Clinical characteristics and outcomes of overt gastrointestinal bleeding in children undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a single-center retrospective analysis. BMC Pediatr 2024; 24:479. [PMID: 39068438 PMCID: PMC11282719 DOI: 10.1186/s12887-024-04950-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Overt gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a potentially serious and life-threatening condition in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, relatively little information is available regarding overt GIB in children. OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence, clinical patterns, and outcomes of overt GIB in children undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). METHODS A total of 123 consecutive patients with malignant or non-malignant blood disorders who received haplo-HSCT were reviewed in our hospital between October 2017 and October 2022. Overt GIB was determined as hematemesis, melena or hematochezia. Continuous variables were compared by Mann Whitney U test. Categorical parameters were compared by the χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests were used to assess overall survival (OS), non-relapse mortality (NRM) and relapse. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify potential risk factors of overt GIB development. RESULTS The median follow-up was 26.3 (range,1.7-74.8) months. Overt GIB occurred in 31 patients (25.2% incidence), with a median time elapsed after haplo-HSCT of 376 days (range, 58-1275 days). Compared with the non-GIB group, patients with overt GIB had reduced OS and increased NRM. In multivariate analysis, grade III-IV gut acute graft versus-host disease (aGvHD), thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia were significant risk factors for the occurrence of overt GIB after haplo-HSCT. CONCLUSIONS Overt GIB is a frequent complication after haplo-HSCT in pediatric patients, and associated with worse survival. Grade III-IV gut aGvHD, TMA and CMV viremia were associated with its development.

Front Oncol 2024; 14:1399696. [PMID: 39050576 PMCID: PMC11266128 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1399696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is a critical complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Awareness about TA-TMA has increased in recent years, resulting in the implementation of TA-TMA screening in most centers. Methods Retrospective analysis of children who underwent autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at our center between January 2018 and December 2022 was conducted to evaluate the incidence, clinical features, and outcomes of TA-TMA following the administration of different therapeutic options. Results A total of 45 patients comprised the study cohort, of whom 10 developed TA-TMA with a cumulative incidence of 22% by 100 days after transplantation. Patients with and without TA-TMA in our cohort displayed an overall survival of 80% and 88%, respectively (p = 0.48), and a non-relapse mortality of 0% and 5.7%, respectively (p = 0.12), at 1 year after transplantation. Risk factors for TA-TMA development included allogeneic transplantation and total body irradiation-based conditioning regime. Among the 10 patients with TA-TMA, 7 did not meet the high-risk criteria described by Jodele and colleagues. Of these seven patients, two responded to calcineurin-inhibitor withdrawal without further therapy and five developed multiorgan dysfunction syndrome and were treated with anti-inflammatory steroids (prednisone), and all responded to therapy. The three patients with high-risk TA-TMA were treated with complement blockade or prednisone, and all responded to therapy. Conclusion TA-TMA is a multifactorial complication with high morbidity rates. Patients with high-risk TA-TMA may benefit from complement blockade using eculizumab. No consensus has been reached regarding therapy for patients who do not meet high-risk criteria. Our analysis showed that these patients may respond to anti-inflammatory treatment with prednisone.

Abstract
Background Secondary failure of platelet recovery (SFPR) is a common complication that influences survival and quality of life of patients with β-thalassemia major (β-TM) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Objectives A model to predict the risk of SFPR in β-TM patients after HSCT was developed. Design A retrospective study was used to develop the prediction model. Methods The clinical data for 218 β-TM patients who received HSCT comprised the training set, and those for another 89 patients represented the validation set. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression algorithm was used to identify the critical clinical factors with nonzero coefficients for constructing the nomogram. Calibration curve, C-index, and receiver operating characteristic curve assessments and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the calibration, discrimination, accuracy, and clinical usefulness of the nomogram. Internal and external validation were used to test and verify the predictive model. Results The nomogram based on pretransplant serum ferritin, hepatomegaly, mycophenolate mofetil use, and posttransplant serum albumin could be conveniently used to predict the SFPR risk of thalassemia patients after HSCT. The calibration curve of the nomogram revealed good concordance between the training and validation sets. The nomogram showed good discrimination with a C-index of 0.780 (95% CI: 70.3-85.7) and 0.868 (95% CI: 78.5-95.1) and AUCs of 0.780 and 0.868 in the training and validation sets, respectively. A high C-index value of 0.766 was reached in the interval validation assessment. DCA confirmed that the nomogram was clinically useful when intervention was decided at the possibility threshold ranging from 3% to 83%. Conclusion We constructed a nomogram model to predict the risk of SFPR in patients with β-TM after HSCT. The nomogram has a good predictive ability and may be used by clinicians to identify SFPR patients early and recommend effective preventive measures.

