Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy (CAR-T) has revolutionized the management of relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, CAR-T treatment failure is not uncommon and remains a major therapeutic challenge. There is substantial variability across transplantation and cellular therapy programs in assessing and managing post-CAR-T failures in patients with RRMM. The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) Committee on Practice Guidelines conducted an online cross-sectional survey between September 2023 and December 2023 to determine myeloma, transplantation, and cellular therapy physicians' practice patterns for the surveillance, diagnosis, and management of CAR-T failure. The intent of this survey was to understand clinical practice patterns and identify areas for further investigation. Email surveys were sent to 1311 ASTCT physician members, of whom 80 (6.1%) completed the survey. The respondents were 58% white and 66% male, and 51% had >10 years of clinical experience. Most (89%) respondents were affiliated with a university/teaching center, and 56% had a myeloma-focused transplantation and/or cellular therapy practice. Post-CAR-T surveillance laboratory studies were commonly done every 4 weeks, and surveillance bone marrow biopsies and/or imaging surveillance were most commonly done at 3 months. Sixty-four percent of the respondents would often or always consider biopsy or imaging to confirm relapse. The most popular post-CAR-T failure rescue regimen was GPRC5D-directed immunotherapy (30%) for relapses occurring ≤3 months and BCMA-directed bispecific therapies (32.5%) for relapse at >3 months. Forty-one percent of the respondents endorsed post-CAR-T prolonged cytopenia as being "often" or "always" a barrier to next-line therapy; 53% had offered stem cell boost as a mitigation approach. Substantial across-center variation in practice patterns raises the need for collaborative studies and expert clinical recommendations to describe best practices for post-CAR-T disease surveillance, optimal workup for treatment failure, and choice of rescue therapies.

Abstract
The study aimed to determine the association of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) diagnosis and severity with the development of subsequent neoplasms (SN) and nonmalignant late effects (NM-LE) in 2-year disease-free adult survivors following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for a hematologic malignancy. To do so, we conducted a retrospective analysis of 3884 survivors of HCT for hematologic malignancy in the Center of International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database. We conducted a landmark analysis at the 2-year post-transplantation date, comparing first SN and NM-LE in survivors with and without cGVHD. The cumulative incidence (CuI) of SN and NM-LE were estimated through 10 years post-HCT in both groups, with death or disease relapse as a competing risk. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the associations of cGVHD and its related characteristics with the development of SN and NM-LE. The estimated 10-year CuI of SN in patients with GVHD (n = 2669) and patients without cGVHD (n = 1215) was 15% (95% confidence interval [CI], 14% to 17%) versus 9% (7.2% to 11%) (P < .001). cGVHD by 2 years post-HCT was independently associated with SN (hazard ratio [HR], 1.94; 95% CI, 1.53 to 2.46; P < .0001) with a standardized incidence ratio of 3.2 (95% CI, 2.9 to 3.5; P < .0001). Increasing severity of cGVHD was associated with an increased risk of SN. The estimated 10-year CuI of first NM-LE in patients with and without cGVHD was 28 (95% CI, 26% to 30%) versus 13% (95% CI, 11% to 15%) (P < .001). cGVHD by 2 years post-HCT was independently associated with NM-LE (HR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.81 to 2.76; P < .0001). Multivariate analysis of cGVHD-related factors showed that increasing severity of cGVHD, extensive grade, having both mucocutaneous and visceral involvement, and receiving cGVHD treatment for >12 months were associated with the greatest magnitude of risk for NM-LE. cGVHD was closely associated with both SN and NM-LE in adult survivors of HCT for hematologic malignancy. Patients identified as having more severe involvement and both mucocutaneous and visceral organ involvement may warrant enhanced monitoring and screening for SNs and NM-LEs. However, caution is warranted when interpreting these results, as patients with cGVHD may have more vigilant post-transplantation health care and surveillance for late effects.

Abstract
Allogeneic (allo-) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has evolved as a curative therapy for hematologic malignancies and diseases, with practice changes over the past 2 decades. This study aimed to evaluate the change in 5-year net survival (NS) of allo-HCT recipients in a population-based cohort over the past 2 decades, which allows the estimation of a more HCT-specific long-term survival rate by considering background mortality changes. This study included 42,064 patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent their first allo-HCT in Japan between 2000 and 2018 and were reported to the Transplant Registry Unified Management Program. We compared the 5-year NS after allo-HCT in 4 consecutive HCT periods (2000 to 2004, 2005 to 2008, 2009 to 2012, and 2013 to 2018). The 5-year NS of the latest period was estimated using the period analysis method. Adjusted excess hazard ratios (EHRs) for 5-year NS over the HCT period were analyzed using an EHR model. In addition to the analysis of all hematologic malignancies, adjusted 5-year NS for each major hematologic malignancy, including acute myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), myelodysplastic syndrome, adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and malignant lymphoma, was analyzed. The probability of adjusted 5-year NS after HCT improved significantly over time: 35% in 2000 to 2004, 39% in 2005 to 2008, 45% in 2009 to 2012, and 49% in 2013 to 2018. The adjusted EHRs were .90 (95% confidence interval [CI], .86 to .93) in the 2005 to 2008 period, .77 (95% CI, .74 to .80) in the 2009 to 2012 period, and .65 (95% CI, .63 to .68) in the 2013 to 2018 period, with the 2000 to 2004 period as the reference. The 5-year NS improved among all hematologic malignancies, with a significant improvement in CML and ALL. The changes in 5-year NS from the 2000 to 2004 period to the 2013 to 2018 period ranged from 46% to 66% in CML and from 41% to 59% in ALL. In addition to the large improvement of 1-year NS, smaller but continued improvement in NS between 1 and 5 years after transplantation was observed. NS at 5 years conditional on being alive at 1 year increased from 64% in 2000 to 2004 to 73% in 2013 to 2018. Even after subtracting the background mortality in the general population, we found a significant improvement in long-term allo-HCT-specific survival rates for patients with hematologic malignancies over the past 2 decades in Japan.

Abstract
The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) published its guidelines on indications for autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and immune effector cell therapy (IECT) in 2020. Since then, we have witnessed rapid advancements in the field of IECT, resulting in several new chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) products and disease indications being approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To keep abreast of these practice changes, the ASTCT Committee on Practice Guidelines commissioned a focused update covering CAR-T therapy indications. Here we present updated ASTCT recommendations on indications for CAR-T therapy. Only FDA-approved indications for CAR-T were recommended and categorized as "standard of care," where the indication is well defined and supported by evidence. The ASTCT will continue to periodically review these guidelines and update them as new evidence becomes available.

