Abstract
INTRODUCTION A higher CD34+ cell dose in allografts is associated with faster haematopoietic recovery after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Leukaemia stem cells impair normal bone marrow (BM) niches and induce BM failure during leukemogenesis. However, whether measurable residual disease (MRD), known as the persistence of low-level leukaemic cells, could influence the effects of CD34+ cell dose on haematopoietic recovery after transplantation in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) patients is unknown. METHODS A total of 975 ALL patients were enrolled and classified into pre-HSCT MRD-positive and MRD-negative subgroups. Cox proportional hazard regression models were built for time-to-event outcomes. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine independent influencing factors from the univariate analysis. RESULTS An appropriate CD34+ cell dose was positively associated with faster haematopoietic recovery in the total ALL population. More importantly, in pre-HSCT MRD-positive ALL patients, a higher CD34+ cell dose (≥2.76 × 106 /kg) was related to faster neutrophil (HR 1.330, 95% CI 1.045-1.692, p = 0.021) and platelet engraftment (HR 1.808, 95% CI 1.412-2.316, p < 0.001) in multivariate analysis. CD34+ cell dose was a crucial factor associated with either engraftment or transplant outcomes, although we did not demonstrate direct correlations of CD34+ cell dose with relapse, TRM, LFS or OS after allo-HSCT. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that no additional CD34+ stem and progenitor cell harvests were needed to ensure successful haematopoietic recovery in pre-HSCT MRD-positive patients compared to pre-HSCT MRD-negative patients.

Day -1 CD34+ Cells and Platelet Count Predict the Number of Apheresis in Poor-Mobilizer Patients Rescued by Plerixafor. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12020618. [PMID: 36675546 PMCID: PMC9866585 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12020618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 01/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Plerixafor is widely used as up-front treatment with G-CSF to enhance peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell output in patients failing previous mobilizations. Less frequently, plerixafor is used to rescue an unsatisfactory mobilization following chemotherapy (CT) and G-CSF. This study investigates if pre-collection factors affect the CD34+ cell harvest in chemotherapy and G-CSF mobilizations rescued by plerixafor. Clinical and hematological data relative to patients, mobilization, and apheresis products were retrospectively examined. The outcome was completing a target cell dose ≥ 2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg at first apheresis. The effect exerted on the outcome by patient- and disease-related factors was investigated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The analysis included data from 42 patients affected by hematological (39 patients) and non-hematological malignancies (three patients). Twenty-nine patients (69%) attained the target cell dose at first apheresis. Twelve out of the remaining 13 patients received an additional plerixafor administration, and all accomplished the transplant dose at a second apheresis procedure. Day -1 CD34+ PB count (OR1.46, 95% CI 1.1-1.9, p = 0.008) and platelet count (OR1.0, 95% CI 1.0-1.0, p = 0.033) predicted the achievement of the target dose at first apheresis, independently of pre-mobilization CT, radiation therapy, and disease status at mobilization. At ROC curve analysis, the best cut-off value predicting the successful collection at first apheresis was 7.5/µL for Day -1 CD34+ cell count (AUC 0.830, 0.69 sensitivity, and 0.92 specificity) and 75 × 109/L for Day -1 platelet count (AUC = 0.736, 0.65 sensitivity and 0.85 specificity). In conclusion, on-demand plerixafor rescue allows a successful stem cell collection, irrespectively of disease type and status, prior CT lines, and radiation exposure. Pre-apheresis CD34+ cells and platelet count predict the need for one or two aphereses.

Abstract
ObjectiveWe aimed to establish a model that can predict refractory/recurrent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after haploidentical donor (HID) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).MethodsConsecutive acute leukemia patients receiving HID HSCT were enrolled (n = 289). We randomly selected 60% of the entire population (n = 170) as the training cohort, and the remaining 40% comprised the validation cohort (n = 119). Patients were treated according to the protocol registered at https://clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03756675).ResultsThe model was as follows: Y = 0.0322 × (age) – 0.0696 × (gender) + 0.5492 × (underlying disease) + 0.0963 × (the cumulative dose of prednisone during pre-engraftment phase) – 0.0771 × (CD34+ cell counts in graft) – 1.2926. The threshold of probability was 0.5243, which helped to separate patients into high- and low-risk groups. In the low- and high-risk groups, the 100-day cumulative incidence of refractory/recurrent CMV was 42.0% [95% confidence interval (CI), 34.7%–49.4%] vs. 63.7% (95% CI, 54.8%–72.6%) (P < 0.001) for total patients and was 50.5% (95% confidence interval (CI), 40.9%–60.1%) vs. 71.0% (95% CI, 59.5%–82.4%) (P = 0.024) for those with acute graft-versus-host disease. It could also predict posttransplant mortality and survival.ConclusionWe established a comprehensive model that could predict the refractory/recurrent CMV infection after HID HSCT.Clinical Trial Registrationhttps://clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT03756675.

