Abstract
OBJECTIVES NS-87/CPX-351 is a dual-drug liposomal encapsulation of cytarabine and daunorubicin. NS-87/CPX-351 exerts antileukemic action by maintaining a synergistic molar ratio of cytarabine to daunorubicin of 5:1 within the liposome while in circulation. Patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which includes therapy-related AML and AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC), have poorer outcomes than those with other AML. METHODOLOGY This open-label phase 1/2 (P1/2) study was conducted in 47 Japanese patients aged 60-75 years with newly diagnosed high-risk AML to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of NS-87/CPX-351. RESULTS In the 6 patients enrolled in the P1 portion, no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were reported, and 100 units/m2 during the induction cycle was found to be acceptable. Cytarabine and daunorubicin had a long half-life in the terminal phase (32.8 and 28.7 h, respectively). In the 35 patients enrolled in the P2 portion, composite complete remission (CRc; defined as complete remission [CR] or CR with incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi]) was achieved in 60.0% (90% CI: 44.7-74.0) of the patients. Adverse events due to NS-87/CPX-351 were well tolerated. OUTCOMES NS-87/CPX-351 can be considered as a frontline treatment option for Japanese patients with high-risk AML.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Clinically significant cytomegalovirus infection (csCMVi) is frequently observed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and prophylaxis with letermovir is commonly adopted. However, the clinical benefit of letermovir prophylaxis according to graft sources has not been sufficiently elucidated. We retrospectively analyzed 2194 recipients of HSCT who were CMV-seropositive (236 with letermovir prophylaxis and 1958 without prophylaxis against CMV). csCMVi was significantly less frequent in patients with letermovir prophylaxis than in those without (23.7% vs 58.7% at 100 days after HSCT, P < .001) and the same trend was seen when recipients of bone marrow (BM), peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC), or cord blood (CB) transplantation were separately analyzed. In recipients of BM, nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was significantly lower in the letermovir group at 6 months after HSCT (5.0% vs 14.9%, P = .018), and the same trend was observed in recipients of PBSCs (14.7% vs 24.8%, P = .062); however, there was no statistical significance at 1 year (BM, 21.1% vs 30.4%, P = .67; PBSCs, 21.2% vs 30.4%, P = .096). In contrast, NRM was comparable between recipients of CB with and without letermovir prophylaxis throughout the clinical course (6 months, 23.6% vs 24.3%, P =.92; 1 year, 29.3% vs 31.0%, P = .77), which was confirmed by multivariate analyses. In conclusion, the impact of letermovir prophylaxis on NRM and csCMVi should be separately considered according to graft sources.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation can occur following allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, the clinical characteristics and outcomes of EBV-viral load are not well known. Thus, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical features and prognostic impact of the EBV viral load in 121 allo-HSCT recipients from our hospital. EBV DNA quantification was performed in whole blood after transplantation. Patients were grouped based on whether EBV DNA quantification reached > 1000 copies/mL during follow-up (N = 50) or not (N = 71). Patients with EBV > 1000 EBV copies/mL were relatively more common in the groups with graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis including ATG, haploidentical donor type, peripheral blood as a donor source, and acute GVHD II-IV. The 20-month OS and DFS were not significantly different between patients with < 1000 EBV copies/mL and patients with > 1000 EBV copies/mL (20-month OS, 56.0% vs. 60.6%; p = 0.503, 20-month DFS, 50.0% vs. 57.7%; p = 0.179). Immunosuppressant (ISS) dose reduction was achieved after the maximum increase in EBV in 41/50 (82%) patients. Additionally, 30/50 (60%) patients achieved a 50% dose reduction or no restarting of ISS within 3 months of the maximum EBV increase. Among cases wherein EBV DNA quantification reached > 1000 copies/mL, those that achieved rapid dose reduction of ISS tended to have longer overall survival ("not reached" vs 5.4 months, p < 0.001) and disease-free survival (88.4 months vs 5.3 months, p < 0.001) than those in patients who did not. Our data highlight the importance of rapid ISS reduction in post-transplant EBV reactivation.

