RESUMEN
Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) mutations have uncertain prognostic implications in AML. We investigate the impact IDH1 and IDH2 mutations in AML patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in first complete remission (CR1). In total, 1515 adult patients were included, 15.91% (n = 241) carried IDH1 mutation (mIDH1), and 26.27% (n = 398) IDH2 mutation (mIDH2) and 57.82% (n = 876) had no-IDH mutation. NPM1 was frequently encountered with IDH1 mutation (no-IDH group, n = 217, 24.8%, mIDH1, n = 103, 42.7%, mIDH2, n = 111, 27.9%, p < 0.0001). At day 180, the cumulative incidence (CI) of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was significantly lower in mIDH1 and mIDH2 compared to no-IDH groups (Hazard ratio [HR] = 0.66 (95% CI 0.47-0.91), p = 0.011; HR = 0.73 (95% CI 0.56-0.96), p = 0.025, respectively). In the mIDH1 group, overall survival (OS) was improved compared to no-IDH (HR = 0.68 (95% CI 0.48-0.94), p = 0.021), whereas mIDH2 was associated with lower incidence of relapse (HR = 0.49 (95% CI 0.34-0.7), p < 0.001), improved leukemia free survival (LFS) (HR = 0.7 (95% CI 0.55-0.9), p = 0.004) and OS (HR = 0.74 (95% CI 0.56-0.97), p = 0.027). In the subgroup of NPM1 wild type, only IDH2 was associated with improved outcomes. In conclusion, our data suggest that IDH1 and IDH2 mutations are associated with improved outcomes in patients with AML undergoing allo-HCT in CR1.
RESUMEN
We assessed outcomes of allogeneic transplantation (HSCT) in favorable risk AML in CR1 over 3 time periods. 1850 patients were included, 2005 to 2009- 222, 2010 to 2014 -392, and 2015 to 2021-1236; 526 with t (8:21), 625 with inv (16), and 699 with NPM1mutFLT3WT. Patients transplanted in 2015-2021 were older (p < 0.0001) with more patients ≥60 years of age (p < 0.0001). The most frequent diagnosis in 2015-2021 was NPM1mutFLT3WT vs. t (8:21) in the 2 earlier periods, (p < 0001). Haploidentical transplants (Haplo) increased from 5.9% to 14.5% (p < 0.0001). Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) was more frequent in 2015-2021 vs. the other 2 periods (p < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, incidence of total chronic GVHD was reduced in HSCTs performed ≥2015 vs. those performed in 2005-2009, hazard ratio (HR) = 0.74 (95% CI 0.56-0.99, p = 0.046) and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) improved for patients transplanted from 2010-2014 vs. those transplanted in 2005-2009, HR = 0.74 (95% CI 0.56-0.98, p = 0.037). Other HSCT outcomes did not differ with no improvement ≥2015. LFS, OS, and GRFS were inferior in patients with t (8:21) with HR = 1.32 (95% CI 1.03-1.68, p = 0.026), HR = 1.38 (95% CI 1.04-1.83, p = 0.027) and HR = 01.25 (95% CI 1.02-1.53, p = 0.035), respectively. In conclusion, this retrospective analysis of HSCT in patients with favorable risk AML, transplanted over 16 years showed an increased number of transplants in patients ≥60 years, from Haplo donors with PTCy. Most importantly, 3-year GRFS improved ≥2010 and total chronic GVHD reduced ≥2015, with no significant change in other HSCT outcomes.
RESUMEN
While HSCT is the only curative option for patients with short telomere syndromes (STSs) and severe bone marrow failure (BMF) or myeloid malignancies (MM), their increase sensitivity to conditioning regimen strongly affect outcomes. To minimize HSCT related mortality, alemtuzumab-based conditioning regimens have been proposed, but the number of patients transplanted with those regimens reported in the literature remains very low. We retrospectively analyzed outcome of adults and adolescents with STSs transplanted after an alemtuzumab, fludarabine and cyclophosphamide based regimen registered by the SFGM-TC. Seven patients were transplanted for a BMF and 5 for a MM (median age 34 years, (IQR [22-45])). The 2-year GRFS for patients with MM was 20% (95% CI [3;100]), and 57% (95% CI [30;100]) in others. In univariate (hazard ratio, HR = 6, 95% CI [1;31]) and multivariate analysis (HR = 26, 95% CI [2;414]) stem cell source was a predictive factor for GRFS. Three of the 5 patients with pre-transplant MM relapsed and 2 of them died at last follow up. The 2-year OS was 66% (95% CI [43;99]) in the whole cohort with a median follow up of 32 months (IQR [13-56]). In conclusion, Alemtuzumab-based conditioning regimen with bone marrow is an option for patients with STSs and BMF, but others modalities have to be explored for patients with MM.
