Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only cure for the hematologic manifestations of Fanconi anemia (FA). We performed retrospective predictor analyses for HCT outcomes in FA for pediatric and young adult patients transplanted between 2007 and 2020 across three large referral institutions. Eighty-nine patients, 70 with bone marrow failure +/- cytogenetic abnormalities, 19 with MDS/AML, were included. Five-year overall survival (OS) was 83.2% and event-free survival (EFS) was 74%. Age ≥19, HLA mismatch and year of HCT were multivariable predictors (MVPs) for OS, EFS and treatment-related mortality (TRM). In the pediatric group, TCD was a borderline MVP (P = 0.059) with 5-year OS of 73.0% in TCD vs. 100% for T-replete HCT. The cumulative incidence of day 100 grade II-IV aGvHD and 5-year cGvHD were 5.6% and 4.6%, respectively. Relapse in the MDS/AML subgroup occurred in 4 patients (16%). Graft failure was seen in 9 patients (TCD 6/37 [16%]; T-replete 3/52 [5.7%]). Six patients developed malignancy after HCT. Survival chances after HCT for FA are excellent and associated with high engrafted survival and low toxicity. Age ≥19, HLA mismatch, year of transplant and 'TCD in the <19 years group' (although borderline) were found to be negative predictors for survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS CD4 immune reconstitution (IR) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) correlates with lower non-relapse mortality (NRM), but its impact on leukemia relapse remains less clear, especially in children. We studied the correlation between IR of lymphocyte subsets and HCT outcomes in a large cohort of children/young adults with hematological malignancies. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed CD4, CD8, B-cell and natural killer (NK) cell reconstitution in patients after first allo-HCT for a hematological malignancy at three large academic institutions (n = 503; period 2008-2019). We used Cox proportional hazard and Fine-Gray competing risk models, martingale residual plots and maximally selected log-rank statistics to assess the impact of IR on outcomes. RESULTS Achieving CD4 >50 and/or B cells >25 cells/μL before day 100 after allo-HCT was a predictor of lower NRM (CD4 IR: hazard ratio [HR] 0.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.11-0.62, P = 0.002; CD4 and B cell IR: HR 0.06, 95% CI 0.03-0.16, P < 0.001), acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (CD4 and B cell IR: HR 0.02, 95% CI 0.01-0.04, P < 0.001) and chronic GVHD (CD4 and B cell IR: HR 0.16, 95% CI 0.05-0.49, P = 0.001) in the full cohort, and of lower risk of relapse (CD4 and B cell IR: HR 0.24, 95% CI 0.06-0.92, P = 0.038) in the acute myeloid leukemia subgroup. No correlation between CD8 and NK-cell IR and relapse or NRM was found. CONCLUSIONS CD4 and B-cell IR was associated with clinically significant lower NRM, GVHD and, in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, disease relapse. CD8 and NK-cell IR was neither associated with relapse nor NRM. If confirmed in other cohorts, these results can be easily implemented for risk stratification and clinical decision making.

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