression. A second HCT often offers the only curative treatment. Methods We retrospectively reviewed our bi-institutional experience (MSKCC-USA; Utrecht-NL) with unrelated cord blood transplantation (CBT) for treatment of post-transplant relapse. Overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method, treatment-related mortality (TRM) and relapse were evaluated using the competing risk method by Fine-Gray. Results Twenty-six patients age < 21 years received a second (n=24) or third (n=2) HCT with CB grafts during the period 2009-2021. Median age at first HCT (HCT1) was 11.5 (range: 0.9-17.7) years and all patients received myeloablative cytoreduction. Median time from HCT1 to relapse was 12.8 (range 5.5-189) months. At CBT, median patient age was 13.5 (range 1.4-19.1) years. Diagnoses were AML: 13; ALL: 4, MDS: 5, JMML: 2; CML: 1; mixed phenotype acute leukemia: 1. Sixteen patients (62%) were in advanced stage, either CR>2 or with active disease. Median time from HCT1 to CBT was 22.2 (range 7-63.2) months. All patients engrafted after CBT. Thirteen patients developed acute GvHD; 7 had grade III or IV. With a median survivor follow-up of 46.6 (range 17.4-155) months, 3-year OS was 69.2% (95% CI 53.6-89.5%) and 3-year EFS was 64.9% (95% CI 48.8-86.4%). Eight patients died, 3 of AML relapse and 5 due to toxicity (respiratory failure [n=4], GvHD [n=1]) at a median time of 7.7 (range 5.9-14.4) months after CBT. Cumulative incidence of TRM at 3 years was 19.2% (95% CI 4.1-34.4%). Notably, all TRM events occurred in patients transplanted up to 2015; no toxicity-related deaths were seen in the 16 patients who received CBT after 2015. Cumulative incidence of relapse was 15.9% (95% CI 1.6-30.2%) at 3 years, remarkably low for these very high-risk patients. Conclusions Survival was very encouraging following CB transplants in pediatric patients with recurrent leukemia after first HCT, and TRM has been low over the last decade. CBT needs to be strongly considered as a relatively safe salvage therapy option for post-transplant relapse.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of a second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) in patients with hematological malignancies who had relapsed after the first allo-HSCT. Methods: Between April 2018 and June 2021, 44 patients with hematological malignancies (B-ALL 23, T-ALL/T-LBL 4, AML15, and MDS 2) were enrolled and retrospectively examined. Unrelated donors (n=12) or haploidentical donors (n=32) were used. Donors were replaced in all patients for the second allo-HSCT. Hematological and immunological germline predisposition genes and hematopoietic and immune function tests were used to select the best-related donor. Total body irradiation (TBI) /fludarabine (FLU) -based (n=38), busulfan (BU) /FLU-based (n=4), total marrow irradiation (TMI) /FLU-based (n=1), and BU/cladribine-based (n=1) were the RIC regimens used. For graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, short-term methotrexate, and ATG were used. Eighteen (40.9%) of 44 patients with gene variations for which targeted medications are available underwent post-transplant maintenance therapy. Results: The median age was 25 years old (range: 7-55). The median interval between the first and second HSCT was 19.5 months (range: 6-77). Before the second allo-HSCT, 33 (75%) of the patients were in complete remission (CR), whereas 11 (25%) were not. All patients had long-term engraftment. The grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ GVHD and severe acute GVHD rates were 20.5% and 9.1%, respectively. Chronic GVHD was found in 20.5% of limited patterns and 22.7% of severe patterns. CMV and EBV reactivation rates were 29.5% and 6.8%, respectively. Hemorrhage cystitis occurred in 15.9% of cases, grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ. The 1-yr disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and cumulative recurrence incidence (RI) rates of all patients were 72.5% (95% CI, 54.5%-84.3%), 80.6% (95% CI, 63.4%-90.3%), and 25.1% (95% CI, 13.7%-43.2%), respectively, with a median follow-up of 14 (2-39) months. There were eight deaths (seven relapses and one infection). The rate of non-relapse mortality (NRM) was only 2.3%. The CR patients' 1-yr RI rate was significantly lower than the NR patients (16.8% vs 48.1%, P=0.026). The DFS rate in CR patients was greater than in NR patients, although there was no statistical difference (79.9% vs 51.9%, P=0.072). Univariate analysis revealed that CR before the second allo-HSCT was an important prognostic factor. Conclusion: With our RIC regimens, donor change, and post-transplant maintenance therapy, the second allo-HSCT in relapsed hematological malignancies after the first allo-HSCT is a safe and effective treatment with high OS and DFS and low NRM and relapse rate. The most important factor influencing the prognosis of the second allo-HSCT is the patient's illness condition before the transplant.