Eltrombopag treatment in thrombocytopenia following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A multicenter real-world experience. Leuk Res 2024; 140:107484. [PMID: 38520796 DOI: 10.1016/j.leukres.2024.107484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Thrombocytopenia is among the most common complications following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity with no standard treatment yet. In this multicenter and retrospective study, we aim to present our multi-center experience of Eltrombopag treatment in patients with isolated thrombocytopenia following HSCT. MATERIAL-METHOD A total of 73 patients from 5 centers who underwent autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation, had no primary disease relapse, all of whom had neutrophil engraftment, complete chimerism, and who were diagnosed with Prolonged Isolated Thrombocytopenia (PIT) or Secondary Failure Of Platelet Recovery (SFPR) were included in the study. The patients were initiated on Eltrombopag at a dose of 50-150 mg. Complete response was defined as a platelet count >50×109/L for 7 consecutive days with no transfusion support. RESULTS A total of 50.3% of the patients underwent Autologous and 49.7% Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation, 54.8% were diagnosed with PIT, and 45.2% were diagnosed with SFPR, and the treatment with 50-150 mg/day Eltrombopag was initiated on the median day +42. Complete response was achieved in 71.2% of these patients on the median day 23 of the treatment. No significant effects of the initial dose (50-150 mg/day) were detected in the Complete Response in the multivariate analysis on response. An insufficient number of Megakaryocytes in the bone marrow before Eltrombopag treatment was determined as an independent risk factor in determining the response (OR 3.57, 95% CI 1.21-10.55). The overall survival of the patients who did not respond to Eltrombopag was found to be significantly worse than that of patients who responded (p=0.022, HR:2.74, 95% CI 1.12-6.54). CONCLUSION As a result of the present study, Eltrombopag treatment was found to be effective and safe in thrombocytopenia that develops following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It was concluded that its use may be more effective in patients with sufficient bone marrow megakaryocytes before the treatment and an initial dose of 50 mg/day may be appropriate in terms of cost, effectiveness, and toxicity. Large-scale randomized and controlled prospective studies are needed to determine the roles of Eltrombopag treatment in patients with post-transplant PIT and SFPR.

Thrombopoietin level predicts the response to avatrombopag treatment for persistent thrombocytopenia after haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Bone Marrow Transplant 2023; 58:1368-1376. [PMID: 37679646 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-023-02100-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023]
Abstract
Persistent thrombocytopenia (PT) has an unsatisfactory response to therapy after haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). We retrospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of avatrombopag treatment in 69 patients with PT following haplo-HSCT and assessed whether baseline thrombopoietin (TPO) levels could predict treatment response. Overall response (OR) and complete response (CR) were defined as increased platelet levels to over 20 × 109/L or 50 × 109/L independent of platelet transfusion during or within 7 days of the end of avatrombopag treatment, respectively. The incidences of OR and CR were 72.5% and 58.0%, with a median of 11 and 29 days to OR and CR, respectively. ROC analysis suggested that the optimally discriminant baseline TPO level threshold for both OR and CR to avatrombopag was ≤ 1714 pg/mL. In multivariate analysis, a lower baseline TPO level (P = 0.005) was a significant independent factor of response to avatrombopag. For patients resistant to other TPO receptor agonists (TPO-RAs), 9/16 (56.3%) exhibited a response after switching to avatrombopag. Avatrombopag was well tolerated, and responders achieved improved overall survival (79.0% vs. 91.1%, P = 0.001). In conclusion, avatrombopag is a potential safe and effective treatment for PT after haplo-HSCT, and lower baseline TPO levels predicted a better response.

Risks factors and outcomes for isolated catheter-related deep venous thrombosis in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Thromb Res 2023; 229:1-6. [PMID: 37356171 PMCID: PMC10527315 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2023.06.017] [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: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/27/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) require indwelling central venous catheters. The comparative incidence, risk, and outcome of isolated catheter-related deep venous thrombosis (CR-DVT) versus pulmonary embolism/lower-extremity DVT (PE/LE-DVT) remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study for patients undergoing allo-HSCT from 2006 to 2019. CR-DVT and PE/LE-DVT outcomes were screened using ICD codes and radiology reports and confirmed by medical record reviews. Cox regression models were used to assess the association between thrombotic outcomes and pertinent baseline and time-varying covariates. The impact of thrombotic events within 1-year post-transplant (time-varying) on overall mortality was also assessed. RESULTS Among 2879 patients, the cumulative incidence of isolated CR-DVT and PE/LE-DVT at 12 months was 4.2 % and 4.8 %, respectively. The strongest time-varying predictor for onset of CR-DVT and PE/LE-DVT was hospitalization inpatient status (HR 3.71 [95 % CI 2.16-6.37] and 3.99 [95 % CI 2.00-7.99], respectively). Other overlapping variables included lymphoma diagnosis and BMI > 35 kg/m2, whereas acute GVHD grades 2-4 were found to be significantly associated with risk of PE/LE-DVT but not CR-DVT. After adjusting for baseline variables and acute GVHD, the occurrences of CR-DVT and PE/LE-DVT were both independently associated with increased overall mortality (HR 1.58 [95 % CI 1.23-2.02] and HR 1.53 [95 % CI 1.19-1.97], respectively). CONCLUSIONS We observed a high incidence of both CR-DVT and PE/LE-DVT with overlapping and unique risk factors. CR-DVT was also associated with increased mortality similar to PE/LE-DVT. Standardized strategies targeting high-risk hospitalization periods may help mitigate the development of thrombotic outcomes post-transplant.