Abstract
Patients with recurrent adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) have a dismal prognosis. We retrospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of lenalidomide (LEN) in 11 consecutive patients with recurrent ATL after allo-HCT. The median time from allo-HCT to ATL recurrence was 111 days (range, 20-1476), and that from allo-HCT to the initiation of LEN was 162 days (range, 43-1560). The median initial daily dose of LEN was 10 mg (range, 5-25), and the median duration of LEN treatment was 37 days (range, 3-1078). Three patients (27%) achieved complete response and two (18%) achieved partial response (PR). The rates of complete or PR according to the involved site were 57% for skin and 50% for nodal or extranodal lesions. With a median follow-up of 1033 days (range, 601-1465) among survivors, the 1-year probability of overall survival (OS) after ATL recurrence was 55%. Grade ≥3 toxicities included cytopenia (n = 4), superficial vein thrombosis (n = 1), and deep vein thrombosis (n = 1). Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) newly developed in five patients (45%) and worsened in four patients (36%). The median duration from the initiation of LEN to GVHD onset or worsening was 5 days (range, 1-9). GVHD was manageable in all patients. Seven patients received mogamulizumab (MOG) for recurrent ATL before LEN treatment. The overall response rates to LEN were 57% in patients who had previously received MOG and 25% in those who had not. The 1-year probabilities of OS after recurrent ATL were 71% in patients who had previously received MOG and 25% in those who had not. Although cytopenia and GVHD are common among patients with recurrent ATL after allo-HCT, LEN may improve survival. Administering MOG before LEN may augment treatment efficacy in the allo-HCT population.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains the only curative treatment for myelofibrosis. However, the optimal conditioning regimen either with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) or myeloablative conditioning (MAC) is not well known. Using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database, we identified adults aged ≥18 years with myelofibrosis undergoing allo-HCT between 2008-2019 and analyzed the outcomes separately in the RIC and MAC cohorts based on the conditioning regimens used. Among 872 eligible patients, 493 underwent allo-HCT using RIC (fludarabine/ busulfan n=166, fludarabine/melphalan n=327) and 379 using MAC (fludarabine/busulfan n=247, busulfan/cyclophosphamide n=132). In multivariable analysis with RIC, fludarabine/melphalan was associated with inferior overall survival (hazard ratio [HR]=1.80; 95% confidenec interval [CI]: 1.15-2.81; P=0.009), higher early non-relapse mortality (HR=1.81; 95% CI: 1.12-2.91; P=0.01) and higher acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) (grade 2-4 HR=1.45; 95% CI: 1.03-2.03; P=0.03; grade 3-4 HR=2.21; 95%CI: 1.28-3.83; P=0.004) compared to fludarabine/busulfan. In the MAC setting, busulfan/cyclophosphamide was associated with a higher acute GvHD (grade 2-4 HR=2.33; 95% CI: 1.67-3.25; P<0.001; grade 3-4 HR=2.31; 95% CI: 1.52-3.52; P<0.001) and inferior GvHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) (HR=1.94; 95% CI: 1.49-2.53; P<0.001) as compared to fludarabine/busulfan. Hence, our study suggests that fludarabine/busulfan is associated with better outcomes in RIC (better overall survival, lower early non-relapse mortality, lower acute GvHD) and MAC (lower acute GvHD and better GRFS) in myelofibrosis.

Abstract
Patients with recurrent peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) have dismal outcomes. Nodal PTCL with the T follicular helper phenotype (PTCL-TFH) is uniquely sensitive to histone deacetylase inhibitors compared to non-TFH phenotypes. We report the case of a 19-year-old man who experienced recurrence of PTCL-TFH shortly after allogeneic HCT and subsequently achieved durable remission with romidepsin. Before HCT, the patient had refractory disease after CHOP and ESHAP chemotherapies but achieved a partial response after two cycles of romidepsin as salvage treatment. HLA-haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation was performed using conditioning with fludarabine 180 mg/sqm, melphalan 80 mg/sqm, and total body irradiation 2 Gy, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide. One month after HCT, disease progression was observed in the lung. Romidepsin was readministered every 2 weeks at a reduced dose of 12 mg/sqm. After two cycles of romidepsin, the patient achieved a complete metabolic response without severe GVHD or other non-hematological toxicities. Romidepsin was discontinued after seven treatment cycles due to prolonged lymphopenia. The patient remains in complete remission 30 months after the last dose of romidepsin. Our experience suggests that romidepsin could be safely administered soon after allogeneic transplantation.

Abstract
A 67-year-old woman who had undergone bone marrow transplantation 2 years previously for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) developed complications of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). She thereafter also developed nephrotic syndrome, and membranous nephropathy (MN) was diagnosed by a renal biopsy. Although the causative antigens of the MN were not detected, immunofluorescence staining showed codominant deposition of immunoglobulins G2 and G3, a finding indicating secondary MN, thereby suggesting an association between MN and cGVHD. Rituximab treatment was initiated, and her nephrotic syndrome gradually improved without relapse of AML. Our present case suggests that rituximab is a safe and effective therapeutic option for cGVHD-associated MN.

Abstract
Adenovirus disease can cause disseminated disease or lethal organ damage in patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Renourinary infection is the most common in Japan. The 1-year cumulative incidences of adenovirus disease in children and adults were 0.15% and 0.49%, respectively, after autologous HCT, and 1.52% and 2.99%, respectively, after allogeneic HCT. The annual incidence remained above 100 cases. Viremia or disseminated disease after autologous and allogeneic HCT occurs in 6% and 19%, respectively, in patients with adenovirus disease. Age ≥50 years and lymphoma are associated with adenovirus disease after autologous HCT. Patient age ≥50 years, male patients, adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, lymphoma, HCT-specific comorbidity index ≥3, HLA-mismatched or haploidentical donors, cord blood, in vivo T-cell depletion, grades II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and extensive chronic GVHD are associated with adenovirus disease after allogeneic HCT. No regulatory authority has approved an antiviral agent for treating adenovirus disease after HCT. More than half of the patients received only supportive care in Japan. The increased risk of mortality following developing adenovirus disease, even with a single-site infection, after both autologous and allogeneic HCT suggests an urgent unmet need for the development of safe and effective drugs.

Abstract
Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation (HDC-ASCT) for the patient with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) has been used as treatment at relapse or as consolidation therapy. We report on the efficacy, safety, and future issues of HDC-ASCT. Twelve patients with PCNSL (10 males and 2 females) underwent HDC-ASCT, ranging in age from 45 to 66 years (median 58 years) and KPS from 70 to 100 (median 90) at the time of HDC-ASCT. HDC-ASCT was performed at the time of consolidation therapy (without radiation) in 7 patients, at first recurrence in 4 (including 1 without radiation), and at second recurrence in 1. Department of Neurosurgery and Neuro-Oncology (NSNO) was in charge from diagnosis to just before transplantation, Department of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) was in charge of HDC-ASCT, and Department of NSNO was in charge after discharge again. The conditioning regimen consisted of busulfan 3.2mg/kg/day for 4 days and thiotepa 5mg/kg/day for the 2 following days, followed by ASCT. The observation period after HDC-ASCT ranged from 2.8 to 43 months (median 16.1 months), and the hospitalization period for HDC-ASCT ranged from 26 to 38 days (median 33 days), with no serious complications. All patients have returned to society and there have been no deaths to date, but two patients (after 4.7 months and 10.9 months) had relapses, of which two were treated with tirabrutinib, and one was subsequently treated palliatively. HDC-ASCT in PCNSL is an important option to improve outcomes. Since the main focus of this treatment is Department of HSCT, it is important to have sufficient cooperation and communication among the departments from the time of tumor diagnosis until after the patient is discharged from transplantation, and it is essential to be fully aware of each role.