Validation plan of bone marrow collection, processing and distribution using the failure mode and effect analysis methodology: a technical report. Cytotherapy 2021; 24:356-364. [PMID: 34865960 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcyt.2021.10.005] [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: 08/10/2021] [Revised: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Bone marrow (BM) is commonly used in the pediatric and adult setting as a source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The standards of the Joint Accreditation Committee of the International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy & European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (JACIE) include specific requirements regarding BM collection, processing and distribution. To run this process, each transplant team develops a series of JACIE-compliant procedures, customizing them with regard to local settings and paths. Moreover, JACIE standards require that transplant teams validate and periodically revise their procedures to keep the entire process under control. In this article, the authors describe the methodology adopted in our center to fulfill the aforementioned JACIE requirements. METHODS The authors developed a validation plan based on the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) methodology. According to the FMEA approach, the authors carefully revised activities and procedures connected to BM collection, processing and distribution at our institution. The entire process was initially divided into five main phases (assessment of donor eligibility, perioperative autologous blood donation, preparation of BM collection kit, BM harvesting and BM processing and distribution), comprising 17 subphases and 22 activities. RESULTS For each activity, one or more failure modes were identified, for a total of 28 failure modes, and a risk priority number (RPN) was then assigned to each failure mode. Although many procedures were validated, others were subjected to substantial changes according to the RPN rating. Moreover, specific indicators were identified for subsequent monitoring to contain the risk of failure of steps emerging as critical at FMEA. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study describing use of the FMEA methodology within an HSC transplant program. Shaping the risk analysis based on local experience may be a trustworthy tool for identifying critical issues, directing strict monitoring of critical steps or even amending connected procedures. Overall, the FMEA approach enabled the authors to improve our process, checking its consistency over time.

ABO Mismatch in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant: Effect on Short- and Long-term Outcomes. Transplant Direct 2021; 7:e724. [PMID: 34263022 PMCID: PMC8274735 DOI: 10.1097/txd.0000000000001179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Revised: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background. The impact of ABO incompatibility (ABO-I) on hematopoietic stem cell transplant outcomes is still debated. Methods. We retrospectively investigated 432 consecutive transplants performed at our center (2012–2020). All patients but 6 were affected by hematologic malignancies. The effect of different ABO match combinations on engraftment rate, transfusion support, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease incidences, nonrelapse mortality (NRM), disease-free survival, and overall survival was assessed in univariate and multivariate analysis. Significance was set at P < 0.05. Results. ABO match distribution among transplants was as follows: 223 ABO-compatible, 94 major ABO-I, 82 minor ABO-I, and 33 bidirectional ABO-I. At univariate analysis, major ABO-I delayed the engraftment of neutrophils, platelets, and erythroid cells. At multivariate analysis, major ABO-I transplants displayed delayed erythroid engraftment (odds ratio [OR], 0.51; 95% confidence intervals [CIs], 0.38-0.70; P < 0.0001) and hindered transfusion independence for both red blood cells (OR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.37-0.72; P = 0.0001) and platelets (0.60; 95% CI, 0.45-0.86; P = 0.0048). Moreover, major ABO-I transplants received greater amounts of blood products (P < 0.0001 for red blood cells and P = 0.0447 for platelets). In comparison with other ABO matches, major ABO-I was associated with an increased NRM (OR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.01-2.75; P = 0.0427). No effects of ABO-mismatch were found on graft-versus-host disease, disease-free survival, and overall survival. Conclusions. Major ABO mismatch delays multilineage engraftment hinders transfusion independence and increases NRM. The prognostic impact of transfusion burden in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation deserves to be explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has deeply modified the complex logistical process underlying allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant practices. AIM In light of these changes, the authors compared data relative to allogeneic transplants carried out from 2018 at their center before (n = 167) and during the pandemic (n = 45). METHODS The authors examined patient characteristics, donor and graft types, cell doses and main transplant outcomes. Moreover, the authors evaluated the rise of costs attributable to additional COVID-19-related procedures as well as the risk of adverse events these procedures conveyed to grafts or recipients. RESULTS Overall, the number of transplants did not decrease during the pandemic, whereas patients at high relapse risk were prioritized. Transplants were mainly from matched unrelated donors, with a significant decrease in haploidentical related donors. Moreover, the use of bone marrow as a graft for haploidentical transplant was almost abandoned. Cryopreservation was introduced for all related and unrelated apheresis products, with a median storage time of 20 days. Notably, transplant outcomes (engraftment, acute graft-versus-host disease and non-relapse mortality) with cryopreserved products were comparable to those with fresh products. CONCLUSIONS Considering that the emergency situation may persist for months, cryopreserving allogeneic grafts can offer a lifesaving opportunity for patients whose allogeneic transplant cannot be postponed until after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
As HLA haploidentical related donors are quickly available, HLA
haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haploHSCT) using high-dose
post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is now widely used. Recent basic and
clinical studies revealed the details of immune reconstitution after T-cell replete
haploHSCT using PTCy. T cells and NK cells in the graft proliferate abundantly at day 3
post-haploHSCT, and the PTCy eliminates these proliferating cells. After ablation of
proliferating mature cells, donor-derived NK cell reconstitution occurs after the second
week; however, recovering NK cells remain functionally impaired for at least several
months after haploHSCT. PTCy depletes proliferating cells, resulting in the preferential
accumulation of Treg and CD4+ T cells, especially the memory stem T cell
(TSCM) phenotype. TSCM capable of both
self-renewal and differentiation into effector T cells may play an important role in the
first month of immune reconstitution. Subsequently, de novo T cells
progressively recover but their levels remain well below those of donor CD4+ T cells at
the first year after haploHSCT. The phenotype of recovering T cells after HSCT is
predominantly effector memory, whereas B cells are predominantly phenotypically naive
throughout the first year after haploHSCT. B cell recovery depends on de
novo generation and they are not detected until week 4 after haploHSCT. At week
5, recovering B cells mostly exhibit an unconventional transitional cell phenotype and the
cell subset undergoes maturation. Recent advances in immune reconstitution have improved
our understanding of the relationship between haploHSCT with PTCy and the clinical
outcome.

