Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) can cure patients with otherwise fatal leukemias and lymphomas. However, the benefits of aHSCT are limited by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Minnelide, a water-soluble analog of triptolide, has demonstrated potent antiinflammatory and antitumor activity in several preclinical models and has proven both safe and efficacious in clinical trials for advanced gastrointestinal malignancies. Here, we tested the effectiveness of Minnelide in preventing acute GVHD as compared with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). Strikingly, we found Minnelide improved survival, weight loss, and clinical scores in an MHC-mismatched model of aHSCT. These benefits were also apparent in minor MHC-matched aHSCT and xenogeneic HSCT models. Minnelide was comparable to PTCy in terms of survival, GVHD clinical score, and colonic length. Notably, in addition to decreased donor T cell infiltration early after aHSCT, several regulatory cell populations, including Tregs, ILC2s, and myeloid-derived stem cells in the colon were increased, which together may account for Minnelide's GVHD suppression after aHSCT. Importantly, Minnelide's GVHD prevention was accompanied by preservation of graft-versus-tumor activity. As Minnelide possesses anti-acute myeloid leukemia (anti-AML) activity and is being applied in clinical trials, together with the present findings, we conclude that this compound might provide a new approach for patients with AML undergoing aHSCT.

Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) has been a standard of care treatment for eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Guidelines generally recommend hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) harvest for two potential HCT. There is a paucity of data reporting use of such collections in the era of novel approved therapies. In this single-center retrospective study, our goal was to determine the HPC utilization rate and costs associated with leukocytapheresis, collection, storage, and disposal to guide future HPC collection planning. We included 613 patients with MM who underwent HPC collection over a nine-year period. The patients were separated into four groups based on HPC utilization: 1) patients who never proceeded to HCT, or Harvest and Hold (14.8 %), 2) patients who proceeded to one HCT with banked HPC remaining (76.8 %), 3) patients who proceeded to one HCT without HPC remaining (5.1 %), and 4) patients who proceeded to two HCTs (3.3 %). After collection, 73.9 % of patients underwent HCT within 30 days. Of patients with banked HPC, defined as not undergoing HCT within 30 days of leukocytapheresis, the overall utilization rate was 14.9 %. At 2- and 5-years post HPC collection, utilization rate was 10.4 % and 11.5 %, respectively. In conclusion, our results suggest very low utilization of stored HPC, raising into question the current HPC collection targets. Given advances in MM therapy, as well as significant costs associated with harvest and storage, collection for unplanned future use warrants reconsideration. As a result of our analysis, our institution has reduced our HPC collection targets.

Abstract
High-dose melphalan-based autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) remains a standard of care for plasma cell disorders (PCDs). Currently, there is variability in the literature surrounding the timing of melphalan administration to avoid potential cytotoxic effects, although the administration has been safely proposed when given at least 8 hours prior to stem cell infusion. The objectives of this study were to assess differences in safety and efficacy outcomes between day -1 and day -2 single-dose melphalan administration in patients undergoing ASCT for PCDs. A retrospective chart review was performed at our institution comparing patients receiving melphalan on day -1 to an equal number of patients receiving melphalan on day -2. The primary endpoint was time to neutrophil engraftment from stem cell infusion. Univariate analyses were performed. Mean time to neutrophil engraftment from stem cell infusion was identical at 10.7 days for both cohorts (p = 0.88). Mean time to platelet engraftment from stem cell infusion was shorter with day -1 administration (17.4 vs. 18.6 days, p = 0.06). Mean time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment from melphalan infusion were significantly shorter with day -1 administration. Similar outcomes were observed for length of hospitalization, infection- and mucositis-related toxicities, hematologic response, transplant-related mortality, and overall survival. Our findings show no difference in time to neutrophil engraftment from stem cell infusion and a trend toward shorter time to platelet engraftment with day -1 administration. Based on our study, day -1 melphalan administration is an acceptable and safe practice.

Abstract
T cell-mediated hyperinflammatory responses, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), are now well-established toxicities of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. As the field of CAR T cells advances, however, there is increasing recognition that hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)-like toxicities following CAR T cell infusion are occurring broadly across patient populations and CAR T cell constructs. Importantly, these HLH-like toxicities are often not as directly associated with CRS and/or its severity as initially described. This emergent toxicity, however ill-defined, is associated with life-threatening complications, creating an urgent need for improved identification and optimal management. With the goal of improving patient outcomes and formulating a framework to characterize and study this HLH-like syndrome, we established an American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy panel composed of experts in primary and secondary HLH, pediatric and adult HLH, infectious disease, rheumatology and hematology, oncology, and cellular therapy. Through this effort, we provide an overview of the underlying biology of classical primary and secondary HLH, explore its relationship with similar manifestations following CAR T cell infusions, and propose the term "immune effector cell-associated HLH-like syndrome (IEC-HS)" to describe this emergent toxicity. We also delineate a framework for identifying IEC-HS and put forward a grading schema that can be used to assess severity and facilitate cross-trial comparisons. Additionally, given the critical need to optimize outcomes for patients experiencing IEC-HS, we provide insight into potential treatment approaches and strategies to optimize supportive care and delineate alternate etiologies that should be considered in a patient presenting with IEC-HS. By collectively defining IEC-HS as a hyperinflammatory toxicity, we can now embark on further study of the pathophysiology underlying this toxicity profile and make strides toward a more comprehensive assessment and treatment approach.

