Abstract
Immunosuppressive treatment (IST) and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) are standard therapies for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). We report on conditional survival and standardized mortality ratios (SMR), which compare the mortality risk with the general population adjusted for age, gender, and race/ethnicity, in patients with SAA alive for at least 12 months after treatment with IST or HCT between 2000 and 2018. Given changes to treatment regimens and differences in length of follow-up, two treatment periods were defined a priori: 2000-2010 and 2011-2018. The SMR of patients treated during the period 2000-2010 and who survived one year were 3.50 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.62-4.58), 4.12 (95% CI: 3.20-5.21), and 8.62 (95% CI: 6.88-10.67) after IST, matched related donor HCT, and alternative donor HCT, respectively. For the period 2011-2018, the corresponding SMR were 2.89 (95% CI: 1.54-4.94), 3.12 (95% CI: 1.90-4.82), and 4.75 (95% CI: 3.45-6.38), respectively. For IST patients, their mortality risk decreased over time, and became comparable to the general population by five years. For patients who underwent HCT during 2000-2010 and 2011-2018, their mortality risk became comparable to the general population after ten years and after five years, respectively. Thus, 1-year survivors after IST or HCT can expect their longevity beyond five years to be comparable to that of the general US population.

Abstract
Observational studies and clinical trials in hematology aim to examine treatments for blood disorders. The outcomes being studied must address the goals of the study and provide meaningful information about treatment course, disease progression, describe patients' survival experience and quality of life. Endpoints are the specific measures of these outcomes, and much consideration should be given to their selection. In this review, we describe the outcomes and endpoints frequently used in studying hematologic diseases and provide general guidelines for their statistical analysis. The main focus is on clinical outcomes which are commonly used in establishing treatment safety and efficacy. We also briefly discuss the role surrogate and composite endpoints play in hematology studies. The importance of patient reported outcomes to comprehensive assessment of the treatment effectiveness is highlighted. Provided practical considerations for choosing primary and secondary endpoints may be helpful in designing hematology clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND BMT CTN 1101 was a Phase III randomized controlled trial comparing reduced intensity conditioning followed by double unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) versus HLA-haploidentical related donor bone marrow (haplo-BM) transplantation for patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to report the results of a parallel cost-effectiveness analysis. STUDY DESIGN Three hundred sixty-eight patients were randomized to unrelated UCB (n=186) or haplo-BM (n=182) transplant. We estimated healthcare utilization and costs using propensity score-matched BMT patients from the OptumLabsⓇ Data Warehouse for trial participants <65 years and Medicare claims for participants ≥65 years. Weibull models were used to estimate 20-year survival. EQ-5D surveys by trial participants were used estimate Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs). RESULTS At 5-year follow-up, survival was 42% for haplo-BM versus 36% for UCB (P=.06). Over a 20-year time horizon, haplo-BM is expected to be more effective (+0.63 QALY) and more costly +$118,953) for persons under 65. For those over 65, haplo-BM is expected to be more effective and less costly. In one-way uncertainty analyses, for persons <65, the cost per QALY result was most sensitive to life years and health state utilities. For persons ≥65, life years were more influential than costs and health state utilities. CONCLUSION Compared to UCB, haplo-BM was moderately cost-effective for patients aged <65 years, and less costly and more effective for persons ≥65 years. Haplo-BM is a fair value choice for commercially insured patients with high-risk leukemia and lymphoma who require HCT. For Medicare enrollees, haplo-BM is a preferred choice when considering costs and outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the incidence and risk factors for secondary neoplasm after transplantation for sickle cell disease. METHODS Included are 1,096 transplants for sickle cell disease between 1991 and 2016. There were 22 secondary neoplasms. Types included leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; n = 15) and solid tumor (n = 7). Fine-Gray regression models examined for risk factors for leukemia/MDS and any secondary neoplasm. RESULTS The 10-year incidence of leukemia/MDS was 1.7% (95% CI, 0.90 to 2.9) and of any secondary neoplasm was 2.4% (95% CI, 1.4 to 3.8). After adjusting for other risk factors, risks for leukemia/MDS (hazard ratio, 22.69; 95% CI, 4.34 to 118.66; P = .0002) or any secondary neoplasm (hazard ratio, 7.78; 95% CI, 2.20 to 27.53; P = .0015) were higher with low-intensity (nonmyeloablative) regimens compared with more intense regimens. All low-intensity regimens included total-body irradiation (TBI 300 or 400 cGy with alemtuzumab, TBI 300 or 400 cGy with cyclophosphamide, TBI 200, 300, or 400 cGy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, or TBI 200 cGy with fludarabine). None of the patients receiving myeloablative and only 23% of those receiving reduced-intensity regimens received TBI. CONCLUSION Low-intensity regimens rely on tolerance induction and establishment of mixed-donor chimerism. Persistence of host cells exposed to low-dose radiation triggering myeloid malignancy is one plausible etiology. Pre-existing myeloid mutations and prior inflammation may also contribute but could not be studied using our data source. Choosing conditioning regimens likely to result in full-donor chimerism may in part mitigate the higher risk for leukemia/MDS.

Abstract
Overall survival following reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using alemtuzumab, fludarabine, and melphalan is favorable in patients transplanted for inborn errors of immunity (IEI), but RIC is associated with high rates of mixed chimerism (MC) and secondary graft failure (GF). We hypothesized that peri-transplant alemtuzumab levels or specific patterns of inflammation would predict these risks. We assessed samples from BMT CTN 1204 (NCT01998633) to study the impact of alemtuzumab levels and cytokine patterns on MC and impending or established secondary GF (defined as donor chimerism <5% after initial engraftment and/or requirement of cellular intervention). Thirty-three patients with HLH (n=25) and other IEI (n=8) who underwent HCT with T-cell replete grafts were included. Patients with day 0 alemtuzumab levels ≤0.32μg/mL had a markedly lower incidence of MC, 14.3%, versus 90.9% in patients >0.32μg/mL (p=0.008). Impending or established secondary GF was only observed in patients with day 0 alemtuzumab levels >0.32µg/mL (p=0.08). Unexpectedly, patients with impending or established secondary GF had lower CXCL9 levels. The cumulative incidence of impending or established secondary GF in patients with a day +14 CXCL9 level ≤2394pg/mL (day +14 median) was 73.6% versus 0% in patients >2394pg/mL (p=0.002). CXCL9 levels inversely correlated with alemtuzumab levels. These findings support a relationship between alemtuzumab levels, CXCL9 levels, and sustained engraftment. These data suggest a model in which higher levels of alemtuzumab at day 0 deplete donor T-cells, inhibit the graft-versus-marrow reaction (thereby suppressing CXCL9 levels), and adversely impact sustained engraftment in the non-myeloablative HCT setting. Clinical Trial # NCT01998633.