Abstract
Objective: To study hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-related bleeding prognosis and construct a bleeding prediction model. Methods: The clinical data of 555 patients with malignant hematologic diseases who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation between May 1(st) 2004, and April 1(st) 2012 was analyzed retrospectively, and a prediction model was constructed. Results: Of the 555 patients, a total of 302 (54.0% ) patients exhibited bleeding events of varying degrees, including 151 (27.0% ) with grade Ⅰ bleeding, 63 (11.0% ) with grade Ⅱ bleeding, 48 (9.0% ) with grade Ⅲ bleeding, and 40 (7.0% ) with grade Ⅳ bleeding. Multifactorial analysis showed that the overall mortality (HR=12.53, 95% CI 7.91-19.87, P<0.001) and non-recurrence mortality (HR=23.79, 95% CI 12.23-46.26, P<0.001) were higher in patients with higher bleeding grades (Ⅲ and Ⅳ bleeding) compared to those with lower bleeding grades. Additionally, the donor's underlying disease, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) score, poor platelet reconstitution, and ineffective platelet transfusion were independently associated with bleeding risk. The bleeding model constructed using the above variables showed good accuracy (C-Index=0.934) , and its efficacy was significantly higher than previous bleeding models. Conclusion: Hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients are at increased risk of death after a bleeding event. The cross-validated bleeding risk prediction model is valuable for early intervention.

Gastrointestinal Complications after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant: A Multidisciplinary Approach with Early Endoscopic Evaluation. Clin Hematol Int 2021; 3:161-168. [PMID: 34938988 PMCID: PMC8690703 DOI: 10.2991/chi.k.210826.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 08/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Gastrointestinal complications (GICs) represent the major cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Differential diagnosis of GICs is of paramount importance since early and reliable identification of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is essential for a correct management of the patients. The aim of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the occurrence of GICs after allo-HSCT and to assess the diagnostic performance of a quick endoscopic and histological assessment in the differential diagnosis between GVHD and other GI conditions. Between January 2015 and August 2019, 122 consecutive patients receiving an allo-HSCT were managed by an interdisciplinary team, supported by a dedicated endoscopic service. Clinical, therapeutic, endoscopic and histological data were analyzed for each patient. Collectively, 94 of the patients developed GICs (77%). A moderate–severe mucositis was the most frequent complication, occurring in 79 patients (84%). Acute GI-GVHD was diagnosed in 35 patients (37% of whom with GICs) and 19 of them with a moderate–severe grade. Infective acute colitis developed in eight patients, mainly due to Clostridium difficile (CD) and Cytomegalovirus infections (8.5%). Rectal biopsy showed the highest sensitivity and specificity (80% and 100%, respectively). However, when biopsy procedures were guided by symptoms and performed on apparently intact mucosa, upper histology also provided a high negative predictive value (80%). Our multidisciplinary approach with a quick endoscopic/histologic investigation in the patients receiving an allo-HSCT and who suffered GICs could improve diagnostic and therapeutic management in this challenging setting.

Incidence and risk factors associated with bleeding and thrombosis following chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. Blood Adv 2021; 5:4465-4475. [PMID: 34521106 PMCID: PMC8579267 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2021004716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Clinically significant bleeding occurred in 9% of patients after CAR T therapy and was associated with features of systemic coagulopathy. Low baseline platelets and possibly high-grade ICANS are risk factors for bleeding and require close monitoring for bleeding up to 1 month.
Bleeding and thrombotic events are an emerging toxicity associated with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies. To determine their incidence, we retrospectively analyzed consecutive adult patients (N = 127) with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treated from 2017 through 2020 with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; n = 89) or a bispecific CD19/CD22 CAR (n = 38). Twelve (9.4%) and 8 (6.3%) patients developed bleeding and thrombosis within the first 3 months, respectively. In the axi-cel subgroup, these occurred in 11.2% and 6.7%, respectively. Bleeding occurred between days 8 and 30 (median, 17.5) and thrombosis between days 2 and 91 (median, 29). Bleeding sites included genitourinary, soft tissue, intracranial, gastrointestinal, and pulmonary and were associated with features of consumptive coagulopathy. On univariate analysis, patients with bleeding were older, had lower baseline platelets (86 × 103/μL vs 178 × 103/μL; P < .01), lower platelet and fibrinogen nadirs , and elevated lactate dehydrogenase. Immune effector cell (IEC)–associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) grade ≥3 was associated with increased bleeding (50% vs 15%; P = .01), thrombosis (50% vs 16%; P = .04), prothrombin time prolongation, hypofibrinogenemia, and elevated D-dimer. Low pretreatment platelet counts were associated with bleeding in a multivariate logistic regression model. Patients with thrombocytopenia or severe ICANS are at increased risk of bleeding and should be closely monitored, particularly within the first month after CAR therapy. Future studies in larger cohorts should assess risk factors for systemic coagulopathies in CAR T therapy, including their association with neurotoxicity.

Eltrombopag in the treatment of patients with persistent thrombocytopenia after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation: a single-center experience. Ann Hematol 2021; 101:397-408.

