Abstract
Total body irradiation (TBI)-based conditioning regimens are generally recommended for allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Recent evidence suggests that modern chemotherapy-based regimens may be as effective. This multicenter retrospective study compared the clinical outcomes of myeloablative allo-HSCT with thiotepa, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide/fludarabine (TTB) to TBI-based conditioning. Between 2002 to 2018, 63 and 114 patients received TTB- and TBI-based conditioning regimens, respectively. The 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse was lower in the TBI cohort compared to the TTB cohort (30% [95% CI, 22-38] versus 47% [95% CI, 36-59]; P = 0.03). Multivariate analysis identified T-ALL, Ph-negative B-ALL, and measurable residual disease associated with a higher relapse risk. The 5-year cumulative incidence of non-relapsed mortality (NRM) was significantly lower with TTB (12% [95% CI, 5-20]) compared to TBI (25% [95% CI, 18-33]) (P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis found TBI conditioning, older age, and advanced stages of ALL at transplantation associated with a higher NRM. No statistical difference was seen in overall survival (49% [95% CI, 40-58] and 46% [95% CI, 35-60]) in the TBI and TTB groups, respectively; P = 0.9). The study suggests that TTB-based conditioning may be a promising option for ALL patients undergoing allo-HSCT, as it resulted in similar OS and lower NRM than TBI-based conditioning.

Abstract
In the general population, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and SARS-CoV-2 are considered the most severe community-acquired respiratory viruses (CARVs). However, allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) recipients may also face severe courses from other CARVs. This retrospective study compared outcomes of various CARV lower respiratory tract diseases (LRTD) in 235 adult allo-SCT recipients, excluding co-infection episodes. We included 235 adults allo-SCT recipients experiencing 353 CARV LRTD consecutive episodes (130 rhinovirus, 63 respiratory syncytial virus, 43 influenza, 43 human parainfluenza virus, 23 human metapneumovirus, 19 Omicron SARS-CoV-2, 17 common coronavirus, 10 adenovirus and 5 human bocavirus) between December 2013 and June 2023. Day 100 overall survival ranged from 78% to 90% without significant differences among CARV types. Multivariable analysis of day 100 all-cause mortality identified corticosteroid use of >1 to <30 mg/d [Hazard ratio (HR) 2.45, p = 0.02) and ≥30 mg/d (HR 2.20, p = 0.015) along with absolute lymphocyte count <0.2 × 109/L (HR 5.82, p < 0.001) and number of CARV episodes as a continuous variable per one episode increase (HR 0.48, p = 0.001) as independent risk factors for all-cause mortality. Degree of immunosuppression, rather than intrinsic CARV virulence, has the most significant impact on mortality in allo-SCT recipients with CARV-LRTD.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivations cause significant morbidity in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is associated with an increased risk of CMV infections. Data are limited comparing HSCT with PTCy performed from matched sibling donors (MSDs), matched unrelated donors (MUDs), and haploidentical (Haplo) donors. In the present study, we aimed to characterize CMV reactivation and recurrence in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing HSCT from MSD, MUD, and Haplo donors using PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis in the pre-letermovir era. We also analyzed risk factors of CMV reactivation, including GVHD as a time-dependent variable, on the incidence and mortality associated with CMV infections. We analyzed CMV reactivation in patients undergoing HSCT from 160 MSDs, 124 MUDs, and 82 Haplo donors from a single institution. Uniform GVHD prophylaxis with PTCy, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil was given irrespective of donor type. Overall, 46% of patients had at least 1 CMV reactivation. The 1-year cumulative incidence of CMV infection was 39% for MSD, 44% for MUD, and 62% for Haplo donors (P < .001), with 96% of reactivations occurring before day +100. Multivariate analysis identified factors associated with the first CMV reactivation, including Haplo donor, positive recipient CMV serology, older patient age, and grade II-IV acute GVHD. The 1-year cumulative incidence of second reactivation from HSCT was 13%. Recipient CMV seropositivity, older patient age, and grade II-IV acute GVHD, but not type of donor, were identified as adverse factors for second CMV reactivation in multivariate analysis. The 1-year cumulative incidence of a third reactivation post HSCT was 4.4%. Ten cases of CMV disease were recorded, with no attributable deaths. Nevertheless, the risk for nonrelapse mortality was greater for patients who experienced CMV reactivation in multivariate time-dependent Cox model analysis. CMV reactivation is frequent in HSCT with PTCy in patients not receiving letermovir prophylaxis. Identified risk factors include the use of a Haplo donor, recipient CMV seropositivity, and grade II-IV acute GVHD. The prevalence of recurrent CMV reactivations is a noteworthy issue, especially after acute GVHD, warranting trials of secondary prophylaxis strategies.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains the sole available curative treatment for Fanconi anemia (FA), with particularly favorable outcomes reported after matched sibling donor (MSD) HCT. This study aimed to describe outcomes, with a special focus on late complications, of FA patients who underwent umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). In this retrospective analysis of allogeneic UCBT for FA performed between 1988 and 2021 in European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT)-affiliated centers, a total of 205 FA patients underwent UCBT (55 related and 150 unrelated) across 77 transplant centers. Indications for UCBT were bone marrow failure in 190 patients and acute leukemia/myelodysplasia in 15 patients. The median age at transplantation was 9 years (range, 1.2 to 43 years), with only 20 patients aged >18 years. Among the donor-recipient pairs, 56% (n = 116) had a 0 to 1/6 HLA mismatch. Limited-field radiotherapy was administered to 28% (n = 58) and 78% (n = 160) received a fludarabine (Flu)-based conditioning regimen. Serotherapy consisted of antithymocyte globulin (n = 159; 78%) or alemtuzumab (n = 12; 6%). The median follow-up was 10 years for related UCBT and 7 years for unrelated UCBT. Excellent outcomes were observed in the setting of related UCBT, including a 60-day cumulative incidence (CuI) of neutrophil recovery of 98.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 93.9% to 100%), a 100-day CuI of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) of 17.3% (95% CI, 9.5% to 31.6%), and a 5-year CuI of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) of 22.7% (95% CI, 13.3% to 38.7%; 13% extensive). Five-year overall survival (OS) was 88%. In multivariate analysis, none of the factors included in the model predicted a better OS. In unrelated UCBT, the 60-day CuI of neutrophil recovery was 78.7% (95% CI, 71.9% to 86.3%), the 100-day CuI of grade II-IV aGVHD was 31.4% (95% CI, 24.6% to 40.2%), and the 5-year CuI of cGVHD was 24.3% (95% CI, 17.8% to 32.2%; 12% extensive). Five-year OS was 44%. In multivariate analysis, negative recipient cytomegalovirus serology, Flu-based conditioning, age <9 years at UCBT, and 0 to 1/6 HLA mismatch were associated with improved OS. A total of 106 patients, including 5 with acute leukemia/myelodysplasia, survived for >2 years after UCBT. Nine of these patients developed subsequent neoplasms (SNs), including 1 donor-derived acute myelogenous leukemia and 8 solid tumors, at a median of 9.7 years (range, 2.3 to 21.8 years) post-UCBT (1 related and 8 unrelated UCBT). In a subset of 49 patients with available data, late nonmalignant complications affecting various organ systems were observed at a median of 8.7 years (range, 2.7 to 28.8 years) post-UCBT. UCB is a valid source of stem cells for transplantation in patients with FA, with the best results observed after related UCBT. After unrelated UCBT, improved survival was observed in patients who underwent transplantation at a younger age, with Flu-based conditioning, and with better HLA parity. The incidence of organ-specific complications and SNs was relatively low. The incidence of SNs, mostly squamous cell carcinoma, increases with time. Rigorous follow-up and lifelong screening are crucial in survivors of UCBT for FA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This retrospective study focused on analyzing community-acquired respiratory virus (CARV) infections, in particular human parainfluenza virus (hPIV) after allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) in adults recipients. It aimed to assess the impact of ribavirin treatment, clinical characteristics, and risk factors associated with lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) progression and all-cause mortality. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 230 allo-SCT recipients diagnosed with hPIV between December 2013 and June 2023. Risk factors for the development of LRTD, disease severity, and mortality were analyzed. Ribavirin treatment was administered at physician discretion in 61 out of 230 cases (27%). RESULTS Risk factors for LRTD progression in multivariate analysis were corticosteroids > 30 mg/day (Odds ratio (OR) 3.5, 95% Confidence Interval (C.I.) 1.3-9.4, p = 0.013), fever at the time of hPIV detection (OR 3.89, 95% C.I. 1.84-8.2, p < 0.001), and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) < 0.2 × 109/L (OR 4.1, 95% C.I. 1.42-11.9, p = 0.009). In addition, the study found that ribavirin therapy significantly reduced progression to LRTD [OR 0.19, 95% C.I. 0.05-0.75, p = 0.018]. Co-infections (OR 5.7, 95% C.I. 1.4-23.5, p = 0.015) and ALC < 0.2 × 109/L (OR 17.7, 95% C.I. 3.6-87.1, p < 0.001) were independently associated with higher day + 100 after hPIV detection all-cause mortality. There were no significant differences in all-cause mortality and infectious mortality at day + 100 between the treated and untreated groups. CONCLUSION ALC, corticosteroids, and fever increased the risk for progression to LRTD while ribavirin decreased the risk. However, mortality was associated with ALC and co-infections. This study supports further research of ribavirin therapy for hPIV in the allo-HSCT setting.

