Abstract
ABSTRACT The absence of a standardized definition for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) flares and data on its clinical course are significant concerns. We retrospectively evaluated 968 patients across 23 Mount Sinai Acute GVHD International Consortium (MAGIC) transplant centers who achieved complete response (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR) within 4 weeks of treatment. The cumulative incidence of flares within 6 months was 22%, and flares were associated with a higher risk of nonrelapse mortality (NRM; adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 4.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.19-7.36; P < .001). Flares were more severe (grades 3/4, 41% vs 16%; P < .001) and had more frequent lower gastrointestinal (LGI) involvement (55% vs 32%; P < .001) than the initial GVHD. At CR/VGPR, elevated MAGIC biomarkers predicted the future occurrence of a flare, along with its severity and LGI involvement. In multivariate analyses, higher Ann Arbor (AA) biomarker scores at CR/VGPR were significant risk factors for flares (AA2 vs AA1: aHR, 1.81 [95% CI, 1.32-2.48; P = .001]; AA3 vs AA1: aHR, 3.14 [95% CI, 1.98-4.98; P < .001]), as were early response to initial treatment (aHR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.21-2.80; P = .004) and HLA-mismatched unrelated donor (aHR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.00-3.02; P = .049). MAGIC biomarkers also stratified the risk of NRM both at CR/VGPR and at the time of flare. We conclude that GVHD flares are common and carry a significant mortality risk. The occurrence of future flares can be predicted by serum biomarkers that may serve to guide adjustment and discontinuation of immunosuppression.

Abstract
Graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) is a major cause of non-relapse mortality (NRM) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Algorithms containing either the GI GVHD biomarker amphiregulin (AREG) or a combination of two GI GVHD biomarkers, (ST2+REG3α) when measured at GVHD diagnosis are validated predictors of NRM risk, but have never been assessed in the same patients using identical statistical methods. We measured serum concentrations of ST2, REG3, and AREG by ELISA at the time of GVHD diagnosis in 715 patients divided by date of transplant into training (2004-2015) and validation (2015-2017) cohorts. The training cohort (n=341) was used to develop algorithms for predicting probability of 12 month NRM that contained all possible combinations of 1-3 biomarkers and a threshold corresponding to the concordance probability was used to stratify patients for risk of NRM. Algorithms were compared to each other based on several metrics including the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), proportion of patients correctly classified, sensitivity, and specificity using only the validation cohort (n=374). All algorithms were strong discriminators of 12 month NRM, whether or not patients were systemically treated (n=321). An algorithm containing only ST2+REG3α had the highest AUC (0.757), correctly classified the most patients (75%), and more accurately risk stratified those who developed Minnesota standard risk GVHD and for patients who received post-transplant cyclophosphamide-based prophylaxis. An algorithm containing only AREG more accurately risk stratified patients with Minnesota high risk GVHD. Combining ST2, REG3α, and AREG into a single algorithm did not improve performance.

Abstract
Data on recent bone marrow harvest collections from the NMDP has shown that bone marrow quality has decreased based on total nucleated cell count in the product. To ensure that quality bone marrow products are available to all recipients, the NMDP Marrow Alliance was formed in April of 2021 to increase the ability for bone marrow collection centers to safely deliver high-quality products consistently and to identify and disseminate guidelines for performing bone marrow harvests. This White Paper describes the best practices of performing a bone marrow harvest as defined by the NMDP Marrow Alliance.

Abstract
The overall response rate (ORR) 28 days after treatment has been adopted as the primary endpoint for clinical trials of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD). However, physicians often need to modify immunosuppression earlier than day (D) 28, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) does not always correlate with ORR at D28. We studied 1144 patients that received systemic treatment for GVHD in the Mount Sinai Acute GVHD International Consortium (MAGIC) and divided them into a training set (n=764) and a validation set (n=380). We used a recursive partitioning algorithm to create a Mount Sinai model that classifies patients into favorable or unfavorable groups that predicted 12 month NRM according to overall GVHD grade at both onset and D14. In the Mount Sinai model grade II GVHD at D14 was unfavorable for grade III/IV GVHD at onset and predicted NRM as well as the D28 standard response model. The MAGIC algorithm probability (MAP) is a validated score that combines the serum concentrations of suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) and regenerating islet-derived 3-alpha (REG3α) to predict NRM. Inclusion of the D14 MAP biomarker score with the D14 Mount Sinai model created three distinct groups (good, intermediate, poor) with strikingly different NRM (8%, 35%, 76% respectively). This D14 MAGIC model displayed better AUC, sensitivity, positive and negative predictive value, and net benefit in decision curve analysis compared to the D28 standard response model. We conclude that this D14 MAGIC model could be useful in therapeutic decisions and may offer an improved endpoint for clinical trials of acute GVHD treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have suggested that acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with incomplete hematologic recovery undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) had inferior overall survival (OS). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This single-center, retrospective study of AML patients evaluated the relationship between red blood cell (RBC) and platelet (PLT) transfusion requirements during the first 30 days and long-term outcomes after allo-HSCT through multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 692 AML patients received peripheral blood stem cells (89.2%), marrow (5.6%), or umbilical cord (5.2%) from matched related (37.4%), unrelated (49.1%), or haploidentical (8.2%) donors in 2011-2017. Transfusion requirements during the first 30 days for RBC (89.5% transfused, median 3, range 1-18 units) or PLT (98.2% transfused, median 6, range 1-144 units) were variable. By Day 30, 56.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 52.8-60.3%) and 86.1% (95% CI: 83.2-88.5%) had achieved RBC and PLT transfusion independence, respectively. Median follow-up among survivors (n = 307) was 7.1 years (range: 2.7-11.8). Lack of RBC transfusion independence by Day 30 was strongly and independently associated with worse 5-year OS (39.2% vs. 59.6%, adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.83, 95% CI: 1.49-2.25), leukemia-free survival (35.8% vs. 55.5%, HR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.43-2.14), and NRM (29.7% vs. 13.7%, HR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.45-2.89) (p < .001). There was no difference in relapse rates among patients who achieved or did not achieve RBC (p = .34) or PLT (p = .64) transfusion independence. CONCLUSION Prolonged RBC dependence predicted worse survival and NRM rates, but not increased relapse. Posttransplant surveillance of such patients should be adjusted with more attention to non-relapse complications.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus (Tac), and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for allogeneic haploidentical donor (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) results in comparable outcomes to matched unrelated donor HCT. A phase II study from the Moffitt Cancer Center substituting sirolimus (Siro) for Tac in this prophylactic regimen reported comparable rates of grade II-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD). Many centers have substituted Siro for Tac in this setting based on a preferable side effect profile, although comparative data are limited. In this study, we retrospectively compared outcomes in haplo-HCT with PTCy/Siro/MMF versus haplo-HCT with PTCy/Tac/MMF. The study cohort included all consecutive patients receiving haploidentical donor T cell-replete peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) HCT for hematologic malignancies at Moffitt Cancer Center or the City of Hope National Medical Center between 2014 and 2019. A total of 423 patients were included, of whom 84 (20%) received PTCy/Siro/MMF and 339 (80%) received PTCy/Tac/MMF. The median age for the entire cohort was 54 years (range, 18 to 78 years), and the median follow-up was 30 months. The Siro group had a higher proportion of patients age ≥60 years (58% versus 34%; P < .01), and the groups also differed in diagnosis type, conditioning regimen, and cytomegalovirus serostatus. There were no significant differences in the rates of grade II-IV aGVHD (45% versus 47%; P = .6) at day +100 or chronic GVHD (cGVHD) (47% versus 54%; P = .79) at 2 years post-HCT. In multivariate analysis, neutrophil engraftment at day +30 was significantly better in the Tac group (odds ratio, .30; 95% confidence interval, .1 to .83; P = .02), with a median time to engraftment of 17 days versus 18 days in the Siro group, but platelet engraftment was similar in the 2 groups. Otherwise, in multivariate analysis, GVHD prophylaxis type had no significant influence on aGVHD or cGVHD, nonrelapse mortality, relapse, GVHD-free relapse-free survival, disease-free survival, or overall survival after PBSC haplo-HCT. These findings suggest that Siro is a comparable alternative to Tac in combination with PTCy/MMF for GVHD prophylaxis, with overall similar clinical outcomes despite delayed engraftment after peripheral blood stem cell haplo-HCT. Although Tac remains the standard of care, Siro may be substituted based on the side effect profile of these medications, with consideration of patient medical comorbidities at HCT.