Abstract
There are limited data on second stem cell transplantation (SCT2) outcomes with alternative donors for relapsed AML after the first stem cell transplantation (SCT1). We analyzed the outcomes of 52 adult AML patients who received SCT2 from haploidentical donors (HIT, N = 32) and double-cord blood (dCBT, N = 20) between 2008 and 2021. The HIT group received T-cell-replete peripheral blood stem cells after reduced-toxicity conditioning with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), while the dCBT group received myeloablative conditioning. For a median follow-up of 64.9 months, the HIT group, compared to the dCBT group, had earlier engraftment, superior 2-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and non-relapse mortality (NRM) with similar relapse. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that HIT was significantly associated with better OS, DFS, and lower NRM than dCBT. Both longer remission duration after SCT1 and complete remission at SCT2 were significantly associated with a lower relapse rate. In addition, bone marrow WT1 measurable residual disease (MRD) positivity was significantly associated with inferior OS and higher relapse. This study suggests that T-cell-replete HIT with ATG-based GVHD prophylaxis may be preferred over dCBT as SCT2 for relapsed AML and that WT1-MRD negativity may be warranted for better SCT2 outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction We aimed to evaluate prognostic factors of a second allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT2) among hematological malignancy patients who have relapsed after the first allo-HSCT(allo-HSCT1). Methods We retrospectively analyzed 199 hematological malignancy patients who received allo-HSCT2 as a salvage treatment post allo-HSCT1 relapse between November 2012 and October 2021. Results The median age at allo-HSCT2 was 23 (range: 3-60) years. The median time to relapse after HSCT1 was 9 (range: 1-72) months. Prior to allo-HSCT2, patients had the following hematopoietic cell transplantation-comorbidity indexes (HCT-CI): 127 with a score of 0, 52 with a score of 1, and 20 with a score of 2 or greater. Fifty percent of patients received chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy following HSCT1 relapse. Disease status was minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative complete remission (CR) among 119 patients, MRD-positive CR among 37 patients and non-remission (NR) for 43 patients prior to allo-HSCT2. Allo-HSCT2 was performed from a new donor in 194 patients (97.4%) and 134 patients (67.3%) received a graft with a new mismatched haplotype. The median follow-up time was 24 months (range: 6-98 months), and the 2-year OS and LFS were 43.8% ± 4.0% and 42.1% ± 4.1%, respectively. The 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 30.0%±4.8% and 38.5%±3.8%, respectively. Cox regression multivariate analysis showed that disease statusof MRD-negative CR, HCT-CI score of 0 prior to allo-HSCT2, and new mismatched haplotype donor were predictive factors of improved OS and LFS compared to patients without these characteristics. Based on these three favorable factors, we developed a predictive scoring system for patients who received allo-HSCT2. Patients with a prognostic score of 3 who had the three factors showed a superior 2-year OS of 63.3% ± 6.7% and LFS of 63.3% ± 6.7% and a lower CIR of 5.5% ± 3.1% than patients with a prognostic score of 0. Allo-HSCT2 is feasible and patients with good prognostic features prior to allo-HSCT2 -disease status of CR/MRD- and HCT-CI score of 0 as well as a second donor with a new mismatched haplotype could have the maximal benefit from the second allo-HSCT. Conclusions Allo-HSCT2 is feasible and patients with good prognostic features prior to allo-HSCT2 -disease status of CR/MRD- and HCT-CI score of 0 as well as a second donor with a new mismatched haplotype could have the maximal benefit from the second allo-HSCT.