Abstract
Selecting the most suitable alternative donor becomes challenging in severe aplastic anemia (SAA) when a matched sibling donor (MSD) is unavailable. We compared outcomes in SAA patients undergoing SCT from matched unrelated donors (MUD, n=1106), mismatched unrelated donors (MMUD, n=340), and haploidentical donors (Haplo, n=206) registered in the EBMT database (2012-2021). For Haplo-SCT, only those receiving post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis were included. Median age was 20 years, and the median time from diagnosis to transplantation 8.7 months. Compared to MUD, MMUD (HR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.52-5.6) and Haplo (HR, 5.15; 95% CI, 2.5-10.58) showed significantly higher risks of primary graft failure. MUD had lower rates of acute GVHD compared to MMUD and Haplo, grade II-IV (13%, 22%, and 19%, respectively, p<0.001) and III-IV (5%, 9%, and 7%, respectively, p=0.028). The 3-year non-relapse mortality was 14% for MUD, 19% for MMUD, and 27% for Haplo (p<0.001), while overall survival (OS) and GVHD and relapse-free survival (GRFS) were 81% and 73% for MUD, 74% and 65% for MMUD, and 63% and 54% for Haplo, respectively (p<0.001). In addition to donor type, multivariable analysis identified other factors like patient age, performance status, and interval between diagnosis and transplant associated with GRFS. For SAA patients lacking an MSD, our findings support MUD transplantation as the preferable alternative donor. However, selecting between a MMUD or Haplo donor remains uncertain and requires further exploration.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the kinetics of immune recovery following umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in adults who received a myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen and antithymocyte globulin (ATG). While the immune recovery kinetics has been extensively studied in pediatric UCBT recipients, limited data exist for adults. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of 221 consecutive adult patients who underwent UCBT with MAC and ATG at a single institution. Our objective was to evaluate the influence of patient, disease, and transplant factors, along with acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), on immune reconstitution and overall survival. Our findings confirm a delayed recovery of T cells, while B and NK cell reconstitution exhibited rapid progress, with NK cell counts reaching normal levels within 3 months post-transplantation and B cells within 6 months. Within CD3+ T cells, CD8+ T cells also experienced a delayed recovery (12 months), but to a lesser extent compared to CD4+ T cells (18 months). Delayed immune recovery of T-cell subsets was associated with the development of aGVHD grade II-IV, older age, CMV negativity, and a female donor. Patients with lymphoproliferative diseases showed slower NK cell recovery. Our study demonstrates that adult patients undergoing MAC with ATG and receiving a single unit UCBT for hematologic malignancies experienced rapid reconstitution of NK and B cells. However, T cell recovery, particularly CD4+ T cells, was significantly delayed. To enhance T cell recovery, it may be crucial to consider UCB units with higher cellularity and optimize ATG doses in conditioning.

Abstract
There is a paucity of information on how to select the most appropriate unrelated donor (UD) in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). We retrospectively analyzed the characteristics of 10/10 matched unrelated donors (MUD) and 9/10 mismatched unrelated donors (MMUD) that may affect transplant outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first or second complete remission (CR1 or CR2). The primary endpoint was leukemia-free survival (LFS). Overall, 1011 patients were included with a median age of 54 years (range, 18-77). Donors had a median age of 29 years (range, 18-64); 304 (30%) were females of which 150 (15% of whole group) were donors to male recipients, and 621 (61%) were MUDs; 522 (52%) had negative cytomegalovirus (CMV-neg) serostatus of which 189 (19%) were used for CMV-neg recipients. Donor age older than 30 years had a negative impact on relapse (HR 1.38; 95% CI 1.06-1.8), LFS (HR 1.4; 95% CI 1.12-1.74), overall survival (HR 1.45; 95% CI 1.14-1.85) and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (HR 1.29; 95% CI 1.07-1.56). Additionally, CMV-neg donor for CMV-neg recipient was associated with improved LFS (HR 0.74; 95% CI 0.55-0.99). The use of MMUD and female donors for male recipients did not significantly impact any transplant outcomes. For patients undergoing HSCT from an UD with PTCy for AML, donor age < 30 years significantly improves survival. In this context, donor age might be prioritized over HLA match considerations. In addition, CMV neg donors are preferable for CMV neg recipients. However, further research is needed to validate and refine these recommendations.

