Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adults receiving haematopoietic cell transplantation: an international expert statement. THE LANCET. RESPIRATORY MEDICINE 2023; 11:477-492. [PMID: 36924784 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-2600(22)00535-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 03/16/2023]
Abstract
Combined advances in haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and intensive care management have improved the survival of patients with haematological malignancies admitted to the intensive care unit. In cases of refractory respiratory failure or refractory cardiac failure, these advances have led to a renewed interest in advanced life support therapies, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), previously considered inappropriate for these patients due to their poor prognosis. Given the scarcity of evidence-based guidelines on the use of ECMO in patients receiving HCT and the need to provide equitable and sustainable access to ECMO, the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization, and the International ECMO Network aimed to develop an expert consensus statement on the use of ECMO in adult patients receiving HCT. A steering committee with expertise in ECMO and HCT searched the literature for relevant articles on ECMO, HCT, and immune effector cell therapy, and developed opinion statements through discussions following a Quaker-based consensus approach. An international panel of experts was convened to vote on these expert opinion statements following the Research and Development/University of California, Los Angeles Appropriateness Method. The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation statement was followed to prepare this Position Paper. 36 statements were drafted by the steering committee, 33 of which reached strong agreement after the first voting round. The remaining three statements were discussed by all members of the steering committee and expert panel, and rephrased before an additional round of voting. At the conclusion of the process, 33 statements received strong agreement and three weak agreement. This Position Paper could help to guide intensivists and haematologists during the difficult decision-making process regarding ECMO candidacy in adult patients receiving HCT. The statements could also serve as a basis for future research focused on ECMO selection criteria and bedside management.

Abstract
The outcomes of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) presenting relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) are poor, with few data available in this setting. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS To evaluate the outcomes of patients with ALL presenting relapsed after allo-SCT, we performed a retrospective study including 132 from 11 centres in Spain. RESULTS Therapeutic strategies consisted of palliative treatment (n = 22), chemotherapy (n = 82), tyrosine kinase inhibitors (n = 26), immunotherapy with inotuzumab and/or blinatumumab (n = 19), donor lymphocyte infusions (n = 29 pts), second allo-SCT (n = 37) and CAR T therapy (n = 14). The probability of overall survival (OS) at 1 and 5 years after relapse was 44% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 36%; 52%) and 19% (95% CI: 11%; 27%). In the 37 patients undergoing a second allo-SCT, the 5-year estimated OS probability was 40% [22%; 58%]. Younger age, recent allo-SCT, late relapse, 1st complete remission at 1st allo-SCT and chronic graft-versus-host disease confirmed their positive impact on survival in the multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION Despite the poor prognosis of patients with ALL presenting relapse after a first allo-SCT, some can be satisfactorily rescued and a second allo-SCT still remains a valid option for selected patients. Moreover, emerging therapies really might improve ALL patients outcome when relapsing after an allo-SCT.

Successful outcomes of second hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for graft failure in pediatric patients with severe aplastic anemia. Sci Rep 2022; 12:10528.

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
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is potentially curative for hematological disease however can be complicated by relapse or graft failure (GF), for which second-HCT and donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) are performed. This study aimed to compare outcomes following the two interventions. METHODS We retrospectively investigated 89 patients with relapse or GF after first-HCT, 50 (56%) underwent second HCT and 39 (44%) received (DLI), from June 2011 to September 2020. RESULTS Median age at intervention was 55 years (19-72). Second-HCT was performed for relapse in 19 patients and for GF in 31 patients (primary GF in 11 and secondary in 20 patients), same donor was used in 25 (50%) patients. DLI was performed for relapse in 20 and for secondary GF in 19 patients. Median number of DLI administered was 2 (range 1-11). Univariate analysis demonstrated 2 year overall survival (OS) for second-HCT was superior when performed for relapse (65%) compared to GF (44%) (P = .03). For DLI patients, 2 year OS was 49% for GF and 45% for relapse patients (P = .49). For relapse as an indication, second-HCT demonstrated borderline superiority compared to DLI (P = .07). Multivariable analysis demonstrated for OS for the entire cohort demonstrated donor mismatch (HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.26%-0.94%, P = .03), KPS at time of intervention (HR 2.10, 95% CI 1.14%-3.85%, P = .02) and time from first-HCT to intervention (HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.28%-0.93%, P = .03) as significant variables. CONCLUSION Second-HCT may improve outcomes when performed for relapse post-transplant if patients achieve remission again, while DLI may be reserved for patients with active disease.

Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Comorbidity Index Score Is Correlated with Treatment-Related Mortality and Overall Survival following Second Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Children. Transplant Cell Ther 2021; 28:155.e1-155.e8. [PMID: 34848362 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2021.11.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can lead to considerable complications and treatment-related mortality (TRM); therefore, a detailed assessment of risks is essential. The Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) can predict both TRM and overall survival (OS). Although the HCT-CI has been validated as a useful tool for first HCT, its potential utility for second HCT has not yet been investigated. Here we aimed to evaluate the utility of the HCT-CI score in assessing the risk of TRM and OS in the setting of a second allogeneic HCT. This was a retrospective analysis of all pediatric patients (age <21 years) who underwent a second allogeneic HCT at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco between 2008 and 2019. According to their HCT-CI, patients were classified as "low risk" with an HCT-CI of 0 or "intermediate-high risk" with an HCT-CI ≥1. A total of 59 patients were included in the study. Our primary endpoint was TRM, observed at 100 days, 180 days, 1 year, and last follow-up following HCT, and our secondary endpoint was OS at 1 year and at 5 years or last follow-up. We also evaluated outcomes of patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit based on the HCT-CI score. Seventy-six percent of patients had an HCT-CI of 0. The most frequent comorbidities were pulmonary, seen in 7 patients (12%; 95% CI, 5% to 23%), including 5 (71%) with moderate and 2 (29%) with severe comorbidities. The OS and the cumulative incidence of TRM at 1 year for the entire cohort were 81% (95% CI, 69% to 90%) and 12% (95% CI, 5% to 22%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of TRM and OS at 1 year showed a significant correlation with HCT-CI score; TRM was 4% (95% CI, 1% to 13%) for an HCT-CI of 0 versus 36% (95% CI, 13% to 60%) for an HCT-CI ≥1 (P < .001), and OS was 89% (95% CI, 75% to 99%) for an HCT-CI of 0 versus 57% (95% CI, 28% to 78%) for an HCT-CI ≥1 (P = .003). After adjusting for covariates, HCT-CI continued to be associated with both TRM (P = .004) and OS (P = .003). In addition, comparing patients with malignancies and nonmalignant disorders, disease-free-survival at last follow-up was higher in the nonmalignant disorder group and also was influenced by the HCT-CI score in each group (P = .0035). There also was a significant difference in outcomes of patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit; 15 patients (68%) with an HCT-CI of 0 were alive at last follow-up, compared with only two (22%) with an HCT-CI ≥1 (P = .016). HCT-CI has an impact on TRM and OS and may serve as a predictor of outcomes of second allogeneic transplantation. Although this study was conducted in a relatively small sample, it is the first to investigate the utility of the HCT-CI score in predicting outcomes after a second allogeneic HCT in pediatric recipients. © 2021 American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

Effects of second transplantation with T-cell-replete haploidentical graft using low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin on long-term overall survival in pediatric patients with relapse of leukemia after first allogeneic transplantation. Int J Hematol 2021; 115:414-423.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the preferred treatment for children with high-risk hematologic malignancies, but post-allo-HSCT relapse has a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. We evaluated the feasibility, outcome, and risk factors influencing survival after T-cell-replete haploidentical HSCT with low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in 30 patients with post-allo-HSCT relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia. Overall, 50% of the patients had complete remission (CR) before the second transplant and the overall survival (OS) rate was 52%. In surviving patients (median follow-up 614 days), Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed estimated 2-year leukemia-free survival and OS rates of 48.1% and 61.1%, respectively. Cumulative incidences of 2-year non-relapse mortality and relapse were 24.7% and 36.3%, respectively. Achieving CR before the second allo-HSCT was a predominant independent prognostic factor identified in the multivariate analysis, with a significantly improved 2-year OS rate of 86.7%. T-cell-replete haplo-HSCT with low-dose ATG for second allo-HSCT may benefit a selected patient population.

Abstract
The EBMT Chronic Malignancies Working Party performed a retrospective analysis of 215 patients who underwent a second allo-HCT for myeloma between 1994 and 2017, 159 for relapse and 56 for graft failure. In the relapse group, overall survival (OS) was 38% (30–46%) at 2 years and 25% (17–32%) at 5 years. Patients who had a HLA-identical sibling (HLAid-Sib) donor for their first and second transplants had superior OS (5 year OS: HLAid-Sib/HLAid-Sib: 35% (24–46%); Others 9% (0–17%), p < 0.001). There was a significantly higher incidence of acute grade II-IV GvHD in those patients who had also developed GvHD following their initial HLA-identical sibling allo-HCT (HLAid-Sib/HLAid-Sib: 50% (33–67%); Other 22% (8–36%), p = 0.03). More as opposed to fewer than 2 years between transplants was associated with superior 5-yr OS (31% (21–40%) vs. 10% (1–20%), P = 0.005). On multivariate analysis, consecutive HLA-identical sibling donor transplants conferred a significant OS advantage (0.4 (0.24–0.67), p < 0.001). In the graft failure group, OS was 41% at 2 years. In summary, a second allo-HCT using a HLA-identical sibling donor, if available, provides the best transplant outcomes for relapsed myeloma in this setting.