RESUMEN
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) predominantly affects individuals in late childhood and young adulthood. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a curative modality particularly in the setting of poor risk genetics and/or persistent minimal residual disease. Limited studies have directly explored the impact of patient- and transplant-related factors on post-transplant outcomes in T-ALL. Using a large dataset from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation registry, we identified 1907 adult T-ALL patients (70% male) who underwent their first allo-HSCT in first complete remission (CR1) from matched sibling donors (MSD; 45%), unrelated donors (UD; 43%) or haploidentical donors (12%) between 2010 and 2021. The median age at transplant was 33.4 years (18.1-75). The median follow up was 2.9 years. Most patients underwent total body irradiation (TBI)-based myeloablative conditioning (69%). The 2-year overall survival (OS) was 69.4%, and leukemia -free survival (LFS) was 62.1%. In multivariate analysis, advanced age at transplant negatively affected LFS (for each 10-year increment, HR = 1.11, p = 0.004), GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) (HR = 1.06, p = 0.04), OS (HR = 1.12, p = 0.002), and non-relapse mortality (NRM) (HR = 1.23, p < 0.001). More recent years of allo-HSCT were associated with improved GFRS (For each 3-year increment, HR = 0.89, p < 0.001), OS (HR = 0.9, p = 0.02), and decreased NRM (HR = 0.82, p = 0.008). TBI improved LFS. (HR = 0.79, p = 0.02), GRFS (HR = 0.83, p = 0.04), and relapse incidence (RI) (HR = 0.65, p < 0.001). Female-to-male transplant negatively affected GRFS (HR = 1.21, p = 0.02) and OS (HR = 1.23, p = 0.048). In vivo T-cell depletion significantly improved GFRS (HR = 0.74, p < 0.001). This large study identified prognostic factors, such as age at transplant conditioning regimen, in influencing post-transplant in adult T-ALL patients undergoing allo-HSCT. Importantly, a significant improvement over time was noted. These findings hold great promise for new adapted treatment strategies and can serve as a benchmark for future studies in that setting.

In the case of donor/recipient rhesus (Rh)-incompatibility after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT), the transfusion policy in France is to transfuse red blood cells (RBC) in the donor's Rh phenotype from the day of transplantation, leading to a risk of allo-immunization, either of donor or recipient origin. In this single-center retrospective study, the incidence of donor/recipient Rh incompatibility was 7.1% over an 8-year period including 1012 alloHSCT. Six of 58 evaluable patients (10.3%) developed alloantibodies to RBC antigens within one year of alloHSCT. None of these allo-immunizations were directed against the donor-mismatched Rh antigens and none could have been prevented by the transfusion of recipient and donor Rh-compatible RBC units. None of these allo-immunizations led to immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. We observed a statistically significant higher incidence of chronic GVHD among patients with anti-RBC allo-immunization. In the context of donor/recipient Rh incompatibility, the transfusion of packed RBC units in the donor's Rh phenotype from the day of alloHSCT is feasible and not associated with a high risk of allo-immunization. The generalization of this strategy could be discussed even when donor and recipient Rh phenotypes could be respected, to allow the preservation of units of infrequent phenotypes for other indications.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: For the majority of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) an allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) in first complete remission (CR) is preferred. However, whether the number of courses required to achieve CR has a prognostic impact is unclear. It is unknown which factors remain important in patients requiring more than one course of induction to attain remission. METHODS: This Acute Leukaemia Working Party study from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation identified adults who received an allograft in first CR from either a fully matched sibling or 10/10 or 9/10 human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-matched unrelated donor (HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DR, or HLA-DQ). Univariate and multivariate analyses were undertaken to identify the prognostic impact of one or two courses of induction to attain CR. RESULTS: A total of 4995 patients were included with 3839 (77%) patients attaining a CR following one course of induction chemotherapy (IND1), and 1116 patients requiring two courses (IND2) to attain CR. IND2 as compared to IND1 was a poor prognostic factor in a univariate analysis and remained so in a multivariate Cox model, resulting in an increased hazard ratio of relapse (1.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16-1.64; p = .0003) and of death (1.27; 95% CI, 1.09-1.47; p = .002). Adverse prognostic factors in a multivariate analysis of the outcomes of patients requiring IND2 included age, FLT3-ITD, adverse cytogenetics, and performance status. Pretransplant measurable residual disease retained a prognostic impact regardless of IND1 or IND2. CONCLUSION: Initial response to chemotherapy as determined by number of courses to attain CR, retained prognostic relevance even following SCT in CR.

