Abstract
We investigated whether secondary versus de novo acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) would be associated with poor outcomes in adult acute AML patients in first complete remission (CR1) receiving unrelated cord blood transplantation (CBT). This is a retrospective study from the acute leukaemia working party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Inclusion criteria included adult at first allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation between 2000 and 2021, unrelated single or double unit CBT, AML in CR1, no ex vivo T-cell depletion and no post-transplant cyclophosphamide. The primary end-point of the study was leukaemia-free survival (LFS). A total of 879 patients with de novo (n = 696) or secondary (n = 183) AML met the inclusion criteria. In multivariable analyses, sAML patients had non-significantly different LFS (HR = 0.98, p = 0.86), overall survival (HR = 1.07, p = 0.58), relapse incidence (HR = 0.74, p = 0.09) and non-relapse mortality (HR = 1.26, p = 0.13) than those with de novo AML. Our results demonstrate non-significantly different LFS following CBT in adult patients with secondary versus de novo AML.

Abstract
There is limited evidence regarding the association between graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and reduced relapse in patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from haploidentical donors (haplo-HSCT) using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY). We investigated the association between GVHD and transplant outcomes in 938 patients who received haplo-HSCT using PTCY. Overall survival (OS), relapse rate, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were evaluated using landmark analysis at the landmark points at 100 and 360 days after HSCT for acute and chronic GVHD, respectively. Grade I-II acute GVHD was not associated with OS (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.15, 95% confidence interval: 0.85-1.57), relapse (1.03, 0.74-1.45) and NRM (1.15, 0.74-1.77). Conversely, grade III-IV acute GVHD was associated with higher NRM (3.16, 1.61-6.19), but no other outcomes. Limited chronic GVHD was not associated with OS (1.11, 0.48-1.95), relapse (1.05, 0.30-3.75) and NRM (1.30, 0.45-3.79). Extensive chronic GVHD was associated with higher NRM (2.40, 1.03-5.57), but no other outcome. In conclusion, any GVHD was not associated with a reduced relapse rate and improved OS, and Grade III-IV acute GVHD and extensive chronic GVHD were associated with higher NRM in patients who received haplo-HSCT using PTCY.

Abstract
Management approaches for accelerated and blast phase myeloproliferative neoplasms remain challenging for clinicians and patients alike. Despite many therapeutic advances, outcomes for those patients who are not allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplant eligible remain, in general, very poor. Estimated survival rates for such blast phase patients is frequently reported as less than 6 months. No specific immunological, genomic or clinicopathological signature currently exists that accurately predicts the risk and timing of transformation, which frequently induces a high degree of anxiety among patients and clinicians alike. Within this review article, we provide an up-to-date summary of current understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of accelerated and blast phase disease and discuss current therapeutic approaches and realistic outcomes. Finally, we discuss how the horizon may look with the introduction of more novel agents into the clinical arena.

Modeling the interaction between donor-derived regulatory T cells and effector T cells early after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Biosystems 2023; 227-228:104889. [PMID: 37019377 DOI: 10.1016/j.biosystems.2023.104889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023]
Abstract
While allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a potential curative therapy against hematological malignancies, modulation of donor T cell alloreactivity is required to enhance the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect and control graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) after allo-HSCT. Donor-derived regulatory CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells (Tregs) play a central role in establishing of immune tolerance after allo-HSCT. They could be a key target to be modulated for increasing the GVL effect and control of GVHD. We constructed an ordinary differential equation model incorporating bidirectional interactions between Tregs and effector CD4+ T cells (Teffs) as a mechanism for control of Treg cell concentration. The goal is to elucidate how the interaction between Tregs and Teffs is modulated in order to get insights into fine tuning of alloreactivity after allo-HSCT. The model was calibrated with respect to published Treg and Teff recovery data after allo-HSCT. The calibrated model exhibits perfect or near-perfect adaptation to stepwise perturbations between Treg and Teff interactions, as seen in Treg cell populations when patients with relapsed malignancy were treated with anti-CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4). In addition, the model predicts observed shifts of Tregs and Teffs concentrations after co-stimulatory receptor IL-2R or TNFR2 blockade with allo-HSCT. The present results suggest simultaneous blockades of co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory receptors as a potential treatment for enhancing the GVL effect after allo-HSCT without developing GVHD.