Abstract
The present studies examined experimental transplant outcomes using mobilized peripheral blood from mice and humans together with FoxP3+Treg cells. Donor mice were treated with filgrastim and / or plerixafor and their peripheral blood (PB) displayed significant elevations in hematopoietic stem and progenitor populations. Some of these PB donors were concurrently administered a Treg expansion strategy consisting of a TL1A-Ig fusion protein low dose rIL-2. A significant increase (4-5x) in the frequency Tregs occurred during mobilization. C3H.SW PB was collected from mobilized and Treg unexpanded ("TrUM") or mobilized and Treg expanded ("TrEM") donors and transplanted into MHC-matched B6 (H2b) recipients. Recipients of TrEM, exhibited significantly reduced weight loss and clinical GVHD scores compared to recipients of TrUM. Notably, recipients of TrEM exhibited comparable GVL activity to TrUM recipients against leukemia levels. Next, huTregs (CD4+CD25+CD127lo) from a healthy human PB mobilized donor were expanded ex-vivo prior to transplant into NSG/ NOD-scid IL2Rgammanull mice. We found that treatment with ex-vivo expanded huTregs resulted in significant reduction of lethality and clinical xGVHD scores. Notably, post-transplant, PB huTregs levels remained elevated and the frequency of huCD4+Tconv and CD8+ cells was diminished supporting the improved xGVHD outcomes. These findings demonstrated that the use of mPB containing elevated Treg levels significantly reduced GVHD following "MUD" and MHC-mismatched mouse HSCT without loss of GVL activity. Moreover, utilizing ex-vivo expanded huTregs from a mobilized PB donor and added back to donor PB ameliorated xGVHD. In total, these studies support the notion that in vivo or ex-vivo manipulation of donor Tregs together with mobilized peripheral blood could provide therapeutic approaches to improve aHSCT outcomes.

Abstract
As the number and type of regulatory authority-approved cellular therapies grow, clinical treatment centers face a heavy burden of duplicative documentation around initial qualification, ongoing auditing, and reporting, with overlapping requirements from each manufacturer to ensure safe use of their specific product, which in the United States are stipulated under individual Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Biologic License Applications. The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) convened the 80/20 Task Force to consider challenges and potential solutions to these issues. The Task Force proposed that 80% of manufacturers' requirements for onboarding and ongoing operations of commercially available products could be standardized and streamlined. Task Force members interviewed dozens of stakeholders, including clinicians at large academic medical centers already using commercial and investigational immune effector cell (IEC) products, regulators, members of accrediting bodies and professional cellular therapy societies, and manufacturers of IEC therapies for oncologic indications. In November 2021, the Task Force organized and led virtual discussions in a public forum and at a private ASTCT 80/20 Workshop at the online AcCELLerate Forum, a cellular-therapy stakeholders' meeting organized by the ASTCT, National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), and Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR). At the workshop, approximately 60 stakeholders worked to identify and prioritize common challenges in onboarding and maintenance of operations at clinical sites for commercial FDA-approved and future IEC therapies and ways to streamline the process. It was agreed that standardization would improve efficiency of onboarding, allowing more cost-effective, sustainable growth of approved IEC therapies at treatment centers, and facilitate wider access while maintaining safety and clinical success. This early but extensive survey of stakeholders resulted in 5 overarching suggestions for both established and emerging treatment centers: (1) eliminate duplication in accreditation and auditing of clinical sites; (2) define expectations for the education about and management of CAR-T therapy toxicities to potentially replace product-specific REMS programs; (3) streamline current REMS education, testing, and data reporting; (4) standardize information technology (IT) platforms supporting enrollment, clinical site-manufacturer communication, and logistics of maintaining chain of identity/chain of custody across multiple transportation steps; and (5) encourage the use of universal nomenclature by cell therapy manufacturers. Future discussions need to engage a broader range of stakeholders, including administrators, pharmacists, nurses, data coordinators, surgeons, pathologists, and those developing promising cellular therapies for solid tumors, as well as teams from smaller academic or community cancer center settings. Continued collaboration with stakeholders outside of clinical sites will include accrediting bodies/auditors, established and emerging cell therapy companies, software developers, professional societies, and the patients who receive these therapies. Active dialog with government regulators remains essential. Such joint efforts are critical as the number of IEC therapies for myriad oncologic and nononcologic indications grows.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal number of doses as well as the role for measurement of postvaccination titers after measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccination in adult hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients remains unknown. METHODS In the present study, we assessed humoral immunity against measles, mumps and rubella before and after MMR vaccination in 187 adults who received at least one dose of the MMR vaccine after HCT. RESULTS Among those with baseline titers, posttransplant prevaccination seroprotection rates were 56%, 30%, and 54% for measles, mumps, and rubella, respectively; and significantly lower in allogeneic versus autologous HCT recipients for measles (39% vs. 80%, p = .0001), mumps (22% vs. 41%; p = .02) and rubella (48% vs. 62%, p = .12). Among those who were seronegative at baseline, seroconversion rates after one dose of MMR were 69%, 56%, and 97% for measles, mumps, and rubella, respectively. Seronegative patients after one dose of MMR (i.e., nonresponders) seroconverted for measles and mumps after a second MMR vaccine dose. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate successful restoration of protective immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella after vaccination in adult HCT recipients; one dose of MMR elicited protective titers in the majority of patients, and a second vaccine dose was immunogenic in nonresponders.