Abstract
Persistent thrombocytopenia (PT) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and poor survival. The exact pathogenesis underlying PT remains unclear, and its management is difficult. Here we conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag (EPAG) in 34 patients with PT after allo-HSCT. Seven patients suffered from prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia (PIT), and 27 had secondary failure of platelet recovery (SFPR). For most patients, the initial dose was 25 mg or 50 mg daily, then adjusted to the maximum dose of 50-100 mg per day according to the response of platelet recovery and toleration of patients. The cumulative incidence (CI) of platelet recovery to at least 20 × 109/L and 50 × 109/L without transfusion support for at least 7 days was 72.1% and 60.7%, respectively. Nineteen (86.4%) of 22 responders were able to taper off the medication; furthermore, the platelet counts remained stable 1 month after withdrawal of EPAG. Although two patients discontinued EPAG during treatment due to headache and nausea, no patients developed grade 3 or 4 toxicities. Hypoplasia of bone marrow and decreased megakaryocytes (MKs) were found to be risk factors for overall response (OR) and complete response (CR) in multivariate analysis, respectively. Overall, our results indicated that EPAG can be used in the treatment of PT and that continuous exposure to EPAG may not be necessary.

Impact of anticoagulation on recurrent thrombosis and bleeding after hematopoietic cell transplantation. Am J Hematol 2021; 96:1137-1146.

Abstract
History of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is prevalent among patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Management of anticoagulation is particularly challenging as most patients will have chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia while awaiting engraftment post-HCT. We conducted a retrospective study of autologous and allogeneic HCT recipients with prior VTE from 2006-2015 to 1) compare anticoagulant strategies on short-term VTE recurrence and bleeding and 2) assess predictors for VTE recurrence beyond 30 days. Patients with VTE were allocated to two cohorts based on anticoagulant strategy at thrombocytopenia onset and underwent inverse probability weighting to assess primary outcomes of VTE recurrence and bleeding within 30 days post-HCT. Subsequently, multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the association of 100-day VTE recurrence by the HIGH-2-LOW VTE risk assessment score and whether patients resumed anticoagulation at platelet recovery. Thirteen percent of recipients had VTE prior to HCT; of those meeting inclusion criteria, 227 continued anticoagulation and 113 temporarily discontinued it. Anticoagulant strategy was not significantly associated with decreased risk of VTE recurrence within 30 days (3% vs 4%, p = 0.61); however, risk of overall bleeding was non-significantly higher in those who continued vs discontinued anticoagulation (41% vs 31%, p = 0.08). In a subgroup of 250 allogeneic HCT patients, every one-point increase of HIGH-2-LOW score was significantly associated with VTE recurrence at 100 days (OR 1.57 [95% CI 1.10-2.23]), while anticoagulation resumption upon platelet engraftment was associated with lower recurrent risk (OR 0.48 [0.20-1.14]). Temporarily withholding anticoagulation during thrombocytopenia may optimize risk-benefit tradeoffs, though additional strategies are essential to prevent VTE recurrence after hematopoietic recovery.

A Meta-Analysis Evaluating the Incidence of Bleeding Events With Intravenous Defibrotide Treatment Outside the Veno-Occlusive Disease/Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome Setting. Clin Appl Thromb Hemost 2021; 26:1076029620935202.

Abstract
Defibrotide is approved to treat hepatic veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) with renal/pulmonary dysfunction following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in adult and pediatric patients in the United States, and to treat severe hepatic VOD/SOS post-HCT in adult and pediatric patients aged >1 month in the European Union. The defibrotide prescribing information warns that defibrotide may increase bleeding risk in VOD/SOS patients. To broaden our understanding of the incidence of bleeding with defibrotide, we performed a meta-analysis of the published literature of defibrotide use outside of the post-HCT VOD/SOS setting. Of 1857 records identified, 125 reported on defibrotide; 23 contained data on bleeding events. The estimated overall incidence of bleeding events was 1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0%-2%) and 8% (95% CI: 3%-14%) in studies using intravenous defibrotide and studies with controls, respectively. The risk ratio for bleeding events with intravenous defibrotide versus controls was 0.36 (95% CI: 0.24-0.52; P < .00001) among studies with data on intravenous defibrotide and controls. This meta-analysis of defibrotide use outside of the post-HCT VOD/SOS setting suggests that the incidence of bleeding with defibrotide is lower than controls.

Abstract
This retrospective study assessed the effectiveness of eltrombopag (EPAG), a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, in the treatment of poor graft function (PGF) following an allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Complete response was defined as normalization of blood counts, whereas partial response was defined as transfusion independence. A total of 48 patients with full donor chimerism after HSCT, received EPAG for a median of 120 days (range 10-591). Patients with uni- bi- or tri-lineage cytopenia started treatment at a median of 95 days (range 17-877) after HSCT. The overall response rate was 75%: 24 patients had a complete response and 12 had a partial response. Positive predictors of response were an HLA-matched donor, a CD34+ dose at transplant > 4 × 106/kg, and starting EPAG treatment at least 90 days after HSCT. Patients with more than one positive predictor had a response rate of 92% for the overall patient cohort and 94% for patients with tri-lineage cytopenia. One-year survival was 89% for complete responders, 60% for partial responders and 20% for non-responders (p = 0.0004). EPAG improves peripheral blood counts in patients with poor graft function following HSCT. Response to EPAG can be predicted and has a significant impact on survival.