Abstract
HLA Class I and II expression are known to differ locus-to-locus, however, HLA expression on the cell-surface is frequently reported as the total amount of HLA Class I or II antigens. This is despite evidence that indicates the differential expression of HLA can influence patient outcomes post-transplantation. Although numerous commercially available HLA monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) exist to characterize HLA expression, there is currently a lack of detailed information regarding their reactivities to HLA specificities. The specificities of locus-specific HLA mAbs (nine Class I and four Class II mAbs) were evaluated by two solid-phase Luminex single antigen bead assays. The reactivity patterns of these mAbs were then confirmed by flow cytometry using lymphocytes and PBSCs (peripheral blood stem cells). Out of the 13 HLA mAbs tested, only four (one Class I and three Class II mAbs) displayed intra-locus reactivity without also reacting to inter-locus specificities. Epitope analysis revealed the presence of shared epitopes across numerous HLA loci, explaining much of the observed inter-locus reactivity. The specificity of the HLA mAbs seen in solid-phase assays was confirmed against PBSCs and lymphocytes by flow cytometry. Using this method, we observed differences in the cell surface expression of HLA-C, HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, and HLA-DP between PBSCs and lymphocytes. Our results emphasize the need to characterize the reactivity patterns of HLA mAbs using solid-phase assays before their use on cells. Through understanding the reactivity of these HLA mAbs, the cellular expression of HLA can be more accurately assessed in downstream assays.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curative therapy for many malignant and non-malignant hematologic disorders. Chronic graft-versus-host (cGVHD) disease remains a significant hurdle for long-term survival in patients post allo-HCT, and it remains the leading cause of late non-relapse mortality. The risk factors for development of cGVHD include degree of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) disparity, increasing recipient age, use of peripheral blood stem cells as a source, myeloablative conditioning regimens, prior acute GVHD (aGVHD), and female donor to male recipient. Our biological understanding of cGVHD is mostly derived from transplantation mouse models and patient data. There are three distinct phases in the development of cGVHD. Approaches to prevent GVHD include pharmacologic strategies such as calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine, tacrolimus) combined with methotrexate or mTOR inhibitors (sirolimus), and IMP dehydrogenase inhibitors (mycophenolate mofetil). Increasingly, posttransplant cyclophosphamide is emerging as a promising strategy for GVCHD prevention especially in a setting of reduced intensity conditioning. Other approaches include serotherapy (ATG, Campath) and graft manipulation strategies. A significant obstacle to evaluating the response of novel GVHD-directed therapies has been standardized response assessments. This has functioned as a barrier to designing and interpreting clinical trials that are structured around the treatment of cGVHD. Novel endpoints including failure-free survival, Graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS), and current GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (CGRFS) may create a clearer picture for post-HCT outcomes. Targeted therapies including Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibition, JAK1/2 inhibition, and ROCK2 inhibitors have improved cGVHD therapy, especially in the steroid refractory setting. Continued improvement in prophylactic strategies for cGVHD, identification of accurate cGVHD treatment endpoints, and access to novel therapeutic agents are expected to improve cGVHD outcomes.

Abstract
Haploidentical donors offer a potentially readily available donor, especially for non-White patients, for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). In this North American collaboration, we retrospectively analyzed outcomes of first HCT using haploidentical donor and post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) overlap neoplasms (MDS/MPN). We included 120 consecutive patients who underwent HCT using a haploidentical donor for MDS/MPN across 15 centers. Median age was 62.5 years and 38% were of non-White/Caucasian ethnicity. The median follow-up was 2.4 years. Graft failure was reported in seven of 120 (6%) patients. At 3 years, nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was 25% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 17-34), relapse 27% (95% CI: 18-36), grade 3-4 acute graftversus- host disease 12% (95% CI: 6-18), chronic graft-versus-host disease requiring systemic immunosuppression 14% (95% CI: 7-20), progression-free survival (PFS) 48% (95% CI: 39-59), and overall survival (OS) 56% (95% CI: 47-67). On multivariable analysis, NRM was statistically significantly associated with advancing age at HCT (per decade increment, subdistribution hazard ratio [sdHR] =3.28; 95% CI: 1.30-8.25); relapse with the presence of mutation in EZH2/RUNX1/SETBP1 (sdHR=2.61; 95% CI: 1.06-6.44); PFS with advancing age at HCT (per decade increment, HR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.13-3.45); and OS with advancing age at HCT (per decade increment, HR=2.01; 95% CI: 1.11-3.63) and splenomegaly at HCT/prior splenectomy (HR=2.20; 95% CI: 1.04-4.65). Haploidentical donors are a viable option for HCT in MDS/MPN, especially for those disproportionately represented in the unrelated donor registry. Hence, donor mismatch should not preclude HCT for patients with MDS/MPN, an otherwise incurable malignancy. In addition to patient age, disease-related factors including splenomegaly and high-risk mutations dominate outcomes following HCT.

Abstract
PURPOSE Magrolimab is a first-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody against cluster of differentiation 47, an antiphagocytic signal used by cancer cells to evade phagocytosis. Azacitidine upregulates prophagocytic signals on AML cells, further increasing phagocytosis when combined with magrolimab. We report final phase Ib data for magrolimab with azacitidine in patients with untreated AML ineligible for intensive chemotherapy (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03248479). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with previously untreated AML, including TP53-mutant AML, received magrolimab intravenously as an initial dose (1 mg/kg, days 1 and 4), followed by 15 mg/kg once on day 8 and 30 mg/kg once weekly or every 2 weeks as maintenance. Azacitidine 75 mg/m2 was administered intravenously/subcutaneously once daily on days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle. Primary end points were safety/tolerability and proportion with complete remission (CR). RESULTS Eighty-seven patients were enrolled and treated; 72 (82.8%) had TP53 mutations with a median variant allele frequency of 61% (range, 9.8-98.7). Fifty-seven (79.2%) of TP53-mutant patients had European LeukemiaNet 2017 adverse-risk cytogenetics. Patients received a median of 4 (range, 1-39) cycles of treatment. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events included constipation (49.4%), nausea (49.4%), and diarrhea (48.3%). Thirty (34.5%) experienced anemia, and the median hemoglobin change from baseline to first postdose assessment was -0.9 g/dL (range, -3.6 to 2.5 g/dL). Twenty-eight (32.2%) patients achieved CR, including 23 (31.9%) patients with TP53 mutations. The median overall survival in TP53-mutant and wild-type patients were 9.8 months and 18.9 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Magrolimab with azacitidine was relatively well tolerated with promising efficacy in patients with AML ineligible for intensive induction chemotherapy, including those with TP53 mutations, warranting further evaluation of magrolimab with azacitidine in AML. The phase III randomized ENHANCE-2 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04778397) and ENHANCE-3 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05079230) studies are recruiting frontline patients with AML.