Abstract
We previously conducted a single-arm feasibility study (STRIDE1) of myeloablative bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in adolescents and young adults with sickle cell disease (SCD). The trial identified donors before entry, enrolled well, and found no unexpected regimen-related toxicity. Although many single-arm studies have been published, there are no controlled trials of either BMT or gene therapy in SCD. Therefore, we designed a comparative trial by biological assignment (available donor versus no donor). This multicenter National Institutes of Health-funded study (Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network 1503; STRIDE2) enrolled patients between 2016 and 2021 at 35 sites. Lagging recruitment led to study closure, and here we report the impediments to accrual. The BMT regimen and entry criteria were from STRIDE1, and 2-year survival was the primary endpoint. To minimize selection bias from prior HLA typing, STRIDE2 excluded individuals with previously identified donors. Accrual was stopped at 69% of target (138 enrolled; assigned 28 with donor, 96 with no donor). Barriers to enrollment included lower than expected frequency of HLA-matched related and unrelated donors; loss of enrollees owing to previously identified donors; conventional care arm dissuading some seeking BMT; challenging short-term endpoints in SCD, including incomplete documentation of sickle pain episodes; state Medicaid (primary insurers of SCD) denial of BMT coverage for adult SCD despite the study having secured Coverage with Evidence Development from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services; slowed accrual in 2019 to 2021 during the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic; and restriction of BMT resourcing for nonmalignant diseases by academic medical (cancer) centers. Social obstacles and access to BMT centers also limited entry, as did practitioner and participant concerns over suitability, cost, and toxicity. Planning for future controlled trials of curative therapy in SCD and other nonmalignant diseases likely will meet these enrollment challenges. Lessons from this trial may aid the development of future comparative studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched donors could enable more patients with ethnically diverse backgrounds to receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in the United States. However, real-world trends and outcomes following mismatched donor HCT for diverse patients remain largely undefined. OBJECTIVE To determine whether mismatched donor platforms have increased access to allogeneic HCT for ethnically diverse patients, particularly through the application of novel graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis regimens, and if outcomes for diverse patients were comparable to those of non-Hispanic White patients. DESIGN Observational cross-sectional study using real-world data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) registry. All patients receiving their first allogeneic HCT in the U.S. from 2009-2020 with focus on transplants performed in 2020 were included. Data from patients receiving allogeneic HCT using bone marrow, peripheral blood or cord blood from HLA-matched or mismatched related and unrelated donors was analyzed. Specifically, relative proportions of allogeneic HCT were generated as percent of total for donor type and for patient age, disease indication, GvHD prophylaxis, and race and ethnicity. Causes of death were summarized using frequencies, and the Kaplan-Meier estimator was used for estimating overall survival. RESULTS Compared to matched related donor and matched unrelated donor HCT, more ethnically diverse patients received mismatched unrelated donor, haploidentical donor, and cord blood HCT. Matched unrelated donor remains the most common donor type, but use of haploidentical donors has increased significantly over the last 5 years. Paralleling the increase in haploidentical HCT is the increased use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) as GvHD prophylaxis. Relative to older transplant eras, the most contemporary transplant era associates with the highest survival rates following allogeneic HCT irrespective of patient race and ethnicity. However, disease relapse remains the primary cause of death for both adult and pediatric allogeneic HCT recipients by donor type and across all patient race and ethnicity groups. CONCLUSIONS Ethnically diverse patients are undergoing allogeneic HCTs at higher rates largely through the use of alternative donor platforms incorporating PTCy. Maintaining access to potential life-saving allogeneic HCT using alternative donors and novel GvHD prophylaxis strategies and improving HCT outcomes, particularly disease relapse, are urgent clinical needs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Consolidation with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has improved survival for patients with central nervous system tumors (CNSTs). The impact of the autologous graft CD34+ dose on patient outcomes is unknown. OBJECTIVES To analyze the relationship between CD34+ dose, total nucleated cell (TNC) dose, and clinical outcomes, including overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), relapse, non-relapse mortality (NRM), endothelial-injury complications (EIC), and time to neutrophil engraftment in children undergoing autologous HSCT for CNSTs. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis of the CIBMTR database was performed. Children aged <10 years who underwent autologous HSCT between 2008-2018 for an indication of CNST were included. An optimal cut point was identified for patient age, CD34+ cell dose, and TNC, using the maximum likelihood method and PFS as an endpoint. Univariable analysis for PFS, OS, and relapse was described using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Cox models were fitted for PFS and OS outcomes. Cause-specific hazards models were fitted for relapse and NRM. RESULTS One hundred fifteen patients met the inclusion criteria. A statistically significant association was identified between autograft CD34+ content and clinical outcomes. Children receiving >3.6×106/kg CD34+ cells experienced superior PFS (p=0.04) and OS (p=0.04) compared to children receiving ≤3.6×106/kg. Relapse rates were lower in patients receiving >3.6×106/kg CD34+ cells (p=0.05). Higher CD34+ doses were not associated with increased NRM (p=0.59). Stratification of CD34+ dose by quartile did not reveal any statistically significant differences between quartiles for 3-year PFS (p=0.66), OS (p=0.29), risk of relapse (p=0.57), or EIC (p=0.87). There were no significant differences in patient outcomes based on TNC, and those receiving a TNC >4.4×108/kg did not experience superior PFS (p=0.26), superior OS (p=0.14), reduced risk of relapse (p=0.37), or reduced NRM (p=0.25). Children with medulloblastoma had superior PFS (p<0.001), OS (p=0.01), and relapse rates (p=0.001) compared to those with other CNS tumor types. Median time to neutrophil engraftment was 10 days vs 12 days in the highest and lowest infused CD34+ quartiles, respectively. CONCLUSIONS For children undergoing autologous HSCT for CNSTs, increasing CD34+ cell dose was associated with significantly improved OS and PFS, and lower relapse rates, without increased NRM or EICs.