Abstract
Severe bleeding is a major cause of death in acute leukemia (AL) patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogene hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, the prognostic value and prediction of HSCT-associated severe bleeding in GVHD patients have not been reported in cohort studies. We did a retrospective analysis of 200 AL patients with GVHD after allo-HSCT from Feb 1, 2014, to Dec 1, 2015. Multivariate analysis showed that the severe bleeding class was associated with the risk of death (HR 2.26, 95% CI 1.31-3.92, p<0.001***). In order to predict severe bleeding and figure out the solution to bleeding events, we established a multiple logistic regression model. HLA-DQB1 unmatching, megakaryocyte reconsititution failure, and III or IV GVHD were the independent risk factors for severe bleeding. Among all the variations above, OR of HLA-DQB1 was the highest (OR: 16.02, 95% CI: 11.54-48.68). Adding HLA-DQB1 to other factors improved the reclassification for predicting severe bleeding (NRI=0.195, z=2.634, p=0.008**; IDI=0.289, z=3.249, p<0.001***). Lasso regression was used to select variants. A nomogram of the logistic model was generated and displayed. Calibration curve demonstrated excellent accuracy in estimating severe bleeding (C index of 0.935). HLA-DQB1 showed excellent efficacy of predicting severe bleeding in HSCT patients.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) accounts for a significant proportion of life-threatening bleeding cases occurring after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, data on GIB after haploidentical HSCT (haplo-HSCT) are not available. A total of 3180 patients received haplo-HSCT at Peking University People's Hospital from January 2015 to November 2019, and GIB occurred in 188 of these patients (incidence of 5.9%). Platelet counts <30 × 109/L, viral hepatitis, acute kidney injury (AKI), gastrointestinal disease or bleeding before HSCT and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) were determined to be significant risk factors for the occurrence of GIB after haplo-HSCT. Grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), AKI, thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and gastrointestinal disease or bleeding before HSCT were significantly related to mortality in patients with GIB after haplo-HSCT. The predictive models developed for the occurrence and mortality of GIB performed well in terms of discrimination, and they might assist clinicians with personalised strategies for GIB prevention and treatment in patients after haplo-HSCT.

Abstract
Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) has a wide range of presentations after hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). We retrospectively studied the risk factors and outcomes of patients with early (≤day 100) and late (>day 100) TA-TMA. Among the 1451 HSCT recipients, early TA-TMA occurred in 45 (3.1%) patients at a median of 27 (3-91) days, and late TA-TMA in 39 (2.7%) patients at a median of 303 (122-2595) days. Patients with early TA-TMA were more likely to have high blood calcineurin-inhibitor levels (P < .001) and acute graph-vs-host disease (GVHD, P < .001), while late TMA patients were more likely to have chronic GVHD (P < .001). The estimated median overall survival after onset of TMA for the entire cohort was 6 months. The estimated median overall survival was not reached in patients with an improvement of TMA vs 2 months in patients with no improvement (P < .001). In the early TMA group, older age (for every 10 years, HR 1.40; 95% CI 1.00-1.94; P = .049) and bacterial infection (HR 2.42; 95% CI 0.98-6.00; P = .056) were positively associated with mortality. Switching to MMF treatment (HR 0.40; 95% CI 0.16-0.99; P = .047) and improvement of TMA (HR 0.08; 95% CI 0.03-0.25; P < .001) were negatively associated with mortality in the multivariate analysis. In the late TMA group, the improvement of TMA was the only independent predictor associated with a lower risk of death (HR 0.05; 95% CI 0.02-0.19; P < .001). Mortality rates in both early and late TMA remain unacceptably high. Future studies are needed for early diagnosis, trigger identifications, and use of targeted treatments.

Outcomes of symptomatic venous thromboembolism after haploidentical donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and comparison with human leukocyte antigen-identical sibling transplantation. Thromb Res 2020; 194:168-175.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is regarded as a curative therapy for majority of hematologic malignancies and some non-malignant hematologic diseases. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has become increasingly recognized as a severe complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). OBJECTIVES To show the characteristics of VTE after haploidentical donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID-HSCT) and make comparisons with matched related donor HSCT (MRD-HSCT). PATIENTS/METHODS A retrospective nested case-control study design was used, cases with VTE and matched controls were selected, with 3534 patients underwent HID-HSCT and 1289 underwent MRD-HSCT. RESULTS During follow-up, 114 patients with VTE were identified. The incidence of VTE in HID-HSCT group was similar to that of MRD-HSCT group (2.4% versus 2.3%, P = 0.92). In HID-HSCT group, VTE occurred at a median time of 92.5 days, which was earlier than MRD-HSCT group (243.5 days). For HID-HSCT, advanced disease status, cardiovascular risk factors, acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), and relapse were the independent risk factors for VTE. For MRD-HSCT, cardiovascular risk factors, aGVHD, and relapse were associated with VTE. Overall survival (OS) of patients following HID-HSCT and MRD-HSCT were similar, but the OS in patients with VTE was significantly lower than patients without VTE. CONCLUSIONS There was no statistical difference in the incidence of VTE after HID-HSCT compared with MRD-HSCT. The development of VTE adversely impacted the OS after allo-HSCT.