Abstract
We conducted a retrospective analysis of WT1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who underwent allogeneic stem cell transplant. Thirty-seven patients with WT1-mutated AML were identified. Primary induction failure (40%) and early relapse rate (18%) after idarubicin/cytarabine (7 + 3) chemotherapy were observed. All patients with induction failure subsequently achieved CR with additional chemotherapy. There was no significant difference between outcomes after myeloablative vs. reduced intensity (Fludarabine/Melphalan [Flu/Mel]) conditioning regimens. RFS but not OS was significantly better in patients who received FLAG-IDA prior to transplant and/or a fludarabine-containing conditioning. In an independent ex vivo study, WT1-mutated AML samples exhibited greater sensitivity to fludarabine (p = 0.026) and melphalan (p = 0.0005) than non-WT1-mutated AML samples while there was no difference between sensitivity to cytarabine. Our data favor using a fludarabine-based induction for AML with WT1 mutation instead of 7 + 3. Fludarabine conditioning regimens for alloHCT showed better RFS but not OS.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell patients are immunocompromised, remain at high risk following SARS-CoV-2 infection, and are less likely than immunocompetent individuals to respond to vaccination. As part of the safety lead-in portion of a phase 2 clinical trial in patients post HCT/CAR-T for hematological malignancies (HM), we tested the immunogenicity of the synthetic modified vaccinia Ankara-based COVID-19 vaccine COH04S1 co-expressing spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) antigens. Thirteen patients were vaccinated 3-12 months post HCT/CAR-T with two to four doses of COH04S1. SARS-CoV-2 antigen-specific humoral and cellular immune responses, including neutralizing antibodies to ancestral virus and variants of concern (VOC), were measured up to six months post vaccination and compared to immune responses in historical cohorts of naïve healthy volunteers (HV) vaccinated with COH04S1 and naïve healthcare workers (HCW) vaccinated with the FDA-approved mRNA vaccine Comirnaty® (Pfizer, New York, NY, USA). After one or two COH04S1 vaccine doses, HCT/CAR-T recipients showed a significant increase in S- and N-specific binding antibody titers and neutralizing antibodies with potent activity against SARS-CoV-2 ancestral virus and VOC, including the highly immune evasive Omicron XBB.1.5 variant. Furthermore, vaccination with COH04S1 resulted in a significant increase in S- and N-specific T cells, predominantly CD4+ T lymphocytes. Elevated S- and N-specific immune responses continued to persist at six months post vaccination. Furthermore, both humoral and cellular immune responses in COH04S1-vaccinated HCT/CAR-T patients were superior or comparable to those measured in COH04S1-vaccinated HV or Comirnaty®-vaccinated HCW. These results demonstrate robust stimulation of SARS-CoV-2 S- and N-specific immune responses including cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies by COH04S1 in HM patients post HCT/CAR-T, supporting further testing of COH04S1 in immunocompromised populations.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the main cause of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Ann Arbor (AA) scores derived from serum biomarkers at onset of GVHD quantify GI crypt damage; AA2/3 scores correlate with resistance to treatment and higher NRM. We conducted a multicenter, phase 2 study using natalizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks T-cell trafficking to the GI tract through the α4 subunit of α4β7 integrin, combined with corticosteroids as primary treatment for patients with new onset AA2/3 GVHD. Seventy-five patients who were evaluable were enrolled and treated; 81% received natalizumab within 2 days of starting corticosteroids. Therapy was well tolerated with no treatment emergent adverse events in >10% of patients. Outcomes for patients treated with natalizumab plus corticosteroids were compared with 150 well-matched controls from the MAGIC database whose primary treatment was corticosteroids alone. There were no significant differences in overall or complete response between patients treated with natalizumab plus corticosteroids and those treated with corticosteroids alone (60% vs 58%; P = .67% and 48% vs 48%; P = 1.0, respectively) including relevant subgroups. There were also no significant differences in NRM or overall survival at 12 months in patients treated with natalizumab plus corticosteroids compared with controls treated with corticosteroids alone (38% vs 39%; P = .80% and 46% vs 54%; P = .48, respectively). In this multicenter biomarker-based phase 2 study, natalizumab combined with corticosteroids failed to improve outcome of patients with newly diagnosed high-risk GVHD. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as # NCT02133924.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT) is potentially curative for relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-cell NHL). However, relapse remains a major cause of treatment failure, especially in patients with either positron emission tomography (PET)-positive and/or chemoresistant disease prior to alloHCT. 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) is a radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibody which is a safe and effective therapy in multiple histologic subtypes of B-cell NHL and has also been incorporated in both autologous HCT (autoHCT) and alloHCT conditioning regimens. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and confirm the safety of the radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibody ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) combined with the reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen of fludarabine and melphalan (Flu/Mel) in patients with high-risk B-cell NHL. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a phase II trial (NCT00577278) of Zevalin with Flu/Mel in patients with high-risk B-cell NHL. We enrolled 41 patients from October 2007 to April 2014, all of whom had either a fully matched sibling or 8/8 or 7/8 matched unrelated donor (MUD). Patients received 111In-Zevalin (5.0 mCi) on day -21 pre-HCT, followed by 90Y-Zevalin (0.4 mCi/kg) on day -14. Fludarabine (25 mg/m2 daily) was given from days -9 to -5 and melphalan (140 mg/m2) was administered on day -4. All patients received rituximab 250 mg/m2 on day +8 and an additional dose on either day +1 or -21 depending on the baseline rituximab level. Patients with a low rituximab level were given rituximab on days -21 and -15. All patients received tacrolimus/sirolimus (T/S) with or without methotrexate (MTX) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis starting on day -3, and stem cells were infused on day 0. RESULTS The 2-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for all patients were 63% and 61%, respectively. The incidence of relapse at 2 years was 20%. Nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at day +100 and 1 year were 5% and 12%, respectively. The overall cumulative incidence of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) were 44% and 15%, respectively. Extensive chronic GVHD (cGVHD) occurred in 44% of patients. On univariate analysis, histology (diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) vs. others) was negatively predictive for OS (P = .0013) and PFS (P = .0004), while histology (DLBCL vs. others, P = .0128) predicted for relapse. PET positivity pre-HCT did not correlate with any of the efficacy endpoints. CONCLUSION Addition of Zevalin to Flu/Mel is safe and effective in high-risk NHL and met the prespecific endpoint. Results were suboptimal in patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a potentially life-threatening complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation. With improvements in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) monitoring and supportive care, PTLD incidence has decreased throughout the history of bone marrow transplantation. It is rare to develop PTLD after the first year following transplant, across all donor categories. In this case, we hope to elucidate details that may have predisposed to this unusual presentation. We present the case of a 55-year-old gentleman with acute myeloid leukemia who underwent a haploidentical transplant for consolidation and presented with fatigue, lethargy and presumed septic shock nearly 7 years after transplant.

