Utility of allogeneic stem cell transplantation for adult Ph+ALL with complete molecular remission. Am J Hematol 2024; 99:806-815. [PMID: 38314662 DOI: 10.1002/ajh.27237] [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: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) in the first complete remission (CR1) with complete molecular remission (CMR). We compared the outcomes between Ph+ALL patients who did or did not undergo allo-SCT in CR1. We included patients enrolled in the prospective clinical studies in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor era conducted by the Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group, who achieved CMR within 3 months. A total of 147 patients (allo-SCT: 101; non-SCT: 46) were eligible for this analysis. In the multivariate analyses, allo-SCT was significantly associated with both superior overall survival (OS) (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.54; 95% CI: 0.30-0.97; p = .04) and relapse-free survival (RFS) (aHR: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.12-0.38; p < .001). The 5-year adjusted OS and RFS were 73% and 70% in the allo-SCT cohort, whereas they were 50% and 20% in the non-SCT cohort. Despite the higher non-relapse mortality (aHR: 3.49; 95% CI: 1.17-10.4; p = .03), allo-SCT was significantly associated with a lower relapse rate (aHR: 0.10; 95% CI: 0.05-0.20; p < .001). In addition, allo-SCT was also associated with superior graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival (aHR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.25-0.74; p = .002). Propensity score-matched analyses confirmed the results of the multivariate analyses. In patients who achieved CMR within 3 months, allo-SCT in CR1 had superior survival and lower relapse compared with the non-SCT cohort.

Improvements in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation outcomes for adults with ALL over the past 3 decades. Blood Adv 2022; 6:4558-4569. [PMID: 35737870 PMCID: PMC9636313 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2022008032] [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: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a promising treatment for adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), an intractable hematological malignancy. The trends in allo-HCT outcomes over the past 30 years were examined to verify the efficacy of evolving treatment methods and to identify further challenges. We analyzed data from a registry database that included 8467 adult ALL patients who underwent their first allo-HCT between 1990 and 2019. The period was divided into three 10-year intervals for analysis. Five-year overall survival improved from 48.2% to 70.2% in the first complete remission (CR1), from 25.6% to 44.1% in subsequent CR, and from 10.0% to 22.7% in non-CR. Nonrelapse mortality improved over the 3 decades in each disease stage. However, the relapse rate only improved in CR1 every decade (26.3% to 15.9% in CR1, 33.4% to 32.8% in subsequent CR, and 53.6% to 54.8% in non-CR). Although there were continual improvements in adjusted survival for Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive patients, the improvement was inadequate for Ph− patients with t(4;11), t(8;14), t(14;18), or hypodiploidy. Allo-HCT outcomes for adults with ALL have improved over the past 30 years. Improved outcomes in the future will require more effective prevention of relapse in patients with ALL not in CR1 and in those with high-risk chromosomal abnormalities.

Ideal body weight is useful for predicting neutrophil engraftment and platelet recovery for overweight and obese recipients in single-unit cord blood transplantation. Transplant Cell Ther 2022; 28:504.e1-504.e7. [PMID: 35577325 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2022.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Since cord blood (CB) units are usually selected based on the cell dose /kg, overweight (25 kg/m2 ≤ body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2) and obese (30 kg/m2 ≤ BMI) recipients tend to have difficulty in getting appropriate CB units. In general, actual body weight (ABW) is used for CB unit selection. However, ideal body weight (IBW) has been reported to be more closely correlated with successful engraftment after autologous, allogeneic bone marrow, and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation than ABW. OBJECTIVES We conducted this analysis to clarify the threshold of CD34+ cell doses based on ideal body weight (CD34IBW) and to compare the outcomes among the groups stratified by the threshold according to actual body weight (CD34ABW) and CD34IBW for overweight and obese recipients in cord blood transplantation (CBT). STUDY DESIGN We retrospectively analyzed 650 overweight and obese recipients who received single-unit CBT. To focus on the recipients who received a low CD34+ cell dose /kg, those who received 1.5×105 CD34+ cells /ABW or more were excluded. Using a cut-off of 0.8×105 CD34+ cells/kg, we compared the outcomes in 3 groups with low CD34ABW and low CD34IBW (CD34Low/Low), low CD34ABW but high CD34IBW (CD34Low/High), and high CD34ABW and high CD34IBW (CD34High/High). RESULTS Hematopoietic recoveries were significantly delayed in the CD34Low/Low group compared with those in the CD34Low/High group (hazard ratio (HR) 0.67 for neutrophil, P < 0.001; HR 0.72 for platelet, P = 0.014), while those were comparable in the CD34Low/High and CD34High/High groups (HR 1.22 for neutrophil, P = 0.16; HR 1.29 for platelet, P = 0.088). Moreover, the CD34Low/High group demonstrated longer overall survival than the CD34Low/Low group (HR 1.48, P = 0.011) and comparable survival to the CD34High/High group (HR 0.93, P = 0.68). CONCLUSIONS This finding may address the lack of availability of CB units for some overweight and obese recipients for whom suitable donors are unavailable. Further investigations are warranted to evaluate the appropriateness of ABW and IBW.