Abstract
The use of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis has resulted in reductions in GVHD and improved outcomes in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using HLA-mismatched related donors. We report the 3-year outcomes of the first multicenter prospective clinical trial using PTCy in the setting of mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) bone marrow HCT. The study enrolled 80 patients, treated with either myeloablative conditioning (MAC; n = 40) or reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC; n = 40), with the primary endpoint of 1-year overall survival (OS). The median follow-up for this study was 34 months (range, 12 to 46 months) in the RIC group and 36 months (range, 18 to 49 months) in the MAC group. Three-year OS and nonrelapse mortality were 70% and 15%, respectively, in the RIC group and 62% and 10% in the MAC group. No GVHD was reported after 1 year. The incidence of relapse was 29% in the RIC group and 51% in the MAC group. OS did not differ based on HLA match grade (63% in the 7/8 strata and 71% in the 4 to 6/8 strata). These encouraging outcomes, which were sustained for 3 years post-HCT, support the continued exploration of MMUD HCT using a PTCy platform. Important future areas to address include relapse reduction and furthering our understanding of optimal donor selection based on HLA and non-HLA factors.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) can potentially salvage large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) patients experiencing treatment failure after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T). Nonetheless, data on the efficacy and toxicities of alloHCT after receipt of CAR T are limited. We report a multicenter retrospective study assessing the safety, toxicities, and outcomes of alloHCT in LBCL patients following CAR T failure. Eighty-eight patients with relapsed, refractory LBCL received an alloHCT following anti-CD19 CAR T failure. The median number of lines of therapy between CAR T infusion and alloHCT was one (range, 0-7). Low intensity conditioning was used in 77% (n=68) and peripheral blood was the most common graft source (86%, n=76). The most common donor types were matched unrelated donor (39%), followed by haploidentical (30%) and matched related donor (26%). Median follow-up of survivors was 15 months (range, 1-72). One-year overall survival, progression-free survival, and graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival were 59%, 45%, and 39% respectively. One-year non-relapse mortality and progression/relapse were 22% and 33% respectively. On multivariate analysis, <2 lines of intervening therapy between CAR T and alloHCT and complete response at time of alloHCT were associated with better outcomes. In conclusion, alloHCT after CAR T failure can provide durable remissions in a subset of patients.

Abstract
Co-occurrent KRAS and TP53 mutations define a majority of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and define its pro-metastatic proclivity. Here, we demonstrate that KRAS-TP53 co-alteration is associated with worse survival compared with either KRAS-alone or TP53-alone altered PDAC in 245 patients with metastatic disease treated at a tertiary referral cancer center, and validate this observation in two independent molecularly annotated datasets. Compared with non-TP53 mutated KRAS-altered tumors, KRAS-TP53 co-alteration engenders disproportionately innate immune-enriched and CD8+ T-cell-excluded immune signatures. Leveraging in silico, in vitro, and in vivo models of human and murine PDAC, we discover a novel intersection between KRAS-TP53 co-altered transcriptomes, TP63-defined squamous trans-differentiation, and myeloid-cell migration into the tumor microenvironment. Comparison of single-cell transcriptomes between KRAS-TP53 co-altered and KRAS-altered/TP53WT tumors revealed cancer cell-autonomous transcriptional programs that orchestrate innate immune trafficking and function. Moreover, we uncover granulocyte-derived inflammasome activation and TNF signaling as putative paracrine mediators of innate immunoregulatory transcriptional programs in KRAS-TP53 co-altered PDAC. Immune subtyping of KRAS-TP53 co-altered PDAC reveals conflation of intratumor heterogeneity with progenitor-like stemness properties. Coalescing these distinct molecular characteristics into a KRAS-TP53 co-altered "immunoregulatory program" predicts chemoresistance in metastatic PDAC patients enrolled in the COMPASS trial, as well as worse overall survival.

Abstract
The use of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in recipients of haploidentical and fully matched transplantations is on the increase. Published studies have reported an increased incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection with the use of PTCy. Limited data exist on the incidence and outcomes of infection with non-CMV herpesviruses (NCHV) in this setting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cumulative incidence of NCHV infections and the association of NCHV infections with transplantation-specific outcomes in recipients of haploidentical transplantation with PTCy (HaploCy), matched sibling donor transplantation with PTCy (SibCy), and matched sibling donor transplantation with calcineurin inhibitor-based prophylaxis (SibCNI). We hypothesized that, like CMV infection, HaploCy recipients of also will have a higher risk of NCHV infections. Using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplantation Research database, we analyzed 2765 patients (HaploCy, n = 757; SibCNI, n = 1605; SibCy, n = 403) who had undergone their first hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) between 2012 and 2017 for acute myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome. The cumulative incidence of NCHV at 6 months post-NCT was 13.9% (99% confidence interval], 10.8% to 17.3%) in the HaploCy group, 10.7% (99% CI, 7.1% to 15%) in the SibCy group, and 5.7% (99% CI, 4.3% to 7.3%) in the Sib CNI group (P < .001). This was due primarily to a higher frequency of human herpesvirus 6 viremia reported in patients receiving PTCy. The incidence of Epstein-Barr viremia was low in all groups, and no cases of post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder were seen in either PTCy group. The incidence of NCHV organ disease was low in all 3 cohorts. The development of NCHV infection was associated with increased treatment-related mortality, particularly in the HaploCy group. There was no association with the development of GVHD, relapse, or disease-free survival. Patients in PTCy cohorts who did not develop NCHV infection had lower rates of cGVHD. This study demonstrates that the use of PTCy is associated with an increased risk of NCHV infection. The development of NCHV infection was associated with increased nonrelapse mortality, especially in the HaploCy group. Prospective trials should consider viral surveillance strategies in conjunction with assessment of immune reconstitution for a better understanding of the clinical relevance of viral reactivation in different HCT settings.