Abstract
Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has emerged as a promising approach for preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, there is a lack of studies examining the impact of this GVHD prophylaxis when different donor types are used in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). This study compared the outcomes of patients with HL undergoing HSCT from HLA-matched donors, including matched sibling donors (MSDs) and matched unrelated donors (MUDs), and haploidentical donors, using PTCy as the GVHD prophylaxis approach in all cohorts. We retrospectively compared outcomes of allo-HSCT from 166 HLA-matched donors (96 sibling and 70 unrelated donors) and 694 haploidentical donors using PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis in patients with HL registered in the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation database from 2010 to 2020. Compared to HLA-matched HSCT, haploidentical donor HSCT was associated with a significantly lower rate of platelet engraftment (86% versus 94%; P < .001) and a higher rate of grade II-IV acute GVHD (34% versus 24%; P = .01). The 2-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was significantly lower in the HLA-matched cohort compared to the haploidentical cohort (10% versus 18%; P = .02), resulting in a higher overall survival (OS) rate (82% versus 70%; P = .002). There were no significant differences between the 2 cohorts in terms of relapse, progression-free survival, or GVHD-free relapse-free survival. In multivariable analysis, haploidentical HSCT was associated with an increased risk of grade II-IV acute GVHD and NRM and worse OS compared to HLA-matched HSCT. Our findings suggest that in the context of PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis, transplantation from HLA-matched donors appears to be a more favorable option compared to haploidentical HSCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) epidemiology, clinical characteristics and risk factors for poor outcome after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remain a poorly investigated area. METHODS This retrospective multicenter cohort study examined the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and risk factors for poor outcomes associated with human metapneumovirus (hMPV) infections in recipients of allo-HCT. RESULTS We included 428 allo-HCT recipients who developed 438 hMPV infection episodes between January 2012 and January 2019. Most recipients were adults (93%). hMPV infections were diagnosed at a median of 373 days after allo-HCT. The infections were categorized as upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) or lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD), with 60% and 40% of cases, respectively. Patients with hMPV LRTD experienced the infection earlier in the transplant course and had higher rates of lymphopenia, neutropenia, corticosteroid use, and ribavirin therapy. Multivariate analysis identified lymphopenia and corticosteroid use (>30 mg/d) as independent risk factors for LRTD occurrence. The overall mortality at day 30 after hMPV detection was 2% for URTD, 12% for possible LRTD, and 21% for proven LRTD. Lymphopenia was the only independent risk factor associated with day 30 mortality in LRTD cases. CONCLUSIONS These findings highlight the significance of lymphopenia and corticosteroid use in the development and severity of hMPV infections after allo-HCT, with lymphopenia being a predictor of higher mortality in LRTD cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergic disease affects up to 40% of the global adult population, a proportion that is increasing with environmental changes related to global warming. METHODS We undertook a systematic review of the literature to identify and evaluate the current evidence of the impact of climate change-related environmental factors on the allergen production and the epidemiology and severity of allergic pathologies. PECO criteria were established and guided the literature searches of the PubMed and Cochrane databases (Jan 1, 2016 to Dec 31, 2021). Study outcomes were categorized and grouped to facilitate data synthesis. Outcomes were classified as significant (statistical significance <0.05), non-significant (p>0.05) or undetermined (p value not reported). Study quality was assessed using MMAT analysis. RESULTS Of 195 studies, 40 were considered relevant and 9 of them provided data to be included in the data quantitative synthesis. Environmental factors, including the presence of pollutants, temperature, and drought, influenced the type, volume, and timing of exposure to local aeroallergens. The most relevant environmental factor was the presence of environmental pollutants, of which tropospheric ozone was the most frequently associated to changes in allergen production, prevalence, and severity of allergic disease. Also, several publications demonstrated the impact of environmental factors on the healthcare burden. CONCLUSIONS Climate-change related environmental factors increased allergic disease in terms of prevalence, severity, and healthcare burden due to alterations in allergen exposure (volume and type) with the presence of pollutants such as ozone being the most commonly reported driver of such increase.

Abstract
Torque Teno Virus (TTV) is a single-stranded circular DNA virus which has been identified as a surrogate marker of immune competence in transplantation. In this study we investigated the dynamics of plasma TTV DNAemia in 79 adult patients undergoing chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy for relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma, also evaluating the impact of TTV on immunotoxicities, response and survival outcomes. After lymphodepleting therapy, TTV DNA load was found to decrease slightly until reaching nadir around day 10, after which it increased steadily until reaching maximum load around day 90. TTV DNA load < 4.05 log10 copies/ml at immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) onset identified patients at risk of progressing to severe forms of ICANS (OR 16.68, P = 0.048). Finally, patients who experienced falling or stable TTV DNA load between lymphodepletion and CAR-T infusion had better progression-free survival than those with ascending TTV DNA load (HR 0.31, P = 0.006). These findings suggest that TTV monitoring could serve as a surrogate marker of immune competence, enabling predictions of CAR-T efficacy and toxicity. This could pave the way for the development of TTV-guided therapeutic strategies that modulate clinical patient management based on plasma TTV load, similar to suggested strategies in solid organ transplant recipients.

Abstract
Infection is a common complication in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). The usefulness of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) and hospital-acquired infection control (HAIC) initiatives in the general inpatient population is well established. We performed a quasi-experimental study to evaluate a joint ASP/HAIC initiative focused on KTRs. A dedicated ASP team optimized antimicrobial prescriptions in consecutive KTRs during the intervention period (June 2015-March 2016). A multifaceted, evidence-based HAIC program was concurrently implemented. Results were compared with the preceding period (June 2014-March 2015). We included 96 and 100 KTRs in the intervention and preintervention periods, respectively. There was a reduction in the consumption of meropenem (rate ratio [RR]: 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.53-0.75; P <.0001), ceftazidime (RR: 0.31; 95% CI: 0.21-0.45; P <.0001), vancomycin (RR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.53-0.8; P <.0001), and ciprofloxacin (RR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.55-0.81; P <.0001) and an increase of fosfomycin (RR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.17-2.76; P =.008) during the intervention period. The incidence of cystitis (RR: 0.30; 95% CI: 0.28-0.33; P <.001) and upper urinary tract infection (RR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.33-0.95; P =.04) decreased. A specific ASP/HAIC initiative was effective in optimizing antimicrobial use and reducing the incidence of common bacterial infections among KTRs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review highlights recent advancements in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). RECENT FINDINGS Important improvements have been observed throughout the allo-HSCT procedure and patient management. Universal donor availability and reduced risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) have been achieved with the introduction of posttransplant cyclophosphamide for GVHD prophylaxis. It has contributed, together with advances in conditioning regimens, GVHD treatment and supportive care, to a reduced overall toxicity of the procedure. Relapse is now the most frequent cause of transplant failure. With increased knowledge of the biological characterization of AML, better prediction of transplant risks and more profound and standardized minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring, pharmacological, and immunological strategies to prevent relapse are been developed. SUMMARY Allo-HSCT remains the standard of care for high-risk AML. Increased access to transplant, reduced toxicity and relapse are improving patient outcomes. Further research is needed to optimize MRD monitoring, refine conditioning regimens, and explore new GVHD management and relapse prevention therapies.

Abstract
We retrospectively compared the impact of the conditioning regimen in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1) that received high-dose myeloablative chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) from 2010 to 2021 with either high-dose cytarabine, etoposide and busulfan (BEA), busulfan with cyclophosphamide (BUCY) or busulfan and high-dose melphalan (BUMEL) registered in the EBMT database. Overall 1560 patients underwent ASCT, of which 156, 1143 and 261 received BEA, BUCY and BUMEL, respectively. Compared to BUCY and BUMEL, BEA patients were younger (p < 0.001) and less frequently had NPM1 mutations (p = 0.03). Transplant outcomes at 5 years with BEA, BUCY and BUMEL were: cumulative incidence of relapse 41.8%, 46.6% and 51.6%; non-relapse mortality (NRM) 1.5%, 5.2% and 7.3%; probability of leukemia-free survival (LFS) 56.7%, 48.2% and 41.1%; and overall survival (OS) 71.3%, 62.3% and 56%, respectively. In multivariable analysis the BEA regimen showed significant improvement in OS compared to BUCY (hazard ratio [HR] 0.65; 95% CI, 0.42-0.83; p = 0.048) and BUMEL (HR 0.59; 95% CI, 0.37-0.94; p = 0.029). In conclusion, high-dose myeloablative combination chemotherapy with BEA offered improved outcomes compared to classical BUCY or BUMEL in patients with AML in CR1 undergoing ASCT.