Measurable residual disease affects allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in Ph+ ALL during both CR1 and CR2. Blood Adv 2021; 5:584-592. [PMID: 33496752 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2020003536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2020] [Accepted: 12/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Although measurable residual disease (MRD) at the time of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) has been reported to be an important prognostic factor for Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) during first complete remission (CR1), the prognostic impact of MRD is unclear during second CR (CR2). To clarify the impact of MRD for both CR1 and CR2, we analyzed data from a registry database including 1625 adult patients with Ph+ ALL who underwent first allo-HCT during either CR1 or CR2 between 2002 and 2017. Adjusted overall and leukemia-free survival rates at 4 years were 71% and 64%, respectively, for patients undergoing allo-HCT during CR1 with MRD-, 55% and 43% during CR1 with MRD+, 51% and 49% during CR2 with MRD-, and 38% and 29% during CR2 with MRD+. Although survival rates were significantly better among patients with CR1 MRD- than among patients with CR2 MRD-, no significant difference was observed in survival rate between patients with CR1 MRD+ and CR2 MRD-. Relapse rates after 4 years were 16% in patients with CR1 MRD-, 29% in CR1 MRD+, 21% in patients with CR2 MRD-, and 46% in patients with CR2 MRD+. No significant difference was identified in relapse rate between patients with CR1 MRD- and CR2 MRD-. CR2 MRD- was not a significant risk factor for relapse in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 1.26; 95% confidence interval, 0.69-2.29; P = .45 vs CR1 MRD-). MRD at time of allo-HCT was an important risk factor in patients with Ph+ ALL during both CR1 and CR2.

Abstract
We reviewed blood product use in 729 consecutive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) recipients at our center to assess the volume of red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets required after allo-HCT. The median number of bags required by day 30 was 4 for RBCs (range 0-22) and 9.5 for platelets (0-53). Multivariate analysis showed that related peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) required a significantly lower RBC transfusion volume by day 30 compared to unrelated bone marrow transplantation (UBMT). PBSCT from haplo-identical related donors and cord blood transplantation (CBT) required a significantly greater RBC transfusion volume. For platelet transfusion, related and unrelated PBSCT required a significantly lower volume than UBMT, and CBT a greater volume. Other factors independently associated with greater RBC transfusion volume were male sex, disease status other than complete remission, and major ABO mismatch. For platelet transfusion, these were male sex, disease status, and HCT-specific comorbidity index of 1. Although the burden of blood transfusions may not be the most important factor when choosing a donor type, our findings may provide a foundation for nationwide strategies to prepare blood products and inform aspects of national healthcare expenditures.

Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic recovery after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is rare in patients who receive myeloablative conditioning (MAC). Autologous hematopoietic recovery suggests graft rejection, leading to concerns about subsequent disease relapse. We herein report a rare case of a patient with acute leukemia who experienced autologous hematopoietic recovery after cord blood transplantation (CBT) with total body irradiation-based MAC. Chromosomal abnormalities were repeatedly detected without any disease relapse for eight months. The accumulation of similar cases is required to accurately assess the incidence and clinical outcomes of autologous hematopoietic recovery after CBT with MAC.