[PMID: 32319678 PMCID: PMC7497158 DOI: 10.1111/trf.15783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2019] [Revised: 03/04/2020] [Accepted: 03/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathogen inactivation (PI) techniques for platelet concentrates (PCs) are one of the latest innovations to improve blood safety and reduce the risk of transfusion‐transmitted infections (TTIs). An impaired function and in vivo recovery of platelets as well as an increased PC demand are concerns regarding these techniques. The intent of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic effect of PCs treated with the Intercept™ System by thromboelastometry (TEM) and to assess the clinical validity of its results in comparison to post‐transfusion increase (PTI) and corrected count increment (CCI). STUDY‐DESIGN AND METHODS This prospective‐observational study included 47 patients (m:f = 25:22; median age: 54 years [21‐70]) of our Bone Marrow Transplantation unit with hemato‐oncological malignancies transfused with Intercept™‐treated PCs. Serial TEM measurements were performed just before and 1 hour after PC transfusion and were analyzed for their correlation with PTI and CCI as well as for clinical variables. RESULTS The majority of our patients had received a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) (n = 41; 87%). In median 9 (1‐50) PCs were transfused. Serial TEM, PTI, and CCI measurements were available for 150 transfusion episodes. The median platelet dose transfused was 2.65 × 1011/unit (1.8‐6). The median CCI was 9.250 (0‐28.000). We observed a significant improvement in TEM parameters (p < 0.05) after transfusion of PI PCs, which did not mandatory correlate with the 1‐hour PTI and CCI. CONCLUSION Serial TEM measurements indicate the hemostatic effect of Intercept™‐treated PCs. The 1‐hour PTI and CCI may not appropriately reflect the in vivo function of platelets after PI PC transfusion.

Reduced β2-GPI is associated with increased platelet aggregation and activation in patients with prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia after allo-HSCT. SCIENCE CHINA-LIFE SCIENCES 2019; 62:921-929.

Abstract
We aimed to measure platelet function and its relationship with β2-GPI in prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia (PT) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Fifty-six patients with PT and 60 allo-HSCT recipients without PT (non-PT controls) were enrolled. Platelet aggregation and activation, β2-GPI and anti-β2-GPI antibody levels, vWF antigen, and vWF activity were analyzed. The effect of β2-GPI on platelet aggregation was also measured ex vivo. Results showed that ADP-induced platelet aggregation significantly increased (39%±7.5% vs. 23%±8.5%, P=0.032), and the platelet expression of both CD62p (33.6%±11.6% vs. 8.5%±3.5%, P<0.001) and PAC-1 (42.4%±7.6% vs. 6.8%±2.2%, P<0.001) was significantly higher in patients with PT than in those without PT. Significantly lower β2-GPI levels (164.2±12 μg mL-1 vs. 234.2±16 μg mL-1, P<0.001), higher anti-β2-GPI IgG levels (1.78±0.46 U mL-1 vs. 0.94±0.39 U mL-1, P<0.001), and increased vWF activity (133.06%±30.50% vs. 102.17%±25.90%, P<0.001) were observed in patients with PT than in those without PT. Both ADP-induced platelet aggregation (n=116, r2=-0.5042, P<0.001) and vWF activity (n=116, r2=-0.2872, P<0.001) were negatively correlated with β2-GPI levels. In summary, our data suggested that platelet aggregation and activation were significantly higher in patients with PT than in those without PT, which might be associated with reduced β2-GPI levels. The reduced β2-GPI levels might be due to the existence of anti-β2-GPI IgG.

Abstract
Refractory thrombocytopenia is a frequent and severe complication after haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) and lacks effective treatment strategies. Eltrombopag has shown promising results in several thrombocytopenia disorders. We report 38 patients treated with eltrombopag for refractory thrombocytopenia after haplo-HSCT. Eight patients had delayed platelet engraftment, 15 patients had secondary failure of platelet recovery, and 15 patients had poor graft function (PGF). Eltrombopag was initiated at 25 or 50 mg daily, and the dosage was adjusted to a maximum of 50-100 mg daily to maintain platelet between 50 × 109/L and 100 × 109/L. The cumulative incidence of platelet recovery to transfusion independence was 63.2% and to ≥50 × 109/L without transfusion support was 52.3%. Furthermore, neutrophil counts and hemoglobin were also increased in the nine responders with PGF. Nineteen (79.2%) of the 24 responders were able to taper off eltrombopag, and the remaining 5 patients were able to begin a taper. The median duration of treatment was 64 (range 14-195) days. The presence of megakaryocyte before initiation was the only independent factor influencing the efficacy of eltrombopag (P = 0.044). Eltrombopag was well tolerated in all patients. In summary, eltrombopag was a safe and effective therapy for refractory thrombocytopenia after haplo-HSCT.