Abstract
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), including cyclosporine and tacrolimus, are frequently associated with neurologic complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, there is a lack of studies comparing the incidence and characteristics of neurologic complications in patients undergoing HSCT based on CNI-free or CNI-based GVHD prophylaxis. This retrospective single-center study analyzed the neurologic complications in 2 cohorts of patients undergoing HSCT with either CNI-based GVHD prophylaxis (n = 523) or CNI-free prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil (n = 371). The latter cohort included older patients and received more reduced-intensity conditioning and transplants from matched unrelated and haploidentical donors. The 2-year cumulative incidence of neurologic complications was significantly lower in the CNI-free cohort (6.9% versus 11.9%; P = .016), and GVHD prophylaxis was the sole statistically significant variable in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 2.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], .25 to 3.13; P = .0017). The distribution of neurologic types was similar in the 2 cohorts, with encephalopathy the most prevalent complication, except for headaches and myopathy, which decreased equally from 15% in the CNI-based cohort to 4% in the CNI-free cohort. Neurologic complications had negative impacts on mortality and survival rates, with a significantly higher 2-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) (44% [95% CI, 34% to 54%] versus 16% [95% CI, 13% to 18%]; P < .0001) and inferior overall survival (66% [95% CI, 62% to 69%] versus 46% [95% CI, 37% to 58%]; P < .0001) in patients with neurologic complications. This study suggests that CNI-free GVHD prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil may reduce not only the incidence of GVHD incidence, but also the rates of neurologic complications and NRM, leading to improved survival outcomes in patients undergoing HSCT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transfusion plays a main role in supportive treatment for patients who receive an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In this study, we compare the transfusion requirements of patients undergoing different modalities of HSCT according to different time periods. The objective is to assess the evolution of HSCT transfusion requirements over time, from a single institution. METHODS The clinical charts and transfusion records of patients who underwent HSCT of different modalities at La Fe University Hospital during a twelve-year period were reviewed (2009-2020). For analysis, we divided the overall time into three periods: 1 from 2009 to 2012, 2 from 2013 to 2016 and 3 from 2017 to 2020. The study included 855 consecutive adult HSCT: 358 HLA-matched related donors (MRD), 134 HLA-matched unrelated donors (MUD), 223 umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and 140 haploidentical transplants (Haplo-HSCT). RESULTS There were no significant differences in RBC and PLT requirements or transfusion independence among the three time periods for MUD and Haplo-HSCT. However, the transfusion burden increased significantly for MRD HSCT during the 2017-2020 period. CONCLUSION despite HSCT modalities having evolved and changed over time, overall transfusion requirements have not significantly decreased and continue to be a cornerstone of transplantation-supportive care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is scarce information on the natural kinetics of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNAemia and dynamics of CMV-specific T-cell reconstitution in allogeneic hematopoietic transplant recipients (allo-HSCT) undergoing letermovir (LMV) prophylaxis. METHODS Twelve adult CMV-seropositive high-risk recipients (median age, 53 years; 9 males/3 females) undergoing LMV prophylaxis and 13 non-LMV allo-HSCT controls (median age, 58 years; 7 males/6 females) were included. CMV DNAemia in plasma was monitored by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Preemptive antiviral therapy (PET) was administered upon detection of ≥1500 IU/ml. CMV-specific interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)-producing CD8+ and CD4+ T cells were enumerated by flow cytometry around days +30, +60, and +90 after allo-HSCT. Ex vivo experiments assessing of the potential effect of LMV on CMV-specific T-cell expansion in a single CMV-seropositive donor were also conducted. RESULTS Five LMV patients (41.6%) developed CMV DNAemia that cleared spontaneously. Four patients (33.3%) developed CMV DNAemia after LMV cessation, of which two required PET. Nine non-LMV patients (69.2%) developed CMV DNAemia (five required PET). The percentage of LMV and non-LMV patients exhibiting detectable CMV-specific T-cell responses was comparable (7/10 vs. 10/13; p = .71). Nevertheless, median CMV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell counts were lower in LMV patients by days +60 (p = .006 and .02, respectively) and +90 (p = .08 and .02). Ex vivo, CMV-specific CD8+ T cells expanded to the same level either in the presence (19.8%) or in the absence of LMV (20.6%). CONCLUSIONS In our series, episodes of CMV DNAemia in LMV patients cleared spontaneously. A diminished degree of CMV-specific T-cell reconstitution in LMV patients compared to non-LMV patients was observed.

Abstract
Bone marrow (BM) is the recommended stem cell source for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from matched sibling donors (MSDs) in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) for its superior survival and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) outcomes compared to recipients of unmanipulated peripheral blood (PB) HSCT. Nevertheless, no studies comparing BM with ex vivo T cell-depleted (TCD) PB have been reported to date. The aim of the present study was to compare the transplantation outcomes of MSD HSCT recipients with SAA using PB (with partial ex vivo TCD targeted cell dose grafts) with those of MSD HSCT recipients with SAA using unmanipulated BM. We performed a matched-pair analysis of MSD-HSCT using TCD PB in a single institution with unmanipulated BM MSD-HSCT in the United States between 2013 and 2019 reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. We compared 23 recipients of TCD PB HSCT for SAA (cases) and 69 recipients of unmanipulated BM grafts (controls) matched for age, Karnofsky Performance Status, Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index, time from diagnosis to transplantation, and recipient cytomegalovirus serostatus. We found significantly faster neutrophil and platelet recovery in the TCD PB cohort (P < .001 and P = .03, respectively), as well as a lower incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD (0% versus 17%; P = .05) and similar overall survival (96% versus 97% at 3 years; P = .8). Our study shows that TCD PB can be considered a safe source for MSD-HSCT in patients with SAA, with potential advantages in engraftment and GVHD that could challenge the standard with BM. These findings provide a basis for future research in a prospective controlled clinical trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressurised metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) exert some environmental impact due to their effect on CO2 emissions. There are other therapeutic alternatives with less environmental impact that are being widely used. Nevertheless, the choice of the device and the appropriate therapy should answer the clinical needs and the characteristics of the patient. OBJECTIVE The primary objective was to estimate the impact of pMDIs, prescribed for any indication, on annual CO2 emissions in Spain. Secondly, we aimed to evaluate the potential impact of switching pMDIs to dry-powder inhalers (DPIs) in patients with asthma. METHODS Systematic review of the evidence published between 2010-2021 was carried out. Average annual CO2 emissions of DPIs and pMDIs were calculated in two scenarios: present and a hypothetical situation involving a switch from all pMDIs to DPIs. The impact of the switch on clinical outcomes was also evaluated. RESULTS The total value of CO2-eq/year due to DPIs and pMDIs accounts for 0.0056% and 0.0909%, respectively, of total emissions in Spain. In the event of a conversion of all pMDIs to DPIs, except those for rescue medication, these percentages would be 0.0076% and 0.0579%. The evaluation of efficacy, handling, satisfaction, safety and healthcare resources utilization was not conclusive. CONCLUSIONS Current CO2 emissions derived from pMDIs account for a small percentage of the total CO2 footprint in Spain. Nevertheless, there is a need for research into new and more sustainable devices. Suitability and patient clinical criteria such as age or inspiratory flow should be prioritised at inhaler prescription.