Abstract
We analyzed a Japanese registry database to elucidate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of adenovirus (AdV) disease after autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in contemporary real-world patients. We evaluated the cumulative incidence of AdV disease, as well as risk factors, survival, and treatment details, among 25 233 patients who underwent autologous HCT and 48 380 patients who underwent allogeneic HCT between 2005 and 2019. The 1-year cumulative incidences of AdV disease after autologous and allogeneic HCT were 0.18% and 1.52%, respectively, in children, and 0.49% and 2.99%, respectively, in adults. Among patients with AdV disease, renourinary infection was the most common manifestation, and viremia or disseminated disease occurred in 6% of those after autologous HCT and 19% of those after allogeneic HCT. In multivariate analysis, age ≥50 years and lymphoma were associated with AdV disease after autologous HCT, while patients age ≥50 years, male patients, lymphoma, HCT-specific comorbidity index ≥3, human leukocyte antigen-mismatched or haploidentical donors, cord blood, in vivo T-cell depletion, HCT from 2005 to 2009, acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and chronic GVHD were associated with AdV disease after allogeneic HCT. The 1-year probabilities of survival after disease diagnosis were 65% in autologous HCT and 44% in allogeneic HCT. Regardless of the AdV disease burden, there was an increased risk of mortality after both autologous and allogeneic HCT. The most commonly used antiviral agents were cidofovir and vidarabine. The probabilities of improvement and survival with currently available agents were suboptimal. AdV disease after HCT remains a challenge. Better antiviral modalities are necessary.

Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) occurs in up to 25% of children following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and continues to be a major cause of late morbidity and poor quality of life among long-term survivors of pediatric HCT. Late effects (LEs) of HCT are well documented in this population, and cGVHD has been identified as a risk factor for subsequent neoplasms (SNs) and several nonmalignant LEs (NM-LEs); however, the reported correlation between cGVHD and LEs varies among studies. We compared LEs occurring ≥2 years following childhood HCT for a hematologic malignancy in 2-year disease-free survivors with and without cGVHD and further evaluated the association of cGVHD features on the development of LEs. This systematic retrospective analysis used data from the Center of International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) on a large, representative cohort of 1260 survivors of pediatric HCT for hematologic malignancy to compare first malignant LEs and NM-LEs in those with a diagnosis of cGVHD and those who never developed cGVHD. The cumulative incidences of any first LE, SN, and NM-LE were estimated at 10 years after HCT, with death as a competing risk for patients with cGVHD versus no cGVHD. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the impact of cGVHD and its related characteristics on the development of first LEs. The estimated 10-year cumulative incidence of any LE in patients with and without cGVHD was 43% (95% CI, 38% to 48.2%) versus 32% (95% confidence interval [CI], 28.5% to 36.3%) (P < .001), respectively. The development of cGVHD by 2 years post-HCT was independently associated with any LE (hazard ratio [HR], 1.38; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.68; P = .001) and NM-LE (HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.10 to 1.70; P = .006), but not SN (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, .73 to 2.31; P = .38). cGVHD-related factors linked with the development of an NM-LE included having extensive grade cGVHD (HR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.23 to 2.08; P = .0005), severe cGVHD (HR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.60 to 3.17; P < .0001), interrupted onset type (HR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.21 to 2.05; P = .0008), and both mucocutaneous and visceral organ involvement (HR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.24 to 2.03; P = .0002). No significant association between cGVHD-specific variables and SN was identified. Finally, the duration of cGVHD treatment of cGVHD with systemic immunosuppression was not significantly associated with SNs or NM-LEs. cGVHD was more closely associated with NM-LEs than with SNs among survivors of pediatric HCT for hematologic malignancy. In this analysis, the development of SNs was strongly associated with the use of myeloablative total body irradiation. cGVHD-related characteristics consistent with a state of greater immune dysregulation were more closely linked to NM-LEs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS In allogeneic stem cell transplantation, unrelated donors are chosen in cases where appropriate related donors are not available. Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are more often selected as a graft source than bone marrow (BM). However, the prognostic benefits of PBSCs versus BM transplants from unrelated donors have not been carefully examined in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study compared outcomes of adult AML patients who underwent unrelated PBSC and BM transplantation, evaluating post-transplant complications, including engraftment, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and infections, and determined subgroups of patients who are most likely to benefit from unrelated PBSCs compared with BM transplants. METHODS The authors analyzed 2962 adult AML patients who underwent unrelated PBSC or BM transplants between 2011 and 2018 (221 PBSC and 2741 BM) using the Japanese nationwide registry database, in which graft source selection is not skewed toward PBSCs. RESULTS In 49.7% of patients, disease status at transplantation was first complete remission (CR1). In 57.1% of cases, HLA-matched donors were selected. Myeloablative conditioning was performed in 75.1% of cases, and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) was added to conditioning in 10.5%. Multivariate analyses showed a trend toward favorable non-relapse mortality (NRM) in PBSC recipients compared with BM recipients (hazard ratio [HR], 0.731, P = 0.096), whereas overall survival (OS) (HR, 0.959, P = 0.230) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR, 0.868, P = 0.221) were comparable between PBSC and BM recipients. Although the rate of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was significantly higher in PBSC patients (HR, 1.367, P = 0.016), NRM was not increased, mainly as a result of significantly reduced risk of bacterial infections (HR, 0.618, P = 0.010), reflecting more prompt engraftments in PBSC recipients. Subgroup analyses revealed that PBSC transplantation was advantageous in patients transplanted at CR1 and in those without ATG use. PBSC recipients experienced significantly better OS and/or DFS compared with BM recipients in this patient group. CONCLUSIONS The authors' results confirmed the overall safety of unrelated PBSC transplantation for adult AML patients and suggested an advantage of PBSCs, especially for those in CR1. Further optimization of the prophylactic strategy for cGVHD is required to improve the overall outcome in transplantation from unrelated PBSC donors.

Abstract
Identification of genetic alterations through next‐generation sequencing (NGS) can guide treatment decision‐making by providing information on diagnosis, therapy selection, and prognostic stratification in patients with hematological malignancies. Although the utility of NGS‐based genomic profiling assays was investigated in hematological malignancies, no assays sufficiently cover driver mutations, including recently discovered ones, as well as fusions and/or pathogenic germline variants. To address these issues, here we have devised an integrated DNA/RNA profiling assay to detect various types of somatic alterations and germline variants at once. Particularly, our assay can successfully identify copy number alterations and structural variations, including immunoglobulin heavy chain translocations, IKZF1 intragenic deletions, and rare fusions. Using this assay, we conducted a prospective study to investigate the feasibility and clinical usefulness of comprehensive genomic profiling for 452 recurrently altered genes in hematological malignancies. In total, 176 patients (with 188 specimens) were analyzed, in which at least one alteration was detected in 171 (97%) patients, with a median number of total alterations of 7 (0–55). Among them, 145 (82%), 86 (49%), and 102 (58%) patients harbored at least one clinically relevant alteration for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis, respectively. The proportion of patients with clinically relevant alterations was the highest in acute myeloid leukemia, whereas this assay was less informative in T/natural killer‐cell lymphoma. These results suggest the clinical utility of NGS‐based genomic profiling, particularly for their diagnosis and prognostic prediction, thereby highlighting the promise of precision medicine in hematological malignancies.