Abstract
Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has not been well characterized in large population studies with clinically adjudicated cases. We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults who underwent allogeneic HCT between 2006 and 2015 to determine the incidence of and risk factors for TA-TMA and to describe its natural history and response to immunosuppressant withdrawal management. Among 2145 patients in this study, 192 developed TA-TMA with a cumulative incidence of 7.6% by 100days post-transplant. Independent pretransplant risk factors included the receipt of a second (or third) allogeneic HCT, HLA-mismatched donor, and myeloablative conditioning with or without total body irradiation; post-transplant risk factors included the antecedent development of acute graft-versus-host disease, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, bacteremia, invasive aspergillosis, BK viremia, and higher sirolimus trough level. Among TA-TMA patients 27% achieved hematologic resolution and 57% remained alive as of 90days after diagnosis. Antecedent risk factors stratified patients into different survival groups, and immunosuppressant withdrawal alone did not improve patient outcomes. In conclusion, TA-TMA is a heterogenous disease that occurs after allogeneic transplantation. Management with immunosuppressant withdrawal does not impact patient outcomes. Until further evidence becomes available, the management of TA-TMA should focus on the treatment of underlying diseases.

Abstract
AIMS This pilot study tested and refined a free-living physical activity intervention. The investigators evaluated the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and determined preliminary effects on physical activity, fatigue, muscle strength, functional ability, and quality of life. DESIGN This pilot study used a 1-group, pretest-posttest design. METHODS The free-living physical activity intervention consisted of an education component and 6 weeks of gradually increasing physical activity after discharge from the hospital. The intervention was designed to increase steps by 10% weekly. Subjects were assessed before transplantation and during the seventh week after discharge from the hospital after completing the intervention. Pretest-posttest scores were analyzed with paired t tests. RESULTS Subject wore the physical activity tracker for an average of 38 of 42 days and met their physical activity goals 57% of the time. Subjects reported significantly less physical fatigue after the free-living physical activity intervention compared with baseline (P = .05). Improvements in quality of life approached significance (P = .06). CONCLUSION The findings demonstrate that the free-living physical activity intervention implemented during the very early recovery period after transplantation is feasible and acceptable. The intervention potentially reduces fatigue and improves quality of life. The positive results must be interpreted cautiously given the pilot nature of the study. The evidence supports continued investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the possible risk factors for the occurrence and mortality of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) with concomitant acute graft-vs-host disease (aGVHD) and to investigate outcomes and treatments of this disorder after allo-HSCT. METHODS Fifty cases diagnosed with TMA with concomitant aGVHD and 150 controls were identified from a cohort composed of 3992 patients who underwent allo-HSCT from 2008 to 2016. RESULTS Grade III-IV aGVHD (P = .000), acute kidney injury (AKI) (P = .033), and hypertension (P = .028) were significant independent risk factors associated with the occurrence of TMA with concomitant aGVHD. A haptoglobin level below normal (P = .013), a maximum volume of diarrhea >2500 mL/d (P = .015), and bloody diarrhea (P = .049) were significant markers for death in both univariate and multivariate analyses. Patients diagnosed with TMA with concomitant aGVHD had a lower overall survival (OS), a higher non-relapse mortality (NRM), but a lower risk of relapse. CONCLUSIONS Thrombotic microangiopathy with concomitant aGVHD is a significant complication after allo-HSCT, with a worse outcome, including significantly lower OS and higher NRM. There are specific risk factors associated with occurrence and mortality of this complication.

Abstract
Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is central to the management of many haematological disorders. A frequent complication of HSCT is acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a condition in which immune cells from the donor attack healthy recipient tissues. The gastrointestinal system is among the most common sites affected by acute GVHD, and severe manifestations of acute GVHD of the gut portends a poor prognosis in patients after HSCT. Acute GVHD of the gastrointestinal tract presents both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although the clinical manifestations are nonspecific and overlap with those of infection and drug toxicity, diagnosis is ultimately based on clinical criteria. As reliable serum biomarkers have not yet been validated outside of clinical trials, endoscopic and histopathological evaluation continue to be utilized in diagnosis. Once a diagnosis of gastrointestinal acute GVHD is established, therapy with systemic corticosteroids is typically initiated, and non-responders can be treated with a wide range of second-line therapies. In addition to treating the underlying disease, the management of complications including profuse diarrhoea, severe malnutrition and gastrointestinal bleeding is paramount. In this Review, we discuss strategies for the diagnosis and management of acute GVHD of the gastrointestinal tract as they pertain to the practising gastroenterologist.

Abstract
Even though hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a potentially fatal complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), there is paucity of research on the management of associated multiorgan dysfunction. To help provide standardized care for the management of these patients, the HCT Subgroup of the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators and the Supportive Care Committee of the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium, collaborated to develop evidence-based consensus guidelines. After conducting an extensive literature search, in part 2 of this series we discuss the management of fluids and electrolytes, renal dysfunction; ascites, pleural effusion, and transfusion and coagulopathy issues in patients with VOD. We consider the available evidence using the GRADE criteria.