Abstract
Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis is being increasingly used in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from HLA-matched related donors (MRDs); however, information regarding the transfusion needs in this setting is lacking. This study compared RBC and platelet units transfused and time to transfusion independence according to the GVHD prophylaxis regimen in MRD HSCT. We performed a matched-pair analysis comparing the transfusion requirements and the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent MRD peripheral blood HSCT using PTCy between January 2017 and June 2021 (n = 100) with historical MRD HSCTs using standard cyclosporine A (CsA)-based prophylaxis (n = 100). Neutrophil engraftment was significantly delayed in the PTCy group compared with the CsA group (16 days versus 13 days; P = .003). PTCy was associated with increased RBC (median, 5 units versus 4 units; P = .04) and platelet (median, 6 units versus 3 units; P = .01) transfusion requirements during the first 30 days after transplantation. The proportion of patients requiring platelet transfusion during days 31 to 90 after transplantation was also higher in the PTCy group (55% versus 25%; P < .0001). In multivariate analysis, PTCy was associated with delayed RBC and platelet transfusion independence (hazard ratio, .61 [P = .007] and .51 [P < .0001], respectively). The cumulative incidence (CuI) of BK polyomavirus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis grade ≥2 at 100 days was higher in the PTCy group (34% versus 12%; P < .0001); however, the PTCy group had lower rates of grade II-IV acute GVHD (100-day CuI, 57% versus 23%; P < .0001) and moderate to severe chronic GVHD (1-year CuI, 49% versus 28%; P = .003), as well as better 2-year overall survival (74% versus 56%; P = .01). Our study shows that although PTCy increases the transfusion burden in MRD HSCT, it is associated with a low incidence of severe GVHD and with encouraging survival outcomes.

Abstract
Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has emerged as a promising graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, no studies have reported the efficacy of a GvHD prophylaxis based on PTCy with sirolimus (Sir-PTCy) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this retrospective study, we analyze the use of sirolimus in combination with PTCy, with or without mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), on 242 consecutive adult patients with AML undergoing a myeloablative first allo-HSCT from different donor types, in three European centers between January 2017 and December 2020. Seventy-seven (32%) patients received allo-HSCT from HLA-matched sibling donor, 101 (42%) from HLA-matched and mismatched unrelated donor, and 64 (26%) from haploidentical donor. Except for neutrophil and platelet engraftment, which was slower in the haploidentical cohort, no significant differences were observed in major transplant outcomes according to donor type in univariate and multivariate analysis. GvHD prophylaxis with Sir-PTCy, with or without MMF, is safe and effective in patients with AML undergoing myeloablative allo-HSCT, resulting in low rates of transplant-related mortality, relapse/progression, and acute and chronic GvHD in all donor settings.

Abstract
Allo-SCT is a curative option for selected patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL, but with significant NRM. We present the long-term results of patients receiving allo-SCT in Spain from March 1995 to February 2020. The primary endpoints were EFS, OS, and cumulative incidence (CI) of NRM, relapse, and GVHD. We included 135 patients, most (85%) receiving RIC. After a median follow-up of 68 months, 5-year EFS and OS were 47 and 50%, respectively. Overall and CR rates were 86 and 80%. The CI of relapse at 1 and 3 years were 7 and 12%. NRM at day 100 and 1 year were 17 and 32%. Previous ASCT and Grade 3–4 aGVHD were associated with a higher NRM. Grade 3–4 aGVHD, donor type (mismatch non-related), and the time-period 2006–2020 were independently related to worse EFS. Patients from 1995–2005 were younger, most from HLA-identical sibling donors, and were pretreated less. Our data confirmed that allo-SCT may be a curative option in R/R MCL with low a CI of relapse, although NRM is still high, being mainly secondary to aGVHD. The arrival of new, highly effective and low toxic immunotherapeutic or targeted therapies inevitably will relegate allo-SCT to those fit patients who fail these therapies, far away from the optimal timing of treatment.

Abstract
Background The clinical efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines according to antibody response in immunosuppressed patients such as hematological patients has not yet been established. Patients and methods A prospective multicenter registry-based cohort study conducted from December 2020 to December 2021 by the Spanish transplant and cell therapy group was used to analyze the relationship of antibody response at 3–6 weeks after full vaccination (2 doses) with breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection in 1394 patients with hematological disorders. Results At a median follow-up of 165 days after complete immunization, 37 out of 1394 (2.6%) developed breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection at median of 77 days (range 7–195) after full vaccination. The incidence rate was 6.39 per 100 persons-year. Most patients were asymptomatic (19/37, 51.4%), whereas only 19% developed pneumonia. The mortality rate was 8%. Lack of detectable antibodies at 3–6 weeks after full vaccination was the only variable associated with breakthrough infection in multivariate logistic regression analysis (Odds Ratio 2.35, 95% confidence interval 1.2–4.6, p = 0.012). Median antibody titers were lower in cases than in non-cases [1.83 binding antibody units (BAU)/mL (range 0–4854.93) vs 730.81 BAU/mL (range 0–56,800), respectively (p = 0.007)]. We identified 250 BAU/mL as a cutoff above which incidence and severity of the infection were significantly lower. Conclusions Our study highlights the benefit of developing an antibody response in these highly immunosuppressed patients. Level of antibody titers at 3 to 6 weeks after 2-dose vaccination links with protection against both breakthrough infection and severe disease for non-Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Abstract
This is a multicenter prospective observational study that included a large cohort (n = 397) of allogeneic (allo‐HSCT; (n = 311) and autologous (ASCT) hematopoietic stem cell transplant (n = 86) recipients who were monitored for antibody detection within 3–6 weeks after complete severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) vaccination from February 1, 2021, to July 20, 2021. Most patients (n = 387, 97.4%) received mRNA‐based vaccines. Most of the recipients (93%) were vaccinated more than 1 year after transplant. Detectable SARS‐CoV‐2‐reactive antibodies were observed in 242 (78%) of allo‐HSCT and in 73 (85%) of ASCT recipients. Multivariate analysis in allo‐HSCT recipients identified lymphopenia < 1 × 109/ml (odds ratio [OR] 0.33, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.16–0.69, p = .003), active graft versus host disease (GvHD; OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.27–0.98, p = .04) and vaccination within the first year of transplant (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.15–0.9, p = .04) associated with lower antibody detection whereas. In ASCT, non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL; OR 0.09, 95% CI 0.02–0.44, p = .003) and active corticosteroid therapy (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.02–0.87, p = .03) were associated with lower detection rate. We report an encouraging rate of SARS‐CoV‐2‐reactive antibodies detection in these severe immunocompromised patients. Lymphopenia, GvHD, the timing of vaccine, and NHL and corticosteroids therapy should be considered in allo‐HSCT and ASCT, respectively, to identify candidates for SARS‐CoV‐2 antibodies monitoring.

Abstract
The poor prognosis of refractory or relapsed (R/R) classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) after autologous stem cell transplantation has improved greatly due to the introduction of brentuximab vedotin and PD-1 inhibitors. However, the duration of response achieved with these novel agents is too short. The information about the management of patients after anti-PD-1 therapy failure is very limited in cHL, although chemotherapy alone or combined with PD-1 inhibitors has shown encouraging results. We report three cases of heavily pretreated cHL, refractory to nivolumab monotherapy, successfully rescued with the addition of chemotherapy to nivolumab, as a bridge to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). All three patients presented poor clinical features such as three to four previous lines including brentuximab vedotin and autologous stem cell transplantation, refractoriness to the last line of therapy previous to nivolumab, and rapid disease progression. Notwithstanding these characteristics and nivolumab failure, they achieved a complete response after the addition of chemotherapy, were consolidated with allo-SCT, and still remain in complete response. There are few studies concerning the combination of PD-1 inhibitors and chemotherapy after nivolumab failure, including one retrospective study and one phase II trial with nivolumab plus bendamustine. Therefore, only few patients are consolidated with allo-SCT. However, there are several ongoing trials investigating new combinations of chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitors in R/R cHL, as well as in first line. All these data suggest that anti-PD-1 therapy may reprogram the immune system, activating and inhibiting effector and immunosuppressive cells, respectively, leading to overtake of chemorefractoriness. Allo-SCT can increase the immune-related events of patients treated with anti-PD-1 previously, consistent on acute graft-versus-host disease, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, and noninfectious febrile syndrome. In conclusion, the combination of PD-1 inhibitor and chemotherapy may be a feasible therapy after anti-PD-1 treatment failure as a bridge to allo-SCT.