ABSTRACT: There is a paucity of information to guide the selection of the most suitable donor in haploidentical (Haplo) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). For this reason, from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, we conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate the impact of Haplo donor characteristics on outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who received graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). The primary end point was graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS). Overall, 2200 patients were included. The median age of donors was 37 years (range, 8-71); 820 (37%) were females, including 458 (21%) who were used for male recipients. In addition, 1631 donors (74%) donated peripheral blood (PB). Multivariable analysis identified certain donor-related risk factors with a detrimental impact on transplant outcomes. The use of PB, older donors' ages (>37 years), and female donors to male recipients negatively affected GRFS. Donor's age and female donor-to-male recipient combination also affected nonrelapse mortality, leukemia-free survival, and overall survival. In conclusion, donor-related variables significantly influence outcomes in patients with AML after Haplo-HSCT with PTCy. When possible, younger donors and male donors for male recipients should be prioritized. The use of bone marrow can additionally prevent GVHD.

Adoptive transfer of immunoregulatory cells can prevent or ameliorate graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which remains the main cause of nonrelapse mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells were recently associated with tissue repair capacities and with lower rates of GVHD in humans. Here, we analyzed the immunosuppressive effect of MAIT cells in an in vitro model of alloreactivity and explored their adoptive transfer in a preclinical xenogeneic GVHD model. We found that MAIT cells, whether freshly purified or short-term expanded, dose-dependently inhibited proliferation and activation of alloreactive T cells. In immunodeficient mice injected with human PBMCs, MAIT cells greatly delayed GVHD onset and decreased severity when transferred early after PBMC injection but could also control ongoing GVHD when transferred at delayed time points. This effect was associated with decreased proliferation and effector function of human T cells infiltrating tissues of diseased mice and was correlated with lower circulating IFN-γ and TNF-α levels and increased IL-10 levels. MAIT cells acted partly in a contact-dependent manner, which likely required direct interaction of their T cell receptor with MHC class I-related molecule (MR1) induced on host-reactive T cells. These results support the setup of clinical trials using MAIT cells as universal therapeutic tools to control severe GVHD or mucosal inflammatory disorders.

Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) has been introduced as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in mismatched and matched unrelated hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). However, data comparing outcomes of PTCY or ATG in patients undergoing a 1 antigen mismatched HCT for lymphoproliferative disease are limited. We compared PTCY versus ATG in adult patients with lymphoproliferative disease undergoing a first 9/10 MMUD HCT with a reduced intensity conditioning regimen from 2010 to 2021. Patients receiving PTCY were matched to patients receiving ATG according to: age, disease status at transplant, female to male matching, stem cell source and CMV serology. Grade II-IV acute GvHD at 100 day was 26% and 41% for the ATG and PTCY group, respectively (p = 0.08). Grade III-IV acute GvHD was not significantly different between the two groups. No differences were observed in relapse incidence, non-relapse mortality, progression-free survival, overall survival and GvHD-relapse-free survival at 1 year. The cumulative incidence of 1-year extensive chronic GvHD was 18% in the ATG and 5% in the PTCY group, respectively (p = 0.06). In patients with lymphoproliferative diseases undergoing 9/10 MMUD HCT, PTCY might be a safe option providing similar results to ATG prophylaxis. Due to the limited number of patients, prospective randomized trials are needed.