Abstract
Background: Preconditioning intensity, donor choice and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for advanced myelofibrosis (MF) have not been fully elucidated. Methods: Thirty-five patients with advanced MF were treated with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allo-HCT. We searched for matched sibling donors first, followed by matched or mismatched unrelated donors and familial mismatched donors. Preconditioning regimen consisted of fludarabine (total 150 mg/m2) and busulfan (total 6.4 mg/kg) with total body irradiation ⩽400cGy. Results: All showed engraftments, but four showed either leukemic relapse or delayed graft failure. Two-year overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 60.0% and 29.9%, respectively. Acute GVHD was observed in 19 patients, and grade III–IV acute GVHD (eight grade III and four grade IV) was higher in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched donor HCT compared with HLA-matched HCT (70% versus 20%). Chronic GVHD was observed in 16 patients, and a cumulative incidence of severe chronic GVHD was 33% in HLA-mismatched donor HCT and 7.7% in HLA-matched HCT. Significant hepatic GVHD was observed in nine patients (five acute, four chronic) and six of them died. Multivariate analysis revealed inferior OS in HLA-mismatched donor HCT (hazard ratio (HR) = 6.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.6–25.7, p = 0.009) and in patients with high ferritin level at the time of pre-conditioning period (HR = 7.22, 95% CI 1.9–27.5, p = 0.004), which were related to higher incidence of hepatic GVHD with high NRM rate. Conclusion: RIC allo-HCT can be a valid choice providing graft-versus-fibrosis effect for advanced MF patients. However, HLA-mismatched donor and high pre-HCT ferritin level related to fatal hepatic GVHD should be regarded as poor-risk parameters.

Abstract
Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening disease that can be cured with allogeneic cell transplantation (HCT). Haploidentical donor transplantation with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (haplo-PTCy) is an option for patients lacking an HLA-matched donor. We analyzed 87 patients who underwent haplo-PTCy between 2010 and 2019. The median patient age was 14 years (range, 1 to 69 years), most were heavily transfused, and all received previous immunosuppression (25% without antithymocyte globulin). Almost two-thirds (63%) received standard fludarabine (Flu)/cyclophosphamide (Cy) 29/total body irradiation (TBI) 200 cGy conditioning, and the remaining patients received an augmented conditioning: Flu/Cy29/TBI 300-400 (16%), Flu/Cy50/TBI 200 (10%), or Flu/Cy50/TBI 400 (10%). All patients received PTCy-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Most grafts (93%) were bone marrow (BM). The median duration of follow-up was 2 years and 2 months. The median time to neutrophil recovery was 17 days. Primary graft failure occurred in 15% of the patients, and secondary or poor graft function occurred in 5%. The incidences of grade II-IV acute GVHD was 14%, and that of chronic GVHD was 9%. Two-year overall survival and event-free survival (EFS) were 79% and 70%, respectively. EFS was higher for patients who received augmented Flu/Cy/TBI (hazard ratio [HR], .28; P = .02), and those who received higher BM CD34 cell doses (>3.2 × 10E6/kg) (HR, .29; P = .004). The presence of donor-specific antibodies before HSCT was associated with lower EFS (HR, 3.92; P = .01). Graft failure (HR, 7.20; P < .0001) was associated with an elevated risk of death. Cytomegalovirus reactivation was frequent (62%). Haploidentical HCT for SAA is a feasible procedure; outcomes are improved with augmented conditioning regimens and BM grafts with higher CD34 cell doses.