Abstract
It is uncertain whether gastrointestinal (GI) infection caused by viral and bacterial pathogens may predispose to gastrointestinal acute Graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD-GI) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (allo-HSCT). We investigated the potential association between detection of enteropathogenic viruses or bacteria in stools and subsequent occurrence of aGvHD-GI in a cohort of 121 allo-HSCT patients. Eighty-six out of 121 patients (71%) had acute diarrhea and underwent screening for primary GI pathogens by molecular diagnostic methods. One or more GI pathogens were detected in 27 out of the 86 patients with diarrhea (31.3%). Specifically, Clostridioides difficile was found in 16 patients (18.6%), enteropathogenic viruses in 11 patients (12.7%) (Astrovirus, n = 4; Norovirus, n = 2; Sapovirus, n = 2; Adenovirus, n = 2; and Rotavirus, n = 1), and Campylobacter spp. in two patients (2.3%). Thirty patients were diagnosed with all grade aGvHD-GI by histopathology. Detection of primary GI pathogens was achieved in 12 out of 30 patients (Clostridium difficile, n = 5; enteric viruses, n = 8; Campylobacter spp., n = 1) who either subsequently developed (n = 9) or previously had (n = 3) grade I-IV IaGvHD (n = 9). Neither the detection of these microorganisms (all combined), enteric viruses, nor C. difficile was significantly associated with subsequent aGvHD-GI development in Cox models (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.11, p = .80; HR = 1.64, p = .62; HR = 0.75, p = .64, respectively). Analogous results were obtained when grade II-IV aGvHD-GI was selected as the clinical outcome. In summary, data in the current study did not support an association between GI infection and subsequent occurrence of aGvHD-GI in an unselected cohort of allo-HSCT recipients.

Abstract
Summary Objective. The association of allergic conjunctivitis (AC) with rhinitis and/or asthma is poorly understood. The objective of this study was to apply the Consensus Document for Allergic Conjunctivitis (DECA) criteria for the classification of AC to a population of patients with AC to assess the association between the severity and duration of AC and rhinitis and/or asthma. Methods. Patients with ocular symptoms of AC who participated in the 'Alergológica 2015' study were included. The demographics, classification according to the DECA criteria, etiology, and comorbidities were evaluated by age groups (less or equal than 14 and greater than 14 years). Results. A total of 2,914 patients (age range, 1-90 years) were included in the "Alergológica 2015" study. Of these, 965 patients (33.1%) were diagnosed with AC (77.5% > 14 years). AC was classified as severe, moderate, or mild in 1.8%, 46.4%, and 51.8%, respectively; and as intermittent or persistent in 51.6% and 48.4% of the patients. AC alone occurred in 4% of patients. AC was mainly associated with rhinitis (88.4%), asthma (38.2%), food allergy (8.3%) and atopic dermatitis (3.5%). In allergic respiratory disease rhinitis preceded AC and asthma developed later. The severity and duration of AC was significantly associated with severity and duration of rhinitis (p less than 0.001 for both age groups) and asthma (p less than 0.001 only in adults). Conclusions. The application of the new DECA classification for AC reveals a direct relationship between AC, rhinitis and asthma respect to severity and duration. These relationships suggest that AC should be considered an integral part of the "one airway, one disease" hypothesis.

Abstract
Torque Teno virus (TTV) DNA load in blood may act as a marker of immune competence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (allo-HSCT). Conflicting data have been reported as to the value of this biomarker for anticipating acute Graft versus host disease (aGvHD) occurrence. Here, we hypothesized that quantitation of TTV DNA load in stool specimens early after allo-HSCT could be used to identify patients at high risk of acute intestinal graft versus host disease (aIGvHD). In this prospective two-center study, we recruited a total of 83 nonconsecutive adult patients undergoing allo-HSCT. The study period comprised the first 120 days after allo-HSCT. TTV DNA was quantitated in paired stool samples collected at a median of 2 days prior to cell infusion and at a median of 14 days after allo-HSCT by real-time PCR. Thirty-seven patients developed aGVHD, of whom 25 had aIGVHD (diagnosed at a median of 42 days after allo-HSCT). Median TTV DNA load values in posttransplant stools specimens were comparable (P = .34) in patients with or without subsequent aIGvHD; nevertheless, a falling trajectory (decrease in TTV DNA load >0.5 log10 copies/0.1 g) in paired pretransplant and posttransplant specimens was independently associated with the occurrence of aIGvHD (OR, 5.2; 95% CI, 1.3-21.3; P = .02). Notably, displaying a rising trajectory had a negative predictive value of 87.5% for aIGvHD. In summary, in this hypothesis-generating study, we suggest that the decrease in TTV DNA load from baseline in stool specimens may identify patients at risk of aIGVHD.

Abstract
Sirolimus has emerged as an alternative to calcineurin inhibitors‐based (CNI) graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. This retrospective study compares the outcome of 133 consecutive adult patients with haematological malignancies undergoing haploidentical stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), combined with cyclosporine A (PTCy–CsA–MMF, n = 67) or sirolimus (PTCy–Sir–MMF, n = 66) as GVHD prophylaxis strategy. The median follow‐up was 48 (range 22–83) and 13 (range 3–33) months, respectively. PTCy–CsA–MMF was associated in multivariate analyses with a higher risk of acute kidney injury (HR 2.1, 95% CI, 1.21–3.57, p = .008) and thrombotic microangiopathy (HR 12.5, 95% CI, 1.66–93.5, p = .014), whereas PTCy–Sir–MMF was associated with a higher risk of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) (HR 10.8, 95% CI, 1.52–77, p = .018), especially late‐onset forms, which totally resolved and none of the patients needed discontinuation of sirolimus. Two SOS‐related deaths were detected, both in the PTCy–CsA–MMF subgroup. Both GVHD prophylaxis strategies were otherwise comparable in terms of engraftment, GVHD incidence and survival.

Abstract
Cellular and humoral response to acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infections is on focus of research. We evaluate herein the feasibility of expanding virus‐specific T cells (VST) against SARS‐CoV‐2 ex vivo through a standard protocol proven effective for other viruses. The experiment was performed in three different donors' scenarios: (a) SARS‐CoV‐2 asymptomatic infection/negative serology, (b) SARS‐CoV‐2 symptomatic infection/positive serology, and (c) no history of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection/negative serology. We were able to obtain an expanded VST product from donors 1 and 2 (1.6x and 1.8x increase of baseline VST count, respectively) consisting in CD3 + cells (80.3% and 62.7%, respectively) with CD4 + dominance (60% in both donors). Higher numbers of VST were obtained from the donor 2 as compared to donor 1. T‐cell clonality test showed oligoclonal reproducible peaks on a polyclonal background for both donors. In contrast, VST could be neither expanded nor primed in a donor without evidence of prior infection. This proof‐of‐concept study supports the feasibility of expanding ex vivo SARS‐CoV‐2‐specific VST from blood of convalescent donors. The results raise the question of whether the selection of seropositive donors may be a strategy to obtain cell lines enriched in their SARS‐CoV‐2‐specificity for future adoptive transfer to immunosuppressed patients.