Abstract
Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a common complication after haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HaploHCT). Severe CRS after haploHCT leads to higher risk of non-relapse mortality (NRM) and worse overall survival (OS). Tocilizumab (TOCI) is an interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor and is commonly used as first-line for CRS management after chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy, but the impact of TOCI administration for CRS management on Haplo HCT outcomes is not known. In this single center retrospective analysis, we compared HCT outcomes in patients treated with or without TOCI for CRS management after HaploHCT with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide- (PTCy-) based graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. Of the 115 patients eligible patients who underwent HaploHCT at City of Hope between 2019 to 2021 and developed CRS, we identified 11 patients who received tocilizumab for CRS management (TOCI). These patients were matched with 21 patients who developed CRS but did not receive tocilizumab (NO-TOCI) based on age at the time of HCT (≤64 years or >65 years or older), conditioning intensity (myeloablative versus reduced-intensity/nonmyeloablative), and CRS grading (1, 2, versus 3-4). Instead of 22 controls, we chose 21 patients because there was only 1 control matched with 1 TOCI treatment patient in 1 stratum. With only 11 patients in receiving tocilizumab for CRS treatment, matching with 21 patients who developed CRS but did not receive tocilizumab, we had 80% power to detect big differences (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.4 or higher) in transplantation outcomes using a 2-sided 0.05 test. The power would be reduced to about 20% to 30% if the difference was moderate (HR = 2.0) using the same test. No CRS-related deaths were recorded in either group. Median time to neutrophil engraftment was 21 days (range 16-43) in TOCI and 18 days (range 14-23) in NO-TOCI group (HR = 0.55; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.28-1.06, P = .08). Median time to platelet engraftment was 34 days (range 20-81) in TOCI and 28 days (range 12-94) in NO-TOCI group (HR = 0.56; 95% CI = 0.25-1.22, P = .19). Cumulative incidences of day 100 acute GvHD grades II-IV (P = .97) and grades III-IV (P = .47) were similar between the 2 groups. However, cumulative incidence of chronic GvHD at 1 year was significantly higher in patients receiving TOCI (64% versus 24%; P = .05). Rates of NRM (P = .66), relapse (P = .83), disease-free survival (P = .86), and overall survival (P = .73) were similar at 1 year after HCT between the 2 groups. Tocilizumab administration for CRS management after HaploHCT appears to be safe with no short-term adverse effect and no effect on relapse rate. However, the significantly higher cumulative incidence of chronic GvHD, negates the high efficacy of PTCy on GvHD prophylaxis in this patient population. Therefore using tocilizumab for CRS management in the HaploHCT population with PTCy maybe kept only for patients with severe CRS. The impact on such approach on long term outcome in HaploHCT with PTCy will need to be evaluated in a larger retrospective study or a prospective manner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT), a calcineurin inhibitor plus methotrexate has been a standard prophylaxis against graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). A phase 2 study indicated the potential superiority of a post-transplantation regimen of cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil. METHODS In a phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned adults with hematologic cancers in a 1:1 ratio to receive cyclophosphamide-tacrolimus-mycophenolate mofetil (experimental prophylaxis) or tacrolimus-methotrexate (standard prophylaxis). The patients underwent HSCT from an HLA-matched related donor or a matched or 7/8 mismatched (i.e., mismatched at only one of the HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-DRB1 loci) unrelated donor, after reduced-intensity conditioning. The primary end point was GVHD-free, relapse-free survival at 1 year, assessed in a time-to-event analysis, with events defined as grade III or IV acute GVHD, chronic GVHD warranting systemic immunosuppression, disease relapse or progression, and death from any cause. RESULTS In a multivariate Cox regression analysis, GVHD-free, relapse-free survival was significantly more common among the 214 patients in the experimental-prophylaxis group than among the 217 patients in the standard-prophylaxis group (hazard ratio for grade III or IV acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, disease relapse or progression, or death, 0.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.49 to 0.83; P = 0.001). At 1 year, the adjusted GVHD-free, relapse-free survival was 52.7% (95% CI, 45.8 to 59.2) with experimental prophylaxis and 34.9% (95% CI, 28.6 to 41.3) with standard prophylaxis. Patients in the experimental-prophylaxis group appeared to have less severe acute or chronic GVHD and a higher incidence of immunosuppression-free survival at 1 year. Overall and disease-free survival, relapse, transplantation-related death, and engraftment did not differ substantially between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Among patients undergoing allogeneic HLA-matched HSCT with reduced-intensity conditioning, GVHD-free, relapse-free survival at 1 year was significantly more common among those who received cyclophosphamide-tacrolimus-mycophenolate mofetil than among those who received tacrolimus-methotrexate.

Abstract
PURPOSE Magrolimab is a monoclonal antibody that blocks cluster of differentiation 47, a don't-eat-me signal overexpressed on cancer cells. Cluster of differentiation 47 blockade by magrolimab promotes macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of tumor cells and is synergistic with azacitidine, which increases expression of eat-me signals. We report final phase Ib data in patients with untreated higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) treated with magrolimab and azacitidine (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03248479). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with previously untreated Revised International Prognostic Scoring System intermediate-/high-/very high-risk MDS received magrolimab intravenously as a priming dose (1 mg/kg) followed by ramp-up to a 30 mg/kg once-weekly or once-every-2-week maintenance dose. Azacitidine 75 mg/m2 was administered intravenously/subcutaneously once daily on days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle. Primary end points were safety/tolerability and complete remission (CR) rate. RESULTS Ninety-five patients were treated. Revised International Prognostic Scoring System risk was intermediate/high/very high in 27%, 52%, and 21%, respectively. Fifty-nine (62%) had poor-risk cytogenetics and 25 (26%) had TP53 mutation. The most common treatment-emergent adverse effects included constipation (68%), thrombocytopenia (55%), and anemia (52%). Median hemoglobin change from baseline to first postdose assessment was -0.7 g/dL (range, -3.1 to +2.4). CR rate and overall response rate were 33% and 75%, respectively. Median time to response, duration of CR, duration of overall response, and progression-free survival were 1.9, 11.1, 9.8, and 11.6 months, respectively. Median overall survival (OS) was not reached with 17.1-month follow-up. In TP53-mutant patients, 40% achieved CR with median OS of 16.3 months. Thirty-four patients (36%) had allogeneic stem-cell transplant with 77% 2-year OS. CONCLUSION Magrolimab + azacitidine was well tolerated with promising efficacy in patients with untreated higher-risk MDS, including those with TP53 mutations. A phase III trial of magrolimab/placebo + azacitidine is ongoing (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04313881 [ENHANCE]).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In November 2020, the FDA issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 at high risk for disease progression. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 38 adult hematology patients who received mAbs from 11/2020 to 2/2021. RESULTS Thirty (79%) patients received bamlanivimab and 8 (21%) casirivimab-imdevimab. Four (11%) patients were hospitalized due to COVID-19, two (5%) progressed to severe disease and one patient (3%) died within 30 days from COVID-19 disease. Most patients (n = 34, 89%) ultimately tested negative for SARS-CoV-2, with 34% (n = 13) clearing the virus within 14 days after mAb infusion. The median time to clearance of viral shedding was 25.5 days (range: 7-138). After mAb infusion, most patients with hematological malignancies (HM) (n = 10/15; 67%) resumed therapy for underlying disease with a median delay of 21.5 days (range: 12-42). We observed a significant difference in hospitalization among patients who received a HCT versus non-HCT (0% n = 0/26 and 36% n = 4/11, respectively; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that SARS-CoV-2 specific mAb was safe and may reduce hospitalization compared to what is reported in malignant hematology patients at high risk for disease progression. Our HCT cohort patients had less hospitalization rate compared with HM cohort patients.

Abstract
This study reports the incidence of chronic graft versus host disease (GvHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHCT) recipients who received SARS-CoV2 vaccination. The overall rates of new and worsening chronic GvHD combined were 14%, with median time from vaccination to GVHD being approximately three to four weeks. A majority of the cases were of mild to moderate severity and primarily localized to either the skin, mouth, or joints. Prior chronic GVHD and recent transplant were associated with higher GVHD rates following COVID-19 vaccination. More prospective studies are needed to provide a definitive mechanism for the impact of SARS-CoV2 vaccination on alloHCT patients.

Abstract
Philadelphia (Ph)-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is associated with a poor response to standard chemotherapy. However, outcomes with novel antibody and cellular therapies in relapsed/refractory (r/r) Ph-like ALL are largely unknown. We conducted a single-center retrospective analysis of adult patients (n = 96) with r/r B-ALL and fusions associated with Ph-like who received novel salvage therapies. Patients were treated with 149 individual novel regimens (blinatumomab = 83, inotuzumab ozogamicin [InO] = 36, and CD19CAR T cells = 30). The median age at first novel salvage therapy was 36 years (range; 18-71). Ph-like fusions were IGH::CRLF2 (n = 48), P2RY8::CRLF2 (n = 26), JAK2 (n = 9), ABL-class (n = 8), EPOR::IGH (n = 4) and ETV6::NTRK2 (n = 1). CD19CAR T cells were administered later in the course of therapy compared to blinatumomab and InO (p < .001) and more frequently in recipients who relapsed after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) (p = .002). Blinatumomab was administered at an older age compared to InO and CAR T-cells (p = .004). The complete remission (CR)/CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) rates were 63%, 72%, and 90% following blinatumomab, InO and CD19CAR, respectively, among which 50%, 50%, and 44% of responders underwent consolidation with alloHCT, respectively. In multivariable analysis, the type of novel therapy (p = .044) and pretreatment marrow blasts (p = .006) predicted the CR/CRi rate, while the Ph-like fusion subtype (p = .016), pretreatment marrow blasts (p = .022) and post-response consolidation with alloHCT (p < .001) influenced event-free survival. In conclusion, novel therapies are effective in inducing high remission rates in patients with r/r Ph-like ALL and successfully transitioning the responders to alloHCT.