Effect of graft-versus-host disease on posttransplant outcomes following single cord blood transplantation in comparison to haploidentical transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide for adult acute myeloid leukemia. Transplant Cell Ther 2023:S2666-6367(23)01135-1. [PMID: 36889507 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2023.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The possibility that human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatches could reduce relapse after alternative HLA-mismatched allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an attractive concept for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, it remains unclear whether the prognostic effect of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) on survival differs between single-unit cord blood transplantation (CBT) or haploidentical HCT using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy-haplo HCT) for AML. OBJECTIVE The objective of this retrospective study was to compare the effect of acute and chronic GVHD on posttransplant outcomes between CBT and PTCy-haplo HCT. STUDY DESIGN We retrospectively evaluated the effect of acute and chronic GVHD on posttransplant outcomes following CBT and PTCy-haplo HCT in adults with AML (n=1,981) between 2014 and 2020 using a Japanese registry database. RESULTS In the univariate analysis, the probability of overall survival was significantly greater in patients who developed grade I-II acute GVHD (P<0.001 by log-rank test) and limited chronic GVHD (P<0.001 by log-rank test) among CBT recipients, but these effects were not significant among PTCy-haplo HCT recipients. In the multivariate analysis, in which the development of GVHD was treated as a time-dependent covariate, the effect of grade I-II acute GVHD on reducing overall mortality was significant between CBT and PTCy-haplo HCT (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] for CBT: 0.73, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.60-0.87; adjusted HR for PTCy-haplo HCT: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.70-1.64; p for interaction=0.038). CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that grade I-II acute GVHD was associated with a significant improvement in overall mortality in adults with AML receiving CBT but not PTCy-haplo HCT.

Abstract
Long-term outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (tMNs) are dismal. There are few multicenter studies defining prognostic factors in pediatric patients with tMNs. We have accumulated the largest cohort of pediatric patients who have undergone HCT for a tMN to perform a multivariate analysis defining factors predictive of long-term survival. Sixty-eight percent of the 401 patients underwent HCT using a myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen, but there were no statistically significant differences in the overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), or cumulative incidence of relapse and non-relapse mortality based on the conditioning intensity. Among the recipients of MAC regimens, 38.4% of deaths were from treatment-related causes, especially acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) and end-organ failure, as compared to only 20.9% of deaths in the reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) cohort. Exposure to total body irradiation (TBI) during conditioning and experiencing grade III/IV acute GVHD was associated with worse OS. In addition, a diagnosis of therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome and having a structurally complex karyotype at tMN diagnosis were associated with worse EFS. Reduced-toxicity (but not reduced-intensity) regimens might help to decrease relapse while limiting mortality associated with TBI-based HCT conditioning in pediatric patients with tMNs.

Itacitinib prevents xenogeneic GVHD in humanized mice. Bone Marrow Transplant 2021; 56:2672-2681.

Abstract
We assessed the impact of the Janus Kinase (JAK) 1 inhibitor itacitinib on xenogeneic graft-versus-host disease (xGVHD). XGVHD was induced by i.v. injection 20 × 106 human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMC) in NSG mice on day 0. Itacitinib (3 mg, ≈120 mg/kg) or methylcellulose was administered by force-feeding twice a day from day 3 to day 28. Mice were followed for xGVHD score and survival. In addition, human T-cell engraftment and as well as human T-cell subtypes were monitored in blood on days 14, 21, and 28 after transplantation. We observed that itacitinib-treated mice had significantly longer survival than control mice (median 45 versus 33 days; P < 0.001). Further, they also had lower absolute numbers of human CD4+ T cells on days 21 and 28 after transplantation as well as of human CD8+ T cells on days 14, 21, and 28 after transplantation. In addition, itacitinib-treated mice had higher frequencies of human regulatory T cells (Treg) on days 21 and 28 after transplantation. In summary, our data indicate that itacitinib decreases human T-cell engraftment, increases Treg frequencies and attenuates xGVHD in NSG mice transplanted with hPBMC.

Abstract
PURPOSE The anti-leukemic activity of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) depends on both the intensity of conditioning regimen and the strength of the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. However, it is unclear whether the sensitivity of the GVL effects differs between donor type and graft source. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We retrospectively evaluated the effect of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) on transplant outcomes for adults with acute leukemia (n = 6,548) between 2007 and 2017 using a Japanese database. In all analyses, we separately evaluated three distinct cohorts based on donor type [(8/8 allele-matched sibling donor, 8/8 allele-matched unrelated donor, and unrelated single-cord blood (UCB)]. RESULTS The multivariate analysis, in which the development of GVHD was treated as a time-dependent covariate, showed a reductive effect of grade I-II acute GVHD on treatment failure (defined as 1-leukemia-free survival; P < 0.001), overall mortality (OM; P < 0.001), relapse (P < 0.001), and non-relapse mortality (NRM; P < 0.001) in patients receiving from UCB. A reductive effect of limited chronic GVHD on treatment failure (P < 0.001), OM (P < 0.001), and NRM (P < 0.001) was also shown in patients receiving from UCB. However, these effects were not always shown in patients receiving from other donors. The beneficial effects of mild acute and chronic GVHD after UCB transplantation on treatment failure were noted relatively in subgroups of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and a non-remission status. CONCLUSIONS These data suggested that the development of mild GVHD could improve survival after UCB transplantation for acute leukemia.

