Total body irradiation versus thiotepa/busulfan-based conditioning regimens for myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Bone Marrow Transplant 2024:10.1038/s41409-024-02298-z. [PMID: 38755458 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-024-02298-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Total body irradiation (TBI)-based conditioning regimens are generally recommended for allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Recent evidence suggests that modern chemotherapy-based regimens may be as effective. This multicenter retrospective study compared the clinical outcomes of myeloablative allo-HSCT with thiotepa, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide/fludarabine (TTB) to TBI-based conditioning. Between 2002 to 2018, 63 and 114 patients received TTB- and TBI-based conditioning regimens, respectively. The 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse was lower in the TBI cohort compared to the TTB cohort (30% [95% CI, 22-38] versus 47% [95% CI, 36-59]; P = 0.03). Multivariate analysis identified T-ALL, Ph-negative B-ALL, and measurable residual disease associated with a higher relapse risk. The 5-year cumulative incidence of non-relapsed mortality (NRM) was significantly lower with TTB (12% [95% CI, 5-20]) compared to TBI (25% [95% CI, 18-33]) (P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis found TBI conditioning, older age, and advanced stages of ALL at transplantation associated with a higher NRM. No statistical difference was seen in overall survival (49% [95% CI, 40-58] and 46% [95% CI, 35-60]) in the TBI and TTB groups, respectively; P = 0.9). The study suggests that TTB-based conditioning may be a promising option for ALL patients undergoing allo-HSCT, as it resulted in similar OS and lower NRM than TBI-based conditioning.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Experts from the European Leukemia Net (ELN) working group for adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia have identified an unmet need for guidance regarding management of adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) from diagnosis to aftercare. The group has previously summarized their recommendations regarding diagnostic approaches, prognostic factors, and assessment of ALL. The current recommendation summarizes clinical management. It covers treatment approaches, including the use of new immunotherapies, application of minimal residual disease for treatment decisions, management of specific subgroups, and challenging treatment situations as well as late effects and supportive care. The recommendation provides guidance for physicians caring for adult patients with ALL which has to be complemented by regional expertise preferably provided by national academic study groups.

[PMID: 38473227 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16050865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Novelty in total body irradiation (TBI) as part of pre-transplant conditioning regimens lacked until recently, despite the developments in the field of allogeneic stem cell transplants. Long-term toxicities have been one of the major concerns associated with TBI in this setting, although the impact of TBI is not so easy to discriminate from that of chemotherapy, especially in the adult population. More recently, lower-intensity TBI and different approaches to irradiation (namely, total marrow irradiation, TMI, and total marrow and lymphoid irradiation, TMLI) were implemented to keep the benefits of irradiation and limit potential harm. TMI/TMLI is an alternative to TBI that delivers more selective irradiation, with healthy tissues being better spared and the control of the radiation dose delivery. In this review, we discussed the potential radiation-associated long-term toxicities and their management, summarized the evidence regarding the current indications of traditional TBI, and focused on the technological advances in radiotherapy that have resulted in the development of TMLI. Finally, considering the most recent published trials, we postulate how the role of radiotherapy in the setting of allografting might change in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of secondary malignancies associated with busulfan exposure is considered low, but has been poorly characterized. Because this alkylating agent is increasingly utilized as conditioning prior to gene therapy in nonmalignant hematologic and related disorders, more precise characterization of busulfan's potential contribution to subsequent malignant risk is warranted. PROCEDURE We conducted a literature-based assessment of busulfan and subsequent late effects, with emphasis on secondary malignancies, identifying publications via PubMed searches, and selecting those reporting at least 3 years of follow-up. RESULTS We identified eight pediatric and 13 adult publications describing long-term follow-up in 570 pediatric and 2076 adult hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Secondary malignancies were reported in 0.5% of pediatric HCT recipients, with no cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myelocytic leukemia (AML). Fatal secondary malignancies were reported in 0.8% of 1887 evaluable adult HCT recipients, and an overall incidence of secondary malignancies of 4.8% was reported in a subset of 389 evaluable adult patients. We also reviewed long-term results from eight publications evaluating lentiviral- and human promotor-based HSC-targeted gene therapy in 215 patients with nonmalignant conditions, in which busulfan/treosulfan monotherapy or busulfan/fludarabine was the only conditioning. Two malignancies were reported in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), one of which was potentially busulfan-related. No additional malignancies were reported in 173 patients with follow-up of 5-12 years. CONCLUSION The incidence of busulfan-related secondary malignancies is low, and likely to be substantially less than 1% in pediatric transplant recipients, especially those receiving busulfan monotherapy for nonmalignant conditions other than SCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcome in older patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remains unsatisfactory due to high relapse and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) rates. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) as postremission therapy has an important role in reducing relapse rate, albeit its application is limited in older adult patients due to alloHSCT-related morbidity and mortality. Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) alloHSCT has been developed as a less toxic conditioning regimen, but comparative studies with myeloablative conditioning (MAC) are limited in patients with ALL. METHODS In this retrospective study, RIC-alloHSCT (n = 111) was compared with MAC-alloHSCT (n = 77) in patients aged 41 to 65 y with ALL in first complete remission. MAC was predominantly applied by combining high-dose total body irradiation and cyclophosphamide, whereas RIC mainly consisted of fludarabine and 2 Gy total body irradiation. RESULTS Unadjusted overall survival was 54% (95% confidence interval [CI], 42%-65%) at 5 y in MAC recipients compared with 39% (95% CI, 29%-49%) in RIC recipients. Overall survival and relapse-free survival were not significantly associated with type of conditioning after adjusted for the covariates age, leukemia risk status at diagnosis, donor type, and donor and recipient gender combination. NRM was significantly lower after RIC (subdistribution hazard ratio: 0.41, 95% CI, 0.22-0.78; P = 0.006), whereas relapse was significantly higher (subdistribution hazard ratio: 3.04, 95% CI, 1.71-5.40; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Collectively, RIC-alloHSCT has resulted in less NRM, but it was also found to be associated with a significantly higher relapse rate. These results suggest that MAC-alloHSCT may provide a more effective type of consolidation therapy for the reduction of relapse and that RIC-alloHSCT may be restricted to patients at higher risk for NRM.