In the 2022 European LeukemiaNet classification, patients with nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1)-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were classified in the adverse-risk category in the presence of high-risk cytogenetics (CG). Nonetheless, the impact of various CG aberrations on posttransplant outcomes remains to be unraveled. This registry study analyzed adult patients with NPM1-mutated de novo AML who underwent their first allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in the first complete remission from 2005 to 2021. A total of 3275 patients were identified, 2782 had normal karyotype, 493 had chromosomal aberrations including 160 with adverse-risk CG, 72 patients had complex karyotype (CK), and 66 monosomal karyotype (MK). Overall, 2377 (73%) patients had FLT3-ITD. On univariate analysis, only FLT3-ITD, minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) positivity and CK, but not abnormal CG, affected posttransplant outcomes. On multivariable analysis, CK was associated with lower overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio [HR] 1.72, p = .009). In the subgroup of 493 patients with aberrant CG, the 2-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) and OS were around 61% and 68%, respectively. On multivariable analysis for this subgroup, CK and MRD positivity were associated with increased risk of relapse (HR 1.7, p = .025; and 1.99, p = .003 respectively) and worse LFS (HR 1.62, p = .018; and 1.64, p = .011 respectively) while FLT3-ITD, MK, or other CG abnormalities had no significant effect. Importantly, CK negatively affected OS (HR 1.91, p = .002). In the first complete remission transplant setting, CK was found as the only cytogenetic risk factor for worse outcomes in NPM1-mutated AML. Nevertheless, even for this subgroup, a significant proportion of patients can achieve long-term posttransplant survival.

Epstein-Barr virus-positive (EBV+) post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is an ultra-rare and aggressive condition that may occur following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) due to immunosuppression. Approximately half of EBV+ PTLD cases are relapsed or refractory (R/R) to initial rituximab-containing therapy. There are limited treatment options and no standard of care for patients with R/R EBV+ PTLD, and little is known about their treatment history and outcomes. We performed a multinational, multicenter, retrospective chart review of patients with R/R EBV+ PTLD following HCT to describe patients' demographic and disease characteristics, treatment history, and overall survival (OS) from rituximab failure. Among 81 patients who received initial treatment with rituximab as monotherapy (84.0%) or in combination with chemotherapy (16.0%), median time from HCT to PTLD diagnosis was 3.0 months and median OS was 0.7 months. Thirty-six patients received a subsequent line of treatment. The most frequent causes of death were PTLD (56.8%), graft-versus-host disease (13.5%) and treatment-related mortality (10.8%). In multivariate analysis, early PTLD onset and lack of response to initial treatment were associated with mortality. This real-world study demonstrates that the prognosis of patients with R/R EBV+ PTLD following HCT remains poor, highlighting the urgent unmet medical need in this population.

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%; Pâ¯=â¯.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%; Pâ¯=â¯.02), resulting in a higher overall survival (OS) rate (82% versus 70%; Pâ¯=â¯.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.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains the best consolidation strategy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with complex karyotype (CK). However, CK is a heterogenous and highly diverse entity. Numerical abnormalities have been associated with a controversial prognosis and AML with only multiple numerical abnormalities known as pure hyperdiploid karyotype (HDK) may have a distinct prognosis after allo-HCT compared to non-pure HDK CK AML. A total of 236 patients were identified within the EBMT registry as having HDK comprising 95 pure (pHDK) and 141 with other cytogenetic abnormalities (HDK+). The 2-year probability of leukemia-free survival (LFS) was 50% for pHDK and 31% for HDK+ (p = 0.003). The 2-year probability of overall survival (OS) was 57% for pHDK and 36% for HDK+ (p = 0.007). The 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse (RI) was 22% for pHDK and 44% for HDK+ (p = 0.001). The 2-year probability of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD)-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS) was 36% for pHDK and 21% for HDK+ (p = 0.01). On multivariate analysis, pHDK remained associated with significantly better LFS, OS and GRFS and lower RI (all p-values <0.004). pHDK AML constitutes probably a distinct cytogenetic entity from HDK+ or other non-hyperdiploid CK AML with better outcomes after allo-HCT.