Abstract
In the current post-pandemic era, recipients of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) deserve special attention. In these vulnerable patients, vaccine effectiveness is reduced by post-transplant immune-suppressive therapy; consequently, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) is often associated with elevated morbidity and mortality. Characterizing SARS-CoV-2 adaptive immunity transfer from immune donors to HCT recipients in the context of immunosuppression will help identify optimal timing and vaccination strategies that can provide adequate protection to HCT recipients against infection with evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants. We performed a prospective observational study (NCT04666025 at ClinicalTrials.gov) to longitudinally monitor the transfer of SARS-CoV-2-specific antiviral immunity from HCT donors, who were either vaccinated or had a history of COVID-19, to their recipients via T-cell replete graft. Levels, function, and quality of SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses were longitudinally analyzed up to 6 months post-HCT in 14 matched unrelated donor/recipients and four haploidentical donor/recipient pairs. A markedly skewed donor-derived SARS-CoV-2 CD4 T-cell response was measurable in 15 (83%) recipients. It showed a polarized Th1 functional profile, with the prevalence of central memory phenotype subsets. SARS-CoV-2-specific IFN-γ was detectable throughout the observation period, including early post-transplant (day +30). Functionally experienced SARS-CoV-2 Th1-type T cells promptly expanded in two recipients at the time of post-HCT vaccination and in two others who were infected and survived post-transplant COVID-19 infection. Our data suggest that donor-derived SARS-CoV-2 T-cell responses are functional in immunosuppressed recipients and may play a critical role in post-HCT vaccine response and protection from the fatal disease. Clinical trial registration clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT04666025.

Abstract
PURPOSE A phase I/II study evaluating the safety and activity of memory-enriched CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CD19-CAR) T cells in adults with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). PATIENTS AND METHODS In phase I, we tested sequentially two cell populations for CAR transduction: (i) central memory (Tcm) or (ii) naïve, stem, and central memory (Tn/mem) T cells. The study employed an activity constrained for toxicity design to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D), which was tested in phase II. RESULTS The Tcm cohort was closed early due to lack of activity. The 200 ×106 Tn/mem-derived CD19-CAR T-cell dose was found to be safe and active, and was declared the RP2D. At RP2D, 58 participants underwent leukapheresis and 46 received CD19-CAR T cells. Median age for treated participants was 38 years (range, 22-72). Twenty-nine (63%) participants had relapsed post-allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), 18 (39%) had Philadelphia-like (Ph-like) genotype, and 16 (35%) had extramedullary disease (EMD) at lymphodepletion (LD). Three (7%) participants had grade 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and none had grade ≥ 4 CRS. Eight (17%) participants had grade ≥ 3 neurotoxicity, including one fatal cerebral edema. Forty (87%) patients achieved complete remission (CR)/CR with incomplete hematologic recovery, 2 (4%) progressed, and 4 (9%) were unevaluable for response. Among 42 response-evaluable participants, 16/17 with Ph-like ALL and 13/15 with EMD at LD responded. Twenty-one (53%) responders underwent alloHCT consolidation, which was associated with improved relapse-free survival (adjusted HR = 0.16; 95% confidence interval, 0.05-0.48; P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Tn/mem-derived CD19-CAR T cells were safe and active, including in Ph-like ALL and EMD. See related commentary by El Marabti and Abdel-Wahab, p. 694.

Abstract
The standard primary treatment for acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) requires prolonged, high-dose systemic corticosteroids (SCSs) that delay reconstitution of the immune system. We used validated clinical and biomarker staging criteria to identify a group of patients with low-risk (LR) GVHD that is very likely to respond to SCS. We hypothesized that itacitinib, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, would effectively treat LR GVHD without SCS. We treated 70 patients with LR GVHD in a multicenter, phase 2 trial (NCT03846479) with 28 days of itacitinib 200 mg/d (responders could receive a second 28-day cycle), and we compared their outcomes to those of 140 contemporaneous, matched control patients treated with SCSs. More patients responded to itacitinib within 7 days (81% vs 66%, P = .02), and response rates at day 28 were very high for both groups (89% vs 86%, P = .67), with few symptomatic flares (11% vs 12%, P = .88). Fewer itacitinib-treated patients developed a serious infection within 90 days (27% vs 42%, P = .04) due to fewer viral and fungal infections. Grade ≥3 cytopenias were similar between groups except for less severe leukopenia with itacitinib (16% vs 31%, P = .02). No other grade ≥3 adverse events occurred in >10% of itacitinib-treated patients. There were no significant differences between groups at 1 year for nonrelapse mortality (4% vs 11%, P = .21), relapse (18% vs 21%, P = .64), chronic GVHD (28% vs 33%, P = .33), or survival (88% vs 80%, P = .11). Itacitinib monotherapy seems to be a safe and effective alternative to SCS treatment for LR GVHD and deserves further investigation.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a potentially life-threatening complication that can be observed after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Inotuzumab ozogamicin is an anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate that has demonstrated high efficacy in relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) but is associated with an increased risk of SOS in HCT recipients. Here we aimed to examine the incidence and outcomes of SOS in 47 adult patients with R/R ALL who received inotuzumab therapy and subsequently underwent HCT at our institution. All patients received prophylactic therapy with ursodiol, and continuous low-dose heparin also was administered to patients receiving myeloablative conditioning (MAC). SOS occurred in 12 patients (26%) post-HCT, at a median onset of 11 days (range, 3 to 41 days). SOS was graded as very severe in 50% (n = 6), severe in 25% (n = 3), and mild in 25% (n = 3). All patients diagnosed with SOS received treatment with defibrotide for a median of 21 days (range, 3 to 34 days), with resolution of SOS occurring in 8 patients (67%). Mortality from SOS was 33% (n = 4) and occurred at a median of 10 days from diagnosis (range, 3 to 31 days) in patients graded as very severe (n = 3) or severe (n = 1). There were no significant differences between patients who developed SOS and those who did not develop SOS in the median time from the last dose of inotuzumab to transplantation (46 days versus 53 days; P = .37), use of an MAC regimen (42% versus 49%; P = .75), number of lines of therapy prior to inotuzumab (P = .79), median number of administered cycles of inotuzumab (2 versus 2; P = .14), or receipt of inotuzumab as the last therapy prior to HCT (67% versus 66%; P = 1.0). Sirolimus-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was used more frequently in the SOS group (75% versus 29%; P < .01), but there was no between-group difference in the peak sirolimus level (P = .81) or the median time to peak sirolimus level (7 days versus 3.5 days; P = .39). In univariable analysis, only the use of sirolimus-based GVHD prophylaxis was significantly associated with an increased risk of SOS (hazard ratio [HR], 7.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7 to 33.6; P < .01). In the SOS group, the 100-day mortality rate was 33% (n = 4), and median overall survival (OS) post-HCT was 4.3 months (range, 0.2 to 57.2 months). In the group without SOS, the 100-day mortality rate was 14% (n = 5) and the median OS post-HCT was 10.7 months (range, .52 to 39.6 months). In this study cohort, SOS was prevalent in HCT recipients who had been treated with inotuzumab prior to transplantation, and sirolimus-based GVHD prophylaxis was a risk factor for SOS in inotuzumab recipients.