Abstract
One of the consistent features in development of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the rapidity with which discoveries in the laboratory are translated into innovations in clinical care. Just a few years after murine studies demonstrated that rescue from radiation induced marrow failure is mediated by cellular not humoral factors, E. Donnall Thomas reported on the transfer of bone marrow cells into irradiated leukemia patients. This was followed quickly by the first descriptions of Graft versus Leukemia (GvL) effect and Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD). Despite the pivotal nature of these findings, early human transplants were uniformly unsuccessful and identified the challenges that continue to thwart transplanters today - leukemic relapse, regimen related toxicity, and GvHD. While originally only an option for young, fit patients with a matched family donor, expansion of the donor pool to include unrelated donors, umbilical cord blood units, and more recently the growing use of haploidentical donors have all made transplant a more accessible therapy for patients with ALL. Novel agents for conditioning, prevention and treatment of GvHD have improved outcomes and investigators continue to develop novel treatment strategies that balance regimen related toxicity with disease control. Our evolving understanding of how to prevent and treat GvHD and how to prevent relapse are incorporated into novel clinical trials that are expected to further improve outcomes. Here we review current considerations and future directions for both adult and pediatric patients undergoing HCT for ALL, including indication for transplant, donor selection, cytoreductive regimens, and outcomes.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective therapy for acute leukemia (AL). Relapse represents the main cause of mortality. Isolated extramedullary relapse (iEMR) is atypical and has been related to better outcomes. Here we describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of AL relapse after HSCT in our study population and analyze the impacts of different types of relapse on survival outcomes. This retrospective, multicenter study included 124 patients age ≥15 years with AL who underwent HSCT between 2004 and 2019. At diagnosis, 66.1% of the patients had lymphocytic AL, 19.7% presented with high-risk features, and 18.5% had extramedullary disease (EMD). At HSCT, 83.1% of the patients were in complete remission (CR), and 44.8% had negative measurable residual disease (MRD). The vast majority of donors were related (96%), including 48.4% HLA-matched and 47.6% haploidentical. Myeloablative conditioning was provided to 80.6% of patients. The median overall survival (OS) was 15 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 9.9 to 20.1 months). Factors associated with improved OS were adolescent and young adult (AYA) patient (P = .035), first or second CR (P = .026), and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (P < .001). Acute GVHD grade III-IV (P = .009) was associated with increased mortality. The median relapse-free survival was 13 months (95% CI, 7.17 to 18.8 months); early disease status (P = .017) and chronic GVHD (P < .001) had protective roles. Sixty-eight patients (55%) relapsed after HSCT, with a median time to relapse of 6 months (95% CI, 3.6 to 8.4 months). iEMR was reported in 16 patients (23.5%). The most commonly involved extramedullary sites were the central nervous system and skin. Compared to patients with bone marrow relapse, all patients with iEMR had a diagnosis of acute lymphoid leukemia (P = .008), and 93.8% belonged to the AYA group; regarding pre-HSCT characteristics, iEMR patients had higher rates of negative MRD (P = .06) and a history of EMD (P = .009). Seventy-seven percent of relapsed patients received additional treatment with curative intent. The median OS after relapse (OSr) was 4 months (95% CI, 2.6 to 5.4 months). Factors related to increased OSr included lymphoid phenotype (P = .03), iEMR (P = .0042), late relapse (≥6 months) (P = .014), receipt of systemic therapy including second HSCT (P < .001), and response to therapy (P < .001). Rates of relapse and iEMR were higher than those previously reported in other studies. Advanced disease, reduced-intensity conditioning, and a diminished graft-versus-leukemia effect were factors influencing these findings. At relapse, presenting with iEMR after 6 months and receiving intensive therapy with adequate response were associated with better outcomes. Our results strongly suggest that a personalized approach to treating patients with HSCT is needed to counterbalance specific adverse factors and can positively impact clinical outcomes.

The impacts of total body irradiation on umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Ther Adv Hematol 2023; 14:20406207231170708. [PMID: 37151808 PMCID: PMC10161310 DOI: 10.1177/20406207231170708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells are commonly used for hematopoietic system reconstitution in recipients after umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). However, the optimal conditioning regimen for UCBT remains a topic of debate. The exact impact of total body irradiation (TBI) as a part of conditioning regimens remains unknown. Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the impacts of TBI on UCBT outcomes. Design This was a multi-institution retrospective study. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the outcomes of 136 patients receiving UCBT. Sixty-nine patients received myeloablative conditioning (MAC), in which 33 underwent TBI and 36 did not, and 67 patients received reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC), in which 43 underwent TBI and 24 did not. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to compare the outcomes and the post-transplant complications between patients who did and did not undergo TBI in the MAC subgroup and RIC subgroup, respectively. Results In the RIC subgroup, patients who underwent TBI had superior overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 0.25, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.09-0.66, p = 0.005) and progression-free survival (aHR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.10-0.66, p = 0.005). However, in the MAC subgroup, there were no statistically significant differences between those receiving and not receiving TBI. Conclusion In the setting of RIC in UCBT, TBI utilization can improve overall survival and progression-free survival. However, TBI does not show superiority in the MAC setting.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic renal failure, and tubular abnormalities represent the kidney disease spectrum of malignancy. Prompt diagnosis and treatment may prevent or reverse these complications. The pathogenesis of AKI in cancer is multifactorial. AKI affects outcomes in cancer, oncological therapy withdrawal, increased hospitalization rate, and hospital stay. Renal function derangement can be recovered with early detection and targeted therapy of cancers. Identifying patients at higher risk of renal damage and implementing preventive measures without sacrificing the benefits of oncological therapy improve survival. Multidisciplinary approaches, such as relieving obstruction, hydration, etc., are required to minimize the kidney injury rate. Different keywords, texts, and phrases were used to search Google, EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for related original and review articles that serve the article's aim well. In this nonsystematic article, we aimed to review the published data on cancer-associated kidney complications, their pathogenesis, management, prevention, and the latest updates. Kidney involvement in cancer occurs due to tumor therapy, direct kidney invasion by tumor, or tumor complications. Early diagnosis and therapy improve the survival rate. Pathogenesis of cancer-related kidney involvement is different and complicated. Clinicians' awareness of all the potential causes of cancer-related complications is essential, and a kidney biopsy should be conducted to confirm the kidney pathologies. Chronic kidney disease is a known complication in malignancy and therapies. Hence, avoiding nephrotoxic drugs, dose standardization, and early cancer detection are mandatory measures to prevent renal involvement.

Abstract
Prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) starting at 6 months after T cell-depleted allogeneic stem cell transplantation (TCD-alloSCT) can introduce a graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effects with low risk of severe graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD). We established a policy to apply low-dose early DLI at 3 months after alloSCT to prevent early relapse. This study analyzes this strategy retrospectively. Of 220 consecutive acute leukemia patients undergoing TCD-alloSCT, 83 were prospectively classified to have a high relapse risk and 43 were scheduled for early DLI. 95% of these patients received freshly harvested DLI within 2 weeks of the planned date. In patients transplanted with reduced intensity conditioning and an unrelated donor, we found an increased cumulative incidence of GvHD between 3 and 6 months after TCD-alloSCT for patients receiving DLI at 3 months compared to patients who did not receive this DLI (0.42 (95%Confidence Interval (95% CI): 0.14-0.70) vs 0). Treatment success was defined as being alive without relapse or need for systemic immunosuppressive GvHD treatment. The five-year treatment success in patients with acute lymphatic leukemia was comparable between high- and non-high-risk disease (0.55 (95% CI: 0.42-0.74) and 0.59 (95% CI: 0.42-0.84)). It remained lower in high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (0.29 (95% CI: 0.18-0.46)) than in non-high-risk AML (0.47 (95% CI: 0.42-0.84)) due to an increased relapse rate despite early DLI.

Abstract
PURPOSE It remains controversial whether busulfan-based versus total body irradiation (TBI)-based regimens have comparable outcomes in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We investigated the efficacy and toxicity of busulfan plus cyclophosphamide (BuCy) and TBI plus cyclophosphamide (TBI-Cy) conditioning in allo-HSCT for adult standard-risk B-cell-ALL in first complete remission (CR1). PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed an open-label, randomized phase III trial at 13 hospitals in China. Eligible patients (age 14-65 years) had standard-risk ALL in CR1. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to BuCy (0.8 mg/kg four times per day on days -7 to -4 and cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg once daily on days -3 to -2) or TBI-Cy (4.5 Gy TBI on days -5 to -4 and cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg once daily on days -3 to -2). The primary end point was 2-year overall survival. Analysis was per protocol. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT02670252) and is complete. RESULTS Between January 2016 and February 2020, 275 patients were assigned to receive BuCy (273 assessed) and 275 to TBI-Cy (272 assessed). The 2-year overall survival was 76.6% (95% CI, 71.7 to 81.8) and 79.4% (74.7 to 84.4; P = .457; difference 2.9%; 95% CI, -4.1 to 9.8; P = .022), indicating noninferiority of BuCy. The 2-year relapse was 20.2% (95% CI, 15.6 to 25.1) and 18.4% (14.0 to 23.2; P = .616), and the nonrelapse mortality was 11.0% (95% CI, 7.6 to 15.0) and 11.0% (7.7 to 15.1; P = .988) in the BuCy and TBI-Cy groups, respectively. There were no differences in regimen-related toxicity, graft-versus-host disease, or late effects between the two groups. CONCLUSION The BuCy regimen has noninferior efficiency and safety as TBI-Cy (4.5 Gy × 2) for patients with adult standard-risk B cell-ALL in CR1 undergoing HLA-matched allo-HSCT.