Abstract
The use of haploidentical or HLA-mismatched unrelated donors (MMUD) allows allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in individuals without suitable matched donors. Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is used routinely for prevention of graft-versus-host disease in recipients of haploidentical transplants, and its use has been recently explored in MMUD transplantation. We compared the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation and rate of lymphocyte recovery between PTCy MMUD and alternative transplantation modalities. Single-center retrospective study of 22 consecutive PTCy MMUD recipients transplanted between April 2017 and January 2019. Patients undergoing anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) MMUD (n = 37) and PTCy haploidentical transplantation (n = 19) between January 2015 and July 2018 served as historical controls. We assessed the incidence of CMV (any viremia) and clinically significant CMV reactivation (cs-CMVi; defined as CMV disease or CMV viremia leading to preemptive treatment) in these 3 groups. Immune reconstitution was assessed by absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) at days 30, 90, 180, and 360 after transplantation. Statistical analyses included Kaplan-Meier plots with a log-rank test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Fisher's exact test where appropriate, and logistic regression analyses. For PTCy MMUD, PTCy haploidentical and ATG MMUD groups, the 100-day and 200-day incidence of CMV (any viremia) were 41%, 63%, and 77% (P = .02), and 64%, 68%, and 86% (P = .049), respectively. The rate of cs-CMVi was also lower in PTCy MMUD compared to PTCy haploidentical and ATG MMUD (14% versus 53% and 54% at day 100 [P = .01] and 25% versus 53% and 58% at day 200 [P = .03]). There was a trend toward lower 200-day incidence of cs-CMVi in PTCy MMUD compared to ATG MMUD, even after excluding letermovir-treated patients from the analysis (25% versus 58% [P = .06]). The association between PTCy MMUD and lower risk of cs-CMVi remained significant even after adjusting for letermovir prophylaxis (odds ratio = 0.23, 95% confidence interval, 0.07-0.81 [P = .02]). Day 30 ALC was lower in PTCy MMUD compared to PTCy haploidentical and ATG MMUD (0.14, 0.33, 0.44 × 109/L, respectively [P = .005) but similar across groups at other time points. PTCy MMUD transplantation was associated with lower incidence of CMV events, independent of the use of CMV prophylaxis. Larger studies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenovirus (AdV) is a serious infection following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Little is known about AdV viral kinetics and optimal threshold for initiation of pre-emptive therapy. METHODS Single-center retrospective study of 16 consecutive adult HCT recipients with detectable AdV identified over a 5-year period. RESULTS Median time to AdV reactivation after HCT was 176 days (IQR 86-408). Nine patients received cidofovir, although 14/16 had no tissue-invasive disease. Among treated patients, median duration of viremia was shorter when initiating treatment at viral loads < 10,000 copies/ml (28 vs. 52 days). All-cause mortality in this cohort was 44%. All six patients (five of which were untreated) with peak viral loads < 10,000 copies/ml survived; whereas only 30% (3/10) of patients with peak viral loads greater than this threshold survived, despite most (n = 8; 80%) of them receiving cidofovir (P = .01). Three-month survival following diagnosis of AdV viremia was significantly lower with peak viremia > 10,000 copies/ml (100 vs. 17%; P = .005). CONCLUSION AdV is associated with high all-cause mortality, especially for viremia > 10,000 copies/ml. Delaying therapy until viremia reaches AdV levels ≥10,000 copies/ml was associated with more protracted infection and poor outcomes. Larger studies are needed.

Abstract
Problem The utility of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cycle threshold (Ct) values in the management of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) remains controversial. Methods We assessed the correlation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) Ct values in nasopharyngeal swab samples with the oxygen requirements at the time of sample collection. Specimens were tested with the Simplexa PCR platform, which targets the SARS‐CoV‐2 ORF1ab and S genes. Results We identified 23 COVID‐19 patients with 49 Ct values available. While Ct values from ORF1ab and S genes were highly correlated for a given specimen, there was no correlation between Ct values for any of these target genes and the oxygen requirements of the patient at the time of sample collection. We found no differences in the initial nor the nadir Ct values between survivors and non‐survivors or mild/moderate versus severe/critical illness at the maximum point of illness. Conclusion SARS‐CoV‐2 Ct values have limited value in the management of COVID‐19.