Abstract
Optimal cord blood (CB) unit selection is critical to maximize the likelihood of successful engraftment and survival after CB transplantation (CBT). However, unit selection can be complex because multiple characteristics must be considered including unit cell dose, donor-recipient human leukocyte antigen (HLA) match, and unit quality. This review provides evidence-based and experience-based comprehensive guidelines for CB unit selection. Topics addressed include the use of both the TNC and the CD34+ cell dose, as well as the CD34+ cell to TNC content ratio to evaluate unit progenitor cell content and engraftment potential, the acceptable TNC and CD34+ cell dose criteria that define an adequate single-unit graft, and the indication and acceptable cell dose criteria for double-unit grafts. The acceptable criteria for 6-loci (HLA-A, -B antigen, -DRB1 allele) and 8-allele (HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1) donor-recipient HLA match, the evaluation of patients with donor-specific HLA antibodies, and the multiple determinants of unit quality are also reviewed in detail. Finally, a practical step-by-step guide to CB searches and the principles that guide ultimate graft selection are outlined.

Abstract
Cord blood (CB) has been an alternative stem cell source for patients with a wide variety of hematological diseases. Cord blood confers the advantages of rapid availability and higher tolerance to two HLA antigen mismatches compared with unrelated donors, and this has increased opportunities for patients who do not have suitable donors or require urgent transplantation. Although the higher rate of engraftment failure remains a serious concern after cord blood transplantation (CBT), the mechanisms underlying this risk have gradually been clarified, which has helped to improve engraftment. Recent studies of CBT and other alternatives have reported comparable outcomes. Moreover, CBT shows promise even when patients are in a non-remission status, which may reflect the potent graft-versus-leukemia effect of CB. Here we compare the most recent outcomes of CBT with those of other stem cell sources and discuss the potential of CB and several outstanding issues that require resolution.

Abstract
Umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) is often associated with delayed neutrophil and platelet recovery. Engraftment failure is another major obstacle. Several factors influence these serious complications, including the numbers of total nucleated cells (TNCs) and CD34+ cells which have been used as reliable factors for selecting UCB units for transplantation. However, whether both factors are reliable indices of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity of UCB units remains unknown. To evaluate the quality of UCB units, we quantified the actual number of transplantable CD34+CD133+ HSCs (tHSCs) residing in UCB units. The number of tHSCs was not correlated with the numbers of TNCs or CD34+ cells. These results strongly suggest that neither factor reflects the numbers of tHSCs residing in UCB units. To validate the significance of the number of tHSCs, further analysis is required to determine whether the number of tHSCs residing in UCB units is useful as a new indicator for the quality assessment of UCB units.

Takami A. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia. Int J Hematol 2018; 107:513-518.

Abstract
Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) yields a high rate of curability for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), it is also associated with transplant-related morbidity and mortality (TRM). The risk and severity of TRM increase with the use of an alternative donor graft in the absence of an HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD). With the declining birthrate and aging of the population, the numbers of patients with an MSD are decreasing, and alternative donor transplants, including the post-transplant cyclophosphamide method using haplo-identical donors, are increasing. Autologous (auto)-HSCT, which enables the intensification of chemotherapy, has the advantage of high availability of a transplant graft, and is associated with a lower TRM, but these benefits may be offset by a higher rate of relapse due to the lack of a graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. Although allo-HSCT remains the first-line treatment for poor and very-poor-risk patients, auto-HSCT is again gaining increased attention. It has also recently been suggested that cord blood grafts may induce a stronger GVL effect than other grafts; as such, the positioning of cord blood transplantation should also be reconsidered for AML patients.