Abstract
Background Patients with refractory/relapsed (r/r) acute B lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) can achieve complete response (CR) after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, but recurrence occurs in the short term. To reduce recurrence and improve survival, CAR-T therapy followed by transplantation is a feasible option. We analyzed the long-term follow-up outcomes and the risk factors for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) after CR by CAR-T therapy in this study. Methods A total of 144 patients who underwent allo-HSCT after CAR-T therapy in our hospital were enrolled in this study. Target gene analysis was performed in 137 r/r B-ALL patients receiving allo-HSCT after CR by CAR-T therapy. Among the 137 patients, 87 were evaluated for germline predisposition gene mutations, and 92 were evaluated for tumor somatic gene mutations using NGS. The clinical factors, germline predisposition gene and somatic gene mutations associated with the prognosis of patients receiving transplantation after CAR-T therapy were analyzed using univariate Cox regression. Factors related to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results In 137 r/r B-ALL patients, the 2-year cumulative incidence of recurrence (CIR), OS and DFS in patients receiving allo-HSCT after CAR-T therapy was 31.5%, 71.4%, and 60.5%, respectively. The 2-year OS and DFS in MRD-negative patients were 80.9% and 69.3%, respectively. Univariate Cox analysis showed that pretransplant MRD positivity, fungal infection, germline EP300 mutation and somatic TP53 mutation were associated with a poor prognosis after transplantation; a TBI-based regimen was a protective factor for survival and recurrence after transplantation. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the TBI-based regimen was an independent protective factor for DFS, fungal infection and MRD positivity were independent risk factors for DFS, and tumor somatic TP53 mutation and germline EP300 mutation were independent risk factors for DFS and OS. Conclusion Germline EP300 mutation and tumor somatic TP53 mutation are poor prognostic factors for posttransplant recurrence and survival in r/r B-ALL patients achieving CR after CAR-T therapy. The prognostic risk factors should be considered in adjusting treatment strategies to improve the efficacy of clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) helps achieve good radiation dose conformity and precise dose evaluation. We conducted a single-centre prospective study to assess the safety and feasibility of total body irradiation with IMRT (IMRT-TBI) using helical tomotherapy in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-nine adult patients with haematological malignancy (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia [n = 21], chronic myeloid leukaemia [n = 6], mixed phenotype acute leukaemia [n = 5], acute myeloid leukaemia [n = 4], and malignant lymphoma [n = 3]) who received 12 Gy IMRT-TBI were enrolled with a median follow-up of 934.5 (range, 617-1254) d. At the time of transplantation, 33 patients (85%) achieved complete remission. The conditioning regimen used IMRT-TBI (12 Gy in 6 fractions twice daily, for 3 d) and cyclophosphamide (60 mg/kg/d, for 2 d), seven patients were combined with cytarabine, and five with etoposide. We set dose constraints for the lungs, kidneys and lens as the organs at risk. RESULTS The mean doses for the lungs and kidneys were 7.50 and 9.11 Gy, respectively. The mean maximum dose for the lens (right/left) was 5.75/5.87 Gy. The 2-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were 69, 64, 18 and 18%, respectively. Thirty-six patients developed early adverse events (AEs) (including four patients with Grade 3/4 toxicities), most of which were reversible oral mucositis and may partially have been related to IMRT-TBI. However, the incidence of toxicity was comparable to conventional TBI-based conditioning transplantation. None of the patients developed primary graft failure, or Grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In late complications, chronic kidney disease was observed in six patients, a lower incidence compared to conventional TBI-based conditioning transplantation. No radiation pneumonitis or cataracts were observed in any of the patients. CONCLUSIONS IMRT-TBI is safe and feasible for haematological malignancies with acceptable clinical outcomes.KEY MESSAGESIMRT-TBI-helical tomotherapy aids in accurate dose calculation and conformity.It could be used without any considerable increase in the rate of TBI-related AEs.Allo-HSCT with IMRT-TBI may be an alternative to conventional TBI for clinical use.

Logan AC. SOHO State of the Art Updates and Next Questions: Novel Transplant and Post-Transplant Options in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA, MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2022; 22:569-574. [PMID: 35410757 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2022.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) is a potentially curative treatment approach for patients with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Despite development of several novel therapies targeting B-cell ALL, alloHCT continues to play an essential role in management, but the identification of patients who are most likely to benefit from alloHCT in first or subsequent remissions continues to evolve. Broader donor options, including haploidentical donors and umbilical cord blood, have enabled alloHCT for more patients, but improvements in front-line therapy and increasing use of high-sensitivity measurable residual disease (MRD) quantification continue to modify the calculus for selecting which patients require transplantation. MRD quantification has become increasingly important as a prognostic indicator, as well as a trigger for therapeutic intervention, since the achievement of MRD negative complete remission is well-established to be associated with improved transplant outcomes. ALL remains the only malignancy with approved therapy for MRD positivity after achievement of remission, and use of Blinatumomab in this setting currently appears to be most effective when used as a bridge-to-transplant, rather than a destination or purely consolidative therapy. Expanding options for those with relapsed/refractory disease, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells, also render more patient in suitably deep remissions to enable alloHCT with a high likelihood of success. It remains unclear whether CAR-T cell therapies may obviate the need for alloHCT in some patients, and currently available data suggest there remains a role for alloHCT after CAR-T. Together, these therapeutic advances appear to be improving post-transplant outcomes. Nevertheless, more remains to be studied regarding how to optimize use of available and emerging cellular and immune modulating therapies to maximize the likelihood of long-term post-alloHCT remission in high-risk ALL.

Abstract
The outcome of refractory/relapsed (R/R) acute leukemias is still dismal and their treatment represents an unmet clinical need. However, allogeneic transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains the only potentially curative approach in this setting. A prospective study (GANDALF-01, NCT01814488; EUDRACT:2012-004008-37) on transplantation with alternative donors had been run by GITMO using a homogeneous myeloablative conditioning regimen with busulfan, thiotepa and fludarabine while GVHD prophylaxis was stratified by donor type. The study enrolled 101 patients; 90 found an alternative donor and 87 ultimately underwent allo-HSCT. Two-year overall survival of the entire and of the transplant population (primary endpoint) were 19% and 22%, without significant differences according to disease, donor type and disease history (relapsed vs refractory patients). Two-year progression-free survival was 19% and 17% respectively. The cumulative incidences of relapse and non-relapse mortality were 49% and 33% at two years. Acute grade II-IV and chronic GVHD occurred in 23 and 10 patients. Dose intensification with a myeloablative two-alkylating regimen as sole strategy for transplanting R/R acute leukemia does seem neither to improve the outcome nor to control disease relapse. A pre-planned relapse prevention should be included in the transplant strategy in this patient population.