Abstract
Male-specific late effects after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) include genital chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), hypogonadism, sexual dysfunction, infertility, and subsequent malignancies. They may be closely intertwined and cause prolonged morbidity and decreased quality of life after HCT. We provide a systematic review of male-specific late effects in a collaboration between transplant physicians, endocrinologists, urologists, dermatologists, and sexual health professionals through the Late Effects and Quality of Life Working Committee of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, and the Transplant Complications Working Party of the European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation. The systematic review summarizes incidence, risk factors, screening, prevention and treatment of these complications and provides consensus evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice and future research.

Abstract
We compared characteristics of myeloid neoplasms (MNs) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) versus autologous HCT using a Japanese HCT registry database. Among 43 788 patients who underwent allogeneic (n = 18 874) or autologous HCT (n = 24 914) for non-myeloid malignancies or non-malignant diseases, 352 developed MNs. The cumulative incidence of MNs was lower after allogeneic HCT than after autologous HCT (0.3% vs. 1.8% at 10 years, respectively, p < .001). Compared with autologous HCT, MNs following allogeneic HCT developed in younger patients (median, 42 vs. 57 years old, respectively) and sooner after HCT (median, 16 vs. 33 months, respectively). Approximately half of MNs following allogeneic HCT were donor-derived and occurred later than recipient-derived MNs (median, 26 vs. 6 months, respectively, p = .003). In multivariate analysis, reduced-intensity conditioning and cord blood transplantation were associated with MN development after allogeneic HCT. Overall survival was similar in patients who developed MNs following allogeneic versus autologous HCT (18% vs. 22% at 5 years, respectively, p = .48). Patient age ≥ 55 years, the presence of previous HCT, AML subtype, and chromosome 5 or 7 abnormalities were adverse factors for overall survival after MN diagnosis. Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms of MN development following allogeneic HCT.

Abstract
Letermovir is commonly used for CMV prophylaxis after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Pharmacokinetic studies have shown an increase in tacrolimus exposure among healthy volunteers who took letermovir. However, studies in HCT recipients are needed because these patients are typically using concomitant antifungals with different degrees of CYP3A4 inhibition that may further interact with tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the kinetics of tacrolimus concentration after letermovir discontinuation by type of concomitant azole antifungal in 57 HCT recipients. The median fold change in tacrolimus concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratio after discontinuing letermovir was 0.64 (range 0.43-0.99) with fluconazole and 1.10 (range 0.59-1.73) with voriconazole (p < 0.001). The tacrolimus C/D ratio decreased ≥ 30% after discontinuing letermovir (p < 0.001) in 66% of patients on fluconazole and 9% on voriconazole. Among patients whose tacrolimus C/D ratio decreased ≥ 30%, three (9%) patients in the fluconazole group and one (4%) in the voriconazole group experienced worsening of GVHD. Careful monitoring of tacrolimus concentration is important after letermovir discontinuation to avoid worsening of GVHD due to decreased tacrolimus concentration.

Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) affects various organs and causes significant morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. The 2005 National Institutes of Health consensus criteria for chronic GVHD have set international standards for endpoints and designing and reporting of clinical trials; these criteria were revised in 2014 to incorporate accumulated evidence and controversies. In addition, preclinical studies of chronic GVHD have identified treatment targets such as regulatory T cells, B-cell signaling, Th17 cells, Tc17 cells, follicular helper T cells, follicular regulatory T cells, and fibrosis-promoting factors. These efforts led to the approval of ibrutinib, belumosudil, and ruxolitinib by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating chronic GVHD after failure of one or more lines of systemic therapy, and an increasing number of investigational agents that target different biological pathways of chronic GVHD are under development in clinical trials. To address challenges in a rapidly evolving field, a third National Institutes of Health consensus project was held in 2020, in which investigators, patient advocacy organizations, and pharmaceutical companies aimed to define basic and clinical research roadmaps that may lead to significant change in chronic GVHD management over the next 5 years.

Abstract
T cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a rare, aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options and poor long-term survival. Previous studies of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) for T-PLL are limited by small numbers, and descriptions of patient and transplantation characteristics and outcomes after alloHCT are sparse. In this study, we evaluated outcomes of alloHCT in patients with T-PLL and attempted to identify predictors of post-transplantation relapse and survival. We conducted an analysis of data using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database on 266 patients with T-PLL who underwent alloHCT between 2008 and 2018. The 4-year rates of overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), relapse, and treatment-related mortality (TRM) were 30.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 23.8% to 36.5%), 25.7% (95% CI, 20% to 32%), 41.9% (95% CI, 35.5% to 48.4%), and 32.4% (95% CI, 26.4% to 38.6%), respectively. In multivariable analyses, 3 variables were associated with inferior OS: receipt of a myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen (hazard ratio [HR], 2.18; P < .0001), age >60 years (HR, 1.61; P = .0053), and suboptimal performance status, defined by Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) <90 (HR, 1.53; P = .0073). Receipt of an MAC regimen also was associated with increased TRM (HR, 3.31; P < .0001), an elevated cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (HR, 2.94; P = .0011), and inferior DFS (HR, 1.86; P = .0004). Conditioning intensity was not associated with relapse; however, stable disease/progression was correlated with increased risk of relapse (HR, 2.13; P = .0072). Both in vivo T cell depletion (TCD) as part of conditioning and KPS <90 were associated with worse TRM and inferior DFS. Receipt of total body irradiation had no significant effect on OS, DFS, or TRM. Our data show that reduced-intensity conditioning without in vivo TCD (ie, without antithymocyte globulin or alemtuzumab) before alloHCT was associated with long-term DFS in patients with T-PLL who were age ≤60 years or who had a KPS >90 or chemosensitive disease.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is a curative therapy for a variety of hematological diseases, but its success is hampered by acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). In the last five years, multiple novel therapeutic approaches for GvHD have entered the arena. The National Institutes of Health consensus criteria for chronic GvHD have set standards for designing and reporting clinical trials, and preclinical experiments of chronic GvHD have revealed the central roles of regulatory T cells, B-cell signaling, Th17 cells, Tc17 cells, follicular helper T cells, follicular regulatory T cells, and fibrosis-promoting factors. These scientific efforts and the resulting clinical studies led to the approval of ibrutinib, belumosudil and ruxolitinib for the treatment of refractory chronic GvHD. Recently, large randomized phase III trials showed that ruxolitinib was superior to the best available therapy for glucocorticoid-refractory acute GvHD (REACH2 trial) and glucocorticoid-refractory chronic GvHD (REACH3 trial). Furthermore, novel regenerative approaches, including IL-22, R-spondin, and glucogon-like peptide-2, and cellular therapies, such as the transfer of mesenchymal stem cells and regulatory T cells, are under intensive investigation. GvHD prevention using abatacept, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibition, and post-transplant cyclophosphamide are also promising strategies that require further evaluation. In this article, we summarize the emerging knowledge of acute GvHD, chronic GvHD, and preclinical and clinical data of mesenchymal stem cells as GvHD therapy. In the next five years, basic and clinical studies will further advance the field, and dramatic changes in GvHD management will be encountered.