Abstract
The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway has been proposed as a key regulator of gastrointestinal homeostasis and inflammatory responses. Although STING reportedly protects against gut barrier damage and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mismatched allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT), its effect in clinically relevant MHC-matched aHSCT is unknown. Studies here demonstrate that STING signaling in nonhematopoietic cells promoted MHC-matched aHSCT-induced GVHD and that STING agonists increased type I interferon and MHC I expression in nonhematopoietic mouse intestinal organoid cultures. Moreover, mice expressing a human STING allele containing three single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with decreased STING activity also developed reduced MHC-matched GVHD, demonstrating STING's potential clinical importance. STING-/- recipients experienced reduced GVHD with transplant of purified donor CD8+ T cells in both MHC-matched and MHC-mismatched models, reconciling the seemingly disparate results. Further examination revealed that STING deficiency reduced the activation of donor CD8+ T cells early after transplant and promoted recipient MHC class II+ antigen-presenting cell (APC) survival. Therefore, APC persistence in STING pathway absence may account for the increased GVHD mediated by CD4+ T cells in completely mismatched recipients. In total, our findings have important implications for regulating clinical GVHD by targeting STING early after aHSCT and demonstrate that an innate immune pathway has opposing effects on the outcome of aHSCT, depending on the donor/recipient MHC disparity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is curative for hematologic disorders, but outcomes are historically inferior when using HLA-mismatched donors. Despite unrelated donor registries listing > 38 million volunteers, 25%-80% of US patients lack an HLA-matched unrelated donor, with significant disparity across ethnic groups. We hypothesized that HCT with a mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), a novel strategy successful in overcoming genetic disparity using mismatched related donors, would be feasible and increase access to HCT. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a prospective phase II study of MMUD bone marrow HCT with PTCy for patients with hematologic malignancies. The primary end point was 1-year overall survival (OS), hypothesized to be 65% or better. 80 patients enrolled at 11 US transplant centers (December 2016-March 2019). Following myeloablative or reduced-intensity conditioning-based HCT, patients received PTCy on days +3, +4, with sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil starting on day +5. We compared outcomes to Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research contemporary controls receiving PTCy. RESULTS Notably, 48% of patients enrolled were ethnic minorities. 39% of pairs were matched for 4-6 out of 8 HLA alleles. The primary end point was met, with 1-year OS of 76% (90% CI, 67.3 to 83.3) in the entire cohort, and 72% and 79% in the myeloablative and reduced-intensity conditioning strata, respectively. Secondary end points related to engraftment and graft-versus-host-disease were reached. Multivariate analysis comparing the study group with other mismatched HCT controls found no significant differences in OS. CONCLUSION Our prospective study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of HCT with an MMUD in the setting of PTCy. Remarkably, nearly half of the study participants belonged to an ethnic minority population, suggesting this approach may significantly expand access to HCT.

Abstract
Community respiratory viral infections (CRVIs) are associated with pulmonary function impairment, alloimmune lung syndromes and inferior survival in human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-matched allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Although the incidence of viral infections in HLA-haploidentical HCT recipients who receive post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis is reportedly increased, there are insufficient data describing the incidence of CRVIs and the impact of donor source and PTCy on transplant outcomes. Analysing patients receiving their first HCT between 2012 and 2017 for acute myeloid leukaemia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndromes, we describe comparative outcomes between matched sibling transplants receiving either calcineurin-based GVHD prophylaxis (SibCNI, N = 1605) or PTCy (SibCy, N = 403), and related haploidentical transplants receiving PTCy (HaploCy, N = 757). The incidence of CRVIs was higher for patients receiving PTCy, regardless of donor type. Patients in the HaploCy cohort who developed a CRVI by day +180 had both a higher risk of treatment-related mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 2⋅14, 99% confidence interval (CI) 1⋅13-4⋅07; P = 0⋅002] and inferior 2-year overall survival (HR 1⋅65, 99% CI 1⋅11-2⋅43; P = 0⋅001) compared to SibCNI with no CRVI. This finding justifies further research into long-term antiviral immune recovery, as well as development of preventive and treatment strategies to improve long-term outcomes in such patients.

Abstract
Prior studies suggest increased cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after haploidentical donor transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (HaploCy). The role of allograft source and posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in CMV infection is unclear. We analyzed the effect of graft source and PTCy on incidence of CMV infection, and effects of serostatus and CMV infection on transplant outcomes. We examined patients reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplantation Research between 2012 and 2017 who had received HaploCy (n = 757), matched related (Sib) with PTCy (SibCy, n = 403), or Sib with calcineurin inhibitor-based prophylaxis (SibCNI, n = 1605). Cumulative incidences of CMV infection by day 180 were 42%, 37%, and 23%, respectively (P < .001). CMV disease was statistically comparable. CMV infection risk was highest for CMV-seropositive recipients (R+), but significantly higher in PTCy recipients regardless of donor (HaploCy [n = 545]: hazard ratio [HR], 50.3; SibCy [n = 279]: HR, 47.7; SibCNI [n = 1065]: HR, 24.4; P < .001). D+/R- patients also had increased risk for CMV infection. Among R+ or those developing CMV infection, HaploCy had worse overall survival and nonrelapse mortality. Relapse was unaffected by CMV infection or serostatus. PTCy was associated with lower chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) overall, but CMV infection in PTCy recipients was associated with higher chronic GVHD (P = .006). PTCy, regardless of donor, is associated with higher incidence of CMV infection, augmenting the risk of seropositivity. Additionally, CMV infection may negate the chronic GVHD protection of PTCy. This study supports aggressive prevention strategies in all receiving PTCy.