Effect of GSTA1 Variants on Busulfan-Based Conditioning Regimen Prior to Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation in Pediatric Asians. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14020401. [PMID: 35214132 PMCID: PMC8880478 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14020401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Busulfan is widely used as a chemotherapy treatment before hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). However, the response of busulfan is highly variable and unpredictable, whereby the pharmacogenetic interference of glutathione S-transferase (GST) has strong evidence in Caucasians and some adult Asians but not in pediatric Asian patients. This study was aimed at investigating the associations of GST genetic polymorphisms with variations in the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of busulfan in pediatric Asian patients. This retrospective cohort study recruited 92 pediatric patients. The polymorphism of GSTA1 was genotyped by Sanger sequencing, and GSTM1 and GSTP1 were genotyped by real-time PCR. Drug concentration and PK estimation were identified using an LC-MS/MS method and a noncompartmental model. Statistical analysis was performed by R software. Out of 92 patients, 48 (53%) were males, the mean age was 8.4 ± 5.12 years old, and the average weight was 26.52 ± 14.75 kg. The allele frequencies of GSTA1*B and of GSTM1 and GSTP1* deletions were 16.9%, 68.5%, and 21.2%, respectively. Patients with GSTA1*B had a statistically significant impact on the PK of busulfan, whereas those with GSTM1 and GSTP1 did not (p > 0.05). The carriers of GSTA1*B showed a significant difference compared to noncarriers in terms of t1/2 (for first dose: 161.9 vs. 134.3 min, p = 0.0016; for second dose: 156.1 vs. 129.8, p = 0.012), CL (88.74 vs. 124.23 mL/min, p = 0.0089), Cmax (4232.6 vs. 3675.5 ng/mL, p = 0.0021), and AUC (5310.6 vs. 4177.1 µM/min, p = 0.00033). The augmentation of AUC was around 27.1% in patients carrying the GSTA1*B variant. The GSTA1 polymorphism was significantly associated with variations of the pharmacokinetic properties of busulfan treatment in pediatric Asian patients.

Total body irradiation plus fludarabine versus thiotepa, busulfan plus fludarabine as a myeloablative conditioning for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation. A study by the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the EBMT. Bone Marrow Transplant 2022; 57:399-406. [PMID: 35031709 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-021-01550-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Optimal conditioning for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) and post-transplant cyclophosphamide has not been established so far. We retrospectively compared outcomes for two myeloablative regimens: fludarabine + total body irradiation (Flu-TBI, n = 117) and thiotepa + iv. busulfan + fludarabine (TBF, n = 119). Patients transplanted either in complete remission (CR) or with active disease were included in the analysis. The characteristics of both groups were comparable except for patients treated with TBF were older. In univariate analysis the incidence of non-relapse mortality (NRM) at 2 years was increased for TBF compared to Flu-TBI (31% vs. 19.5%, p = 0.03). There was a tendency towards reduced incidence of relapse after TBF (p = 0.11). Results of multivariate analysis confirmed a reduced risk of NRM using Flu-TBI (HR = 0.49, p = 0.03). In the analysis restricted to patients treated in CR1 or CR2, the use of Flu-TBI was associated with a decreased risk of NRM (HR = 0.34, p = 0.009) but an increased risk of relapse (HR = 2.59, p = 0.01) without significant effect on survival and graft-versus-host disease. We conclude that for haplo-HCT recipients with ALL, Flu-TBI may be preferable for individuals at high risk of NRM while TBF should be considered in cases at high risk of relapse.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is one of the
consolidation modalities for adult patients with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma
(T-LBL). However, the optimal conditioning regimen needs to be explored. In the
present study, 40 patients with T-LBL undergoing allo-HSCT were retrospectively
analyzed, including 23/40 (57.5%) with total body irradiation (TBI)–based
conditioning regimen and 17/40 (42.5%) with busulfan (BU)-based regimen.
TBI–based regimen significantly increased the cumulative incidence (CI) of grade
II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) as compared with BU-based
regimen (13.0% vs 0%, P = 0.000). The relapse risk was
significantly lowered in TBI-based group with a 2-year CI of relapse (CIR) of
9.1% as compared with that of 49.6% in BU-based group (P =
0.008). The 1-year and 2-year non-relapse mortalities (NRMs) for all patients
were 5.0% and 10.3%, respectively. The 1-year and 2-year NRMs were 8.9% and
16.0% in TBI-based group, and 0.00% and 0.00% in BU-based group
(P = 0.140). The 2-year probabilities of overall survival
(OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were 83.0% [95% confidence interval,
63.4%–100%] and 74.0% (95% confidence interval, 54.4%–93.6%) in TBI-based group,
which were higher than that of 35.0% (95% confidence interval, 0.0%–72.2%) and
50.0% (95% confidence interval, 24.5%–75.4%) in BU-based group, respectively
(P = 0.020 for OS and P = 0.081 for RFS).
In multivariate analysis, TBI-based regimen significantly reduced the risk of
relapse [subdistribution hazard ratio (SHR) = 0.030, 95% CI, 0.002–0.040,
P = 0.000] and improved the OS [hazard ratio (HR) 0.121,
95% CI, 0.021–0.683, P = 0.017] as an independent prognostic
factor. These results suggested that TBI-based regimen might be an optimal
choice for adult patients with T-LBL undergoing allo-HSCT.

Challenges and opportunities targeting mechanisms of epithelial injury and recovery in acute intestinal graft-versus-host disease. Mucosal Immunol 2022; 15:605-619.

Abstract
Despite advances in immunosuppressive prophylaxis and overall supportive care, gastrointestinal (GI) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains a major, lethal side effect after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). It has become increasingly clear that the intestinal epithelium, in addition to being a target of transplant-related toxicity and GVHD, plays an important role in the onset of GVHD. Over the last two decades, increased understanding of the epithelial constituents and their microenvironment has led to the development of novel prophylactic and therapeutic interventions, with the potential to protect the intestinal epithelium from GVHD-associated damage and promote its recovery following insult. In this review, we will discuss intestinal epithelial injury and the role of the intestinal epithelium in GVHD pathogenesis. In addition, we will highlight possible approaches to protect the GI tract from damage posttransplant and to stimulate epithelial regeneration, in order to promote intestinal recovery. Combined treatment modalities integrating immunomodulation, epithelial protection, and induction of regeneration may hold the key to unlocking mucosal recovery and optimizing therapy for acute intestinal GVHD.

Abstract
Haploidentical HCT is the preferred alternate donor approach for adults with ALL. Haploidentical transplantation had similar survival compared with fully HLA-matched donor HCT but with reduced GVHD.
The role of haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is being defined. We performed a retrospective, multivariable analysis comparing outcomes of HCT approaches by donor for adults with ALL in remission. The primary objective was to compare overall survival (OS) among haploidentical HCTs using PTCy and HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD), 8/8 HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD), 7 /8 HLA-MUD, or umbilical cord blood (UCB) HCT. Comparing haploidentical HCT to MSD HCT, we found that OS, leukemia-free survival (LFS), nonrelapse mortality (NRM), relapse, and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) were not different but chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was higher in MSD HCT. Compared with MUD HCT, OS, LFS, and relapse were not different, but MUD HCT had increased NRM (hazard ratio [HR], 1.42; P = .02), grade 3 to 4 aGVHD (HR, 1.59; P = .005), and cGVHD. Compared with 7/8 UD HCT, LFS and relapse were not different, but 7/8 UD HCT had worse OS (HR, 1.38; P = .01) and increased NRM (HR, 2.13; P ≤ .001), grade 3 to 4 aGVHD (HR, 1.86; P = .003), and cGVHD (HR, 1.72; P ≤ .001). Compared with UCB HCT, late OS, late LFS, relapse, and cGVHD were not different but UCB HCT had worse early OS (≤18 months; HR, 1.93; P < .001), worse early LFS (HR, 1.40; P = .007) and increased incidences of NRM (HR, 2.08; P < .001) and grade 3 to 4 aGVHD (HR, 1.97; P < .001). Haploidentical HCT using PTCy showed no difference in survival but less GVHD compared with traditional MSD and MUD HCT and is the preferred alternative donor HCT option for adults with ALL in complete remission.