Abstract
Patients who develop therapy-related myeloid neoplasm, either myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) or acute myelogenous leukemia (t-AML), have a poor prognosis. An earlier Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) analysis of 868 allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantations (allo-HCTs) performed between 1990 and 2004 showed a 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of 22% and 21%, respectively. Modern supportive care, graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, and reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens have led to improved outcomes. Therefore, the CIBMTR analyzed 1531 allo-HCTs performed in adults with t-MDS (n = 759) or t-AML (n = 772) between and 2000 and 2014. The median age was 59 years (range, 18 to 74 years) for the patients with t-MDS and 52 years (range, 18 to 77 years) for those with t-AML. Twenty-four percent of patients with t-MDS and 11% of those with t-AML had undergone a previous autologous (auto-) HCT. A myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen was used in 49% of patients with t-MDS and 61% of patients with t-AML. Nonrelapse mortality at 5 years was 34% (95% confidence interval [CI], 30% to 37%) for patients with t-MDS and 34% (95% CI, 30% to 37%) for those with t-AML. Relapse rates at 5 years in the 2 groups were 46% (95% CI, 43% to 50%) and 43% (95% CI, 40% to 47%). Five-year OS and DFS were 27% (95% CI, 23% to 31%) and 19% (95% CI, 16% to 23%), respectively, for patients with t-MDS and 25% (95% CI, 22% to 28%) and 23% (95% CI, 20% to 26%), respectively, for those with t-AML. In multivariate analysis, OS and DFS were significantly better in young patients with low-risk t-MDS and those with t-AML undergoing HCT with MAC while in first complete remission, but worse for those with previous auto-HCT, higher-risk cytogenetics or Revised International Prognostic Scoring System score, and a partially matched unrelated donor. Relapse remains the major cause of treatment failure, with little improvement seen over the past 2 decades. These data mandate caution when recommending allo-HCT in these conditions and indicate the need for more effective antineoplastic approaches before and after allo-HCT.

Abstract
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Stem cell source or HLA disparity may exert a significant impact on the overall survival (OS) after the development of aGVHD. In order to clarify this point, we performed a retrospective analysis using a database of the Japan Society for HCT. We analyzed the clinical outcomes of 10,035 patients who developed grade II-IV aGVHD. The median age of the patients was 48 years. The probability of 2-year OS after the onset of grade II-IV aGVHD in the study cohort was 54.1%. The multivariate analysis showed that the HLA ≥2-loci mismatched related donor and HLA 1-locus mismatched unrelated donor were significantly associated with an inferior OS after grade II-IV aGVHD. In a subgroup analysis, peripheral blood stem cells and HLA disparity were associated with an inferior OS in patients who received related or unrelated HCT. Thus, the clinical outcome after grade II-IV aGVHD significantly varied as per the combination of the presence of HLA disparity and stem cell source. Further research using other databases is necessary to confirm our findings.

Abstract
This study characterized the outcomes of patients who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for transformed follicular lymphoma (tFL), and clarified the association of low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin use with outcomes after allogeneic HCT. The retrospective study cohort included 74 consecutive patients who underwent autologous (n = 23) or allogeneic (n = 51) HCT at our center from 2000 to 2017. Compared with the allogeneic HCT group, the autologous HCT group underwent fewer systemic regimens before HCT (median 2 vs. 5, p < 0.001) and were more likely to have chemosensitive disease at HCT (100% vs. 82%, p = 0.05), while age, sex and HCT-specific comorbidity index were similar between the two groups. With a median follow-up of 5.8 years among survivors, the 5-year probability of progression-free survival was 64% after autologous HCT and 55% after allogeneic HCT (p = 0.21). The 5-year cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality was 0% after autologous HCT and 9.5% after allogeneic HCT (p = 0.062). The 5-year cumulative incidence of disease progression was similar between autologous and allogeneic HCT (36% vs. 36%, respectively, p = 0.88). In the allogeneic HCT group, the use of low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin was associated with a lower incidence of severe acute GVHD but not with an increased risk of mortality or disease progression. More than half of patients with early phase chemosensitive tFL and approximately half of those with advanced-phase tFL achieved long-term progression-free survival with autologous and allogeneic HCT, respectively. Disease progression was the major cause of treatment failure after both types of HCT. Further strategies are needed to reduce the risk of disease progression.

Abstract
In allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), investigator-based clinical variables have been used for pretransplantation prognostic prediction, risk adjustment, and post-transplantation long-term screenings. Although several studies have investigated the prognostic significance of pretransplantation patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and longitudinal trends in PROs after allo-HCT, few have assessed these outcomes using the Medical Outcomes Study 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) and EuroQol 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) index. The present study used 18 items from the SF-12 and EQ-5D index to evaluate the prognostic impact of pretransplantation quality of life (QOL) on allo-HCT outcomes and longitudinal changes in QOL in allo-HCT recipients. This single-center prospective study included consecutive patients who underwent allo-HCT at our center between October 2014 and September 2016. All participants were followed up until October 2017. The SF-12 and EQ-5D index were administered to assess patient-reported QOL before allo-HCT and at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after allo-HCT when participants visited the long-term follow-up clinic. Longitudinal trends in the QOL-adjusted means were estimated using linear mixed-effects, adjusting for pretransplantation covariates and reasons for missing QOL data. Among 157 patients who underwent allo-HCT, 145 (92%) were registered in this study, and 143 with available QOL data were analyzed. The median pretransplantation scores were 45.3 for the SF-12 physical component score (PCS), 55.6 for the mental component score (MCS), 38.8 for the role/social component score (RCS), 70.0 for the visual analog scale (VAS), and 49.0 for the EQ-5D index. Overall survival (OS) was significantly improved in patients with higher pretransplantation scores on the PCS, RCS, and EQ-5D index, and multivariable analyses showed that the median pretransplantation RCS was significantly associated with OS after allo-HCT (hazard ratio, 3.66; P = .003). The longitudinal trends in the SF-12 score showed that the PCS was improved at 2 years after allo-HCT and was comparable to the normative score for the general population. The MCS remained comparable to or higher than the normative score after allo-HCT. The RCS improved significantly beginning at 6 months after allo-HCT but remained lower than the normative score at 2 years. The VAS and EQ-5D index values showed a drop at 3 months after allo-HCT. Patient-reported QOL assessed by 18 questions on the SF-12 and EQ-5D predicted prognosis, and may be used as a prognosticator to determine treatment strategies, including preparative regimens. Although we experienced a certain amount of patient attrition in the longitudinal follow-up of QOL data, we demonstrated characteristic trajectories of QOL in different domains after adjusting for background covariates and reasons for the lack of QOL data. © 2021 American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is potentially curative for certain hematologic malignancies and nonmalignant diseases. The field of allo-HCT has witnessed significant advances, including broadening indications for transplantation, availability of alternative donor sources, less toxic preparative regimens, new cell manipulation techniques, and novel GVHD prevention methods, all of which have expanded the applicability of the procedure. These advances have led to clinical practice conundrums when applying traditional definitions of hematopoietic recovery, graft rejection, graft failure, poor graft function, and donor chimerism, because these may vary based on donor type, cell source, cell dose, primary disease, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, and conditioning intensity, among other variables. To address these contemporary challenges, we surveyed a panel of allo-HCT experts in an attempt to standardize these definitions. We analyzed survey responses from adult and pediatric transplantation physicians separately. Consensus was achieved for definitions of neutrophil and platelet recovery, graft rejection, graft failure, poor graft function, and donor chimerism, but not for delayed engraftment. Here we highlight the complexities associated with the management of mixed donor chimerism in malignant and nonmalignant hematologic diseases, which remains an area for future research. We recognize that there are multiple other specific, and at times complex, clinical scenarios for which clinical management must be individualized.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ultrahigh resolution (UHR) HLA matching is reported to result in better outcomes following unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation, improving survival and reducing post-transplant complications. However, most studies included relatively small numbers of patients. Here we report the findings from a large, multicenter validation study. METHODS UHR HLA typing was available on 5,140 conventionally 10 out of 10 HLA-matched patients with malignant disease transplanted between 2008 and 2017. RESULTS After UHR HLA typing, 82% of pairs remained 10 out of 10 UHR-matched; 12.3% of patients were 12 out of 12 UHR HLA-matched. Compared with 12 out of 12 UHR-matched patients, probabilities of grade 2-4 acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) were significantly increased with UHR mismatches (overall P = .0019) and in those patients who were HLA-DPB1 T-cell epitope permissively mismatched or nonpermissively mismatched (overall P = .0011). In the T-cell-depleted subset, the degree of UHR HLA mismatch was only associated with increased transplant-related mortality (TRM) (overall P = .0068). In the T-cell-replete subset, UHR HLA matching was associated with a lower probability of aGVHD (overall P = .0020); 12 out of 12 UHR matching was associated with reduced TRM risk when compared with HLA-DPB1 T-cell epitope permissively mismatched patients, whereas nonpermissive mismatching resulted in a greater risk (overall P = .0003). CONCLUSION This study did not confirm that UHR 12 out of 12 HLA matching increases the probability of overall survival but does demonstrate that aGVHD risk, and in certain settings TRM, is lowest in UHR HLA-matched pairs and thus warrants consideration when multiple 10 out of 10 HLA-matched donors of equivalent age are available.