Abstract
Due to the proliferation of genetic testing, pathogenic germline variants predisposing to hereditary hematological malignancy syndrome (HHMS) have been identified in an increasing number of genes. Consequently, the field of HHMS is gaining recognition among clinicians and scientists worldwide. Patients with germline genetic abnormalities often have poor outcomes and are candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, HSCT using blood from a related donor should be carefully considered because of the risk that the patient may inherit a pathogenic variant. At present, we now face the challenge of incorporating these advances into clinical practice for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and optimizing the management and surveillance of patients and asymptomatic carriers, with the limitation that evidence-based guidelines are often inadequate. The 2016 revision of the WHO classification added a new section on myeloid malignant neoplasms, including MDS and AML with germline predisposition. The main syndromes can be classified into three groups. Those without pre-existing disease or organ dysfunction; DDX41, TP53, CEBPA, those with pre-existing platelet disorders; ANKRD26, ETV6, RUNX1, and those with other organ dysfunctions; SAMD9/SAMD9L, GATA2, and inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. In this review, we will outline the role of the genes involved in HHMS in order to clarify our understanding of HHMS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Late cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease, which was defined as CMV disease occurring >100 days post-transplant, remains an important complication among allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients, even now that the prophylactic strategy using ganciclovir preemptive therapy has been established. Due to the recent expansion of donor sources and conditioning regimens, it is therefore appropriate to reevaluate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical impacts of late CMV disease. METHODS This study included the 1295 adult patients, who underwent transplant for the first time from 2008 to 2015, without underlying disease relapse or CMV disease within 100 days post-transplant. There were no restrictions on underlying diseases or transplant procedures. RESULTS During the median follow-up period of 48.4 months, 21 patients developed late CMV disease and the 5-year cumulative incidence of late CMV disease was 1.6%. By multivariate analysis, haploidentical related donor, adult T-cell leukemia lymphoma, and preemptive therapy before 100 days post-transplant were extracted as independent risk factors. Late CMV disease negatively affected transplant outcomes, and was identified as an independent risk factor for the non-relapse mortality rate (hazard ratio 3.83, p < 0.001) and overall survival rate (hazard ratio 4.01, p < 0.001). Although 17 of 21 patients with late CMV disease died, the main causes of death were not related to CMV, except in three patients with CMV pneumonia. CONCLUSIONS Although the incidence of late CMV disease is low in transplant recipients, this complication negatively affects clinical courses. Therefore, transplant recipients with these risk factors should be more carefully managed.

Abstract
Aplastic anemia patients who are refractory to immunosuppressive therapy or with very low neutrophil counts require allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) has been a treatment option when an HLA-matched donor is not available, and HSCT from a related haploidentical donor using post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis (PTCy-haplo) recently became another important approach. We aimed to compare the outcomes of PTCy-haplo and UCBT in adult patients with aplastic anemia to identify more effective and safer approaches for alternative donor transplantation. Data in a nationwide registry were analyzed retrospectively to assess the outcomes of aplastic anemia patients age ≥16 years who underwent PTCy-haplo or UCBT as their first HSCT between 2016 and 2020. The primary endpoint was 1-year overall survival (OS) after HSCT. Secondary endpoints included 1-year failure-free survival (FFS), neutrophil and platelet engraftment, and acute and chronic GVHD. Eighty-three patients who underwent PTCy-haplo (n = 24) or UCBT (n = 59) were eligible. The 1-year OS rate was 78.