[PMID: 34534907 DOI: 10.1016/j.leukres.2021.106703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2021] [Revised: 08/28/2021] [Accepted: 09/04/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
For patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), total body irradiation (TBI) has been particularly advocated as a part of the conditioning regimen in case of extramedullary involvement in sanctuary sites such as the central nervous system (CNS), to ensure greater tissue penetration. In resource-limited countries lacking TBI facilities; however, ALL patients undergo radiation-free myeloablative conditioning, though its impacts on post-HSCT outcomes of the patients with pre-HSCT CNS involvement have not been analyzed. In this 14-year series of 278 adult (> 18 y) ALL patients undergoing TBI-free busulfan/cyclophosphamide conditioning allo-HSCT, we found that the long-term probabilities of overall survival, disease free survival, relapse and non-relapse mortality were not significantly different between CNS-involved and CNS-spared patients. Moreover, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of post-HSCT CNS relapse between CNS-involved and CNS-spared patients. Pre-HSCT cranial radiation therapy (CRT) showed no significant preventive effect on the likelihood of post-HSCT CNS relapse. Through multivariable regression analysis, grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), extensive chronic GvHD and post-HSCT relapse were ascertained as independent determinants of mortality (Adj.R2 = 53.9 %, F(12,265) = 28.1, P < 0.001), while other parameters including Philadelphia translocation, pre-HSCT CNS involvement and CRT were found to have no independent effect. Although this study was not an attempt to compare TBI-based vs. non-TBI conditioning, the TBI-free myeloablative allo-HSCT was shown to be feasible and an option for adult ALL patients with CNS involvement, considering the comparable outcomes between patients with and without CNS involvement.

Abstract
The outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with hematologic malignancies have been shown to be poorer when compared to results in children, due to a combination of higher relapse rates and greater treatment-related mortality (TRM). Although differences in relapse risk have been studied extensively, toxicity has been examined and reported less often. In this systematic review, we summarize recently published studies that have examined the differences in rates of TRM and acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in AYAs and children with hematologic malignancies, and attempt to explain why these disparities exist and how they impact outcomes. In addition, we present best practices for management of steroid-refractory GVHD that are likely to improve survival in this patient population. Further, we propose the development of personalized, risk-based approaches for the prevention and treatment of GVHD that incorporate novel platforms and interventions. We believe this individualized approach is likely to reduce toxicity and greatly improve outcomes for this vulnerable population.

Pulmonary Toxicity After Total Body Irradiation - Critical Review of the Literature and Recommendations for Toxicity Reporting. Front Oncol 2021; 11:708906. [PMID: 34513689 PMCID: PMC8428368 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.708906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total body irradiation is an effective conditioning regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation in pediatric and adult patients with high risk or relapsed/refractory leukemia. The most common adverse effect is pulmonary toxicity including idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS). As centers adopt more advanced treatment planning techniques for TBI, total marrow irradiation (TMI), or total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) there is a greater need to understand treatment-related risks for IPS for patients treated with conventional TBI. However, definitions of IPS as well as risk factors for IPS remain poorly characterized. In this study, we perform a critical review to further evaluate the literature describing pulmonary outcomes after TBI. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search of publications from 1960-2020 was undertaken in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Search terms included "total body irradiation", "whole body radiation", "radiation pneumonias", "interstitial pneumonia", and "bone marrow transplantation". Demographic and treatment-related data was abstracted and evidence quality supporting risk factors for pulmonary toxicity was evaluated. RESULTS Of an initial 119,686 publications, 118 met inclusion criteria. Forty-six (39%) studies included a definition for pulmonary toxicity. A grading scale was provided in 20 studies (17%). In 42% of studies the lungs were shielded to a set mean dose of 800cGy. Fourteen (12%) reported toxicity outcomes by patient age. Reported pulmonary toxicity ranged from 0-71% of patients treated with TBI, and IPS ranged from 1-60%. The most common risk factors for IPS were receipt of a TBI containing regimen, increasing dose rate, and lack of pulmonary shielding. Four studies found an increasing risk of pulmonary toxicity with increasing age. CONCLUSIONS Definitions of IPS as well as demographic and treatment-related risk factors remain poorly characterized in the literature. We recommend routine adoption of the diagnostic workup and the definition of IPS proposed by the American Thoracic Society. Additional study is required to determine differences in clinical and treatment-related risk between pediatric and adult patients. Further study using 3D treatment planning is warranted to enhance dosimetric precision and correlation of dose volume histograms with toxicities.

Newly proposed threshold and validation of white blood cell count at diagnosis for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia: risk assessment of relapse in patients with negative minimal residual disease at transplantation-a report from the Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Working Group of the JSTCT. Bone Marrow Transplant 2021; 56:2842-2848. [PMID: 34331021 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-021-01422-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
White blood cell count (WBC) at diagnosis is the conventional prognostic factor in Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). Nevertheless, little is known about the impact of WBC at diagnosis considering the minimal residual disease (MRD) status at allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We evaluated adult patients with Ph+ ALL who achieved negative-MRD and received HCT in first complete remission between 2006 and 2018. The entire cohort was temporally divided into derivation (n = 258) and validation cohorts (n = 366). Using a threshold of 15,000/μL, which was determined by a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis in the derivation cohort, high WBC was associated with an increased risk of hematological relapse in both the derivation cohort (25.3% vs. 11.6% at 7 years, P = 0.004) and the validation cohort (16.2% vs. 8.5% at 3 years, P = 0.025). In multivariate analyses, high WBC was a strong predictor of hematological relapse in the derivation cohort (HR, 2.52, 95%CI 1.32-4.80, P = 0.005) and in the validation cohort (HR, 2.32, 95%CI, 1.18-4.55; P = 0.015). In conclusion, WBC at diagnosis with a new threshold of 15,000/μL should contribute to better risk stratification in patients with negative-MRD at HCT.

Abstract
Background Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT) is the ultimate cure for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Aim This study was performed to compare the outcomes of ALL patients receiving busulfan (Bu) with cyclophosphamide (Cy)‐based or total body irradiation (TBI)‐based regimen in a Chinese population. Methods We enrolled 224 adult patients with ALL who received allo‐HSCT at National Taiwan University Hospital between 1997 and 2016. Results The median age at transplantation was 33 years. Before allo‐HSCT, 75.9% of patients attained first or late complete remission. A total of 141 patients (62.9%) received Bu/Cy‐based conditioning, either myeloablative (MA) or reduced‐intensity stem cell transplantation (RIST), and 83 patients received a TBI‐based regimen (MA‐TBI). Patients receiving the MA‐Bu regimen had longer relapse‐free survival (RFS) than those receiving the MA‐TBI regimen (median, 24.1 vs. 6.7 months, p = .044). There was no difference in overall survival (OS, MA‐Bu vs. MA‐TBI vs. RIST‐Bu: 39.4 vs. 28.2 vs. 13.1 months, p = .276), treatment‐related mortality (TRM), or incidences of grade 3–4 acute graft‐versus‐host disease (GvHD). Among patients receiving identical GvHD prophylactic regimens, there was no difference between MA‐Bu and MA‐TBI groups regarding the incidence of grade 3–4 acute GvHD, grade 2–4, and all‐grade chronic GvHD. In subgroup analysis, patients receiving oral busulfan had comparable RFS and OS to the intravenous busulfan group (p = .436 and p = .236, respectively), but a higher TRM (25% vs. 9.8%, p = .016). In the multivariable analysis, disease status before allo‐HSCT was the only risk factor impacting RFS and OS. Conclusion In summary, patients receiving Bu/Cy‐based or TBI‐based regimens as conditioning had similar results in terms of OS, TRM, and acute GvHD, whereas the use of myeloablative Bu/Cy resulted in a better RFS. A Bu‐based regimen could be an alternative conditioning choice for patients who are ineligible to receive TBI. Prospective and randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate the long‐term outcomes.