Abstract
Therapeutic options for patients with AML relapsing after allogeneic HCT range from chemotherapy or hypomethylating agents with or without donor lymphocyte infusions to a 2nd allogeneic HCT. Available data are based on retrospective single center or registry studies. The aim of this multicenter trial was to investigate prospectively intensive conditioning with Thiotepa, Fludarabine and Treosulfan (TFT) for 2nd allogeneic HCT from an alternative unrelated donor in patients with AML relapse > 6 months after a 1st allogeneic HCT. Primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS) at one year after 2nd HCT. 50 patients median age 53.5 years, in CR/PR (34%) or active relapse (66%) were included. 33 of 38 patients (86.8%) with available data achieved CR 100 days post transplant. 23 patients were alive and free of relapse at primary endpoint one year after 2nd HCT (DFS rate 0.46, 95%-CI (0.32-0.61). Three-year rates of DFS, relapse, non-relapse mortality, and overall survival were 0.24, 95%-CI (0.13-0.36); 0.36 (0.25-0.52); 0.40 (0.29-0.57); and 0.24 (0.13-0.37). Second HCT with TFT conditioning is feasible and has high anti-leukemic efficacy in chemosensitive or refractory AML relapse after prior allogeneic HCT. Still, relapse rates and NRM after 2nd allogeneic HCT remain a challenge. The trial is registered in the German Clinical Trials Registry (number DRKS00005126).

Abstract
Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening hematological disorder. The major therapies include matched sibling donor (MSD)- hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), matched unrelated donor (MUD)-HSCT and immunosuppressive therapy (IST). However, there are many problems that can occur after HSCT, and graft failure (GF) is one of the most serious complications. To find an effective treatment, we analyzed 10 cases of second HSCT to treat SAA pediatric patients who suffered from GF and concluded that second haploidentical family donors HSCT is an effective treatment. Moreover, adding a small dose of busulfan or 2 ~ 3 Gy total body irradiation (TBI) in nonmyeloablative regimens (NMAs) can promote the engraftment. Although the study also showed that PBSCs, as a source of stem cells, can promote the implantation of neutrophil cells, due to small sample size, more research is still needed.

Abstract
We have used a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for the past twenty years. During that period, changes in clinical practice have been aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality from infections, organ toxicity, and graft-versus-host disease. We hypothesized that improvements in clinical practice led to better transplantation outcomes over time. From 1997-2017, 1,720 patients with hematologic malignancies received low-dose total body irradiation +/- fludarabine or clofarabine before transplantation from HLA-matched sibling or unrelated donors, followed by mycophenolate mofetil and a calcineurin inhibitor ± sirolimus. We compared outcomes in three cohorts by year of transplantation: 1997 +/- 2003 (n=562), 2004 +/- 2009 (n=594), and 2010 +/- 2017 (n=564). The proportion of patients ≥60 years old increased from 27% in 1997 +/- 2003 to 56% in 2010-2017, and with scores from the Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comborbidity Index of ≥3 increased from 25% in 1997 +/- 2003 to 45% in 2010 +/- 2017. Use of unrelated donors increased from 34% in 1997 +/- 2003 to 65% in 2010-2017. When outcomes from 2004 +/- 2009 and 2010-2017 were compared to 1997 +/- 2003, improvements were noted in overall survival (P=.0001 for 2004-2009 and P <.0001 for 2010-2017), profression-free survival (P=.002 for 2004-2009 and P <.0001 for 2010 +/- 2017), non-relapse mortality (P<.0001 for 2004 +/- 2009 and P <.0001 for 2010 +/- 2017), and in rates of grades 2 +/- 4 acute and chronic graft-vs.-host disease. For patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent transplantation with non-myeloablative conditioning, outcomes have improved during the past two decades.