Abstract
Background One year into the pandemic, published data on hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) remain limited. Methods Single‐center retrospective cohort study of adult HCT recipients with polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection. Results Twenty‐eight consecutive transplantation and cellular therapy patients (autologous, n = 12; allogeneic, n = 15; chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapy [CAR‐T], n = 1) with COVID‐19 were identified. The median age was 57 years. The median time from HCT to COVID‐19 diagnosis was 656 days (interquartile range [IQR], 33‐1274). Patients were followed for a median of 59 days (IQR, 40‐88). Among assessable patients (n = 19), 10 (53%) had documented virological clearance; median time to clearance was 34 days (range, 21‐56). Out of 28, 12 (43%), 6 (21%), and 10 (36%) patients had mild, moderate, and severe/critical disease, respectively. Overall mortality was 25%, nearly identical for autologous and allogeneic HCT, and exclusively seen in hospitalized patients, older than 50 years of age with severe COVID‐19. None of the patients with mild (n = 12) or moderate (n = 6) COVID‐19 died whereas 7/10 patients (70%) with severe/critical COVID‐19 died (P = .0001). Patients diagnosed with COVID‐19 within 12 months of HCT exhibited higher mortality (57% vs 14%; P = .04). All‐cause 30‐day mortality (n = 4) was 14%. A higher proportion of patients who died within 30 days of COVID‐19 diagnosis (3/4) were receiving ≥2 immunosuppressants, compared with patients who survived beyond 30 days after COVID‐19 diagnosis (2/24; 75% vs. 8%; P = .01). Conclusions Mortality in COVID‐19 HCT patients is higher than that of the age‐comparable general population and largely dependent on age, disease severity, timing from HCT, and intensity of immunosuppression.

Abstract
Corneal transplantation (CT) is the most frequent type of solid organ transplant (SOT) performed worldwide. Unfortunately, immunological rejection is the primary cause of graft failure for CT and therefore advances in immune regulation to induce tolerance remains an unmet medical need. Recently, our work and others in pre-clinical studies found that cyclophosphamide (Cy) administered after (“post-transplant,” PTCy) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), i.e., liquid transplants is effective for graft vs. host disease prophylaxis and enhances overall survival. Importantly, within the past 10 years, PTCy has been widely adopted for clinical HSCT and the results at many centers have been extremely encouraging. The present studies found that Cy can be effectively employed to prolong the survival of SOT, specifically mouse corneal allografts. The results demonstrated that the timing of PTCy administration is critical for these CT and distinct from the kinetics employed following allogeneic HSCT. PTCy was observed to interfere with neovascularization, a process critically associated with immune rejection of corneal tissue that ensues following the loss of ocular “immune privilege.” PTCy has the potential to delete or directly suppress allo-reactive T cells and treatment here was shown to diminish T cell rejection responses. These PTCy doses were observed to spare significant levels of CD4+ FoxP3+ (Tregs) which were found to be functional and could readily receive stimulating signals leading to their in vivo expansion via TNFRSF25 and CD25 agonists. In total, we posit future studies can take advantage of Cy based platforms to generate combinatorial strategies for long-term tolerance induction.