Abstract
Despite advances in understanding the biology of mature T and natural killer (NK)/T cell neoplasia, current therapies, even the most innovative ones, are still far from ensuring its cure. The only treatment to date that has been shown to control aggressive T cell neoplasms in the long term is allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). We aim to report the results of alloSCT for advanced mature T and NK/T neoplasias performed in centers from our national GELTAMO/GETH (Grupo Español de Linfoma y Trasplante de Médula Ósea/Grupo Español de Trasplante Hematopoyético y Terapia Celular) over the past 25 years. As a secondary objective, we analyzed the results of alloSCT from haploidentical donors. We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients who received an alloSCT in Spanish centers (n = 201) from September 1995 to August 2018. The 2-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were 65.5% and 58.2%, respectively. The univariate for OS and DFS showed statistically different hazard ratios for conditioning intensity, response pre-alloSCT, comorbidity index, donor/receptor cytomegalovirus status and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) pre-alloSCT, but only a better ECOG pre-alloSCT remained significant in the multivariate analysis. There was an increased incidence of relapse in those patients who did not develop chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and an increased risk of death in those developing moderate to severe acute GVHD. The 1-year nonrelapse mortality was 21.9% and was mainly due to GVHD (30%) and bacterial infections (17%). When comparing unrelated donors with haploidentical donors, we found similar results in terms of OS and DFS. There was, however, a reduction of acute GVHD in the haploidentical group (P = .04) and trend to a reduction of chronic GVHD. In conclusion, alloSCT is the only curative option for most aggressive T cell neoplasias. Haploidentical donors offer similar results to related donors in terms of survival with a reduction of acute GVHD.

Abstract
There are many studies on the polymorphism of the HLA system in healthy donor populations, such as registries of unrelated bone marrow donors. Investigations on the characterization of the HLA complex in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients, however, are scarce, at least in the Spanish population. This study presents a large-scale analysis of allelic diversity and HLA distribution at a high-resolution level in 2886 patients undergoing HSCT in Spanish centres of the "Grupo Español de Trasplante Hematopoyético y Terapia Celular" during a period of 11 years. Allelic diversity analysis identified 67 HLA-A, 133 HLA-B, 60 HLA-C, 63 HLA-DRB1, 24 HLA-DQB1 and 27 HLA-DPB1 different alleles. Rare alleles were detected among which 33 alleles had not been reported in the European catalog of common and well-documented HLA alleles. Regarding the distribution of five genes-haplotypes, it was observed that the five most frequent extended haplotypes found in our population were between the most common in other Spanish populations, both in patients and in healthy subjects. However, some particular haplotypes were also detected. Bilocus associations HLA-C ~ B and -DRB1 ~ DQB1 were analyzed in order to predict the probability of finding 10/10 matched donors in registries. We found HLA-B alleles showing a great diversity of combinations with HLA-C alleles and unusual associations involving a negative predicting factor. In the field of adoptive therapies, our work supports the necessity to expand further research of TCR-engineered cells, adoptive transfer of virus-specific T-cells and vaccines to target HLA alleles other than A*02:01. HLA alleles such as A*01:01, A*03:01, A*24:02, B*44:03, B*07:02 or B*51:01, might be considered new targets due to its high frequency in our population.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in Epstein-Barr virus-related post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (EBV-PTLDs) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is poorly defined. We analyzed the incidence, clinical and pathological characteristics, and impact on outcomes of EBV-PTLDs with CNS involvement (CNS-PTLDs) in 1009 consecutive adult patients undergoing allo-HSCT at a single-center institution. Four hundred eighty-two patients received matched sibling donor (MSD) transplants, 388 umbilical cord blood transplants (UCBTs), 56 matched unrelated donor (MUD) transplants, and 83 haploidentical transplants. We detected 25 cases of biopsy-proven EBV-PTLDs. Of these, nine patients (36%) had CNS-PTLDs: six after UCBT (67%), one after MSD transplantation (11%), one after MUD transplantation (11%), and one after haploidentical transplantation (11%). The 5-year cumulative incidence risk of CNS-PTLDs was 0.9%. Median time from transplant to CNS-PTLDs was 187 days, and all patients had neurological symptoms at diagnosis. Six out of the nine cases (67%) occurred with systemic involvement, and three cases (33%) had isolated CNS involvement. The most frequent histological subtype was monomorphic EBV-PTLD, and laboratory characteristics were similar to EBV-PTLDs without CNS involvement. We observed statistical differences in the rate of positive EBV DNA detection in plasma between isolated CNS-PTLDs (detection in one out of three, 33%) and the rest of the EBV-PTLDs (100%) (P = .01). Treatment strategies included chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and T cell therapy. However, seven out of nine patients died due to progression of the CNS-PTLDs at a median time of 17 days (range, 8 to 163) from diagnosis. The 5-years overall survival in patients who developed CNS-PTLDs was 22% (95% confidence interval [CI], 7% to 75%) and 5-year treatment-related mortality was 78% (95% CI, 51% to 100%), with no statistically significant differences between CNS-PTLDs and the rest of the EBV-PTLDs. In conclusion, despite advances in EBV monitoring and treatment strategies, CNS-PTLDs remain an uncommon but serious complication after allo-HSCT, with very poor prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of CD34+ selected ex vivo T-cell depletion (TCD) vs post-transplant cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil (PTCy-Sir-MMF) as graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. METHODS We retrospectively included patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with either TCD (n = 38) or PTCy-Sir-MMF (n = 91). RESULTS Cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet recovery was 92% vs 99% (P = .06) and 89% vs 97% (P = .3) in TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. Cumulative incidences of aGHVD grade II-IV, III-IV, and moderate to severe cGVHD were 11% vs 19% (P = .2), 3% vs 2% (P = .9), and 3% vs 36% (P < .001) in TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. The 2-year non-relapse mortality, relapse, disease-free and overall survival were 25% vs 8% (P = .01), 20% vs 16% (P = .2), 55% vs 76% (P = .004), 57% vs 83% (P = .004) for TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. Cumulative incidence of cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr infection requiring therapy was 76% vs 40% (P < .001) and 32% vs 0% (P < .001) in TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. PTCy-Sir-MMF platform showed faster T-cell reconstitution. CONCLUSIONS PTCy-Sir-MMF provides better survival outcomes but is associated with higher risk of cGVHD compared to TCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vaccination is the primary method for preventing influenza respiratory virus infection (RVI). Although the influenza vaccine is able to achieve serological responses in some allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients, its clinical benefits are still uncertain. METHODS In this prospective, cross-sectional study, we retrospectively analyzed the effect of inactivated trivalent influenza vaccination on the prevalence of influenza RVI in a consecutive cohort of 136 allo-HSCT adult recipients who developed 161 RVI over 5 flu seasons (from 2013 to 2018). Respiratory viruses in upper- and/or lower-respiratory tract specimens were tested using multiplex polymerase chain reaction panel assays. RESULTS Overall, we diagnosed 74 episodes (46%) of influenza RVI in 70 allo-HSCT recipients. Influenza RVI occurred in 51% of the non-vaccinated compared to 36% of the vaccinated recipients (P = .036). A multivariate analysis showed that influenza vaccination was associated with a lower prevalence of influenza RVI (odds ratio [OR] 0.39, P = .01). A multivariate risk factor analysis of lower-respiratory tract disease (LRTD) identified 2 conditions associated with the probability of influenza RVI progression: influenza vaccination (OR 0.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.014-1, P = .05) and a high-risk immunodeficiency score (OR 36, 95% CI 2.26-575, P = .011). Influenza vaccination was also associated with a lower likelihood of an influenza-related hospital admission (14% vs 2%, P = .04). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that influenza vaccination may have a clinical benefit in allo-HSCT recipients with virologically-confirmed RVI, in terms of a lower influenza RVI prevalence, slower LRTD progression, and lower likelihood of hospital admission.