Abstract
Although the use of treosulfan (TREO) in conventional donor hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been extensively evaluated, its use in cord blood transplantation (CBT) for hematologic malignancies has not been reported. Between March 2009 and October 2019, 130 CBT recipients were enrolled in this prospective multicenter phase 2 study. The conditioning regimen consisted of TREO, fludarabine, and a single fraction of 2 Gy total-body irradiation. Cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil were used for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. The primary end point was incidence of graft failure (GF), and based on risk of GF, patients were classified as low risk (arm 1, n = 66) and high risk (arm 2, n = 64). The median age was 45 years (range, 0.6-65 years). Disease status included acute leukemias in first complete remission (CR; n = 56), in ≥2 CRs (n = 46), and myelodysplastic (n = 25) and myeloproliferative syndromes (n = 3). Thirty-five patients (27%) had received a prior HCT. One hundred twenty-three patients (95%) engrafted, with neutrophil recovery occurring at a median of 19 days for patients on arm 1 and 20 days for patients on arm 2. The 3-year overall survival, relapse-free survival (RFS), transplant-related mortality, and relapse for the combined groups were 66%, 57%, 18%, and 24%, respectively. Among patients who had a prior HCT, RFS at 3 years was 48%. No significant differences in clinical outcomes were seen between the 2 arms. Our results demonstrate that TREO-based conditioning for CBT recipients is safe and effective in promoting CB engraftment with favorable clinical outcomes. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00796068.

Abstract
The prognosis of patients with acute leukemia relapsed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is dismal. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes and prognostic factors of the second HSCT (HSCT2) in acute leukemia patients relapsed after the first HSCT (HSCT1). We analyzed 80 patients who received HSCT2 for relapsed acute leukemia in two Korean institutes. All but four patients received HSCT2 from a donor other than matched sibling donor: an unrelated donor (URD) in 30 and a familial haploidentical donor (FHD) in 46. Forty-four patients (55.0%) were in complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) at HSCT2, and the median time from HSCT1 to relapse was 9 months. The 2-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were 21.0% and 17.5%, respectively. The outcomes were similar between URD and FHD. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that disease status (active disease vs. CR/CRi) at HSCT2 and remission duration after HSCT1 were independent prognostic factors for OS and EFS after HSCT2. HSCT2 from URD or FHD was feasible in patients with acute leukemia relapsed after allogeneic HSCT. Also, our study confirmed two critical prognostic factors; disease status at HSCT2 and remission duration after HSCT1.

Abstract
T/myeloid mixed-phenotype acute leukemia not otherwise specified (MPAL NOS) is an uncommon and aggressive leukemia without well-established treatment guidelines, particularly when relapsed. Venetoclax plus a hypomethylating agent offers a promising option in this situation since studies support its use in both acute myeloid and, albeit with fewer data to date, acute T-cell-lymphoblastic leukemias. We report the successful eradication of T/myeloid MPAL NOS relapsed after allogeneic stem cell transplant with venetoclax plus decitabine. A consolidative allogeneic stem cell transplant from a second donor was subsequently performed, and the patient remained without evidence of disease more than one year later. Further investigation is indicated to evaluate venetoclax combined with hypomethylating agents and/or other therapies for the management of T/myeloid MPAL NOS.

Abstract
HLA haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), i.e., HSCT from a 1-HLA-haplotype-mismatched family donor, has been successfully performed even as a second transplantation for posttransplant relapse. Is the haploidentical the limit of HLA mismatches in HSCT? In order to explore the possibility of HLA-mismatched HSCT from family donors beyond haploidentical relatives, we conducted a prospective phase I/II study of 2-HLA-haplotype-mismatched HSCT (2-haplo-mismatch HSCT). We enrolled 30 patients with posttransplant relapse (acute myeloid leukemia: 18, acute lymphoblastic leukemia: 11, non-Hodgkin lymphoma: 1). 2-haplo-mismatch HSCT was performed as the second to sixth transplantations. The donors were siblings (n = 12), cousins (n = 16), and second cousins (n = 2). The conditioning regimen consisted of fludarabine, cytarabine, melphalan, low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin, and 3 Gy of total body irradiation. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consisted of tacrolimus, methylprednisolone, and mycophenolate mofetil. All patients achieved neutrophil engraftment, except for a case of early death. The cumulative incidences of grades II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD were 36.7% and 16.7%, respectively. The overall survival at 1 year, relapse, and non-relapse mortality rates was 30.1%, 38.9%, and 44.3%, respectively. Considering the poor prognosis of posttransplant relapse, 2-haplo-mismatch HSCT can be an alternative option in a second or third transplantation.