Abstract
To assess the impact of minimal residual disease (MRD) and tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) administration on allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for Ph-positive ALL (Ph+ALL), we retrospectively analyzed data from a registry database for 432 adult Ph+ALL patients in first CR (CR1) who received pre-transplant TKI administration. Negative MRD (MRD(-)) at allo-HCT was achieved in 277 patients. OS in patients transplanted in MRD(-) was significantly better than that in patients transplanted in MRD(+) (MRD(-): 67% vs MRD(+): 55% at 4 years; P=0.001). MRD(-) at allo-HCT was a significant risk factor for survival along with age at allo-HCT in multivariate analyses. Incidence of relapse in patients transplanted in MRD(-) was significantly lower than that in patients transplanted in MRD(+) (MRD(-): 19% vs MRD(+): 29% at 4 years; P=0.006). In multivariate analyses, MRD(+) at allo-HCT was a significant risk factor for relapse. A post-transplant TKI was administered to 103 patients. In subanalyses regarding the effect of post-transplant TKI administration, post-transplant TKI administration was a significant risk factor for relapse in multivariate analyses (P<0.0001). MRD status at allo-HCT is one of the most important predictive factors for Ph+ALL patients transplanted in CR1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to clarify the impact of the donor source of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) on Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia [Ph(-) ALL] with focus on cord blood (CB). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data of 1726 patients who underwent myeloablative allo-SCT for adult Ph(-) ALL. The sources of the allo-SCT were related donors (RD; N = 684), unrelated donors (URD; N = 809), and CB (N = 233). RESULTS Overall survival (OS) in patients after CB allo-SCT in first complete remission (CR1) was comparable with that after RD or URD allo-SCT (RD: 65%, URD: 64% and CB: 57% at 4 years, P = 0.11). CB was not a significant risk factor for relapse or non-relapse mortality as well as for OS in multivariate analyses. Similarly, the donor source was not a significant risk factor for OS in subsequent CR or non-CR (RD: 47%, URD: 39% and CB: 48% in subsequent CR, P = 0.33; RD: 15%, URD: 21% and CB: 18% in non-CR, P = 0.20 at 4 years). CONCLUSION Allo-SCT using CB led to OS similar to those of RD or URD in any disease status. To avoid missing the appropriate timing, CB is a favorable alternative source for adult Ph(-) ALL patients without a suitable RD or URD.

Abstract
Donor-recipient human leukocyte antigen mismatch level affects the outcome of unrelated cord blood (CB) transplantation. To identify possible "permissive" mismatches, we examined the relationship between direction of human leukocyte antigen mismatch ("vector") and transplantation outcomes in 1202 recipients of single CB units from the New York Blood Center National Cord Blood Program treated in United States Centers from 1993-2006. Altogether, 98 donor/patient pairs had only unidirectional mismatches: 58 in the graft-versus-host (GVH) direction only (GVH-O) and 40 in the host-versus-graft or rejection direction only (R-O). Engraftment was faster in patients with GVH-O mismatches compared with those with 1 bidirectional mismatch (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.6, P = .003). In addition, patients with hematologic malignancies given GVH-O grafts had lower transplantation-related mortality (HR = 0.5, P = .062), overall mortality (HR = 0.5, P = .019), and treatment failure (HR = 0.5, P = .016), resulting in outcomes similar to those of matched CB grafts. In contrast, R-O mismatches had slower engraftment, higher graft failure, and higher relapse rates (HR = 2.4, P = .010). Based on our findings, CB search algorithms should be modified to identify unidirectional mismatches. We recommend that transplant centers give priority to GVH-O-mismatched units over other mismatches and avoid selecting R-O mismatches, if possible.

Abstract
T regulatory cells are fundamental in the maintenance of immune homeostasis and self-tolerance. Experimental models suggest the existence of two functional types of T(reg) cells designated naturally occurring and induced. Interest in T(reg) cells increased with evidence from experimental mouse and human models demonstrating that the immunosuppressive potential of these cells can be utilized in the treatment of various pathological conditions. The existence of a subpopulation of suppressive T cells was the subject of significant controversy among immunologists for many years. T regulatory cells limit immune activation through a variety of direct and indirect interactions, many of which are yet to be determined. Fully understanding T(reg) cells biology will lead us to harnessing the capacity of these cells in order to develop strategies to prevent autoimmune disorders and tolerance to transplantation. Efficient isolation, expansion and cryopreservation strategies that comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines are prerequisites for the clinical application of human CD4+ CD25+ CD127(low) FOXP3+ regulatory T cells.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients have substantial transfusion requirements. Factors associated with increased transfusions and the extent of blood product use in umbilical cord blood (UCB) recipients are uncertain. We reviewed blood product use in 229 consecutive adult recipients of allogeneic HCT at the University of Minnesota: 147 with leukemia, 82 lymphoma or myeloma; 58% received unrelated UCB and 43% sibling donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts. Although neutrophil recovery was prompt (UCB median 17, range: 2-45 days, and PBSC 14, range: 3-34 days), only 135 of 229 (59% cumulative incidence) achieved red blood cell (RBC) independence and 157 (69%) achieved platelet independence by 6 months. Time to platelet independence was prolonged in UCB recipients (median UCB 41 versus PBSC 14 days) and in patients who had received a prior transplant (median 48 versus 32 days). Patients who received UCB grafts required more RBC through day 60 post-HCT (mean UCB 7.8 (95% confidence interval [CI] 6.7-8.9) versus PBSC 5.2 (3.7-6.7) transfusions, P = .04), and more platelet transfusions (mean 25.2 (95% CI 22.1-28.2) versus 12.9 (9.4-16.4), P < .01) compared to PBSC recipients. Patients receiving myeloablative (MA) conditioning required more RBC and platelet transfusions during the first 2 months post-HCT compared to reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) (7.4 versus 6.2, P = .30 for RBC; 23.2 versus 17.5, P = .07 for platelets). Despite prompt neutrophil engraftment, UCB recipients had delayed platelet recovery as well as more prolonged and costly blood product requirements. Enhanced approaches to accelerate multilineage engraftment could limit the transfusion-associated morbidity and costs accompanying UCB allotransplantation.