Abstract
Adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is a highly aggressive hematologic malignancy with a very poor prognosis, and most patients with ATL are elderly. Although post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has yielded promising results in various diseases, available data are limited regarding its outcomes in ATL. The aim of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of reduced-intensity peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical donor using PTCy as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. This was a prospective, multicenter phase I/II study (UMIN000021783) conducted at 16 hospitals in Japan. The primary endpoint was the probability of survival with engraftment and without grade III/IV acute GVHD at day 60 after PBSCT. The expected probability of the primary endpoint was estimated to be 60%, and the threshold probability was set at 30% on the basis of previous studies. The conditioning regimen consisted of fludarabine (30 mg/m2/d from day -7 to -2), melphalan (40 mg/m2/d on days -3 and -2), and total body irradiation (2 Gy on day -1). GVHD prophylaxis consisted of tacrolimus starting at 0.02 mg/kg/d on day -1, PTCy (50 mg/kg/d on days +3 and +5), and mycophenolate mofetil 2000 mg/d starting on day +6. Eighteen ATL patients underwent PBSCT. The probability of patients who met the primary endpoint was 89% (95% confidence interval, 65% to 99%). The cumulative incidences of grade II to IV acute GVHD, III/IV acute GVHD, and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD were 39%, 11%, and 17%, respectively. The probabilities of overall survival were 83% at 1 year and 73% at 2 years. The cumulative incidences of non-relapse mortality and disease progression at 1 year were 11% and 28%, respectively. HLA-haploidentical PBSCT with PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis is a valid option for patients with aggressive ATL.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the ocular surface changes of ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and examine the efficacy of disposable bandage soft contact lens (BSCL) treatment in ocular GVHD patients. METHODS This study is a prospective, Phase II clinical trial. Nineteen patients diagnosed with chronic GVHD based on the NIH criteria and ocular symptoms of NIH eye score 2 or greater were enrolled. Disposable BSCL was applied to the GVHD-affected eyes with topical antibiotic coverage. Ocular exams, eye symptom surveys, and AS-OCT were performed with signed informed consent. Patients were followed for one to three months. RESULTS Thirty-eight eyes of 19 patients with ocular GVHD underwent BSCL treatment in this study. AS-OCT scans were done in 14 out of 19 patients. The mean best-corrected visual acuity at enrollment, 2-week, and 4-week visits was 0.180, 0.128, and 0.163 logMAR, respectively. Twenty-four out of 25 eyes (96 %) that initially presented with conjunctival inflammation, twenty-three out of 30 eyes (76.7 %) that initially presented with punctate epithelial erosion, and 8 out of 15 (53.3 %) eyes that initially presented with filamentous keratopathy showed improvement after wearing BSCL for 2 to 4 weeks. AS-OCT revealed corneal epithelial irregularity, abnormal meibomian gland orifice, and conjunctival hyperemia, in patients with ocular GVHD. CONCLUSIONS BSCL treatment provided significant subjective and objective improvements in ocular GVHD patients. Meanwhile, we found that AS-OCT can be a promising diagnostic tool to characterize the ocular surface changes associated with ocular GVHD.

Abstract
Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a highly morbid form of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Several plasma proteins have been identified as biomarkers for BOS after lung transplantation. The relevance of these biomarkers in BOS patients after allogeneic HCT has not been examined. We hypothesized that biomarkers associated with BOS after lung transplantation are also associated with BOS after allogeneic HCT. We tested plasma samples from 33 adult HCT patients who participated in a phase II multicenter study of fluticasone, azithromycin, and montelukast (FAM) treatment for new-onset BOS (NCT01307462), and matched control samples of HCT patients who had non-BOS chronic GVHD (n = 31) and those who never experienced chronic GVHD (n = 29) (NCT00637689 and NCT01902576). Candidate biomarkers included matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), MMP-3, and chitinase-3-like-1 glycoprotein (YKL-40). MMP-9 concentrations were higher in the patients with BOS compared with those with non-BOS chronic GVHD (P = .04) or no chronic GVHD (P < .001). MMP-3 concentrations were higher in patients with BOS (P < .001) or non-BOS chronic GVHD (P < .001) compared with those with no chronic GVHD. YKL-40 concentrations did not differ statistically among the 3 groups. MMP-9 concentrations before starting FAM therapy were higher in patients who experienced treatment failure within 6 months compared with those with treatment success (P = .006), whereas MMP-3 or YKL-40 concentrations did not differ statistically between these 2 groups. Patients with an MMP-9 concentration ≥200,000 pg/mL before starting FAM therapy had worse overall survival compared with those with lower MMP-9 concentrations. Our data suggest that plasma MMP-9 concentration could serve as a relevant biomarker at diagnosis of BOS after allogeneic HCT for prognostication of survival and for prediction of treatment response. Further validation is needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Positive results from recent clinical trials have significantly expanded current therapeutic options for patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, new insights into the associations between clinical characteristics of chronic GVHD, pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease, and the clinical and biological effects of novel therapeutic agents are required to allow for a more individualized approach to treatment. The current report is focused on setting research priorities and direction in the treatment of chronic GVHD. Detailed correlative scientific studies should be conducted in the context of clinical trials to evaluate associations between clinical outcomes and the biological effect of systemic therapeutics. For patients who require systemic therapy but not urgent initiation of glucocorticoids, clinical trials for initial systemic treatment of chronic GVHD should investigate novel agents as monotherapy without concurrently starting glucocorticoids, to avoid confounding biological, pathological, and clinical assessments. Clinical trials for treatment-refractory disease should specifically target patients with incomplete or suboptimal responses to most recent therapy who are early in their disease course. Close collaboration between academic medical centers, medical societies, and industry is needed to support an individualized, biology-based strategic approach to chronic GVHD therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In autologous peripheral blood stem cell harvest (APBSCH), CD34-positive cells have been measured to assess the numbers of hematopoietic stem cells, but measurement requires specialized equipment. Recently, there was a report that peripheral blood hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) are useful indicators of the presence of hematopoietic stem cells. We examined the usefulness of HPC monitoring to predict APBSCH timing. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the relationship between HPC and collected CD34-positive cells in 84 consecutive patients who underwent APBSCH. RESULTS According to the receiver operating characteristics curve for the collection of ≥2 × 106 CD34-positive cells/kg, the HPC cut-off value on the day before collection was 21/μL, while that on the day of collection was 41/μL. No significant factors were found in the univariate analysis except for the HPC count on the day before collection (p < 0.001) and the day of collection (p < 0.001). According to the multivariate analysis, the HPC count on the day before collection (p < 0.001) and the day of collection (p < 0.001) were also factors that strongly influenced the quantity of CD34-positive cells collected. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the HPC count on not only the day of collection but also the day before collection is a good indicator for appropriate APBSCH timing.

Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) commonly occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) despite standard prophylactic immune suppression. Intensified universal prophylaxis approaches are effective but risk possible overtreatment and may interfere with the graft-versus-malignancy immune response. Here we summarize conceptual and practical considerations regarding preemptive therapy of chronic GVHD, namely interventions applied after HCT based on evidence that the risk of developing chronic GVHD is higher than previously appreciated. This risk may be anticipated by clinical factors or risk assignment biomarkers or may be indicated by early signs and symptoms of chronic GVHD that do not fully meet National Institutes of Health diagnostic criteria. However, truly preemptive, individualized, and targeted chronic GVHD therapies currently do not exist. In this report, we (1) review current knowledge regarding clinical risk factors for chronic GVHD, (2) review what is known about chronic GVHD risk assignment biomarkers, (3) examine how chronic GVHD pathogenesis intersects with available targeted therapeutic agents, and (4) summarize considerations for preemptive therapy for chronic GVHD, emphasizing trial development, including trial design and statistical considerations. We conclude that robust risk assignment models that accurately predict chronic GVHD after HCT and early-phase preemptive therapy trials represent the most urgent priorities for advancing this novel area of research.

Abstract
Letermovir has been approved for the prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Letermovir is a cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 inducer. Voriconazole, which is a broad-spectrum triazole antifungal agent, is mainly metabolized by CYP2C19. Thus, voriconazole trough concentration may decrease due to the drug interaction between voriconazole and letermovir. This study aimed to clarify the effects of letermovir on voriconazole trough concentration in allogeneic HCT recipients. We retrospectively examined voriconazole trough concentration in 24 allogeneic HCT recipients who had letermovir for prevention of CMV infection. The median voriconazole C/D ratios significantly decreased after starting letermovir from 0.25 L/kg to 0.11 L/kg (p < 0.01), and increased after discontinuing letermovir from 0.15 L/kg to 0.24 L/kg (p = 0.02). The median fold change of voriconazole trough concentration during letermovir administration was 0.40. Our results suggest that voriconazole trough concentration decreases when voriconazole is combined with letermovir in allogeneic HCT recipients. Therefore, close therapeutic drug monitoring of voriconazole trough concentration is warranted in allogeneic HCT recipients after starting or discontinuing letermovir.

Abstract
Preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains challenging because the unique cellular and molecular pathways that incite chronic GVHD are poorly understood. One major point of intervention for potential prevention of chronic GVHD occurs at the time of transplantation when acute donor anti-recipient immune responses first set the events in motion that result in chronic GVHD. After transplantation, additional insults causing tissue injury can incite aberrant immune responses and loss of tolerance, further contributing to chronic GVHD. Points of intervention are actively being identified so that chronic GVHD initiation pathways can be targeted without affecting immune function. The major objective in the field is to continue basic studies and to translate what is learned about etiopathology to develop targeted prevention strategies that decrease the risk of morbid chronic GVHD without increasing the risks of cancer relapse or infection. Development of strategies to predict the risk of developing debilitating or deadly chronic GVHD is a high research priority. This working group recommends further interrogation into the mechanisms underpinning chronic GVHD development, and we highlight considerations for future trial design in prevention trials.

Abstract
To elucidate the incidence, causes, and risk factors associated with readmission due to transplant-related complications, we studied 213 consecutive patients who were discharged without progression of primary disease after their first allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation at our center between 2013 and 2016. The median patient age was 50 years (range, 18-71 years). Eighty-three patients had AML or MDS, 66 had lymphoma, 28 had ALL, 23 had ATL, and 13 had other diseases. The median duration of hospitalization for transplantation was 56 days (range 27-325 days). The cumulative incidences of readmission due to transplant-related complications were 8% at 30 days, 16% at 100 days, and 25% at 1 year after discharge. The most frequent cause of readmission was infection, followed by graft-versus-host disease throughout the first year. In multivariate analysis, steroid use at discharge was the only risk factor associated with readmission within 30 days, and steroid use at discharge, absolute lymphocyte count < 500/µl at discharge, and documented bacterial infection during admission were risk factors associated with readmission within 1 year. Our results indicated that factors during hospitalization or discharge, but not at transplantation, were associated with readmission. Patients with these risk factors should be monitored carefully after discharge.

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

Abstract
The role of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in the management of newly diagnosed adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is reviewed and critically evaluated in this evidence-based review. An AML expert panel, consisting of both transplant and nontransplant experts, was invited to develop clinically relevant frequently asked questions covering disease- and HCT-related topics. A systematic literature review was conducted to generate core recommendations that were graded based on the quality and strength of underlying evidence based on the standardized criteria established by the American Society of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Steering Committee for evidence-based reviews. Allogeneic HCT offers a survival benefit in patients with intermediate- and high-risk AML and is currently a part of standard clinical care. We recommend the preferential use of myeloablative conditioning in eligible patients. A haploidentical related donor marrow graft is preferred over a cord blood unit in the absence of a fully HLA-matched donor. The evolving role of allogeneic HCT in the context of measurable residual disease monitoring and recent therapeutic advances in AML with regards to maintenance therapy after HCT are also discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Despite a strong association between acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and cytomegalovirus reactivation (CMVR), the joint effect of acute GVHD and CMVR on nonrelapse mortality (NRM) has not been well studied.
Methods
We evaluated the impact of CMVR on NRM stratified according to the development of acute GVHD using a landmark method. This study included 6078 patients who received their first allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with a preemptive strategy for CMVR between 2008 and 2017.
Results
The cumulative incidences of grade 2-4 acute GVHD (G24GVHD), CMVR by day 100, and CMV disease by day 365 were 37.3%, 52.1%, and 2.9%, respectively. Patients with G24GVHD were associated with the subsequent development of CMVR, and the presence of CMVR also increased the risk of G24GVHD. In a landmark analysis at day 65, the cumulative incidence of NRM at 1 year was 5.4%, 10.0%, 13.9%, and 19.7% in patients with G24GVHD–/CMVR–, G24GVHD–/CMVR+, G24GVHD+/CMVR–, and G24GVHD+/CMVR+, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, CMVR was respectively associated with an increased risk of NRM by day 365 in patients without G24GVHD (hazard ratio [HR], 1.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24–2.05; P < .001) and with G24GVHD (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.06–1.70; P = .014), but the interaction between G24GVHD and CMVR was not significant (P = .326). Subgroup analyses suggested that the joint effect of acute GVHD and CMVR might vary according to the baseline characteristics.
Conclusions
These data regarding the close relationship between acute GVHD and CMVR should provide important implications for the treatment strategy after HCT.