Second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with acute leukemia relapsed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Clin Transplant 2021; 35:e14199.

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.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a 2-HLA-haplotype-mismatched family donor for posttransplant relapse: a prospective phase I/II study. Bone Marrow Transplant 2020; 56:70-83. [PMID: 32564055 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-020-0980-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2019] [Revised: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 06/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
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.

What is the role of a second allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant in relapsed acute myeloid leukemia? Bone Marrow Transplant 2019; 55:325-331. [PMID: 31160807 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-019-0584-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2019] [Revised: 04/29/2019] [Accepted: 05/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) entails a poor prognosis. Treating these cases is challenging due to lack of effective therapies and, in some cases, poor performance status and/or presence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), among others. No randomized controlled trial (RCT) has ever been conducted comparing a second allo-HCT against other treatments. Existing data are mainly from observational studies or registries. Success of a second allo-HCT is dependent on appropriately selecting patients who might achieve best outcomes with reasonable non-relapse mortality (NRM) risk. Several factors are associated with worse outcomes, namely a shorter time from first allo-HCT to relapse or to the second allo-HCT, and AML not being in complete hematologic remission (CR). Patients relapsing earlier than 6 months or having active/persistent disease should be enrolled in clinical trials. Limitations of the published literature include retrospective small size studies, a heterogeneous population, and absence of information on somatic mutations, among others. Future studies assessing the role of a second allo-HCT should evaluate the impact of IDH1, IDH2, or others on outcomes; and the feasibility and efficacy of targeted therapies in the pre-, peri-, or post-second allo-HCT setting.

Abstract
Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) have a poor prognosis, and alternative therapies are needed for this patient population. Blinatumomab, a bispecific T cell engager immunotherapy, was evaluated in an open-label, single-arm, phase II study of adults with R/R Philadelphia chromosome-negative B cell precursor ALL and resulted in a rate of complete remission (CR) or CR with partial hematologic recovery of peripheral blood counts (CRh) of 43% within 2 treatment cycles. We conducted an exploratory analysis to determine the efficacy and safety of blinatumomab in 64 patients who had relapsed following alloHSCT before enrollment in the phase II study. Forty-five percent of the patients (29 of 64) achieved a CR/CRh within the first 2 cycles of treatment, 22 of whom had a minimal residual disease (MRD) response (including 19 with a complete MRD response). After 1 year and 3 years of follow-up, the median relapse-free survival was 7.4 months for patients who achieved CR/CRh in the first 2 cycles, and the median overall survival was 8.5 months; overall survival rate (Kaplan-Meier estimate) was 36% at 1 year and 18% at 3 years. Grade 3 and 4 adverse events were reported in 20 patients (31%) and 28 patients (44%), respectively, with grade 3 and 4 neurologic events in 8 and 2 patients, respectively, and grade 3 cytokine release syndrome in 2 patients. Eight patients had fatal adverse events, including 5 due to infections. Seven patients had grade ≤ 3 graft-versus-host disease during the study, none of which resulted in the discontinuation of blinatumomab or hospitalization. Our data suggest that blinatumomab is an effective salvage therapy in this patient population.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the treatment of choice for high-risk myeloid and lymphoid leukemias. Relapse after allogeneic HCT is associated with a dismal prognosis and further therapeutic options are limited. One potential curative approach is a second allogeneic HCT. However, there is no consensus about optimal transplant modalities, suitable patients, and entities. We performed a retrospective analysis of our institutional database to evaluate risk factors that influence survival after a second allogeneic HCT for the treatment of relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We identified 40 patients (AML, n = 29; ALL, n = 11) that received a second allogeneic HCT at our institution. At time of second HCT, 48% of patients were in complete remission (CR). Current overall survival (OS) was 14/40 patients with a median follow-up of 64 months (range 4-140) of patients alive resulting in a Kaplan-Meier estimated 2-year event-free survival (EFS) and OS of 32%, respectively. Cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality (NRM) and relapse at 2 years was 31 and 37%, respectively. We identified several independent risk factors influencing OS: > 6 months from first to second transplant (p = 0.02), complete remission prior to transplant (p = 0.003), and the subsequent occurrence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (p = 0.003) were associated with a significantly improved OS. In conclusion, our data suggest that a second allogeneic HCT is a curative treatment option for relapsed acute leukemias in selected patients.