Abstract
Allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation is the treatment of choice for high-risk or relapsed acute leukemia. However, unfortunately, relapse post-transplant continues to be the most common cause of treatment failure with 20-80% of patients relapsing based on disease risk and status at transplant. Advances in molecular profiling of different hematological malignancies have enabled us to monitor low level disease before and after transplant and develop a more personalized approach to the management of these disease including early detection post-transplant. While, in general, detectable disease by morphology remains the gold standard to diagnosing relapse, multiple approaches have allowed detection of cancer cells earlier, using peripheral blood-based methods with sensitivities as high as 1:106, together called minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) detection. However, a in significant number of patients with acute leukemia where no such molecular markers exist it remains challenging to detect early relapse. In such patients who receive transplantation, chimerism monitoring remains the only option. An increase in mixed chimerism in post allogeneic HCT patients has been correlated with relapse in multiple studies. However, chimerism monitoring, while commonly accepted as a tool for assessing engraftment, has not been routinely used for relapse detection, at least in part because of the lack of standardized, high sensitivity, reliable methods for chimerism detection. In this paper, we review the various methods employed for MRD and chimerism detection post-transplant and discuss future trends in MRD and chimerism monitoring from the viewpoint of the practicing transplant physician.

Abstract
With increasing numbers of patients with hematologic malignancies requiring allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), including minority racial and ethnic groups, the limited availability of matched related donors and matched unrelated donors remains a significant obstacle. Hence, the use of alternative donors such as haploidentical and mismatched unrelated donors (MMUDs) is on the rise. Herein, we present case studies to outline a rational and stepwise approach with a focus on the use of MMUD for HCT in patients with hematologic malignancies. We also review novel approaches used to reduce the incidence of severe graft-versus-host disease and improve HCT outcomes in patients undergoing MMUD HCT.

Abstract
Historically, Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been associated with poor outcomes, and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is recommended in first complete remission (CR1). However, in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) era, rapid attainment of a complete molecular remission (CMR) is associated with excellent outcomes without allo-HCT, suggesting transplant may not be required for these patients. To test this hypothesis, we retrospectively identified adult patients with Ph+ ALL treated with induction therapy, including TKIs, and attained CMR within 90 days of diagnosis at 5 transplant centers in the United States. We compared outcomes of those who did and did not receive allo-HCT in first remission. We identified 230 patients (allo-HCT: 98; non-HCT: 132). The allo-HCT cohort was younger with better performance status. On multivariable analysis (MVA), allo-HCT was not associated with improved overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.05; 95% CI, 0.63-1.73) or relapse-free survival (aHR: 0.86; 95% CI, 0.54-1.37) compared with non-HCT treatment. Allo-HCT was associated with a lower cumulative incidence of relapse (aHR: 0.32; 95% CI, 0.17-0.62) but higher non-relapse mortality (aHR: 2.59; 95% CI, 1.37-4.89). Propensity score matching analysis confirmed results of MVA. Comparison of reduced-intensity HCT to non-HCT showed no statistically significant difference in any of the above endpoints. In conclusion, adult patients with Ph+ ALL who achieved CMR within 90 days of starting treatment did not derive a survival benefit from allo-HCT in CR1 in this retrospective study.

Abstract
Purpose TMI utilizes IMRT to deliver organ sparing targeted radiotherapy in patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). TMI addresses an unmet need, specifically patients with refractory or relapsed (R/R) hematologic malignancies who have poor outcomes with standard HCT regimens and where attempts to improve outcomes by adding or dose escalating TBI are not possible due to increased toxicities. Over 500 patients have received TMI at this center. This review summarizes this experience including planning and delivery, clinical results, and future directions. Methods Patients were treated on prospective allogeneic HCT trials using helical tomographic or VMAT IMRT delivery. Target structures included the bone/marrow only (TMI), or the addition of lymph nodes, and spleen (total marrow and lymphoid irradiation, TMLI). Total dose ranged from 12 to 20 Gy at 1.5-2.0 Gy fractions twice daily. Results Trials demonstrate engraftment in all patients and a low incidence of radiation related toxicities and extramedullary relapses. In R/R acute leukemia TMLI 20 Gy, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide (Cy) results in a 1-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate of 6% and 2-year overall survival (OS) of 48%; TMLI 12 Gy added to fludarabine (flu) and melphalan (mel) in older patients (≥ 60 years old) results in a NRM rate of 33% comparable to flu/mel alone, and 5-year OS of 42%; and TMLI 20 Gy/flu/Cy and post-transplant Cy (PTCy) in haplo-identical HCT results in a 2-year NRM rate of 13% and 1-year OS of 83%. In AML in complete remission, TMLI 20 Gy and PTCy results in 2-year NRM, OS, and GVHD free/relapse-free survival (GRFS) rates of 0%, 86·7%, and 59.3%, respectively. Conclusion TMI/TMLI shows significant promise, low NRM rates, the ability to offer myeloablative radiation containing regimens to older patients, the ability to dose escalate, and response and survival rates that compare favorably to published results. Collaboration between radiation oncology and hematology is key to successful implementation. TMI/TMLI represents a paradigm shift from TBI towards novel strategies to integrate a safer and more effective target-specific radiation therapy into HCT conditioning beyond what is possible with TBI and will help expand and redefine the role of radiotherapy in HCT.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has remained the main cause of post-transplantation mortality and morbidity after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), adding significant economic burden and affecting quality of life. It would be desirable to reduce the rate of GVHD among patients in complete remission (CR) without increasing the risk of relapse. In this study, we have tested a novel conditioning regimen of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) at 2000 cGy, together with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first or second CR, to attenuate the risk of chronic GVHD by using PTCy, while using escalated targeted radiation conditioning before allografting to offset the possible increased risk of relapse. The primary objective was to evaluate the safety/feasibility of combining a TMLI transplantation conditioning regimen with a PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis strategy, through the assessment of adverse events in terms of type, frequency, severity, attribution, time course, duration, and complications, including acute GVHD, infection, and delayed neutrophil/platelet engraftment. Secondary objectives included estimation of non-relapse mortality (NRM), overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival, acute and chronic GVHD, and GVHD-relapse-free survival (GRFS). A patient safety lead-in was first conducted to ensure there were no unexpected toxicities and was expanded on the basis of lack of dose-limiting toxicities. The patient safety lead-in segment followed 3 + 3 dose expansion/(de-)escalation rules based on observed toxicity through day 30; the starting dose of TMLI was 2000 cGy, and a de-escalation to 1800 cGy was considered. After the safety lead-in segment, an expansion cohort of up to 12 additional patients was to be studied. TMLI was administered on days -4 to 0, delivered in 200 cGy fractions twice daily. The radiation dose delivered to the liver and brain was kept at 1200 cGy. Cyclophosphamide was given on days 3 and 4 after alloHCT, 50 mg/kg each day for GVHD prevention; tacrolimus was given until day 90 and then tapered. Among 18 patients with a median age of 40 years (range 19-56), the highest grade toxicities were grade 2 Bearman bladder toxicity and stomatitis. No grade 3 or 4 Bearman toxicities or toxicity-related deaths were observed. The cumulative incidence of acute GVHD grade 2 to 4 and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD were 11.1% and 11.9%, respectively. At a median follow up of 24.5 months, two-year estimates of OS and relapse-free survival were 86.7% and 83.3%, respectively. Disease relapse at 2 years was 16.7%. The estimates of NRM at 2 years was 0%. The GVHD/GRFS rate at 2 years was 59.3% (95% confidence interval, 28.8-80.3). This chemotherapy-free conditioning regimen, together with PTCy and tacrolimus, is safe, with no NRM. Preliminary results suggest an improved GRFS rate.