Abstract
Immune effector cell (IEC) therapies offer durable and sustained remissions in significant numbers of patients with hematological cancers. While these unique immunotherapies have improved outcomes for pediatric and adult patients in a number of disease states, as 'living drugs,' their toxicity profiles, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), differ markedly from conventional cancer therapeutics. At the time of article preparation, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved tisagenlecleucel, axicabtagene ciloleucel, and brexucabtagene autoleucel, all of which are IEC therapies based on genetically modified T cells engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), and additional products are expected to reach marketing authorization soon and to enter clinical development in due course. As IEC therapies, especially CAR T cell therapies, enter more widespread clinical use, there is a need for clear, cohesive recommendations on toxicity management, motivating the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) to convene an expert panel to develop a clinical practice guideline. The panel discussed the recognition and management of common toxicities in the context of IEC treatment, including baseline laboratory parameters for monitoring, timing to onset, and pharmacological interventions, ultimately forming evidence- and consensus-based recommendations to assist medical professionals in decision-making and to improve outcomes for patients.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) are at risk for bloodstream infection (BSI) secondary to translocation of bacteria through the injured mucosa, termed mucosal barrier injury-laboratory confirmed bloodstream infection (MBI-LCBI), in addition to BSI secondary to indwelling catheters and infection at other sites (BSI-other). OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence, timing, risk factors, and outcomes of patients who develop MBI-LCBI in the first 100 days after HSCT. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A case-cohort retrospective analysis was performed using data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database on 16 875 consecutive pediatric and adult patients receiving a first allogeneic HSCT from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2016. Patients were classified into 4 categories: MBI-LCBI (1481 [8.8%]), MBI-LCBI and BSI-other (698 [4.1%]), BSI-other only (2928 [17.4%]), and controls with no BSI (11 768 [69.7%]). Statistical analysis was performed from April 5 to July 17, 2018. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Demographic characteristics and outcomes, including overall survival, chronic graft-vs-host disease, and transplant-related mortality (only for patients with malignant disease), were compared among groups. RESULTS Of the 16 875 patients in the study (9737 [57.7%] male; median [range] age, 47 [0.04-82] years) 13 686 (81.1%) underwent HSCT for a malignant neoplasm, and 3189 (18.9%) underwent HSCT for a nonmalignant condition. The cumulative incidence of MBI-LCBI was 13% (99% CI, 12%-13%) by day 100, and the cumulative incidence of BSI-other was 21% (99% CI, 21%-22%) by day 100. Median (range) time from transplant to first MBI-LCBI was 8 (<1 to 98) days vs 29 (<1 to 100) days for BSI-other. Multivariable analysis revealed an increased risk of MBI-LCBI with poor Karnofsky/Lansky performance status (hazard ratio [HR], 1.21 [99% CI, 1.04-1.41]), cord blood grafts (HR, 2.89 [99% CI, 1.97-4.24]), myeloablative conditioning (HR, 1.46 [99% CI, 1.19-1.78]), and posttransplant cyclophosphamide graft-vs-host disease prophylaxis (HR, 1.85 [99% CI, 1.38-2.48]). One-year mortality was significantly higher for patients with MBI-LCBI (HR, 1.81 [99% CI, 1.56-2.12]), BSI-other (HR, 1.81 [99% CI, 1.60-2.06]), and MBI-LCBI plus BSI-other (HR, 2.65 [99% CI, 2.17-3.24]) compared with controls. Infection was more commonly reported as a cause of death for patients with MBI-LCBI (139 of 740 [18.8%]), BSI (251 of 1537 [16.3%]), and MBI-LCBI plus BSI (94 of 435 [21.6%]) than for controls (566 of 4740 [11.9%]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this cohort study, MBI-LCBI, in addition to any BSIs, were associated with significant morbidity and mortality after HSCT. Further investigation into risk reduction should be a clinical and scientific priority in this patient population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The use of haploidentitical or HLA mismatched unrelated donors permits allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in individuals with otherwise no donors available. Post-transplantcyclophosphamide(PTCy) is used for prevention graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) in recipients of mismatched donors. We hypothesized that type and incidence of infectious complications following allogeneic HCT would vary according to the type of transplant.
Methods
We systematically assessed viral kinetics and reactivation rates for cytomegalovirus (CMV) in a prospective cohort of mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) HCT recipients who had PTCy at our center (April 2017–March 2019). In addition, we evaluated the incidence of invasive aspergillosis (IA), invasive candidiasis (IC), bloodstream infection (BSI), pneumonia, Clostridium difficile (CDI), and community-acquired respiratory virus. Haploidentical donor and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) treated MMUD recipients were served as historical control groups.
Results
A total of 81 patients were analyzed in 3 groups (Table 1): PTCy MMUD (group 1; n = 22), ATG MMUD (group 2; n = 40) and haploidentical (group 3; n = 19). Whereas the 1 year incidence of CMV viremia was similar across groups, the rate of clinically significant (requiring preemptive therapy) CMV viremia was lower in group 1, compared with groups 2 and 3 (18 vs 53%; P = 0.02). The 1 year incidence of CDI was 47% in group 3 vs. 18% in groups 1 and 2 (P = 0.01). There was no significant difference in the incidence of IA (5–18%), pneumonia (30–42%), BSI (32–55%) and CARVs (28–53%) between groups. There were no cases of IC in this cohort. 1 year infection attributable mortality was lower in group 1 (figure), compared with groups 2 and 3, (9%, 62% and 39%, respectively; P = 0.005).
Conclusion
Compared with ATG MMUD and haploidentical donor, PTCy MMUD HCT was associated with lower incidence of clinically significant CMV and lower infection attributable mortality. These findings might be related to the contemporary prophylactic strategies used in this patient population. Larger studies are needed.

Abstract
Background The opportunistic parasite Toxoplasma causes life-threatening complications in immunocompromised hosts such as hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is the agent of choice in preventing Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and Toxoplasma, but bone marrow suppression often precludes its use. Broad-spectrum atovaquone also targets protozoan tachyzoite and cyst forms, but few studies examine its efficacy in prophylaxis among this vulnerable population. We present two HCT patients experiencing breakthrough toxoplasmosis despite compliance with atovaquone prophylaxis. Methods Review of literature and electronic medical records. Results Case 1. A 68-year-oldToxoplasma seropositive woman with myelodysplastic syndrome underwent Flu-Mel-ATG-matched unrelated donor HCT. On day +68 post HCT, she presented with encephalopathy. MRI brain revealed solid and ring-enhancing lesions correlating with positive CSF T. gondii PCR. Serum DNA PCR was negative. She received 12 weeks of sulfadiazine, pyrimethamine, and leucovorin with clinical and radiological improvement. Atovaquone prophylaxis was restarted given pancytopenia intolerance of TMP-SMX. Despite compliance, she experienced recurrent central nervous system toxoplasmosis. Her demise followed an unrelated ischemic cerebrovascular accident. Case 2. A 53-year-old Toxoplasma seropositive woman with CMV viremia and severe aplastic anemia limiting TMP-SMX use presented with pancytopenia on day +46 after HCT. Diagnosed with graft failure, routine screening revealed positive Toxoplasma PCR while on atovaquone prophylaxis. Toxoplasma PCR became negative after preemptive therapy. She underwent a second Flu-Cy-ATG-TBI-matched related donor HCT. 2 months later, medication noncompliance led to readmission with CMV viremia and culture-negative sepsis. Blood Toxoplasma PCR was positive at the time of death. Conclusion Toxoplasmosis prophylaxis failure can occur in allogeneic HCT recipients receiving atovaquone. When possible, TMP-SMX should remain first-line agent for this indication. In those unable to tolerate TMP-SMX, close clinical and Toxoplasma PCR monitoring may help identify reactivation and facilitate early initiation of therapy.