We conducted a registry analysis including adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in remission who had received thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine (TBF) or treosulfan-based (Treo) conditioning for haplo-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) between 2010 and 2020. A total of 1123 patients met the inclusion criteria (968 received TBF and 155 received Treo). A 1:1 matched-pair analysis was performed on 142 TBF and 142 Treo patients. In the Treo group, 68% of patients received treosulfan at a dose ≥36 g/m2 and 54% of patients received a second alkylator (thiotepa or melphalan). We observed a trend toward increased incidence of grade II-IV acute (a) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) at 180 days in the TBF group compared with Treo (29% versus 20%; P = 0.08), while incidence of grade III-IV aGVHD was not statistically different. Similarly, the incidence of chronic (c) GVHD was not statistically different in the 2 groups. Incidence of nonrelapse mortality at 2 years was 19% in TBF and 14% in Treo (P = 0.4). Relapse incidence at 2 years was not statistically different in the 2 groups (16% and 18% in TBF and Treo, respectively; P = 0.9). Leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival was 65% versus 68% (P = 0.6), 73% versus 76% (P = 0.5), and 54% versus 53% (P = 0.8) in TBF versus Treo, respectively. In conclusion, we did not find a significant difference between the 2 conditioning in the present study; Treo and TBF represent 2 valid alternative regimens for haplo-HSCT with PTCy for AML in remission.
RESUMEN
We compared outcomes, of 1609 patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) undergoing allogeneic transplantation (HSCT) in first complete remission (CR1) from matched unrelated donors (MUD) from 2010 to 2021, receiving or not receiving anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) (ATG-1308, no ATG-301). Median age was 60.9 (range, 18.5-77.8) and 61.1 (range, 21.8-75.7) years, (p = 0.3). Graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was cyclosporin-A with methotrexate (41%) or mycophenolate mofetil (38.2%), without significant differences between groups. Day 28, engraftment (ANC > 0.5 × 109/L) was 92.3% vs 95.3% (p = 0.17), respectively. On multivariate analysis, ATG was associated with lower incidence of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute GVHD (p = 0.002 and p = 0.015), total and extensive chronic GVHD (p = 0.008 and p < 0.0001), and relapse incidence (RI) (p = 0.039), while non-relapse mortality (NRM) did not differ (p = 0.51). Overall survival (OS), and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) were significantly higher in the ATG vs no ATG group, HR = 0.76 (95% CI 0.61-0.95, p = 0.014) and HR = 0.68 (95% CI 0.57-0.8, p < 0.0001), with a tendency for better leukemia-free survival (LFS), HR = 0.82 (95% CI 0.67-1, p = 0.051). The main causes of death were the original disease, infection, and GVHD. In conclusion, ATG reduces GVHD and improves LFS, OS, and GRFS in sAML patients without increasing the RI, despite sAML being a high-risk disease.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare two immunosuppressive strategies, based on the use of either rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY), as a prophylaxis of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in first complete remission who underwent hematopoietic cells transplantation from matched unrelated donors. METHODS: Overall, 117 and 779 adult patients who received PTCY and ATG, respectively, between the years 2015 and 2020 were included in this retrospective study. The median patient age was 40 and 43 years in the PTCY and ATG groups, respectively, and 37% and 35% of patients, respectively, had Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL. RESULTS: In univariate analysis, the cumulative incidence of acute and chronic GVHD did not differ significantly between the study groups. The cumulative incidence of relapse at 2 years was reduced in the PTCY group (18% vs. 25%; p = .046) without a significant impact on nonrelapse mortality (11% vs. 16% in the ATG group; p = .29). The rates of leukemia-free survival (LFS) and overall survival were 71% versus 59%, respectively (p = .01), and 82% versus 74%, respectively (p = .08). In multivariate analysis, the receipt of ATG compared with PTCY was associated with a reduced risk of extensive chronic GVHD (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% confidence interval, 0.3-0.98; p = .04) and an increased risk of low LFS (hazard ratio, 1.57; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-2.45; p = .045). CONCLUSIONS: The receipt of ATG compared with PTCY, despite the reduced risk of extensive chronic GVHD, is associated with inferior LFS in adults with ALL who undergo hematopoietic cell transplantation from 10/10 human leukocyte antigen-matched unrelated donors. These findings warrant verification in prospective trials.