Survival Improvement over Time of 960 s-AML Patients Included in 13 EORTC-GIMEMA-HOVON Trials. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12113334. [PMID: 33187229 PMCID: PMC7697114 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12113334] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/08/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Secondary acute myeloid leukemia (s-AML) refers to the development of AML following myelodysplatic syndrome or other hematological malignancies, or after a solid tumors, or nonmalignant diseases or following exposure to environmental or occupational carcinogens. Here, we report data from 960 s-AML patients who were treated in 13 EORTC collaborative trials conducted between May 1986 and January 2008. The main aims of our study were (1) to assess whether overall survival of s-AML patients improved over time, (2) to identify initial disease features associated with overall survival. We observed that overall survival of younger patients improved over the years, in parallel with introduction of high-dose cytarabine in induction remission chemotherapy. This suggests that this strategy should be further investigated in younger patients with s-AML. Furthermore, this study confirmed that the sAML patients having adverse cytogenetic risk features and those with high white blood cells at diagnosis had a dismal survival, regardless of their age group. Abstract We report the outcomes of secondary acute myeloid leukemia (s-AML) patients included in one of 13 European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) collaborative AML trials using intensive remission-induction chemotherapy. Among 8858 patients treated between May 1986 and January 2008, 960 were identified as having s-AML, either after MDS (cohort A; n = 508), occurring after primary solid tumors or hematologic malignancies other than MDS (cohort B; n = 361), or after non-malignant conditions or with a history of toxic exposure (cohort C; n = 91). Median age was 64 years, 60 years and 61 years in cohort A, B and C, respectively. Among patients ≤60 years and classified in the cohorts A or B (n = 367), the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 28%. There was a systematic improvement in the 5-year OS rate over three time periods (p < 0.001): 7.7% (95% CI: 1.3–21.7%) for patients treated before 1990 (period 1: n = 26), 23.3% (95% CI: 17.1–30.0%) for those treated between 1990 and 2000 (period 2: n = 188) and 36.5% (95% CI: 28.7–44.3%) for those treated in 2000 or later (period 3: n = 153). In multivariate analysis, male gender (HR = 1.39; p = 0.01), WBC ≥ 25 × 109/L (HR = 2.00; p < 0.0001), age 46-60 years (HR = 1.65; p < 0.001) and poor-risk cytogenetics (HR = 2.17; p < 0.0001) were independently associated with shorter OS, while being treated during period 2 (HR = 0.50, p = 0.003) or period 3 (HR = 0.43; p = 0.0008). Having received high-dose cytarabine (HD-AraC) (n = 48) in the induction chemotherapy (HR = 0.54, p = 0.012) was associated with a longer OS. In contrast, among patients >60 years of age (n = 502), the OS was dismal, and there was no improvement over time.

Abstract
Steroid-refractory graft versus host disease (GVHD) represents a fearsome complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We conducted a retrospective study on outcomes and risk factors associated with acute and chronic steroid-refractory GVHD in a large cohort of 1207 patients receiving HSCT in Saint Louis Hospital between 2007 and 2017. Among patients who developed an acute and/or a chronic GVHD, the cumulative incidences of acute and chronic steroid-refractory disease were 31% and 48%, respectively, at day +100 and 1-year post-HSCT. Through a multivariable analysis we selected several risk factors associated with the development of a steroid-refractory disease. For acute GVHD steroid refractoriness, we identified (1) a very high disease risk index, (2) an unrelated donor, (3) the absence of in vivo T-depletion as GVHD prophylaxis, and (4) a reduced intensity conditioning regimen. For chronic GVHD, (1) the use of peripheral blood stem cells, (2) unrelated donors, and (3) absence of in vivo T-depletion were more likely associated with a steroid-refractory disease. After the construction of a multistate dynamic model, we found that the probability of being alive without relapse after the resolution of all GVHD episodes was about 36% in the long term.
