Risk factors for positive post-transplantation measurable residual disease in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Chin Med J (Engl) 2024:00029330-990000000-01141. [PMID: 38979637 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000003150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The level of measurable residual disease (MRD) before and after transplantation is related to inferior transplant outcomes, and post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation measurable residual disease (post-HSCT MRD) has higher prognostic value in determining risk than pre-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation measurable residual disease (pre-HSCT MRD). However, only a few work has been devoted to the risk factors for positive post-HSCT MRD in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This study evaluated the risk factors for post-HSCT MRD positivity in patients with ALL who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). METHODS A total of 1683 ALL patients from Peking University People's Hospital between January 2009 and December 2019 were enrolled to evaluate the cumulative incidence of post-HSCT MRD. Cox proportional hazard regression models were built for time-to-event outcomes. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine independent influencing factors from the univariate analysis. RESULTS Both in total patients and in T-cell ALL or B-cell ALL, pediatric or adult, human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling donor transplantation or haploidentical SCT subgroups, positive pre-HSCT MRD was a risk factor for post-HSCT MRD positivity (P <0.001 for all). Disease status (complete remission 1 [CR1] vs. ≥CR2) was also a risk factor for post-HSCT MRD positivity in all patients and in the B cell-ALL, pediatric, or haploidentical SCT subgroups (P = 0.027; P = 0.003; P = 0.035; P = 0.003, respectively). A risk score for post-HSCT MRD positivity was developed using the variables pre-HSCT MRD and disease status. The cumulative incidence of post-HSCT MRD positivity was 12.3%, 25.1%, and 38.8% for subjects with scores of 0, 1, and 2-3, respectively (P <0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed the association of the risk score with the cumulative incidence of post-HSCT MRD positivity and relapse as well as leukemia-free survival and overall survival. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that positive pre-MRD and disease status were two independent risk factors for post-HSCT MRD positivity in patients with ALL who underwent allo-HSCT.

Abstract
In this multicentre, real-world study, we aimed to identify the clinical outcomes and safety of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). A total of 130 Ann Arbor stage III or IV T-LBL patients (>16 years) treated with allo-HSCT across five transplant centres were enrolled. The 2-year cumulative incidence of disease progression, the probabilities of progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) after allo-HSCT were 21.0%, 69.8%, 79.5% and 9.2% respectively. Patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement had a higher cumulative incidence of disease progression compared with those without CNS involvement (57.1% vs. 18.9%, HR 3.78, p = 0.014). Patients receiving allo-HSCT in non-remission (NR) had a poorer PFS compared with those receiving allo-HSCT in complete remission (CR) or partial remission (49.2% vs. 72.7%, HR 2.21, p = 0.041). Particularly for patients with bone marrow involvement and achieving CR before allo-HSCT, measurable residual disease (MRD) positivity before allo-HSCT was associated with a poorer PFS compared with MRD negativity (62.7% vs. 86.8%, HR 1.94, p = 0.036). On multivariate analysis, CNS involvement at diagnosis and receiving allo-HSCT in NR were associated with disease progression. Thus, our real-world data suggested that allo-HSCT appeared to be an effective therapy for adult T-LBL patients with Ann Arbor stage III or IV disease.

Abstract
One of the consistent features in development of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the rapidity with which discoveries in the laboratory are translated into innovations in clinical care. Just a few years after murine studies demonstrated that rescue from radiation induced marrow failure is mediated by cellular not humoral factors, E. Donnall Thomas reported on the transfer of bone marrow cells into irradiated leukemia patients. This was followed quickly by the first descriptions of Graft versus Leukemia (GvL) effect and Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD). Despite the pivotal nature of these findings, early human transplants were uniformly unsuccessful and identified the challenges that continue to thwart transplanters today - leukemic relapse, regimen related toxicity, and GvHD. While originally only an option for young, fit patients with a matched family donor, expansion of the donor pool to include unrelated donors, umbilical cord blood units, and more recently the growing use of haploidentical donors have all made transplant a more accessible therapy for patients with ALL. Novel agents for conditioning, prevention and treatment of GvHD have improved outcomes and investigators continue to develop novel treatment strategies that balance regimen related toxicity with disease control. Our evolving understanding of how to prevent and treat GvHD and how to prevent relapse are incorporated into novel clinical trials that are expected to further improve outcomes. Here we review current considerations and future directions for both adult and pediatric patients undergoing HCT for ALL, including indication for transplant, donor selection, cytoreductive regimens, and outcomes.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death pathway that is different from apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necrosis. The main characteristics of ferroptosis are the Fenton reaction mediated by intracellular free divalent iron ions, lipid peroxidation of cell membrane lipids, and inhibition of the anti-lipid peroxidation activity of intracellular glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis can be involved in the pathological processes of many disorders, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, nervous system diseases, and blood diseases. However, the specific mechanisms by which ferroptosis participates in the occurrence and development of acute leukemia still need to be more fully and deeply studied. This article reviews the characteristics of ferroptosis and the regulatory mechanisms promoting or inhibiting ferroptosis. More importantly, it further discusses the role of ferroptosis in acute leukemia and predicts a change in treatment strategy brought about by increased knowledge of the role of ferroptosis in acute leukemia.

Haploidentical Versus Matched Sibling Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Adult Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Study From the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Hemasphere 2022; 6:e790. [PMID: 36258924 PMCID: PMC9575736 DOI: 10.1097/hs9.0000000000000790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The results of haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haploHCT) for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) transplanted in active disease remain largely unknown. We retrospectively analyzed adult patients with R/R ALL who underwent haploHCT or matched sibling donor (MSD-HCT) as a first transplantation between 2012 and 2020. The analysis comprised 274 patients, 94 had a haploHCT, and 180 had an MSD-HCT. The median follow-up was 32 months. The median age was 33 (range 18-76) and 37 (18-76) years in the haplo- and MSD-HCT groups, respectively. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) was used in 88% of haploHCT and in 4% of the MSD-HCT group. Graft-versus-host disease grade III-IV was higher in haploHCT than in the MSD-HCT group (18% versus 9%; P = 0.042). The 2-year chronic (c) graft-versus-host disease rates were 17% versus 33% (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.56; P = 0.14), respectively. By multivariate analysis, relapse incidence, and leukemia-free survival were not significatively different between the transplant groups, while nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was significantly higher (25% versus 18% at 2 years; HR = 2.03; P = 0.042) and overall survival (OS) lower (22% versus 38% at 2 years; HR = 1.72; P = 0.009) in the haploHCT group compared with the MSD-HCT group. We conclude that the 2-year OS of R/R ALL patients undergoing MSD transplants is significantly better than in haploHCT with a higher NRM in the latter.