Abstract
7017 Background: Magrolimab is a monoclonal antibody that blocks CD47, a “don’t eat me” signal overexpressed on cancer cells. CD47 blockade by magrolimab induces macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of tumor cells and is synergistic with azacitidine (AZA) via upregulation of “eat me” signals. Here we report final Phase 1b data in patients (pts) with untreated HR-MDS (NCT03248479). Methods: Pts with previously untreated intermediate-/high-/very high-risk MDS per IPSS-R received magrolimab IV as a priming dose (1 mg/kg) followed by ramp-up to a 30 mg/kg weekly or Q2W maintenance dose. AZA 75 mg/m2 was administered IV or SC on Days 1–7 of each 28-day cycle. Primary endpoints were safety/tolerability and complete remission (CR) rate. Results: 95 pts (median age 69 years [range 28, 91]) were treated. IPSS-R risk was intermediate, high, or very high in 27%, 52%, and 21%, respectively. MDS was therapy-related in 22%; 26% (n=25) had a TP53 mutation and 62% had poor-risk cytogenetics (27% complex). Median (range) number of cycles was 6 (1, 27). The most common TEAEs included constipation (68%), thrombocytopenia (55%), anemia (52%), neutropenia (47%), nausea (46%), and diarrhea (44%). The most common Grade 3/4 TEAEs included anemia (47%), neutropenia (46%), thrombocytopenia (46%), and WBC count decreased (30%). 6 pts discontinued treatment due to AEs. 60-day mortality was 2%. Median Hb change from baseline (BL) at first post-dose sample was –0.7 g/dL (range –3.1, +2.4). CR and objective response (OR) rates were 33% and 75% with 31% of evaluable OR pts with abnormal cytogenetics at BL having cytogenetic CR. Median time to first OR, duration of CR (DCR), duration of OR, and PFS were 1.9, 11.1, 9.8, and 11.6 mos. OS rates at 12 and 24 mos were 75% and 52%, respectively (median NR with 17.1 mos follow-up for OS). For patients evaluated with sequential WES with a VAF cutoff of 5%, 3 of 3 pts with TP53 mutation who achieved CR had TP53 VAF <5% by C5D1. Favorable outcomes were observed in both TP53 mutant (40% CR, median OS 16.3 months) and wildtype pts (31% CR, median OS NR; Table). Conclusions: Magrolimab+AZA was well tolerated with promising efficacy in pts with untreated HR-MDS including those with TP53-mut and TP53-wt disease. A Phase 3 trial of magrolimab/placebo+AZA (ENHANCE: NCT04313881) is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03248479. [Table: see text]

Abstract
7020 Background: Magrolimab is a monoclonal antibody blocking CD47, a “don’t eat me” signal overexpressed on cancer cells such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This blockade induces phagocytosis of tumor cells and is synergistic with azacitidine (AZA) via upregulation of “eat me” signals. We report data from a Phase 1b trial of magrolimab+AZA in frontline TP53-mutant ( TP53m) AML. Methods: Patients (pts) with frontline AML not suitable for intensive chemotherapy received IV magrolimab starting with a priming dose (1 mg/kg) followed by ramp-up to 30 mg/kg QW or Q2W as maintenance dose. AZA 75 mg/m2 was given IV or SC on Days 1–7 of each 28-day cycle. Primary endpoints were safety/tolerability and complete remission (CR) rate by ELN 2017 criteria. Results: 72 TP53m AML pts were treated (Table). Common all-grade TEAEs were constipation (52.8%), diarrhea (47.2%), febrile neutropenia (45.8%), nausea (43.1%), fatigue (37.5%), decreased appetite (37.5%), thrombocytopenia (31.9%), peripheral edema (30.6%), and cough (30.6%). Most common Grade 3+ TEAEs were febrile neutropenia (37.5%), anemia (29.2%; Grade 3, 26.4%; Grade 4, 2.8%), thrombocytopenia (29.2%), pneumonia (26.4%), and neutropenia (20.8%). Objective response rate (ORR) by intent-to-treat was 48.6% (33.3% CR, 8.3% CR with incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi] / CR with partial hematologic recovery [CRh], 1.4% morphologic leukemia-free state [MLFS], 5.6% partial response). Stable disease was reported in 16.7%, progressive disease (PD) in 5.6%. 30- and 60-day mortalities were 8.3% and 18.1%, respectively. Response assessment was unavailable in 4.2% who discontinued due to AEs and 6.9% due to other, prior to the C3D1 assessment. Median time to CR/CRi was 2.2 months (mos; range 1.7–7.2) and to CR was 3.0 mos (range 1.8–9.6). 45.2% (14/31) of evaluable CR/CRi/CRh/MLFS pts achieved negative MRD by flow cytometry (investigator reported). Of 24 CR patients, 8 had a longitudinal TP53 VAF assessment, and 5/8 (63%) had VAF decreased to ≤5%. Treatment was stopped due to SCT in 9 pts (12.5%), PD 26 (36.1%), death 8 (11.1%), AE 13 (18.1%), and other 14 (19.4%). Median durations of CR and CR/CRi were 7.7 mos (95% CI: 4.7, 10.9) and 8.7 mos (95% CI: 5.3, 10.9), respectively. Median overall survival (OS) for the 72 pts was 10.8 mos (95% CI: 6.8, 12.8) with median follow up 8.3 mos. Conclusions: In high-risk frontline TP53m AML pts unsuitable for intensive chemotherapy, magrolimab+AZA showed durable responses and encouraging OS in a single-arm study. A Phase 3 trial in TP53m AML (ENHANCE-2; NCT04778397) of this combination vs standard of care is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03248479. [Table: see text]

Abstract
Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has improved hematopoietic stem cell transplantation outcomes for patients with major HLA disparities. Although PTCy in combination with calcineurin inhibitors is a successful graft-versus-host disease regimen, giving high doses of cyclophosphamide may cause hemorrhagic cystitis (HC). The strategies used to prevent HC are adapted from published data in the pre-transplantation conditioning setting. However, there is no consensus on what the optimal strategy is to prevent PTCy-associated HC. This review provides a summary of the different preventative strategies used in this setting. Based on the results published in current literature, hyperhydration is an effective preventative strategy, but it may cause fluid overload and other complications. Additionally, mesna at least 100% of the PTCy dose should be administered as a continuous infusion or frequent intermittent bolus infusion. More comparative studies between these strategies are needed to provide a definitive solution for preventing HC associated with PTCy.