Abstract
The treatment landscape for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is changing. Continued investigation into the biology of ALL, and broader use and more precise methods of measuring residual disease allow for improved risk stratification of patients and identification of the subset of patients at greatest risk of disease relapse and who may benefit from hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in first complete remission. Further, recent advances in HCT preparative regimens, donor selection, graft manipulation, and graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis and treatment have resulted in fewer transplant-related morbidities and mortality and better survival outcomes. Finally, the development of effective immunotherapeutic salvage agents, such as the chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, tisagenlecleucel, have significantly changed the treatment landscape of this disease, allowing patients with advanced disease to be considered for HCT with curative intent. In this review, we will provide an update on the indications and outcome of pediatric and adult ALL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Optimal selection of pretransplant conditioning is crucially vital for improving survival and quality-of-life of patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), particularly in those with high-risk diseases. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of recently-developed reduced-toxicity myeloablative regimen that combines fludarabine, intravenous busulfan, and melphalan (FBM). METHODS We conducted a single-center retrospective analysis of 39 patients (23 with myeloid neoplasms and 16 with lymphoid neoplasms), with a median age of 50 (range, 17-68) years, who underwent their first allo-HCT using the FBM regimen. Graft types were bone marrow in 11, peripheral blood in 11, and cord blood in 17 patients. Cyclosporine- or tacrolimus-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was administered. The primary end point of the study was the overall survival rate at 2-year after transplantation. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 910 days for the surviving patients, 2-year overall survival was 62% for the entire cohort; 73% in the low-to-intermediate-risk group and 44% in the high-to-very high-risk group classified by the refined CIBMTR Disease Risk Index. Cumulative incidences of engraftment, grade II-IV acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, relapse, and non-relapse mortality were 95%, 56%, 56%, 31%, and 17%, respectively. CONCLUSION These results suggest that our FBM regimen can be applied to allo-HCT using various graft types and yields acceptable outcomes with relatively low non-relapse mortality in both myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms. Also, we observed a promising survival in the group of patients with high-risk diseases, warranting more accumulation of patients and longer follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no information on the impact of donor type in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) using homogeneous graft-versus-host (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of adult patients with ALL in CR1 that had received HCT with PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis from HLA-matched sibling (MSD) (n = 78), matched unrelated (MUD) (n = 94) and haploidentical family (Haplo) (n = 297) donors registered in the EBMT database between 2010 and 2018. The median follow-up period of the entire cohort was 2.2 years. RESULTS Median age of patients was 38 years (range 18-76). Compared to MSD and MUD, Haplo patients received peripheral blood less frequently. For Haplo, MUD, and MSD, the cumulative incidence of 100-day acute GVHD grade II-IV and III-IV, and 2-year chronic and extensive chronic GVHD were 32%, 41%, and 34% (p = 0.4); 13%, 15%, and 15% (p = 0.8); 35%, 50%, and 42% (p = 0.01); and 11%, 17%, and 21% (p = 0.2), respectively. At 2 years, the cumulative incidence of relapse and non-relapse mortality was 20%, 20%, and 28% (p = 0.8); and 21%, 18%, and 21% (p = 0.8) for Haplo, MUD, and MSD, respectively. The leukemia-free survival, overall survival and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival for Haplo, MUD, and MSD was 59%, 62%, and 51% (p = 0.8); 66%, 69%, and 62% (p = 0.8); and 46%, 44%, and 35% (p = 0.9), respectively. On multivariable analysis, transplant outcomes did not differ significantly between donor types. TBI-based conditioning was associated with better LFS. CONCLUSIONS Donor type did not significantly affect transplant outcome in patient with ALL receiving SCT with PTCy.

Measurable residual disease affects allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in Ph+ ALL during both CR1 and CR2. Blood Adv 2021; 5:584-592. [PMID: 33496752 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2020003536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2020] [Accepted: 12/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Although measurable residual disease (MRD) at the time of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) has been reported to be an important prognostic factor for Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) during first complete remission (CR1), the prognostic impact of MRD is unclear during second CR (CR2). To clarify the impact of MRD for both CR1 and CR2, we analyzed data from a registry database including 1625 adult patients with Ph+ ALL who underwent first allo-HCT during either CR1 or CR2 between 2002 and 2017. Adjusted overall and leukemia-free survival rates at 4 years were 71% and 64%, respectively, for patients undergoing allo-HCT during CR1 with MRD-, 55% and 43% during CR1 with MRD+, 51% and 49% during CR2 with MRD-, and 38% and 29% during CR2 with MRD+. Although survival rates were significantly better among patients with CR1 MRD- than among patients with CR2 MRD-, no significant difference was observed in survival rate between patients with CR1 MRD+ and CR2 MRD-. Relapse rates after 4 years were 16% in patients with CR1 MRD-, 29% in CR1 MRD+, 21% in patients with CR2 MRD-, and 46% in patients with CR2 MRD+. No significant difference was identified in relapse rate between patients with CR1 MRD- and CR2 MRD-. CR2 MRD- was not a significant risk factor for relapse in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 1.26; 95% confidence interval, 0.69-2.29; P = .45 vs CR1 MRD-). MRD at time of allo-HCT was an important risk factor in patients with Ph+ ALL during both CR1 and CR2.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curative treatment option for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Both total body irradiation (TBI)-based and chemotherapy only-based myeloablative transplantation conditioning regimens have been applied, but the optimal regimen remains unclear. We performed a systematic review to assess the efficacy of TBI-based versus chemotherapy only-based myeloablative conditioning regimens. We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases and meeting abstracts for all studies comparing TBI-based and chemotherapy only-based conditioning regimens in patients who underwent allo-HCT for ALL. Two authors independently reviewed all studies for inclusion and extracted data related to overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), nonrelapse mortality (NRM), relapse, and acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Eight studies were included in the final analysis. The overall methodological quality of the included studies was optimal. TBI-based regimens showed evidence of benefit compared with chemotherapy only-based conditioning regimens in terms of relapse (relative risk [RR], 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72 to 0.94; 6 studies, 5091 patients), OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.76; 95% CI, 0.64 to 0.89; 7 studies, 4727 patients), and PFS (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.85; 7 studies, 4727 patients). The TBI-based regimen did not increase the likelihood of grade II-IV acute GVHD (RR, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.92 to 1.36; 5 studies, 4996 patients) or chronic GVHD (RR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.21; 5 studies, 4490 patients), or NRM (RR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.69 to 1.28; 6 studies, 4522 patients). However, TBI-based regimens were associated with an increased risk of grade III-IV acute GVHD (RR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.63; 3 studies, 3675 patients). A subgroup comparison of patients age ≥16 years showed similar results. This systematic review represents evidence supporting the use of TBI-based conditioning regimen in patients undergoing allo-HCT for ALL who are candidates for myeloablative conditioning, as it offers better OS, PFS, and less relapse with acceptable NRM.

Abstract
Total body irradiation (TBI) is included in the conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with unique advantages such as uniform distribution over the whole body and decreased exposure to cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. For individuals who lack matched sibling or matched unrelated donors, the use of haploidentical donors has been increasing despite challenges such as graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Although a limited number of studies have been performed to assess the clinical role of TBI in haploidentical HSCT, TBI-based conditioning showed comparable results in terms of survival outcomes, rate of relapse, and GVHD in diverse hematologic malignancies such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Advances in supportive care, along with recent technical improvements such as restriction of maximum tolerated dose, appropriate fractionation, and organ shielding, help to overcome diverse adverse events related to TBI. Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide was used in most studies to reduce the risk of GVHD. Additionally, it was found that post-transplantation rituximab may improve outcomes in TBI-based haploidentical HSCT, especially in patients with B-cell lymphoma. Along with the advances of techniques and strategies, the expansion of age restriction would be another important issue for TBI-based haploidentical HSCT considering the current tendency toward increasing age limitation and lack of matched donors. This review article summarizes the current use and future perspectives of TBI in haploidentical HSCT.