Abstract
Background Aplastic anaemia has diverse aetiologies. Distinguishing between these is, in part, testable by analyzing results of haematopoietic cells transplants between genetically-identical twins one of whom has aplastic anaemia. Objective Describe outcomes of genetically-identical twin transplants for aplastic anaemia with and without pretransplant conditioning. Methods We interrogated data from an observational database of 59 consecutive recipients of genetically-identical twin transplants for aplastic anaemia reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) 2000-2019. Results 38 subjects were male. Median age was 18 years (Interquartile Range [IQR], 11-32 years). Median interval from diagnosis to transplant was 2 months (IQR 1-3 months). 11 subjects received a 1st transplant without pretransplant conditioning. 2 of recovered normal bone marrow function. The other 9 received a 2nd transplant with pretransplant conditioning 7 of whom recovered. 48 subjects received pretransplant conditioning before a 1st or 2nd transplant all of whom recovered. Conclusion Only some genetically-identical twins with aplastic anaemia recover normal bone marrow function after a 1st haematopoietic cell transplant without pretransplant conditioning whereas most subjects recover when a transplant is preceded by pretransplant conditioning. These data are consistent with an immune-mediated aetiology of aplastic anaemia in most cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Relapsed severe aplastic anaemia is a marrow failure disorder with high morbidity and mortality. It is often treated with bone marrow transplantation at relapse post-immunosuppressive therapy, but under-represented minorities often cannot find a suitably matched donor. This study aimed to understand the 1-year overall survival in patients with relapsed or refractory severe aplastic anaemia after haploidentical bone marrow transplantation. METHODS We report the outcomes of BMT CTN 1502, a single-arm, phase 2 clinical trial done at academic bone marrow transplantation centres in the USA. Included patients were children and adults (75 years or younger) with severe aplastic anaemia that was refractory (fulfilment of severe aplastic anaemia disease criteria at least 3 months after initial immunosuppressive therapy) or relapsed (initial improvement of cytopenias after first-line immunosuppressive therapy but then a later return to fulfilment of severe aplastic anaemia disease criteria), adequate performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score 0 or 1, Karnofsky or Lansky score ≥60%), and the presence of an eligible related haploidentical donor. The regimen used reduced-intensity conditioning (rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin 4·5 mg/kg in total, cyclophosphamide 14·5 mg/kg daily for 2 days, fludarabine 30 mg/m2 daily for 5 days, total body irradiation 200 cGy in a single fraction), related HLA-haploidentical donors, and post-transplantation cyclophosphamide-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Additionally, for GVHD prophylaxis, mycophenolate mofetil was given orally at a dose of 15 mg/kg three times a day up to 1 g three times a day (maximum dose 3000 mg per day) from day 5 to day 35, and tacrolimus was given orally or intravenously from day 5 to day 180 as per institutional standards to maintain a serum concentration of 10-15 ng/mL. The primary endpoint was overall survival 1 year after bone marrow transplantation. All patients treated per protocol were analysed. This study is complete and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02918292. FINDINGS Between May 1, 2017, and Aug 30, 2020, 32 patients with relapsed or refractory severe aplastic anaemia were enrolled from 14 centres, and 31 underwent bone marrow transplantation. The median age was 24·9 years (IQR 10·4-51·3), and median follow-up was 24·3 months (IQR 12·1-29·2). Of the 31 patients who received a transplant, 19 (61%) were male and 12 (39%) female. 13 (42%) patients were site-reported as non-White, and 19 (61%) were from under-represented racial and ethnic groups; there were four (13%) patients who were Asian, seven (23%) Black, one (3%) Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and one (3%) more than one race, with seven (23%) patients reporting Hispanic ethnicity. 24 (77%) of 31 patients were alive with engraftment at 1 year, and one (3%) patient alive with autologous recovery. The 1-year overall survival was 81% (95% CI 62-91). The most common grade 3-5 adverse events (seen in seven or more patients) included seven (23%) patients with abnormal liver tests, 15 (48%) patients with cardiovascular changes (including sinus tachycardia, heart failure, pericarditis), ten (32%) patients with gastrointestinal issues, seven (23%) patients with nutritional disorders, and eight (26%) patients with respiratory disorders. Six (19%) deaths, due to disease and unsuccessful bone marrow transplantation, were reported after transplantation. INTERPRETATION Haploidentical bone marrow transplantation using this approach results in excellent overall survival with minimal GVHD in patients who have not responded to immunosuppressive therapy, and can expand access to bone marrow transplantation across all populations. In clinical practice, this could now be considered a standard approach for salvage treatment of severe aplastic anaemia. Attention to obtaining high cell doses (>2·5 × 108 nucleated marrow cells per kg of recipient ideal bodyweight) from bone marrow harvests is crucial to the success of this approach.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been successfully used to treat many malignant and nonmalignant conditions. As supportive care, donor selection, and treatment modalities evolve, documenting HCT trends and outcomes is critical. This report from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) provides an update on current transplantation activity and survival rates in the United States. Additional data on the use and outcomes of HCT in the adolescent and young adult (AYA) population are included. AYA patients more frequently receive peripheral blood stem cell grafts than pediatric patients, which may reflect differences in practice in pediatric versus adult treatment centers. The proportions of donor types also differ those in adult and pediatric populations. Outcomes for patients in the AYA age range are similar to those of pediatric patients for acute myelogenous leukemia but worse for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Outcomes for both leukemias are better in AYA patients compared with older adults. Comparing the time periods 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019 revealed significant improvement in overall survival across the age spectrum, but the greatest improvement in the AYA age group.

Abstract
We previously reported the results of Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN) 1101, a randomized comparison of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) performed with double umbilical cord blood units (dUCB) or with haploidentical bone marrow (haplo-BMT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in the nonmyeloablative setting. Those results showed similar progression-free survival in the 2 treatment groups but lower nonrelapse mortality and better overall survival in the haplo-BM arm. In this secondary analysis, we sought to investigate whether transplantation center's previous experience with haplo-BM and/or dUCB HCT had an impact on outcomes. All patients randomized in BMT CTN 1101 were included. Center experience was assigned based on the number of transplantations with each platform performed in the year before initiation of the study according to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. Centers were then classified as a dUCB center (>10 dUCB HCTs; n = 117 patients, 10 centers), a haplo-BM center (>10 haplo-BM HCTs and ≤10 dUCB HCTs; n = 110 patients, 2 centers), or other center (≤10 haplo and ≤10 dUCB HCTs; n = 140 patients, 21 centers). After adjusting for age, Karnofsky Performance Status, and Disease Risk Index, we found that haplo-BM centers had lower overall mortality with this donor type compared with dUCB centers (hazard ratio [HR], 2.56; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44 to 4.56). In contrast, there were no differences in overall mortality between haplo-BM and dUCB in centers that were experienced with dUCB HCT (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, .59 to 1.79) or had limited to no experience with either dUCB or haplo-BM HCT (HR, 1.36; 95% CI, .83 to 2.21). The higher risk of treatment failure and overall mortality in dUCB HCT in haplo BM-experienced centers was driven by a significantly higher risk of relapse (HR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.07 to 2.97). With the exception of worse outcomes among dUCB HCT recipients in haplo-BM centers, transplantation center experience in the year before initiation of BMT CTN 1101 had a limited impact on the outcomes of this randomized clinical trial.

Abstract
6591 Background: BMT CTN 1101 was a Phase III randomized controlled trial evaluating the comparative effectiveness of unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) versus HLA-haploidentical related donor bone marrow (haplo-BM) cell sources for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies (leukemias, lymphomas). We report results of an economic evaluation conducted as part of the clinical trial. Methods: 368 patients (90% of planned accrual) enrolled from 33 centers in the U.S. were randomly assigned to unrelated UCB (n=186) or haplo-BM (n=182) transplant. Healthcare utilization and costs were estimated using propensity-score matched cohorts of BMT patients in the OptumLabs Data Warehouse for trial participants <65 years, and Medicare claims for trial participants ≥65 years. Cost-effectiveness was calculated from payer perspectives (commercial, Medicare) over a 20-year time horizon from time of transplant. Weibull models (best fit based on AIC/BIC) were used to extrapolate survival from 5-year trial follow-up data. Trial participant surveys (EQ-5D) were used to derive health state utilities for estimating Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs). One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess uncertainty in results. Outcomes were discounted at 3% annually. Results: At 5-year follow-up, overall survival was 42% for haplo-BM versus 36% for UCB (P=.06). Over a 20-year time horizon, haplo-BM is expected to be more effective and more costly for <65 year-olds and in ≥65 year-olds it is expected to be more effective and less costly. In one-way uncertainty analyses, for persons <65, the cost/QALY result was most sensitive to life years and health state utilities. For persons ≥65, life years were more influential than costs and health state utilities. Using probabilistic sensitivity analysis, for persons <65 there was a 43% chance that haplo-BM was cost-effective using a willingness to pay threshold of $150k/QALY and 52% at a $200K/QALY threshold. Conclusions: Results from a large national clinical trial indicate that compared to UCB, haplo-BM was moderately cost-effective for patients aged <65 years, and less costly and more effective for persons ≥65 years. Haplo-BM is a fair value choice for commercially insured patients with high-risk leukemia and lymphoma who require HCT. For Medicare enrollees, haplo-BM is a preferred choice when considering costs and outcomes. [Table: see text]

