Abstract
This study investigates the interaction between endothelial activation, indirectly measured using EASIX, and the probability of presenting cardiac adverse events (CAE) during the first year after allo-HCT. The 437 consecutive adults undergoing PB allo-HCT from 2012 and 2021 were included. EASIX was retrospectively calculated before and during the first 6 months after allo-HCT and transformed to log2-base to conduct the statistical analysis. The median age was 53, 46 (10.5%) patients had previous history of cardiac disease, MAC allo-HCTs were performed in 186 (42.6%) patients, and PTCY was administered in 242 (55.5%). The 1-year incidence of CAE was 12.6% (n = 55). The most prevalent cardiac events were heart failure and arrhythmias, 32.7% and 23.6% respectively, and the day +100 mortality rate of these patients was 40.5%. During the first 6 months after allo-HCT, EASIX trends were significantly higher in patients who developed CAE. Regression analyses confirmed that higher log2-EASIX values were predictors for higher risk for CAE during the first year after allo-HCT. This analysis identifies a significant association between higher endothelial activation, indirectly measured using EASIX, and higher risk for cardiac toxicity diagnosed during the first year after allo-HCT and extends the applicability of EASIX for identifying patients at risk for CAE.

Abstract
Plasma biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction have been postulated for the diagnosis and prognosis of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). However, their use is not validated in clinical practice yet. The endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX), a simple score based on routine laboratory parameters, is considered to be an indirect marker of endothelial damage. High value of EASIX was correlated with worse non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS) and a high risk of sinusoidal obstructive syndrome and transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA). This study investigates the predictive value of plasma biomarkers and the EASIX score for the prediction of aGVHD. We assessed vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), and VWF:Ag plasma levels and the EASIX score before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21 in an experimental cohort (n = 33). EASIX was transformed to a base-2 logarithm to perform the analysis. For the most relevant biomarkers, we estimate the optimal cutoff values and the discriminatory ability to differentiate patients with high-risk of aGVHD. The conclusions obtained in the experimental cohort were validated in a large cohort of 321 patients at the same institution. Plasma biomarkers and EASIX showed similar post-transplantation dynamics consisting of a progressive increase. Multivariate analysis showed an association between high TNFR1 levels and Log-2 EASIX score on day 7 after transplantation with an increased likelihood of developing aGVHD (hazard ratio [HR] = 1, P = .002; HR = 2.31, P = .013, respectively). Patients with TNFR1 ≥1300 ng/mL (HR = 7.19, P = .006) and Log2-EASIX ≥3 (HR = 14.7, P <.001) at day 7 after transplantation were more likely to develop aGVHD with high predictive accuracy (C-index of 74% and 81%, respectively). In the validation cohort, patients with Log2-EASIX ≥3 on day 7 after transplantation presented a significantly higher incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD (HR = 1.94, P = .004) independent of GVHD prophylaxis (HR = 0.38, P = .004), conditioning regimen (HR = 0.59, P =.02) and type of donor (HR = 2.38, P = .014). Differential degree of endothelial damage can be measured using both EASIX score and plasma biomarkers in the early post-transplantation period. Patients at risk of developing aGVHD could be easily identified by a high EASIX score. Both indicators of endothelial activation represent a promising approach to predict aGVHD.

Abstract
This study compared the efficacy of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and tacrolimus (Tac) versus other regimens in 272 adults undergoing peripheral blood (PB) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) from HLA-matched donors. Of these 272 patients, 95 (34.9%) received PTCy/Tac. The times to neutrophil and platelet engraftment were longer in the PTCy/Tac group (20 days versus 16 days for neutrophils and 19 days versus 12 days for platelets). The day +30 cumulative incidence (CuI) of bacterial bloodstream infection was higher in the PTCy/Tac group (43.2% versus 13.0%; P < .001). The CuIs of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) at day +180 were 14.7% and 4.2%, and the CuI of moderate/severe cGVHD at 2 years was 2.4% in the PTCy/Tac group and 41.8% (hazard ratio [HR], .29; P < .001), 15.8%, (HR, .24; P = .007), and 47.0% (HR, .05; P < .001), respectively, in the no-PTCy group. The duration of immunosuppression was shorter in patients receiving PTCy/Tac (6.2 months versus 9.0 months; P < .001). PTCy/Tac patients had higher OS (2 years: 74.3% versus 60.9%; HR, .54; P = .012), lower NRM (2 years: 8.6% versus 15.8%; HR, .54; P = .11), comparable CuI of relapse (2 years: 26.0% versus 24.4%; HR, 1.03; P = .89), and higher GRFS (2 years: 59.1% versus 16.7%; HR, .32; P < .001). Using PTCy/Tac in HLA-matched PB allo-HCT improved transplantation outcomes at out institution compared with previous prophylactic regimens, including a higher probability of survival despite more delayed engraftment and a higher rate of bacterial infection.