Abstract
In classical reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens, including the fludarabine and busulphan (BF) combination, sirolimus and tacrolimus (SIR-TAC) as graft vs host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis has shown acceptable results. The outcomes of SIR-TAC in a more intense RIC regimen as Thiotepa-fludarabine-busulfan (TBF) have been hardly investigated. This retrospective study included all consecutive patients receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for myeloid malignancies (January 2009-2017) conditioned with either TBF or BF and receiving SIR-TAC. Patients receiving TBF presented higher non-relapse mortality (31.6 vs 12.3%, p = .01), along with shorter overall survival (51.8% vs 77.8%, p < .01) at 2 years than patients treated with BF. There were no significant differences in the cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD or moderate-severe chronic GVHD or relapse between both groups. These results suggest that TBF does not seem to improve the traditional RIC BF regimen, at least when associated with SIR-TAC prophylaxis.

Abstract
Characteristics and risk factors (RFs) of community-acquired respiratory virus (CARV) infections after umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) are lacking. We retrospectively analyzed CARV infections in 216 single-unit myeloablative UCBT recipients. One-hundred and fourteen episodes of CARV infections were diagnosed in 62 (29%) patients. Upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) occurred in 61 (54%) whereas lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) in 53 (46%). The 5-year cumulative incidence of CARV infection was 29%. RFs for developing CARV infections were: prednisone-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis and grade II–IV acute GVHD. RFs analysis of CARV progression to LRTD identified 2007–2009 period and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) < 0.5 × 109/L. ALC < 0.5 × 109/L had a negative impact on day 60 mortality in both overall CARV and those with LRTD, whereas proven LRTD was associated with higher day 60 mortality. CARV infections had a negative effect on non-relapse mortality. Overall survival at day 60 after CARV detection was significantly lower in recipients with LRTD compared with URTD (74% vs. 93%, respectively). In conclusion, CARV infections after UCBT are frequent and may have a negative effect in the outcomes, in particular in the context of lymphocytopenia.

Abstract
Rapid detection methods used as first diagnostic test for CARVs may delayed the start of antiviral therapy in a significant number of influenza and RSV cases. Syndromic multiplex RT-PCR-based prospective clinical CARV survey in allo-HCT recipients translates into a lower mortality rate as compared to standard clinical practice based on RSV and influenza virus rapid detection test. We found that donor/recipient HLA mismatch, CARV LRTD and high-risk ISI were also associated with higher mortality.
Background There is a lack of studies comparing clinical outcomes among retrospective versus prospective cohorts of allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients with community acquired respiratory virus (CARV) infections. Methods We compare outcomes in two consecutive cohorts of allo-HCT recipients with CARV infections. The retrospective cohort included 63 allo-HCT recipients with 108 CARV infections from January 2013 to April 2016 who were screened and managed following standard clinical practice based on influenza and respiratory syncytial virus rapid antigen detection methods. The prospective cohort was comprised of 144 consecutive recipients with 297 CARV episodes included in a prospective interventional clinical surveillance program (ProClinCarvSur-P) based on syndromic multiplex PCR as first-line test from May 2016 to December 2018 at a single transplant center. Results CARV infections in the retrospective cohort showed more severe clinical features at the time of diagnosis compared to the prospective cohort (fever 83% vs. 57%, hospital admission 69% vs. 28% and lower respiratory tract 58% vs. 31%, respectively, p ≤ 0.002 for all comparisons). Antiviral therapy was more commonly prescribed in the prospective cohort (69 vs. 43 treated CARV episodes), particularly at the upper respiratory tract disease stage (34 vs. 12 treated CARV episodes). Three-month all-cause mortality was significantly higher in the retrospective cohort (n = 23, 37% vs. n = 10, 7%, p < 0.0001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that recipients included in ProClinCarvSur-P had lower mortality rate [odds ratio 0.31, 95% confidence interval 0.12–0.7, p = 0.01]. Conclusion This study report on outcome differences when reporting retrospective vs. prospective CARV infections after allo-HCT. Recipients included in a ProClinCarvSur-P had lower mortality.

Abstract
In this prospective randomized study, we compared the outcomes of single-unit umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and unmanipulated haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in adults with hematologic malignancies. All patients received a myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen consisting of thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine, with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) added for UCBT recipients. Nineteen patients were randomized to UCBT and the other 26 to haplo-HSCT. Four patients (15%) allocated to the haplo-HSCT arm lacked a suitable donor and were crossed over to the UCBT arm. Finally, 23 underwent UCBT and 22 underwent haplo-HSCT. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil recovery was 87% at a median of 19 days (range, 13 to 24 days) in the UCBT arm versus 100% at a median of 17 days (range, 13 to 25 days) in the haplo-SCT arm (P = .04). Platelet recovery was 70% at a median of 40 days (range, 18 to 129 days) in the UCBT arm versus 86% at a median of 24 days (range, 12 to 127 days) in the haplo-HCT arm (P = .02). Rates of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grade II-IV or grade III-IV, overall chronic GVHD, and extensive chronic GVHD in the UCBT and Haplo-SCT arms were 43% versus 36% (P = .8), 9% versus 9% (P = 1), 66% versus 43% (P = .04), and 41% versus 23% (P = .2), respectively. Two-year nonrelapse mortality and relapse in the 2 arms were 52% versus 23% (P = .06) and 17% versus 23% (P = .5), respectively. Two-year disease-free survival, overall survival, and GVHD/relapse-free survival in the 2 arms were 30% versus 54% (P = .2), 35% versus 59% (P = .1), and 17% versus 40% (P = .04), respectively. Our data show that in the context of an MAC regimen, haplo-SCT with PTCy provides improved outcomes compared with ATG-containing single-unit UCBT.

Abstract
Large series of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) after ex vivo T cell-depleted (TCD) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) have not been reported previously. We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 266 patients (median age, 54 years) with AML who received CD34-selected TCD allo-HSCTs while in first (75%) or second (25%) complete remission (CR1/CR2) at a single institution. The conditioning regimens were all myeloablative, and no additional graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was given. The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute GVHD at 180 days were 14% (95% confidence interval [CI], 10% to 18%) and 3% (95% CI, 1% to 5%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD at 3 years was 3% (95% CI, 1% to 6%). The 3-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality was 21% (95% CI, 16% to 26%) and that of relapse was 21% (95% CI, 17% to 27%). Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) at 1, 3, and 5 years were 75%, 61%, and 56% and 68%, 57%, and 53%, respectively. There were no significant differences in OS, DFS, and relapse rates for patients who underwent transplantation in CR1 and those who did so in CR2. However, patients with high-risk cytogenetics at diagnosis had significantly poorer outcomes. The OS and DFS rates compare favorably with those for unmodified allo-HSCT, but with considerably lower rates of GVHD.