Abstract
Total body irradiation (TBI), used as part of the conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation, is the delivery of a relatively homogeneous dose of radiation to the entire body. TBI has a dual role, being cytotoxic and immunosuppressive. This allows it to eliminate disease and create “space” in the marrow while also impairing the immune system from rejecting the foreign donor cells being transplanted. Advantages that TBI may have over chemotherapy alone are that it may achieve greater tumour cytotoxicity and better tissue penetration than chemotherapy as its delivery is independent of vascular supply and physiologic barriers such as renal and hepatic function. Therefore, the so-called “sanctuary” sites such as the central nervous system (CNS), testes, and orbits or other sites with limited blood supply are not off-limits to radiation. Nevertheless, TBI is hampered by challenging logistics of administration, coordination between hematology and radiation oncology departments, increased rates of acute treatment-related morbidity and mortality along with late toxicity to other tissues. Newer technologies and a better understanding of the biology and physics of TBI has allowed the field to develop novel delivery systems which may help to deliver radiation more safely while maintaining its efficacy. However, continued research and collaboration are needed to determine the best approaches for the use of TBI in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE Clodronate-liposomes (Clod-Lip) is an effective candidate drug for treating chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura in mice experiments. But its role in hematopoietic recovery after acute myelosuppression is still unknown. We aim to explore the function and underlining mechanisms of Clod-Lip on hematopoietic reconstitution after sublethal dose irradiation in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice at 8-10 weeks received a total-body sublethal dose γ-irradiation (TBI) and injected with Clod-Lip or PBS-Liposomes (PBS-Lip) every 4 days after TBI. The survival rate of each group was recorded. Flow cytometry was used to analyze changes in hematopoietic stem cells and their progenies in bone marrow. ELISA and RT-qPCR were used for the analysis of hematopoietic regulatory factors. Regarding IL-1β inhibition, 25 mg/kg diacerein or an equal volume of DMSO was intraperitoneally injected into mice every day after TBI. RESULTS In sublethal dose-irradiated mice, Clod-Lip reduced the survival rate, the total number of bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cells, delayed peripheral blood recovery of red blood cells and platelets. However, it could increase the number of CMP, MEP and myeloid cells, which suggested that Clod-Lip could induce HSC to myeloid differentiation in vivo. We further verified that Clod-Lip may induce myeloid differentiation by bone marrow microenvironmental factor IL-1β. CONCLUSIONS In summary, this study suggested that Clod-Lip may aggravate inhibitor effect of hematopoietic function and promote myeloid differentiation in myelosuppression mice model.

Abstract
The optimal myeloablative conditioning (MAC) for patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) is unknown. We studied the outcomes of total body irradiation (TBI)-based versus chemotherapy (CT)-based MAC regimens in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The study included 427 patients who underwent first haplo-HCT with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), following TBI-based (n = 188; 44%) or CT-based (n = 239; 56%) MAC. The median patient age was 32 years. Fludarabine-TBI (72%) and thiotepa-busulfan-fludarabine (65%) were the most frequently used TBI- and CT-based regimens, respectively. In the TBI and CT cohorts, 2-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) was 45% versus 37% (P = .05), overall survival (OS) was 51% versus 47% (P = .18), relapse incidence (RI) was 34% versus 32% (P = .44), and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was 21% versus 31% (P < .01). In the multivariate analysis, TBI was associated with lower NRM (hazard ratio [HR], 0.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33 to 0.86; P = .01), better LFS (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.98; P =.04), and increased risk for grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (HR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.08 to 2.34; P = .02) compared with CT-based MAC. The type of conditioning regimen did not impact RI, chronic GVHD, OS, or GVHD-free, relapse-free survival after adjusting for transplantation-related variables. TBI-based MAC was associated with lower NRM and better LFS compared with CT-based MAC in patients with ALL after haplo-HCT/PTCy.

Abstract
Mutations in the gene encoding DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) comprise the majority of mutations found in clonal hematopoiesis (CH), an age-related condition that was recently found to affect outcomes in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Recent studies have indicated that patients with CH have worse prognoses after HSCT, suggesting stress imposed by HSCT preconditioning agents may impact hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) dynamics in transplant recipients. In this study, we used a competitive transplantation mouse model to investigate how treatment with the common preconditioning agents 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and busulfan (BU) affect the prevalence of Dnmt3a-/- HSCs and progenitor cells in competition with wild-type cells. We found that, though sufficient to deplete peripheral blood counts, 5-FU preconditioning did not significantly alter the frequency of Dnmt3a-null hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in mosaic mice. In contrast, mice treated with BU had a sevenfold decline in total bone marrow cells and an increase in Dnmt3a-null HSPCs that was detectable in peripheral blood. Indeed, even though all mosaic mice had a starting engraftment of ∼10%-40%, 85%-100% of HSPCs were Dnmt3a-null in four of seven mice after BU treatment, indicating these cells expand dramatically during recovery. Overall, these results suggest that individual preconditioning regimens have different effects on the expansion of Dnmt3a-mutant cells in patients with pre-existing CH. Thus, the presence of CH-associated mutants should be evaluated prior to selecting preconditioning regimens for HSCT.

Abstract
The number of individuals undergoing unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) has increased in recent years; however, information on prognostic factors is limited. We retrospectively analyzed data from 475 children and adolescents receiving UCBT with myeloablative conditioning for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in complete remission (CR), based on a nationwide registry. In the total patient cohort, 5-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS) rates after UCBT were 61.1% and 67.7%, respectively. UCBT at first CR and UCBT after 2007 were associated with good survival, while grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was associated with low relapse rate but did not affect survival. Analysis according to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) disparity revealed that tacrolimus-based GVHD prophylaxis resulted in higher OS and lower relapse rate and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) than cyclosporine-based GVHD prophylaxis in patients transplanted with 6/6 and ≤4/6 HLA-matched umbilical cord blood. Furthermore, grade II-IV acute GVHD was associated with good LFS and low relapse rate, without high NRM, in patients receiving 5/6 HLA-matched UCBT. These data indicate that prognostic factors for ALL differ depending on HLA disparity in UCBT.

Abstract
Total body irradiation (TBI)/cyclophosphamide (CY) is a standard-of-care conditioning regimen in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This study sought to identify whether the addition of thiotepa (TT) to TBI/CY improves HSCT outcomes for pediatric patients with ALL. A retrospective analysis was performed on 347 pediatric ALL patients who underwent HSCT between 1995 and 2015, with 242 receiving TBI/CY/TT and 105 patients receiving TBI/CY. There were no statistical differences in age, donor source, or complete remission status between the 2 groups. Comparison of the TBI/CY/TT versus TBI/CY groups demonstrated no difference in transplant-related mortality at 1 (11% versus 11%), 5 (13% versus 16%), or 10 years (16% versus 16%). There was lower relapse in the TBI/CY/TT group at 1 (14% versus 26%), 5 (24% versus 36%), 10 (26% versus 37%), and 15 years (26% versus 37%) (P= .02) but was not statistically significant on multivariate analysis. The TBI/CY/TT group showed a trend toward improved disease-free survival (DFS) at 5 (59% versus 47%), 10 (56% versus 46%), and 15 years (49% versus 40%) (P = .05) but was not statistically significant on multivariate analysis. Comparing overall survival at 5 (62% versus 53%), 10 (57% versus 50%), and 15 years (50% versus 44%) demonstrated no statistical difference between the 2 groups. The addition of thiotepa to TBI/CY demonstrated no increase in transplant-related mortality for pediatric ALL HSCT but was unable to demonstrate significant benefit in disease control. Minimal residual disease status remained the key risk factor impacting both relapse and DFS. More studies are warranted to better clarify the benefits of using thiotepa in conditioning for ALL HSCT.