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 55.7% to 90.5%) in the PTCy-haplo group and 77.5% (95% CI, 64.5% to 86.3%; P = .895) in the UCBT group. The 1-year FFS rate was 78.7% (95% CI, 56.1% to 90.6%) in the PTCy-haplo group and 62.2% (95% CI, 48.5% to 73.3%; P = .212) in the UCBT group. Among patients age <40 years, the PTCy-haplo group had a significantly higher FFS rate (92.9% [95% CI, 59.1% to 99.0%]) vs 63.9% [95% CI, 43.2% to 78.7%]; P = .047). Neutrophil engraftment and platelet engraftment rates were significantly higher in the PTCy-haplo group compared with the UCBT group: 95.8% (95% CI, 73.9% to 99.4%) vs 78.0% (95% CI, 65.1% to 86.6%, P < .001) and 83.3% (95% CI, 61.5% to 93.4%) vs 72.9% (95% CI, 59.6% to 82.4%; P = .025). No significant difference was observed in the cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD and chronic GVHD between the 2 groups. Aplastic anemia patients achieved significantly higher neutrophil and platelet engraftment rates with PTCy-haplo than with UCBT. OS and the incidences of acute and chronic GVHD were similar between the 2 groups. In patients age <40 years, the FFS rate was higher in the PTCy-haplo group. PTCy-haplo is promising for alternative donor transplantation in adult patients with aplastic anemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Influenza virus infection (IVI) occasionally causes lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients. Although the progression to LRTI entails a high mortality, the role of early antiviral therapy for its prevention has not been fully elucidated. METHODS This was a multicenter retrospective study using an additional questionnaire. Allo-HSCT recipients who developed IVI between 2012 and 2020 were included. RESULTS A total of 278 cases of IVI after allo-HSCT were identified from 15 institutions. The median patient age was 49 years, and the median time from allo-HSCT to IVI was 918 days. Neuraminidase inhibitors were administered within 48 hours of symptom onset (early neuraminidase inhibitor [NAI]) in 199 (76.9%) patients. Subsequently, 36 (12.3%) patients developed LRTI. On the multivariate analysis, age ≥50 years (hazard ratio [HR], 2.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-4.58) and moderate to severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (HR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.14-4.58) were significantly associated with progression to LRTI, whereas early NAI suppressed the progression (HR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.06-0.46). The IVI-related mortality rate was 2.2%. CONCLUSION To reduce the risk of LRTI development after IVI, early NAI therapy should be considered in allo-HSCT recipients, especially with older patients and those with chronic graft-versus-host disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cowden syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by the development of hamartomas and increased risks of other tumors, including breast, thyroid, and uterine cancers. Most patients with Cowden syndrome show mutations of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene on chromosome 10; however, some patients with mutations do not show clinical symptoms, while patients with clinical symptoms may not have detectable PTEN mutations. CASE PRESENTATION A 39-year-old woman with macrocephaly had previously been diagnosed with Cowden syndrome at another hospital, when she presented with the onset of breast cancer. A wide variety of complications were detected, including cerebellar tumors treated by resection, hydrocephalus, and multiple polyps in the stomach and large intestine. She was further diagnosed with adult-onset Lhermitte-Duclos disease as a complication of Cowden syndrome. She subsequently developed a dural arteriovenous fistula treated by transvenous embolization. After transfer to our hospital, she developed adenomatous goiter treated by resection, recurrent breast cancer treated with hormonal therapy, and multifocal oral mucosal papillomatosis. Her older sister had previously been diagnosed with Cowden syndrome and her father was undiagnosed but had macrocephaly, hydrocephalus, and multifocal oral mucosal papillomatosis, suggestive of Cowden syndrome. After consultation with a genetic specialist, analysis of the PTEN gene showed a rare but likely pathogenic germline c.801 + 2T>A variant located at the splice donor site of intron 7. The patient's clinical diagnosis of Cowden syndrome was accordingly confirmed by the genetic findings. Appropriate surveillance procedures were put in place to detect any further tumors. CONCLUSIONS The clinical symptoms of Cowden syndrome do not always correlate with the genetic results. However, recent improvements in genetic testing suggest the importance of diagnosing this disease using both clinical and genetic approaches, in collaboration with genetic experts, to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate surveillance for malignant tumors.

Abstract
The prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with der(1;7)(q10;p10) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is unclear due to its rarity. We retrospectively analyzed 151 AML patients with der(1;7)(q10;p10) and compared the findings with those of 853 AML patients with monosomy 7 or chromosome 7q deletion (-7/del(7q)) using Japanese nationwide registry data. The der(1;7)(q10;p10) group showed significantly better transplant outcomes than the -7/del(7q) group. In the multivariate analysis of the der(1;7)(q10;p10) group, additional chromosomal abnormalities and a poor performance status significantly influenced the survival. In conclusion, allo-SCT is a feasible treatment option for AML patients with der(1;7)(q10;p10).