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) disorders is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE The effect of conditioning regimen groups of varying intensity on outcomes after transplantation was examined to identify an optimal regimen or regimens for HLH disorders. METHODS We studied 261 patients with HLH disorders transplanted between 2005 and 2018. Risk factors for transplantation outcomes by conditioning regimen groups were studied by Cox regression models. RESULTS Four regimen groups were studied: (1) fludarabine (Flu) and melphalan (Mel) in 123 subjects; (2) Flu, Mel, and thiotepa (TT) in 28 subjects; (3) Flu and busulfan (Bu) in 14 subjects; and (4) Bu and cyclophosphamide (Cy) in 96 subjects. The day 100 incidence of veno-occlusive disease was lower with Flu/Mel (4%) and Flu/Mel/TT (0%) compared to Flu/Bu (14%) and Bu/Cy (22%) (P < .001). The 6-month incidence of viral infections was highest after Flu/Mel (72%) and Flu/Mel/TT (64%) compared to Flu/Bu (39%) and Bu/Cy (38%) (P < .001). Five-year event-free survival (alive and engrafted without additional cell product administration) was lower with Flu/Mel (44%) compared to Flu/Mel/TT (70%), Flu/Bu (79%), and Bu/Cy (61%) (P = .002). The corresponding 5-year overall survival values were 68%, 75%, 86%, and 64%, and did not differ by conditioning regimen (P = .19). Low event-free survival with Flu/Mel is attributed to high graft failure (42%) compared to Flu/Mel/TT (15%), Flu/Bu (7%), and Bu/Cy (18%) (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Given the high rate of graft failure with Flu/Mel and the high rate of veno-occlusive disease with Bu/Cy and Flu/Bu, Flu/Mel/TT may be preferred for HLH disorders. Prospective studies are warranted.

Abstract
Randomized clinical trials offer the highest-quality data for modifying clinical practice. Results of a phase III randomized trial of nonmyeloablative transplantation for adults with high-risk hematologic malignancies with 2 umbilical cord blood (UCB) units (n = 183) or HLA-haploidentical relative bone marrow (Haplo-BM; n = 154) revealed a 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) of 41% after Haplo-BM transplantation and 35% after 2-unit UCB transplantation (P = .41), with overall survival (OS) of 57% and 46%, respectively (P = .04). We sought to examine the generalizability of BMT CTN 1101 to a contemporaneous cohort beyond the trial's prespecified 2-year outcomes. All transplantations were performed between June 2012 and June 2018 in the United States. We hypothesized that the results of a rigorous phase III randomized trial would be generalizable. Changes in graft selection for HLA-haploidentical relative transplantation during the trial period allowed comparison of outcomes after transplantation with Haplo-BM with those after haploidentical peripheral blood (Haplo-PB). The trial's broad eligibility criteria were applied to the data source of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research to select nontrial subjects. Extended follow-up of trial subjects was obtained from this data source. Three separate analyses were performed: (1) trial subjects beyond the trial's 2-year endpoint; (2) comparison of trial subjects with a contemporaneous cohort of nontrial subjects (195 2-unit UCB, 358 Haplo-BM, and 403 Haplo-PB); and (3) comparison of nontrial subjects by donor and graft type. Multivariate analyses were performed using Cox proportional hazards models for comparison of outcomes by treatment groups. With longer follow-up of the trial cohorts, 5-year PFS (37% versus 29%; P = .08) and OS (42% versus 36%; P = .06) were not significantly different between the treatment groups. We then compared the trial results with outcomes of comparable real-world transplantations. Five-year OS did not differ between trial and nontrial 2-unit UCB transplantations (36% versus 41%; P = .48) or between trial and nontrial Haplo-BM transplantations (42% versus 47%; P = .80), confirming generalizability. The randomized trial did not accrue as planned and therefore lacked the statistical power to detect a 15% difference in PFS. With substantially larger numbers of nontrial Haplo-BM transplantations, 5-year survival was higher after nontrial Haplo-BM compared with trial 2-unit UCB (47% versus 36%; P = .012). Nontrial patients who underwent Haplo-PB transplantation had higher 5-year survival (54%) compared with trial Haplo-BM (hazard ratio [HR], 0.76; P = .044) and nontrial Haplo-BM (HR, 0.78; P = .026). Similarly, survival was better after Haplo-PB compared with trial UCB (HR, 0.57; P < .0001) and nontrial UCB (HR, 0.63; P = .0002). When considering alternative donor low-intensity conditioning regimen transplantation, a haploidentical relative is preferred, and PB is the preferred graft source.

Abstract
Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a rare, inherited bone marrow failure syndrome. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is considered a curative treatment option, but existing descriptions of patient and transplant characteristics and outcomes after related and unrelated donor HSCT are sparse. We describe outcomes after HSCT for congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT; n = 86) from 2000 to 2018. We conducted an analysis of data collected by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research on patients with CAMT receiving therapeutic allogeneic HSCT. The predominant donor type was HLA-matched or mismatched unrelated donors (n = 58, 67%). The remaining included HLA-matched sibling (n = 23, 27%) and HLA-mismatched relative (n = 5, 6%). The predominant graft types were bone marrow (n = 53, 62%) and cord blood (n = 25, 29%). The median age at transplantation was 3 years, with 82 of 86 patients being transplanted aged ≤10 years. The 5-year graft failure-free and overall survival were 83% (95% confidence interval [CI], 74-90) and 86% (95% CI, 78-93), respectively. An examination for risk factors confirmed mortality was higher after HLA-mismatched relative and mismatched unrelated donor HSCT compared to HLA-matched sibling and matched unrelated donor HSCT (hazard ratio 3.52, P = .04; 75% versus 93%). The 1-year incidence of graft failure was 19% after HLA-mismatched HSCT (n = 32) compared to 7% after HLA-matched HSCT (n = 54, P = .15). Day-100 grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease was 13%, 26%, and 30% after HLA-matched sibling, HLA-matched and mismatched unrelated donor HSCT. The 5-year incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease was 33% with 24 of 28 patients having received grafts from HLA-matched (n = 13) and mismatched unrelated (n = 11) donors. Although HLA-matched donors are preferred, HLA-mismatched donors also extend survival for CAMT.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation is an important treatment option for malignant and non-malignant hematologic diseases. Despite increasing the potential donor pool for hematopoietic cell transplantation there are many patients who are unable to access this treatment. There are several biologic and non-biologic factors that may explain lower utilization of transplantation. Biologic factors associated with lower utilization include older age, multiple comorbidities, persons of African American descent and high-risk disease that may not respond optimally to hematopoietic cell transplantation. Non-biologic factors associated with lower utilization include lower educational (without a high school diploma) or social status, uninsured, Medicaid or Medicare insurance and in persons aged ≥60 years, when the distance between their residence and hospital was greater than 37 miles. The decision to proceed to hematopoietic cell transplantation is a dialogue between the patient and the treating physician. While some patients may be considered poor candidates for continued treatment including hematopoietic cell transplantation others may be offered novel pharmacologic and cellular therapies with a capacity to deliver specific immunologic antitumor responses. Pharmacologic and cellular therapies are relatively recent, and it is not known whether the biologic and non-biologic factors that limit access to transplantation will limit access to these newer treatments.