Abstract
Background Evidence about the impact of marital status before hematopoietic cell transplantation (hct) on outcomes after hct is conflicting. Methods We identified patients 40 years of age and older within the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research registry who underwent hct between January 2008 and December 2015. Marital status before hct was declared as one of: married or living with a partner, single (never married), separated or divorced, and widowed. We performed a multivariable analysis to determine the association of marital status with outcomes after hct. Results We identified 10,226 allogeneic and 5714 autologous hct cases with, respectively, a median follow-up of 37 months (range: 1-102 months) and 40 months (range: 1-106 months). No association between marital status and overall survival was observed in either the allogeneic (p = 0.58) or autologous (p = 0.17) setting. However, marital status was associated with grades 2-4 acute graft-versus-host disease (gvhd), p < 0.001, and chronic gvhd, p = 0.04. The risk of grades 2-4 acute gvhd was increased in separated compared with married patients [hazard ratio (hr): 1.13; 95% confidence interval (ci): 1.03 to 1.24], and single patients had a reduced risk of grades 2-4 acute gvhd (hr: 0.87; 95% ci: 0.77 to 0.98). The risk of chronic gvhd was lower in widowed compared with married patients (hr: 0.82; 95% ci: 0.67 to 0.99). Conclusions Overall survival after hct is not influenced by marital status, but associations were evident between marital status and grades 2-4 acute and chronic gvhd. To better appreciate the effects of marital status and social support, future research should consider using validated scales to measure social support and patient and caregiver reports of caregiver commitment, and to assess health-related quality of life together with health care utilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is a curative therapy for hematological malignancies, but transplant-related mortality (TRM) remains a concern. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of capsule endoscopy (CE) by evaluating the correlation between inflammatory findings on CE and TRM. METHODS The data of patients after allo-SCT were retrospectively collected. The association between findings on CE and TRM at 100 days from the CE was evaluated. RESULTS Of the 94 patients included in the study, 47 showed inflammatory findings on CE. The findings were diagnosed as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD; n = 17), cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection (n = 14), and GVHD with CMV infection (n = 16). Of the 47 patients, 13 (28%) had TRM. Endoscopic diagnoses of these TRM cases were GVHD (n = 4), CMV infection (n = 0), and GVHD with CMV infection (n = 9). In contrast, in the remaining 47 patients who showed no inflammatory findings on CE, 2 patients (4%) had TRM. The proportion of TRM was higher in patients with inflammatory findings than in those without it (28 vs. 4%, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS CE may predict TRM in patients who developed gastrointestinal symptoms after allo-SCT.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only potentially curative option for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Mortality after HCT is high, with deaths related to relapse or transplant-related complications. Thus, identifying patients who may or may not benefit from HCT is clinically important. We identified 1514 patients with MDS enrolled in the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research Registry and had their peripheral blood samples sequenced for the presence of 129 commonly mutated genes in myeloid malignancies. A random survival forest algorithm was used to build the model, and the accuracy of the proposed model was assessed by concordance index. The median age of the entire cohort was 59 years. The most commonly mutated genes were ASXL1(20%), TP53 (19%), DNMT3A (15%), and TET2 (12%). The algorithm identified the following variables prior to HCT that impacted overall survival: age, TP53 mutations, absolute neutrophils count, cytogenetics per International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised, Karnofsky performance status, conditioning regimen, donor age, WBC count, hemoglobin, diagnosis of therapy-related MDS, peripheral blast percentage, mutations in RAS pathway, JAK2 mutation, number of mutations/sample, ZRSR2, and CUX1 mutations. Different variables impacted the risk of relapse post-transplant. The new model can provide survival probability at different time points that are specific (personalized) for a given patient based on the clinical and mutational variables that are listed above. The outcomes' probability at different time points may aid physicians and patients in their decision regarding HCT.

Abstract
We conducted a multicenter study on anti-programmed cell death-1 monoclonal antibodies (anti-PD-1 mAbs) before/after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for Hodgkin lymphoma. Anti-PD-1 mAbs were administered to 25 patients before allo-HCT and to 20 after allo-HCT. In pre-allo-HCT setting, the median interval from the last administration to allo-HCT was 59 days. After allo-HCT, 12 patients developed non-infectious febrile syndrome requiring high-dose corticosteroid. The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) were 47.1%. Eight patients who had GvHD prophylaxis with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) had less frequent aGvHD (grade II-IV, 14.6% versus 58.8%; P = 0.086). The 1 year overall survival (OS), relapse/progression, and non-relapse mortality rates were 81.3%, 27.9%, and 8.4%. In post-allo-HCT setting, the median interval from allo-HCT to the first administration was 589 days. The overall and complete response rates were 75% and 40%. At 100 days after anti-PD-1 therapy, the cumulative incidences of grade II-IV aGvHD, moderate-to-severe chronic GvHD, and grade 3-4 immune-related toxicity were 15.0%, 30.0%, and 30.0%. While the 1 year relapse/progression rate was 47.4%, the 1 year OS probability was 89.7%. In conclusion, immune-related complications were frequent despite modifications of GvHD prophylaxis or anti-PD-1 mAb dosing. In anti-PD-1-mAb-pretreated patients, PTCy-based GvHD prophylaxis may be effective.

Abstract
Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is a new method to prevent graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Although the use of dexamethasone is recommended as prophylaxis against chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) for patients who receive high-dose cyclophosphamide, corticosteroids cannot be used during PTCy administration to exploit depletion of alloreactive T cells. Thus, CINV may not be adequately controlled in this situation. We retrospectively examined antiemetic efficacy of the combination of a 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptor antagonist (5-HT3 RA) and a NK1 receptor antagonist (NK1 RA) in 36 patients who received PTCy, and compared this efficacy with that of the same combination together with dexamethasone in 27 patients conditioned with cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation (CY/TBI). The proportion of patients who had no vomiting during the acute phase of PTCy administration was 81%, and was lower than 100% in the CY/TBI group (p = 0.02). Our results suggest that prevention of CINV using 5-HT3 RA and NK1 RA during PTCy administration is suboptimal and that addition of antiemetic is necessary in patients who receive PTCy.