Abstract
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a source of primitive hematopoietic stem (HSC) and progenitor cells, that served as an alternative to bone marrow (BM) for effective transplantation therapy. Success of HSC transplantation (HSCT) is limited in part by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), graft rejection and delayed immune reconstitution, which all relate to immunological complications. GVHD after UCB transplantation is lower compared to that of BM HSCT. This may relate to the tolerogenic nature of T cells, mononuclear cells (MNCs) and especially immune regulatory cells existing in UCB. UCB contains limiting numbers of HSC or CD34(+) cell dose for adult patients resulting in delayed engraftment after UCB transplantation (UCBT). This needs to be improved for optimal transplantation outcomes. Approaches have been undertaken to promote HSC engraftment, including co-infusion of multiple units of UCB cells. These new methods however added additional immunological complications. Herein, we describe current knowledge on features of UCB immune cells, including regulatory T cells (Tregs) and mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and their potential future usage to reduce GVHD.

Abstract
Abstract
Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has recently been applied to patients with myelofibrosis with reproducible engraftment and resolution of marrow fibrosis, no data describe the outcomes of umbilical cord blood transplantation. We describe 14 patients with primary (n = 1) and secondary myelofibrosis (n = 13) who underwent reduced-intensity umbilical cord blood transplantation. Conditioning regimens included fludarabine and graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis composed cyclosporine/tacrolimus alone (n = 6) or a combination of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (n = 8). Thirteen patients achieved neutrophil engraftment at a median of 23 days. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet engraftment was 92.9% at day 60 and 42.9% at day 100, respectively. Posttransplantation chimerism analysis showed full donor type in all patients at a median of 14 days. The use of umbilical cord blood could be feasible even for patients with severe marrow fibrosis, from the viewpoint of donor cell engraftment.

Abstract
Umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) is widely accepted, but one critical issue for adult patients is a low engraftment rate, of which one cause is haemophagocytic syndrome (HPS). We aimed to identify the contribution of HPS to engraftment failure after CBT, following preparative regimens containing fludarabine phosphate, in 119 patients (median age, 55 years; range; 17-69 years) with haematological diseases. Graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis comprised continuous infusion of a calcineurin inhibitor with or without mycophenolate mofetil. Of the 119 patients, 20 developed HPS within a median of 15 d (cumulative incidence; 16.8%) and 17 of them did so before engraftment. Donor-dominant chimaerism was confirmed in 16 of 18 evaluable patients with HPS. Despite aggressive interventions including corticosteroid, ciclosporin, high-dose immunoglobulin and/or etoposide, engraftment failed in 14 of 18 patients. Of these 14 patients, four received second rescue transplantation and all resulted in successful engraftment. Overall survival rates significantly differed between patients with and without HPS (15.0% vs. 35.4%; P < 0.01). Univariate and multivariate analysis identified having fewer infused CD34(+) cells as a significant risk factor for the development of HPS (P = 0.01 and 0.006, respectively). We concluded that engraftment failure closely correlated with HPS in our cohort, which negatively impacted overall survival after CBT.