Abstract
The in vivo depletion of recipient and donor T lymphocytes using antithymocyte globulin (ATG; Thymoglobulin) is widely adopted in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) to reduce the incidence of both graft failure and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, excess toxicity to donor lymphocytes may hamper immune reconstitution, compromising antitumor effects and increasing infection. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) administered early after HCT may increase ATG-mediated lymphotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of an interaction between ATG and post-transplantation granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on allogeneic HCT outcomes, using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) registry. We studied patients age ≥18 years with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who received Thymoglobulin-containing preparative regimens for HLA-matched sibling/unrelated or mismatched unrelated donor HCT between 2010 and 2018. The effect of planned G-CSF that was started between pretransplantation day 3 and post-transplantation day 12 was studied in comparison with transplantations that did not include G-CSF. Cox regression models were built to identify risk factors associated with outcomes at 1 year after transplantation. A total of 874 patients met the study eligibility criteria, of whom 459 (53%) received planned G-CSF. HCT with planned G-CSF was associated with a significantly increased risk for nonrelapse mortality (NRM) (hazard ratio [HR] 2.03; P <.0001; 21% versus 12%) compared to HCT without G-CSF. The 6-month incidence of viral infection was higher with G-CSF (56% versus 47%; P = .007), with a particular increase in Epstein-Barr virus infections (19% versus 11%; P = .002). The observed higher NRM with planned G-CSF led to lower overall survival (HR, 1.52; P = .0005; 61% versus 72%). There was no difference in GVHD risk between the treatment groups. We performed 2 subgroup analyses showing that our findings held true in patients age ≥50 years and in centers where G-CSF was used in some, but not all, patients. In allogeneic peripheral blood HCT performed with Thymoglobulin for AML and MDS, G-CSF administered early post-transplantation resulted in a 2-fold increase in NRM and a 10% absolute decrement in survival. The use of planned G-CSF in the early post-transplantation period should be carefully considered on an individual patient basis, weighing any perceived benefits against these risks.

Abstract
Posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis has enabled haploidentical (Haplo) transplantation to be performed with results similar to those after matched unrelated donor (MUD) transplantation with traditional prophylaxis. The relative value of transplantation with MUD vs Haplo donors when both groups receive PTCy/calcineurin inhibitor/mycophenolate GVHD prophylaxis is not known. We compared outcomes after 2036 Haplo and 284 MUD transplantations with PTCy GVHD prophylaxis for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in adults from 2011 through 2018. Cox regression models were built to compare outcomes between donor types. Recipients of myeloablative and reduced-intensity regimens were analyzed separately. Among recipients of reduced-intensity regimens, 2-year graft failure (3% vs 11%), acute grades 2 to 4 GVHD (hazards ratio [HR], 0.70; P = .022), acute grades 3 and 4 GVHD (HR, 0.41; P = .016), and nonrelapse mortality (HR, 0.43; P = .0008) were lower after MUD than with Haplo donor transplantation. Consequently, disease-free (HR, 0.74; P = .008; 55% vs 41%) and overall (HR, 0.65; P = .001; 67% vs 54%) survival were higher with MUD than with Haplo transplants. Among recipients of myeloablative regimens, day-100 platelet recovery (95% vs 88%) was higher and grades 3 and 4 acute (HR, 0.39; P = .07) and chronic GVHD (HR, 0.66; P = .05) were lower after MUD than with Haplo donor transplantation. There were no differences in graft failure, relapse, nonrelapse mortality, and disease-free and overall survival between donor types with myeloablative conditioning regimens. These data extend and confirm the importance of donor-recipient HLA matching for allogeneic transplantation. A MUD is the preferred donor, especially for transplantations with reduced-intensity conditioning regimens.

Abstract
To improve accrual to a randomized clinical trial of double unrelated cord blood (dUCB) versus HLA-haploidentical bone marrow (haplo-BM) transplantation, patients with less previous therapy and potentially greater immunocompetence were enrolled. To reduce the risk of graft rejection, patients randomized to receive dUCB received a higher dose of total body irradiation (TBI) (300 cGy versus 200 cGy). In this study, we investigated whether the inclusion of recipients of 300 cGy TBI influenced the trial outcomes. This was a secondary analysis of dUCB recipients, 161 who received TBI 200 cGy and 18 who received TBI 300 cGy. Fine and Gray regression was used to evaluate the effect of TBI dose on relapse and nonrelapse mortality (NRM). Cox regression was used for evaluation of neutrophil engraftment and overall survival. Patient characteristics were similar in the 2 TBI dose subgroups. The probability of neutrophil engraftment was 100% for patients who received TBI 300 cGy versus 91% (95% confidence interval, 86% to 95%) for those who received TBI 200 cGy (P = .64), which was similar after regression analysis adjusting for age, total infused nucleated cell dose, HLA matching to the patient, and comorbidity score. We also investigated whether the lower survival probability and higher cumulative incidence of NRM observed in the dUCB arm of BMT CTN 1101 could be influenced by the TBI 300 cGy patient subset. There was no significant difference in the 1-year incidences of NRM and relapse or in 1-year survival, even after adjustment in multivariate analysis. Patients in BMT CTN 1101 who received TBI 300 cGy and 200 cGy had similar engraftment and early mortality. We conclude that inclusion of a modified regimen for dUCB transplantation had no demonstrable influence on this large randomized trial.

Abstract
With limited data comparing hematopoietic cell transplant outcomes between myeloablative total body irradiation (TBI) containing and non-TBI regimens in children with de novo acute myeloid leukemia, the aim of this study was to compare transplant-outcomes between these regimens. Cox regression models were used to compare transplant-outcomes after TBI and non-TBI regimens in 624 children transplanted between 2008 and 2016. Thirty two percent (n=199) received TBI regimens whereas 68% (n=425) received non-TBI regimens. Five-year non-relapse mortality was higher with TBI regimens (22% vs. 11%, P<0.0001) but relapse was lower (23% vs. 37%, P<0.0001) compared to non-TBI regimens. Consequently, overall (62% vs. 60%, P=1.00) and leukemia-free survival (55% vs. 52%, P=0.42) did not differ between treatment groups. Grade 2-3 acute graft versus host disease was higher with TBI regimens (56% vs. 27%, P<0.0001) but not chronic graft versus host disease. The 3-year incidence of gonadal or growth hormone deficiency was higher with TBI regimens (24% vs. 8%, P<0.001) but there were no differences in late pulmonary, cardiac or renal impairment. In the absence of a survival advantage, the choice of TBI or non-TBI regimen merits careful consideration with the data favoring non-TBI regimens to limit the burden of morbidity associated with endocrine dysfunction.