Abstract
Letermovir for CMV prevention in CMV-seropositive adults undergoing allo-HCT was implemented at our program in 2021. This study investigates the results from the use of letermovir. The study includes all the 140 CMV-seropositive patients who underwent an allo-HCT during the years 2020, 2021, and 2022 at our institution. Thirty-eight (27.4%) of these patients received letermovir, administered from day + 7 to day + 100 and restarted if patients were on treatment with steroids. The day + 180 and 1-year cumulative incidences of CMV reactivation were 5.3% and 12.1% for patients who received letermovir and 52.9% and 53.9% for those who did not (P < 0.001) (HR 0.19, P < 0.001). Four (10.5%) of these thirty-eight patients had a CMV reactivation, but only 2 (5.3%) cases occurred during the administration of letermovir. During the first year after allo-HCT, 13 (9.2%) patients had CMV disease; the day + 180 and 1-year cumulative incidences were 2.6% and 6.0% for patients who received letermovir and 9.9% and 12.3% for those who did not (P = 0.254) (HR 1.01, P = 0.458). Two (4.2%) of the patients included in the letermovir group had CMV disease, but both of them after letermovir discontinuation. Letermovir induced a protective effect on CMV reactivation risk, but its use was not associated with a significant reduction of CMV disease. The fact that the CMV disease in patients who received letermovir occurred after the discontinuation of the drug, questions whether CMV prophylaxis should be used in patients with high risk for CMV reactivation or disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY)-based prophylaxis is becoming widespread for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) performed independently of the selected donor source. In parallel, use of the Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX)-considered a surrogate parameter of endothelial activation-for predicting patient outcomes and clinical complications is gaining popularity in the allo-HCT setting. METHODS We first investigated whether the dynamics of EASIX after allo-HCT differ between patients receiving PTCY and patients receiving other prophylaxis. We then investigated whether the predictive capacity of EASIX persists in PTCY-based allo-HCT. A total of 328 patients transplanted between 2014 and 2020 were included, and 201 (61.2%) received PTCY. RESULTS EASIX trends differed significantly between the groups. Compared with patients receiving other prophylaxis, patients receiving PTCY had lower EASIX on day 0 and higher values between day 7 and day 100. In patients receiving PTCY, higher EASIX correlated significantly with higher non-relapse mortality (NRM) and lower overall survival (OS) when measured before and during the first 180 days after allo-HCT. In addition, higher EASIX scores measured at specific time points were predictors of veno-occlusive disease (VOD), transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) and grade 2-4 acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) risk. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates how EASIX trends vary during the first 180 days after allo-HCT in patients receiving PTCY and those not receiving PTCY and validates the utility of this index for predicting NRM, OS and risk of VOD, TA-TMA and grade 2-4 aGVHD in patients receiving PTCY.

Abstract
We investigated the predictive capacity of six prognostic indices [Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), Hematopoietic Cell Transplant-Specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI), Disease Risk Index (DRI), European Bone Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) and Revised Pre-Transplantation Assessment of Mortality (rPAM) Scores and Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX)] in 205 adults undergoing post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based allo-HCT. KPS, HCT-CI, DRI and EASIX grouped patients into higher and lower risk strata. KPS and EASIX maintained appropriate discrimination for OS prediction across the first 2 years after allo-HCT [receiver operating characteristic curve (area under the curve (AUC) > 55 %)]. The discriminative capacity of DRI and HCT-CI increased during the post-transplant period, with a peak of prediction at 2 years (AUC of 61.1 % and 61.8 %). The maximum rPAM discriminative capacity was at 1 year (1-year AUC of 58.2 %). The predictive capacity of the EBMT score was not demonstrated. This study validates the discrimination capacity for OS prediction of KPS, HCT-CI, DRI and EASIX in PTCy-based allo-HCT.

Abstract
This study investigates the incidence and predictors for bacterial bloodstream infection (BSI) in 330 adults undergoing allo-HCT, and explores the effect of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCY) on the probability of presenting this complication. All patients received levofloxacin during the aplastic phase. Only the first episode of BSI was counted as an event. Patients were classified into 2 groups: PTCY-based (n = 200) versus other prophylaxis (n = 130). One hundred twenty-four patients were diagnosed with a first episode of BSI, most of them during the first 30 days (70.2%). Proportions of BSIs caused by Gram-positive bacteria were comparable to those caused by Gram-negative bacteria (48.3% versus 45.9%). The cumulative incidence of BSI was higher in patients receiving PTCY than in those receiving other prophylaxis (days 30 and 100: 35.0% and 37.0% versus 13.1% and 18.5%, P < .001). At day 30, the likelihood of BSI was 2.41 (P = .012) times higher in the PTCY group than in the non-PTCY group. The 30-day mortality rate in all patients with BSI was 8.0%, lower (P = .002) in the PTCY group (2.3%) than in the non-PTCY group (21.6%). Finally, the overall survival of patients receiving PTCY and diagnosed with BSI was similar to that of patients without presenting this complication. © 2023 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

Abstract
In 2015, we implemented an at-home allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) program. Between 2015 and 2018, 252 patients underwent allo-HCT; 41 patients underwent allo-HCT in the at-home program (46% myeloablative; 63% unrelated donor; 32% posttransplant cyclophosphamide), and these patients were compared with 39 in-patients; safety, capacity to release beds for other programs, and economic efficiency cost were evaluated. We observed a lower incidence of febrile neutropenia in the at-home group compared with that in the in-patient group (32% versus 90%; p < 0.0001), whereas the incidence of aspergillosis was similar among groups (at-home 1% versus in-patient 3%; p = 0.5). The at-home patients showed a lower incidence of 1-year severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD; 10% versus 29%; p = 0.03). There were no differences in 1-year transplant-related mortality, relapse, or overall survival among groups. The re-admission rate in the at-home group was 7%. The at-home setting was less expensive (9087 €/transplant), and its implementation increased capacity by 10.5 allo-HCTs/year. Moreover, a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell program could be established without increasing beds. Thus, our at-home allo-HCT program may be a safe modality to reduce febrile neutropenia and acute GVHD, resulting in lower re-admission rates.