Abstract
This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the outcomes of adult patients with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with either total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI)-containing or non-TMLI conditioning regimen. Seventy adult patients with high-risk ALL who received allo-HSCT were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups based on the conditioning regimen type (TMLI group: n = 29 and non-TMLI group: n = 41). We noted significant statistical differences in the 1-year estimated cumulative incidence of relapse (25% vs. 46.5%, p = 0.018), the 1-year estimated overall survival (73.1% vs. 52.6%, p = 0.033) and disease-free survival (65.2% vs. 48.2%, p = 0.026) but found no considerable difference in transplant-related mortality (12% vs. 13.4%, p = 0.619) between patients in the TMLI and non-TMLI groups. The TMLI-containing regimen is safe and alternative for patients with high-risk ALL undergoing allo-HSCT.

Irradiation free conditioning regimen is associated with high relapse rate in Egyptian patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. J Egypt Natl Canc Inst 2020; 32:28.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is a curative treatment for adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Cyclophosphamide plus total body irradiation (TBI/Cy) or plus busulfan (Bu/Cy) is a widely used pre-transplant conditioning regimen for ALL. We retrospectively compared the overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and other transplant outcomes of allo-HSCT in 119 adult patients with ALL who received an HLA-matched sibling allo-HSCT using TBI-based versus non-TBI-based conditioning regimens. Patients were divided into two groups by their conditioning regimen: TBI/Cy or Bu/Cy.
Results
Median OS was 11 months in the TBI/Cy group and 6.2 months in the Bu/Cy group. Median DFS was 11.1 months in the TBI group versus 6.8 months in the Bu group, without a statistically significant difference. A higher risk of relapse was observed with the Bu/Cy regimen (HR 2.709, CI 95% 1.106 to 6.638, p = 0.029). Patients who received a transplant in ≥ CR2 were associated with poor DFS.
Conclusion
Despite the high relapse rate in the non-TBI regimen (Bu/Cy), both regimens had no statistically significant differences in OS, DFS, and NRM. Additional prospective studies are indeed warranted to evaluate the long-term outcomes of radiation-free regimens, including oral and intravenous busulfan, and compare these regimens with TBI-based ones.

Abstract
PURPOSE Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with optimal conditioning has helped better long-term survival in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This study investigated the efficacy and safety of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) with busulfan and fludarabine in adult ALL patients unfit for myeloablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records of 78 patients who underwent HSCT with RIC consisting of 3.2 mg/kg/day of busulfan for 2 or 3 days and 30 mg/m²/day of fludarabine for 5 or 6 days were analyzed. RESULTS The median age at diagnosis was 49 years. Over a median follow-up of 22 months, 2-year estimates of relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival were 57.4% and 68.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed a trend of improved RFS in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (hazard ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.26-1.08; p=0.080). The cumulative incidences of relapse and non-relapse mortality were 42.9% and 19.6%, respectively and one case of central nervous system relapse was noted. No hepatic veno-occlusive disease was reported. Grade II-IV acute GVHD and any grade chronic GVHD occurred in 21.1% and 41.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION RIC with busulfan and fludarabine is an effective and safe conditioning regimen for adult ALL patients unfit for myeloablation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total body irradiation (TBI)-based conditioning is the standard of care in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that requires allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, TBI is known to be associated with an increased risk of late effects, and therefore, non-TBI regimens have also been utilized successfully. A recent study showed that patients that were next-generation sequencing-minimal residual disease (NGS-MRD) negative prior to allogeneic HSCT had a very low risk of relapse, and perhaps could avoid exposure to TBI without compromising disease control. We examined outcomes at our institution in patients that received a TBI or non-TBI regimen, as well as explored the impact of NGS-MRD status in predicting risk of relapse post transplant. PROCEDURES This retrospective analysis included 57 children and young adults with ALL that received their first myeloablative allogeneic HSCT from 2012 to 2017 at the University of California San Francisco. Our primary endpoint was the cumulative incidence of relapse at 3 years post transplant. RESULTS We demonstrated similar cumulative incidence of relapse for patients treated with either a TBI or non-TBI conditioning regimen, while NGS-MRD positivity prior to transplant was highly predictive of relapse. The presence of acute graft-versus-host disease was associated with decreased relapse rates, particularly among patients that received a TBI conditioning regimen and patients that were NGS-MRD positive prior to HSCT. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that the decision to use either a TBI or non-TBI regimens in ALL should depend on NGS-MRD status, with conditioning regimens based on TBI reserved for patients that cannot achieve NGS-MRD negativity prior to allogeneic HSCT.

Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation with sequential conditioning in adult patients with refractory or relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a report from the EBMT Acute Leukemia Working Party. Bone Marrow Transplant 2019; 55:595-602. [PMID: 31562398 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-019-0702-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2019] [Revised: 07/23/2019] [Accepted: 08/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Treatment of relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (RR-ALL) remains a clinical challenge with generally dismal prognosis. Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation using sequential conditioning ("FLAMSA"-like) has shown promising results in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia, but little is known about its efficacy in RR-ALL. We identified 115 patients (19-66 years) with relapsed (74%) or primary-refractory (26%) ALL allografted from matched related (31%), matched unrelated (58%), or haploidentical donor (11%). Median follow-up was 37 (13-111) months. At day 100, cumulative incidences of grade II-IV/III-IV acute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) were 30% and 17%, respectively. Two-year cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 25% with 11% extensive cases. Two-year relapse incidence (RI) was 45%, non-relapse mortality was 41%. Two-year leukemia free survival (LFS) was 14%, overall survival (OS) 17%, and GVHD relapse-free survival (GRFS) was 14%. In multivariable analysis, Karnofsky score <90 negatively affected RI, LFS, OS, and GRFS. Conditioning with chemotherapy alone, compared with total body irradiation (TBI) negatively affected RI (HR = 3.3; p = 0.008), LFS (HR = 1.94; p = 0.03), and OS (HR = 2.0; p = 0.03). These patients still face extremely poor outcomes, highlighting the importance of incorporating novel therapies (e.g., BITE antibodies, inotuzumab, CAR-T cells). Nevertheless, patients with RR-T-cell ALL remain with an unmet treatment need, for which TBI-based sequential conditioning could be one of few available options.

Abstract
The role of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is reviewed and critically evaluated in this systematic evidence-based review. Specific criteria were used for searching the published literature and for grading the quality and strength of the evidence and the strength of the recommendations. A panel of ALL experts developed consensus on the treatment recommendations based on the evidence. Allogeneic HCT offers a survival benefit in selected patients with ALL, and this review summarizes the standard indications as well as the areas of controversy. There is now greater experience with pediatric-inspired chemotherapy regimens that has transformed upfront therapy for adult ALL, resulting in higher remission rates and overall survival. This in turn has increased the equipoise around decision making for ALL in first complete remission (CR1) when there is no measurable residual disease (MRD) at the end of induction and/or consolidation. Randomized studies are needed for adults with ALL to compare allogeneic HCT in CR1 with pediatric-inspired chemotherapy alone. Indications for transplantation in the evolving landscape of MRD assessments and novel targeted and immune therapeutics remain important areas of investigation.