Abstract
A disease risk index (DRI) that was developed for adults with hematologic malignancy who were undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation is also being used to stratify children and adolescents by disease risk. Therefore, to develop and validate a DRI that can be used to stratify those with AML and ALL by their disease risk, we analyzed 2569 patients aged <18 years with acute myeloid (AML; n = 1224) or lymphoblastic (ALL; n = 1345) leukemia who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation. Training and validation subsets for each disease were generated randomly with 1:1 assignment to the subsets, and separate prognostic models were derived for each disease. For AML, 4 risk groups were identified based on age, cytogenetic risk, and disease status, including minimal residual disease status at transplantation. The 5-year leukemia-free survival for low (0 points), intermediate (2, 3, 5), high (7, 8), and very high (>8) risk groups was 78%, 53%, 40%, and 25%, respectively (P < .0001). For ALL, 3 risk groups were identified based on age and disease status, including minimal residual disease status at transplantation. The 5-year leukemia-free survival for low (0 points), intermediate (2-4), and high (≥5) risk groups was 68%, 51%, and 33%, respectively (P < .0001). We confirmed that the risk groups could be applied to overall survival, with 5-year survival ranging from 80% to 33% and 73% to 42% for AML and ALL, respectively (P < .0001). This validated pediatric DRI, which includes age and residual disease status, can be used to facilitate prognostication and stratification of children with AML and ALL for allogeneic transplantation.

Abstract
Results of 2 parallel phase 2 trials of transplantation of unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) or bone marrow (BM) from HLA-haploidentical relatives provided equipoise for direct comparison of these donor sources. Between June 2012 and June 2018, 368 patients aged 18 to 70 years with chemotherapy-sensitive lymphoma or acute leukemia in remission were randomly assigned to undergo UCB (n = 186) or haploidentical (n = 182) transplant. Reduced-intensity conditioning comprised total-body irradiation with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine for both donor types. Graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis for UCB transplantation was cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and for haploidentical transplantation, posttransplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and MMF. The primary end point was 2-year progression-free survival (PFS). Treatment groups had similar age, sex, self-reported ethnic origin, performance status, disease, and disease status at randomization. Two-year PFS was 35% (95% confidence interval [CI], 28% to 42%) compared with 41% (95% CI, 34% to 48%) after UCB and haploidentical transplants, respectively (P = .41). Prespecified analysis of secondary end points recorded higher 2-year nonrelapse mortality after UCB, 18% (95% CI, 13% to 24%), compared with haploidentical transplantation, 11% (95% CI, 6% to 16%), P = .04. This led to lower 2-year overall survival (OS) after UCB compared with haploidentical transplantation, 46% (95% CI, 38-53) and 57% (95% CI 49% to 64%), respectively (P = .04). The trial did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in the primary end point, 2-year PFS, between the donor sources. Although both donor sources extend access to reduced-intensity transplantation, analyses of secondary end points, including OS, favor haploidentical BM donors. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01597778.

Abstract
PURPOSE Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a DNA repair disorder with a high predisposition to hematologic malignancies. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We describe the natural history of NBS, including cancer incidence, risk of death, and the potential effectiveness of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in preventing both pathologies: malignancy and immunodeficiency. RESULTS Among 241 patients with NBS enrolled in the study from 11 countries, 151 (63.0%) patients were diagnosed with cancer. Incidence rates for primary and secondary cancer, tumor characteristics, and risk factors affecting overall survival (OS) were estimated. The cumulative cancer incidence was 40.21% ± 3.5% and 77.78% ± 3.4% at 10 years and 20 years of follow-up, respectively. Most of the tumors n = 95 (62.9%) were non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Overall, 20 (13.2%) secondary malignancies occurred at a median age of 18 (interquartile range, 13.7-21.5) years. The probability of 20-year overall survival (OS) for the whole cohort was 44.6% ± 4.5%. Patients who developed cancer had a shorter 20-year OS than those without malignancy (29.6% vs. 86.2%; P < 10-5). A total of 49 patients with NBS underwent HSCT, including 14 patients transplanted before malignancy. Patients with NBS with diagnosed cancer who received HSCT had higher 20-year OS than those who did not (42.7% vs. 30.3%; P = 0.038, respectively). In the group of patients who underwent preemptive transplantation, only 1 patient developed cancer, which is 6.7 times lower as compared with nontransplanted patients [incidence rate ratio 0.149 (95% confidence interval, 0.138-0.162); P < 0.0001]. CONCLUSIONS There is a beneficial effect of HSCT on the long-term survival of patients with NBS transplanted in their first complete remission of cancer.

Abstract
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is administered after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to aid neutrophil recovery. We compared the effect of empiric G-CSF administration on the duration of index inpatient hospitalization stay after HCT for patients aged ≥18 years with a hematologic malignancy. G-CSF was considered empiric if administered between day -3 and day +6 in relation to graft infusion. We studied 3562 HCTs (1487 HLA-matched sibling donor HCTs and 2075 HLA-matched unrelated donor HCTs) between 2007 and 2016. Three hundred and thirteen (21%) recipients of HLA-matched sibling donor HCT and 417 (20%) recipients of HLA-matched unrelated donor HCT received empiric G-CSF therapy. The effect of G-CSF therapy on the index hospitalization stay was examined in generalized linear models (GLMs) with adjustment for other patient, disease, and transplantation characteristics and acute graft-versus-host disease and infection post-transplantation. The duration of index hospitalization by treatment group did not differ for HLA-matched sibling donor HCT but was shorter with G-CSF for HLA-matched unrelated donor HCT (15 days versus 19 days; P < .001). Our GLMs confirmed shorter hospitalization with the use of G-CSF therapy for HLA-matched unrelated donor HCT (P = .01). G-CSF therapy was not associated with early survival for either donor type, and there was no benefit or disadvantage of giving G-CSF to promote neutrophil recovery.

Abstract
Although hematopoietic cell transplantation from an HLA-matched unrelated donor is potentially curative for hematologic malignancies, survival is lower for African Americans compared with Caucasians. Because only approximately 20% of African Americans will have an HLA-matched unrelated donor, many of these patients undergo HLA-haploidentical relative or umbilical cord blood transplantation. In this study, we analyzed outcomes after HLA-haploidentical related donor (n = 249) and umbilical cord blood (n = 118) transplantations in African American patients with hematologic malignancy between 2008 and 2016. The predominant disease was acute myelogenous leukemia for recipients of both types of donor grafts. The incidences of grade II-IV and III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease were higher after umbilical cord blood transplantation compared with HLA-haploidentical relative transplantation (56% and 29%, respectively, versus 33% and 11%, respectively; P < .0001). The 2-year incidence of transplantation-related mortality adjusted for age and conditioning regimen intensity was higher after umbilical cord blood transplantation compared with HLA-haploidentical related donor transplantation (31% versus 18%; P = .008); however, there were no between-group differences in the 2-year adjusted incidence of relapse (30% versus 34%; P = .51), overall survival (54% versus 57%; P = .66), or disease-free survival (43% versus 47%; P = .46). Our findings show that the use of HLA-haploidentical and umbilical cord blood transplants expands the access to transplantation with comparable leukemia-free and overall survival for African Americans with hematologic malignancies.