Abstract
Axicabtagene ciloleucel (YESCARTA; Kite Pharma, a Gilead Company, Los Angeles CA) and tisagenlecleucel (KYMRIAH; Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp., Basel, Switzerland) are two CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell products currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration; the European Medicines Agency; Health Canada; Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (Japan); and Therapeutic Goods Administration (Australia) for treatment of specific subtypes of relapsed/refractory aggressive B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Although this approval has been transformative in the use of cellular immunotherapy in lymphoma, there are concerns regarding appropriate use of this novel therapy and of short- and long-term toxicities. To address these issues, representatives of the American Society of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy convened to recognize and address key issues surrounding the clinical application of CD19 CAR T cell therapy in B cell lymphomas, in collaboration with worldwide experts. The aim of this article is to provide consensus opinion from experts in the fields of hematopoietic cell transplantation, cellular immunotherapy, and lymphoma regarding key clinical questions pertinent to the use of CD19 CAR T cell products for the treatment of NHL. As the clinical practice using CAR T cells grows worldwide, we anticipate that this guidance will be relevant for hematology/oncology physicians who care for patients with lymphomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiosarcoma is an uncommon endothelial malignancy and a highly aggressive soft tissue sarcoma. Due to its infiltrative nature, successful management of localized angiosarcoma is often challenging. Systemic chemotherapy is used in the metastatic setting and occasionally in patients with high-risk localized disease in neoadjuvant or adjuvant settings. However, responses tend to be short-lived and most patients succumb to metastatic disease. Novel therapies are needed for patients with angiosarcomas. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with locally advanced or metastatic angiosarcoma, who were treated with checkpoint inhibitors at our institution. We collected their clinical information and outcome measurements. In one patient with achieved complete response, we analyzed circulating and infiltrating T cells within peripheral blood and tumor tissue. RESULTS We have treated seven angiosarcoma (AS) patients with checkpoint inhibitors either in the context of clinical trials or off label [Pembrolizumab + Axitinib (NCT02636725; n = 1), AGEN1884, a CTLA-4 inhibitor (NCT02694822; n = 2), Pembrolizumab (n = 4)]. Five patients had cutaneous angiosarcoma, one primary breast angiosarcoma and one radiation-associated breast angiosarcoma. At 12 weeks, 5/7 patients (71%) had partial response of their lesions either on imaging and/or clinical exam and two (29%) had progressive disease. 6/7 patients are alive to date and, thus far, 3/7 patients (43%) have progressed (median 3.4 months)- one achieved partial response after pembrolizumab was switched to ongoing Nivolumab/Ipilimumab, one died of progressive disease at 31 weeks (primary breast angiosarcoma) and one was placed on pazopanib. One patient had a complete response (CR) following extended treatment with monotherapy AGEN1884. No patient experienced any ≥ grade 2 toxicities. CONCLUSIONS This case series underscores the value of targeted immunotherapy in treating angiosarcoma. It also identifies genetic heterogeneity of cutaneous angiosarcomas and discusses specific genetic findings that may explain reported benefits from immunotherapy.

Abstract
Background: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing has emerged as an effective laboratory method for rapid and noninvasive diagnosis in prenatal screening testing, organ transplant rejection screening, and oncology liquid biopsies but clinical experience for use of this technology in diagnostic evaluation of infections in immunocompromised hosts is limited. Methods: We conducted an exploratory study using next-generation sequencing (NGS) for detection of microbial cfDNA in a cohort of ten immunocompromised patients with febrile neutropenia, pneumonia or intra-abdominal infection. Results: Pathogen identification by cfDNA NGS demonstrated positive agreement with conventional diagnostic laboratory methods in 7 (70%) cases, including patients with proven/probable invasive aspergillosis, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia, Cytomegalovirus and Adenovirus viremia. NGS results were discordant in 3 (30%) cases including two patients with culture negative sepsis who had undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant in whom cfDNA testing identified the etiological agent of sepsis; and one kidney transplant recipient with invasive aspergillosis who had received >6 months of antifungal therapy prior to NGS testing. Conclusion: These observations support the clinical utility of measurement of microbial cfDNA sequencing from peripheral blood for rapid noninvasive diagnosis of infections in immunocompromised hosts. Larger studies are needed.

Abstract
Background: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing has emerged as an effective laboratory method for rapid and noninvasive diagnosis in prenatal screening testing, organ transplant rejection screening, and oncology liquid biopsies. Methods: Here we report our experience using next-generation sequencing (NGS) for detection of microbial cfDNA in a cohort of ten immunocompromised patients with febrile neutropenia, pneumonia or intra-abdominal infection. Results: Among five hematological malignancy patients, for whom a microbiological diagnosis was established, pathogen identification by cfDNA NGS demonstrated 100% positive agreement with conventional diagnostic laboratory methods. Further, cfDNA identified the etiological agent in two patients with culture negative sepsis who had undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Conclusion: These data support the clinical utility of measurement of microbial cfDNA sequencing from peripheral blood for rapid noninvasive diagnosis of infections in immunocompromised hosts. Larger studies are needed.