Defibrotide for Patients with Hepatic Veno-Occlusive Disease/Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome: Interim Results from a Treatment IND Study. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2017; 23:997-1004.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease, or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS), is a serious and potentially fatal complication of conditioning for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or of chemotherapy regimens alone. Defibrotide is a complex mixture of single-stranded polydeoxyribonucleotides that is approved in the United States for treating hepatic VOD/SOS with renal or pulmonary dysfunction post-HSCT and in the European Union, Israel, and South Korea for treating severe hepatic VOD/SOS post-HSCT. Defibrotide was previously available in the United States as an investigational drug through a treatment protocol (treatment IND) study. Interim results of that large, treatment IND study of patients with VOD/SOS and with or without multiorgan dysfunction (MOD; also known as multiorgan failure) are presented here. Defibrotide was administered i.v. at 6.25 mg/kg every 6 hours (25 mg/kg/day), with a recommended treatment duration of at least 21 days. Enrolled patients (n = 681) were diagnosed with VOD/SOS based on Baltimore or modified Seattle criteria or liver biopsy analysis. Among the 573 HSCT recipients, 288 (50.3%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 46.2% to 54.4%) were alive at day +100 post-HSCT. Day +100 survival for the pediatric (≤16 years) and adult (>16 years) subgroups was 54.5% (95% CI, 49.1% to 60.0%; n = 174 of 319) and 44.9% (95% CI, 38.8% to 51.0%; n = 114 of 254), respectively. In the MOD subgroup, 159 of 351 patients (45.3%; 95% CI, 40.1% to 50.5%) of patients were alive at day +100 post-HSCT. Treatment with defibrotide was generally well tolerated, and drug-related toxicities were consistent with previous studies. Adverse events were reported in 69.6% of safety-evaluable patients (399 of 573). Other than VOD/SOS and associated MOD symptoms, the most commonly reported treatment-emergent adverse event was hypotension (13.8%). Day +100 survival results observed in this trial were consistent with results seen in previous trials of defibrotide for VOD/SOS in adult and pediatric patients. These data support the potential benefit of defibrotide in treating a VOD/SOS patient population that includes those with and without MOD.

Abstract
Intensive cancer treatment followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) results in moderate to severe fatigue and physical inactivity, leading to diminished functional ability. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of an exercise intervention, strength training to enhance early recovery (STEER), on physical activity, fatigue, muscle strength, functional ability, and quality of life after HCT. This single-blind, randomized clinical trial compared strength training (n = 33) to usual care plus attention control with health education (UC + AC with HE) (n = 34). Subjects were stratified by type of transplantation and age. STEER consisted of a comprehensive program of progressive resistance introduced during hospitalization and continued for 6 weeks after hospital discharge. Fatigue, physical activity, muscle strength, functional ability, and quality of life were assessed before HCT hospital admission and after intervention completion. Data were analyzed using split-plot analysis of variance. Significant time × group interactions effects were noted for fatigue (P = .04). The STEER group reported improvement in fatigue from baseline to after intervention whereas the UC + AC with HE group reported worsened fatigue from baseline to after intervention. Time (P < .001) and group effects (P = .05) were observed for physical activity. Physical activity declined from baseline to 6 weeks after hospitalization. The STEER group was more physically active. Functional ability tests (timed stair climb and timed up and go) resulted in a significant interaction effect (P = .03 and P = .05, respectively). Subjects in the UC + AC with HE group were significantly slower on both tests baseline to after intervention, whereas the STEER group's time remained stable. The STEER group completed both tests faster than the UC + AC with HE group after intervention. Study findings support the use of STEER after intensive cancer treatment and HCT. Strength training demonstrated positive effects on fatigue, physical activity, muscle strength, and functional ability. The exact recovery patterns between groups and over time varied; the STEER group either improved or maintained their status from baseline to after intervention (6 weeks after hospital discharge) whereas the health education group generally declined over time or did not change.

Abstract
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the most life-threatening neurological complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Although cerebral complications and its causes after allo-HSCT are well documented, assessment of the incidence and risk factors of intracranial hemorrhage following allo-HSCT are less discussed. A nested case-control study was conducted involving 160 subjects drawn from 2169 subjects who underwent HSCT at Peking University People's Hospital between 2004 and 2014. Thirty-two patients (1.5 %) with ICH were identified, and 128 controls were matched for age, gender, transplantation type, and time of transplantation. Intracranial hemorrhage was identified by CT scan and/or MRI by searching hospital records. Among the 32 ICH patients, 27 (82.9 %) developed intraparenchymal hemorrhages (IPH), 2 cases (5.7 %) suffered subdural hematomas (SDH), and 3 cases (8.6 %) had multiple hemorrhage lesions in the brain parenchyma. The median time of appearance for cerebral hemorrhages was 147.5 days. Multivariate analysis showed that systemic infections (hazard ratio 2.882, 95 % confidence interval 1.231-6.746), platelet count (5.894, 1.145-30.339), and fibrinogen levels (3.611, 1.528-8.532) were independent risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage among HSCT patients. The cumulative survival rate in the intracranial hemorrhage and control groups were 43.3 and 74.7 % (P = .001), respectively. Intracranial hemorrhage is associated with high mortality and a decreased overall survival rate. Systemic infections, platelet count, and fibrinogen levels were individual independent risk factors.