Abstract
7503 Background: Characteristics such as disease, disease status and cytogenetic abnormalities impact relapse and survival after transplantation for acute myeloid (AML) and acute lymphoblastic (ALL) leukemia. In adults, these attributes were used to derive the disease risk index for survival. Thus, the current analysis sought to develop and validate a pediatric disease risk index (p-DRI). Methods: Eligible were patients aged <18 years with AML (n=1135) and ALL (n=1228) transplanted between 2008 and 2017 in the United States. Separate analyses were performed for AML and ALL. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to a training and validation cohort. Cox proportional hazards model with stepwise selection was used to select significant variables (2-sided p<0.05). The primary outcome was leukemia-free survival (LFS; relapse or death were events). Based on the magnitude of log(HR), a weighted score was assigned to each characteristic that met the level of significance and risk groups were created. Results: Four risk groups were identified for AML and three risk groups for ALL (Table). The 5-year probabilities of LFS for AML were 81% (68-91), 56% (51-61), 44% (39-49) and 21% (15-28) for good, intermediate, high and very high-risk groups, respectively. The 5-year probabilities of LFS for ALL were 68% (63-72), 50% (45-54) and 15% (3-34) for good, intermediate, high risk groups, respectively. Conclusions: This validated p-DRI successfully stratified children with AML and ALL for prognostication undergoing allogeneic transplantation. [Table: see text]

Abstract
We report the outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for 52 patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) who underwent transplantation between 2000 and 2017. The median age at transplantation was 11 years, and the median duration of follow-up was 60 months. The indication for HSCT was bone marrow failure (BMF; cytopenia or aplastic anemia) in 39 patients and myelodysplasia (MDS)/acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in 13 patients. The donor type was an HLA-matched sibling for 18 patients, an HLA-matched or mismatched relative for 6 patients, and an HLA-matched or mismatched unrelated donor for 28 patients. Preparative regimens for BMF were myeloablative in 13 patients and reduced intensity in 26. At the time of this report, 29 of the 39 patients with BMF were alive, and the 5-year overall survival was 72% (95% confidence interval, 57% to 86%). Graft failure and graft-versus-host disease were the predominant causes of death. Preparative regimens for patients with MDS/AML were myeloablative in 8 and reduced intensity in 5. At the time of this report, only 2 of 13 patients were alive (15%), with relapse the predominant cause of death. Survival after transplantation for SDS-related BMF is better compared with historical reports, but strategies are needed to overcome graft failure and graft-versus-host disease. For SDS- related MDS or AML, transplantation does not extend survival. Rigorous surveillance and novel treatments for leukemia are urgently needed.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a well-established treatment to control and/or cure many malignant and nonmalignant diseases involving the hematopoietic system and some solid tumors. We report information about HCT procedures performed in the United States in 2018 and analyze trends and outcomes of HCT as reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR). Overall, compared with 2017, the number of allogeneic HCTs performed in the United States increased by 1%, and the number of autologous HCTs decreased by 5%. Key findings are fewer autologous HCTs performed for non-Hodgkin lymphoma and increasing numbers of haploidentical HCTs, nearly all of which use post-transplantation cyclophosphamide for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. There is a continuing increase in HCT in adults age >70 years, particularly for acute myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. Survival rates by disease, disease stage, donor type, and age are presented. This report, prepared annually by the CIBMTR, provides a snapshot of current transplant activity in the United States.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the outcomes of patients with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing nonmyeloablative haploidentical or unrelated cord blood (UCB) hematopoietic cell transplantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively studied 740 patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 283, 38%) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 457, 62%) age 18-75 years who received transplantations from 2009 to 2016. Data were reported to the Lymphoma Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, Eurocord, or Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. Of the 526 patients who received haploidentical transplantation, 68% received bone marrow and 32% received peripheral blood. All patients received a uniform transplantation conditioning regimen (2 Gy of total-body irradiation, cyclophosphamide, and fludarabine) and graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis (calcineurin inhibitor and mycophenolate). In addition, patients who received a haploidentical transplantation received posttransplantation cyclophosphamide. RESULTS Compared with haploidentical bone marrow and peripheral-blood transplantations and adjusted for age, lymphoma subtype, and disease status, survival was lower after UCB transplantation (hazard ratio [HR], 1.55; P = .001; and HR, 1.59; P = .005, respectively). Similarly, progression-free survival was lower after UCB transplantations compared with haploidentical bone marrow and peripheral-blood transplantations (HR, 1.44; P = .002; and HR, 1.86; P < .0001), respectively. The 4-year overall and progression-free survival rates after UCB transplantation were 49% and 36%, respectively, compared with 58% and 46% after haploidentical bone marrow transplantation and 59% and 52% after peripheral-blood transplantation, respectively. Lower survival was attributed to higher transplantation-related mortality after UCB transplantation compared with haploidentical bone marrow and peripheral-blood transplantation (HR, 1.91; P = .0001; and HR, 2.27; P = .0002, respectively). CONCLUSION When considering HLA-mismatched transplantation for Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the data support haploidentical related donor transplantation over UCB transplantation.

Abstract
With the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing barriers to the collection and transport of donor cells, it is often necessary to collect and cryopreserve grafts before initiation of transplantation conditioning. The effect on transplantation outcomes in nonmalignant disease is unknown. This analysis examined the effect of cryopreservation of related and unrelated donor grafts for transplantation for severe aplastic anemia in the United States during 2013 to 2019. Included are 52 recipients of cryopreserved grafts who were matched for age, donor type, and graft type to 194 recipients who received noncryopreserved grafts. Marginal Cox regression models were built to study the effect of cryopreservation and other risk factors associated with outcomes. We recorded higher 1-year rates of graft failure (hazard ratio [HR], 2.26; 95% confidence interval, 1.17 to 4.35; P = .01) and of 1-year overall mortality (HR, 3.13; 95% CI, 1.60 to 6.11; P = .0008) after transplantation of cryopreserved compared with noncryopreserved grafts, with adjustment for sex, performance score, comorbidity, cytomegalovirus serostatus, and ABO blood group match. The incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease did not differ between the 2 groups. Adjusted probabilities of 1-year survival were 73% (95% CI, 60% to 84%) in the cryopreserved graft group and 91% (95% CI, 86% to 94%) in the noncryopreserved graft group. These data support the use of noncryopreserved grafts whenever possible in patients with severe aplastic anemia.