Abstract
Patients with acute leukemia who undergo allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation with active disease have high rates of relapse and poor overall survival (OS) post-transplant compared to patients undergoing HCT in remission. Here, we report the long-term outcomes in 32 patients who received a high-intensity conditioning regimen comprising fractionated total body irradiation (FTBI; 1200 cGy) with pharmacokinetic (PK) dosing of intravenous Busulfan (IV BU) targeted to first dose area under curve (AUC) of 700-900 µM/min and etoposide (30 mg/kg) in a prospective phase 2 clinical trial. The median age of the patients at the time of HCT was 37 years (range: 18-50) presenting with high-risk (n = 6) and relapsed/refractory(r/r) acute leukemias (n = 26). All but one patient underwent HCT using peripheral blood stem cells from matched sibling donors. At a median follow-up of 17.3 years (range 14.4-19.0), 11 patients remained alive. The disease-free survival and OS at 15 years was 34% (versus 40% at 5-years post-HCT). The 15-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 26% and non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 38% (95% CI: 21-54%) and the cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD at 15 years was 33% using a prophylactic regimen of cyclosporine A and mycophenolate mofetil. The most common life-threatening late effects were secondary malignancies, metabolic, or cardiac complications with a cumulative incidence of 6.6%, 6.6%, and 13.3%, respectively. No unusual late effects or patterns of relapse were noted on longer followed on patients treated with intensified myeloablative condition regimen. Results from this study supports continued development of intensive conditioning regimens in patients with r/r acute leukemias to improve leukemia free (LFS) and OS in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is a safe and efficacious graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from a haploidentical (haplo) donor. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a common complication of this platform. Early fever post-haplo-HCT using bone marrow grafts is associated with higher CD3+ cell dose and CRS. However, the impact of CD3+ and CD34+ cell dose on CRS post-haplo-HCT using peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts is unknown. Our goals were to evaluate the incidence of CRS following PBSC transplantation (PBSCT) and to identify factors that can be modified to prevent the development of severe CRS in this setting. In 271 patients, we investigated factors associated with the development of CRS following haplo-PBSCT and examined the impact of CRS on clinical outcomes. Ninety-three percent of the patients developed CRS of any grade post-haplo-PBSCT. In multivariate analysis, severe CRS (grade 3-4 versus grade 0-1) was associated with higher nonrelapse mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 6.42; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.68 to 15.39; P < .001), worse 1-year overall survival (HR, 3.40; 95% CI, 1.63 to 7.08; P = .005), and worse disease-free survival (HR, 4.02; 95% CI, 1.99 to 8.08; P < .001). Moderate to severe CRS (grade 2-4) did not impact 1-year relapse or acute GVHD (grade II-IV and III-IV) at 100 days (P = .71 and .19, respectively). Importantly, higher CD3+ cell dose, but not CD34+ cell dose, predicted a higher incidence of grade 2-4 CRS (HR, 1.20; 95% CI,1.07 to 1.36; P = .003) and grade 3-4 CRS (HR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.86; P = .022). Both older age (HR, 8.57; 95% CI, 1.73 to 42.36; P < .001) and non-total body irradiation-based reduced-intensity conditioning with fludarabine/melphalan (HR, 15.38; 955 CI, 2.06 to 114.67; P < .001) were predictive of grade 3-4 CRS. Overall, we observed that severe CRS (grade 3-4) negatively affected transplantation outcome, and that higher CD3 cell dose was associated with the development of any grade CRS and severe CRS.

Abstract
Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) combined with tacrolimus (TAC) as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis post-hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is safe and effective. Optimal serum levels of TAC in this combination remain undetermined. We hypothesized that TAC at initial steady state (TISS) of <10 ng/mL could promote optimal transplant outcomes and prevent TAC-associated toxicities. We retrospectively analyzed a consecutive case series of 210 patients who received PTCy/TAC-based prophylaxis post-HCT from 1/2013–6/2018. Patients received HCT from haploidentical (n=172) or mismatched donors (n=38), and flat dose (FD) or weight-based dose (WBD) TAC. Twenty-four-month overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS), and relapse rate (RR) were 61%, 56%, and 22%, respectively, in TISS <10 ng/mL cohort (n=176), and 50%, 43%, and 35%, respectively, in TISS ≥10 ng/mL cohort (n=34) (OS, P=0.71; DFS, P=0.097; RR, P=0.031). OS, DFS, RR, non-relapse mortality, acute GvHD grade II-IV, grade III-IV or chronic GvHD by TISS were similar in multivariable analysis. TISS ≥10 ng/mL conferred increased risk of viral infection (P=0.003). More patients receiving FD vs. WBD had TISS <10 ng/mL (P=0.001). Overall, TISS <10 ng/mL early post HCT conferred similar survival outcomes and lowered risk of viral infection and toxicities compared to TISS ≥10 ng/mL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blinatumomab has demonstrated encouraging activity in relapsed/refractory (r/r) and minimal residual disease-positive (MRD+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Extramedullary disease (EMD) relapse or relapse with CD19- disease has been observed after blinatumomab therapy in patients with r/r or MRD+ ALL. However, the pathophysiology and risk factors of treatment failure are not fully understood. METHODS This study retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of adult patients with B-cell ALL treated with blinatumomab (n = 132) for either r/r (n = 103) or MRD+ disease (n = 29) at the authors' center (2013-2021) and analyzed factors associated with treatment response and EMD failure. RESULTS The overall response rate was 64%. A lower marrow blast burden before blinatumomab (P = .049) and no history of previous EMD (P = .019) were significantly associated with a higher response. Among the patients who responded to blinatumomab, 56% underwent consolidation with allogeneic transplantation. Blinatumomab failure was observed in 89 patients; 43% of these patients (n = 38) either progressed or relapsed at extramedullary sites. A history of extramedullary involvement (53% vs 24%; P = .005) and retention of CD19 expression at the time of relapse/progression (97% vs 74%; P = .012) were associated with a higher risk for extramedullary failure. Central nervous system (CNS) failure after blinatumomab was encountered in 39% of the patients with EMD. CONCLUSIONS A history of EMD predicted an inferior response to blinatumomab therapy with a higher risk for relapse/progression at extramedullary sites (particularly CNS). Consolidation with allogenic transplantation in patients who primarily responded to blinatumomab did not abrogate the risk of extramedullary relapse. The incorporation of extramedullary assessment and the intensification of CNS prophylaxis may help in addressing extramedullary failure. LAY SUMMARY Extramedullary failure is common during blinatumomab therapy for relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A history of extramedullary disease predicts an inferior response to blinatumomab therapy and a higher risk for relapse/progression at extramedullary sites. Most extramedullary failure cases retain CD19 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) arises from a rare population of aberrant hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). These cells are relatively quiescent and therefore treatment resistant. Understanding mechanisms underlying their maintenance is critical for effective MDS treatment. METHODS We evaluated microRNA-126 (miR-126) levels in MDS patients' sample and in a NUP98-HOXD13 (NHD13) murine MDS model along with their normal controls and defined its role in MDS HSPCs' maintenance by inhibiting miR-126 expression in vitro and in vivo. Identification of miR-126 effectors was conducted using biotinylated miR-126 pulldown coupled with transcriptome analysis. We also tested the therapeutic activity of our anti-miR-126 oligodeoxynucleotide (miRisten) in human MDS xenografts and murine MDS models. RESULTS miR-126 levels were higher in bone marrow mononuclear cells from MDS patients and NHD13 mice relative to their respective normal controls (P < 0.001). Genetic deletion of miR-126 in NHD13 mice decreased quiescence and self-renewal capacity of MDS HSPCs, and alleviated MDS symptoms of NHD13 mice. Ex vivo exposure to miRisten increased cell cycling, reduced colony-forming capacity, and enhanced apoptosis in human MDS HSPCs, but spared normal human HSPCs. In vivo miRisten administration partially reversed pancytopenia in NHD13 mice and blocked the leukemic transformation (combination group vs DAC group, P < 0.0001). Mechanistically, we identified the non-coding RNA PTTG3P as a novel miR-126 target. Lower PTTG3P levels were associated with a shorter overall survival in MDS patients. CONCLUSIONS MiR-126 plays crucial roles in MDS HSPC maintenance. Therapeutic targeting of miR-126 is a potentially novel approach in MDS.

Abstract
Currently, there is no consensus on best practices to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in patients receiving posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). We retrospectively reviewed 194 patients undergoing their first hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) who received PTCy from 2014 to 2018 to describe the incidence and severity of HC, identify potential risk factors, and impact of HC on HCT outcomes. Standard HC prophylaxis was hyperhydration with forced diuresis and mesna at 320% the daily dose of PTCy. Incidence of HC was 31.4% at day +100 of HCT. Median onset of HC was 12 days with 11.5% grade 3 HC and no Grade 4 HC. Patients with chemical HC experienced earlier onset (7 days vs. 34 days, p < 0.001) with a shorter median resolution time (5 days vs. 14 days, p = 0.001) when compared to BK-associated HC. In multivariate analysis, age above 60 years (HR 4.16, p = 0.006) and myeloablative conditioning (HR 2.44, p = 0.054) were associated with higher risk for HC, but overall, HC did not affect nonrelapse mortality or overall survival. In conclusion, hyperhydration with forced diuresis combined with aggressive mesna dosing is an effective strategy in preventing severe PTCy-associated HC, subsequently preventing any negative impact on transplant outcome.