Abstract
We sought to study whether survival after haploidentical transplantation is comparable to that after matched unrelated donor transplantation for 822 patients aged 50-75 years with acute myeloid leukemia in first or second complete remission. One hundred and ninety-two patients received grafts from haploidentical donors (sibling 25%; offspring 75%) and 631 patients from matched unrelated donors aged 18-40 years. Patients’ and disease characteristics of the two groups were similar except that recipients of matched unrelated donor transplantation were more likely to have poor risk cytogenetics and more likely to receive myeloablative conditioning regimens. Time from documented remission to transplant did not differ by donor type. Five-year overall survival was 32% and 42% after haploidentical and matched unrelated donor transplant, respectively (P=0.04). Multivariable analysis showed higher mortality (hazard ratio 1.27, P=0.04) and relapse (hazard ratio 1.32, P=0.04) after haploidentical transplantation, with similar non-relapse mortality risks. Chronic graft-versus-host disease was higher after matched unrelated donor compared to haploidentical transplantation when bone marrow was the graft (hazard ratio 3.12, P<0.001), but when the graft was peripheral blood, there was no difference in the risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease between donor types. These data support the view that matched unrelated donor transplant with donors younger than 40 years is to be preferred.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Donors other than matched siblings and low-intensity conditioning regimens are increasingly used in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We aimed to compare the relative risk of donor type and conditioning regimen intensity on the transplantation outcomes of in patients with sickle cell disease. METHODS For this retrospective cohort study, we collected data from 90 US centres reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. Eligible patients were younger than 50 years, had genetically confirmed sickle cell disease (Hb SS) or sickle beta thalassemia (Hb Sβ), and underwent allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation between Jan 15, 2008, and Dec 28, 2017. We considered transplants from donor-recipient pairs matched at the allele-level (HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-DRB1), including HLA-matched sibling donors, haploidentical related donors, matched unrelated donors, or mismatched unrelated donors. The main outcome was event-free survival. The effect of donor type, conditioning regimen intensity (myeloablative, non-myeloablative, and reduced-intensity regimens), age (≤12 or 13-49 years), sex, performance score, comorbidity index, recipient cytomegalovirus serostatus, graft type (bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood), and transplantation period (2008-12 and 2013-17) on outcomes was studied using Cox regression models. FINDINGS Of 996 patients with sickle cell disease and who underwent transplantation in 2008-17, 910 (91%) were included (558 [61%] patients had HLA-matched sibling donors, 137 [15%] haploidentical related donors, 111 [12%] matched unrelated donors, and 104 [11%] mismatched unrelated donors). The median follow-up was 36 months (IQR 18-60) after transplantation from HLA-matched siblings, 25 months (12-48) after transplantation from haploidentical related donors, 37 months (23-60) after transplantation from HLA-matched unrelated donors, and 47 months (24-72) after transplantation from mismatched unrelated donors. Event-free survival was worse in recipients aged 13 years or older than in those younger than 13 years (hazard ratio 1·74, 95% CI 1·24-2·45; p=0·0014) and in those who received a transplant from haploidentical related donors (5·30, 3·17-8·86; p<0·0001), matched unrelated donors (3·71, 2·39-5·75; p<0·0001), and mismatched unrelated donors (4·34, 2·58-7·32; p<0·0001) than in patients who received a transplant from matched siblings. There was no significant difference in event-free survival between recipients of transplants from non-sibling donors: haploidentical related donors (1·43, 0·81-2·50; p=0·21) or mismatched unrelated donors (1·17, 0·67-2·05; p=0·58) versus HLA-matched unrelated donors, or mismatched unrelated donors versus haploidentical related donors (1·22, 0·65-2·27; p=0·98). Event-free survival was also worse in patients conditioned with reduced-intensity regimens (1·97, 1·15-3·36; p=0·013) than in those conditioned with non-myeloablative regimens, but did not differ between those who received myeloablative compared with non-myeloablative regimens (1·57, 0·95-2·61; p=0·079). Interpretation Our data suggest that event-free survival is improved in patients with sickle cell disease who receive an allogenic transplantation at age 12 years or younger and those with an HLA-matched sibling donor. For patients without a matched sibling available for transplantation, our data do not favour one alternative donor type over another in this setting.

Abstract
We report on 499 patients with severe aplastic anemia aged ≥ 50years who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from HLA-matched sibling (n = 275, 55%) or HLA-matched (8/8) unrelated donors (n = 187, 37%) between 2005 and 2016. The median age at HCT was 57.8 years; 16% of patients were 65 to 77years old. Multivariable analysis confirmed higher mortality risks for patients with performance score less than 90% (hazard ratio [HR], 1.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03 to 1.92; P = .03) and after unrelated donor transplantation (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1 to 2.16; P = .05). The 3-year probabilities of survival for patients with performance scores of 90 to 100 and less than 90 after HLA-matched sibling transplant were 66% (range, 57% to 75%) and 57% (range, 47% to 76%), respectively. The corresponding probabilities after HLA-matched unrelated donor transplantation were 57% (range, 48% to 67%) and 48% (range, 36% to 59%). Age at transplantation was not associated with survival, but grades II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) risks were higher for patients aged 65years or older (subdistribution HR [sHR], 1.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.07 to 2.72; P = .026). Chronic GVHD was lower with the GVHD prophylaxis regimens calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) + methotrexate (sHR, .52; 95% CI, .33 to .81; P = .004) and CNI alone or with other agents (sHR, .27; 95% CI, .14 to .53; P < .001) compared with CNI + mycophenolate. Although donor availability is modifiable only to a limited extent, choice of GVHD prophylaxis and selection of patients with good performance scores are key for improved outcomes.

Abstract
Stroke and cognitive decline are hallmarks of sickle cell disease (SCD). The natural history of SCD predicts progressive loss of 1 IQ point per year attributable to disease-related pathology. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is curative by reverting to donor-derived erythropoiesis, but evidence that HCT can positively influence disease-induced cognitive decline is lacking. The Sickle Cell Unrelated Transplant Trial prospectively evaluated cognition and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings at 2 years after reduced-intensity conditioning followed by unrelated donor HCT. Thirteen study participants completed pre-HCT and post-HCT assessments of intelligence. The mean age of participants was 12.5 ± 3.3 years (range, 6.7 to 17.4 years). Eleven of the 13 recipients completed imaging studies at baseline and post-HCT. Seven had overt stroke pre-HCT, and 1 had an elevated transcranial Doppler velocity with abnormal MRI. The mean Full-Scale IQ was stable: 90.9 ± 13 at baseline and 91.2 ± 13 post-HCT. The mean Performance IQ was 89.9 ± 13 at baseline versus 90.9 ± 13 post-HCT, and mean Verbal IQ was 93.4 ± 13 at baseline versus 93.2 ± 13 post-HCT, respectively. Six recipients had stable MRI; 2 showed resolution of all areas of infarction. Three had additional infarcts post-HCT noted at the 2-year time point. This is the first report describing stabilization of IQ and central nervous system outcomes after unrelated donor HCT despite previous central nervous system morbidity and post-HCT posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. These preliminary results post-HCT suggest that HCT may stabilize the cognitive decline of SCD and should continue to be followed over the long term.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with myeloablative conditioning for disorders associated with excessive inflammation such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is associated with early mortality. A multicenter prospective phase 2 trial of reduced-intensity conditioning with melphalan, fludarabine, and intermediate-timing alemtuzumab was conducted for HLA matched or single HLA locus mismatched related or unrelated donor HCT in a largely pediatric cohort. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was cyclosporine with methylprednisolone. The primary end point was 1-year overall survival (OS). Thirty-four patients with HLH and 12 with other primary immune deficiencies were transplanted. With a median follow-up of 20 months, the 1-year OS for transplanted patients was 80.4% (90% confidence interval [CI], 68.6%-88.2%). Five additional deaths by 16 months yielded an 18-month OS probability of 66.7% (90% CI, 52.9%-77.3%). Two patients experienced primary graft failure, and 18 patients either experienced a secondary graft failure or required a second intervention (mostly donor lymphocyte infusion [DLI]). At 1 year, the proportion of patients alive with sustained engraftment without DLI or second HCT was 39.1% (95% CI, 25.2%-54.6%), and that of being alive and engrafted (with or without DLI) was 60.9% (95% CI, 45.4 %-74.9%). The day 100 incidence of grade II to IV acute GVHD was 17.4% (95% CI, 8.1%-29.7%), and 1-year incidence of chronic GVHD was 26.7% (95% CI, 14.6%-40.4%). Although the trial demonstrated low early mortality, the majority of surviving patients required DLI or second HCT. These results demonstrate a need for future approaches that maintain low early mortality with improved sustained engraftment. The trial was registered at Clinical Trials.gov (NCT 01998633).