Abstract
Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains an important therapeutic strategy for multiple myeloma; however, a proportion of patients fail to mobilize a sufficient number of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) to proceed to ASCT. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the characteristics and outcomes of poor mobilizers. Clinical data on poorly mobilized patients who underwent PBSC harvest for almost 10 years were retrospectively collected from 44 institutions in the Japanese Society of Myeloma (JSM). Poor mobilizers were defined as patients with less than 2 × 106/kg of CD34+ cells harvested at the first mobilization. The proportion of poor mobilization was 15.1%. A sufficient dataset including overall survival (OS) was evaluable in 258 poor mobilizers. Overall, 92 out of 258 (35.7%) poor mobilizers did not subsequently undergo ASCT, mainly due to an insufficient number of PBSCs. Median OS from apheresis was longer for poor mobilizers who underwent ASCT than for those who did not (86.0 vs. 61.9 mon., p = 0.02). OS from the diagnosis of poor mobilizers who underwent ASCT in our cohort was similar to those who underwent ASCT in the JSM database (3y OS rate, 86.8% vs. 85.9%). In this cohort, one‐third of poor mobilizers who did not undergo ASCT had relatively poor survival. In contrast, the OS improved in poor mobilizers who underwent ASCT. However, the OS of extremely poor mobilizers was short irrespective of ASCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since cord blood (CB) units are usually selected based on the cell dose /kg, overweight (25 kg/m2 ≤ body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2) and obese (30 kg/m2 ≤ BMI) recipients tend to have difficulty in getting appropriate CB units. In general, actual body weight (ABW) is used for CB unit selection. However, ideal body weight (IBW) has been reported to be more closely correlated with successful engraftment after autologous, allogeneic bone marrow, and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation than ABW. OBJECTIVES We conducted this analysis to clarify the threshold of CD34+ cell doses based on ideal body weight (CD34IBW) and to compare the outcomes among the groups stratified by the threshold according to actual body weight (CD34ABW) and CD34IBW for overweight and obese recipients in cord blood transplantation (CBT). STUDY DESIGN We retrospectively analyzed 650 overweight and obese recipients who received single-unit CBT. To focus on the recipients who received a low CD34+ cell dose /kg, those who received 1.5×105 CD34+ cells /ABW or more were excluded. Using a cut-off of 0.8×105 CD34+ cells/kg, we compared the outcomes in 3 groups with low CD34ABW and low CD34IBW (CD34Low/Low), low CD34ABW but high CD34IBW (CD34Low/High), and high CD34ABW and high CD34IBW (CD34High/High). RESULTS Hematopoietic recoveries were significantly delayed in the CD34Low/Low group compared with those in the CD34Low/High group (hazard ratio (HR) 0.67 for neutrophil, P < 0.001; HR 0.72 for platelet, P = 0.014), while those were comparable in the CD34Low/High and CD34High/High groups (HR 1.22 for neutrophil, P = 0.16; HR 1.29 for platelet, P = 0.088). Moreover, the CD34Low/High group demonstrated longer overall survival than the CD34Low/Low group (HR 1.48, P = 0.011) and comparable survival to the CD34High/High group (HR 0.93, P = 0.68). CONCLUSIONS This finding may address the lack of availability of CB units for some overweight and obese recipients for whom suitable donors are unavailable. Further investigations are warranted to evaluate the appropriateness of ABW and IBW.

Abstract
DSP‐7888 is an immunotherapeutic cancer vaccine derived from the Wilms’ tumor gene 1 (WT1) protein. This phase 1/2 open‐label study evaluated the safety and efficacy of DSP‐7888 dosing emulsion in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). DSP‐7888 was administered intradermally (3.5 or 10.5 mg) every 2 weeks for 6 months and then every 2‐4 weeks until lack of benefit. Twelve patients were treated in phase 1 (3.5 mg, n = 6; 10.5 mg, n = 6), with no dose‐limiting toxicities reported. Thus, the 10.5 mg dose was selected as the recommended phase 2 dose, and 35 patients were treated in phase 2. Forty‐seven patients received ≥1 dose of the study drug and comprised the safety analysis set. The most common adverse drug reaction (ADR) was injection site reactions (ISR; 91.5%). Grade 3 ISR were common (58.8%) in phase 1 but occurred less frequently in 2 (22.9%) following implementation of risk minimization strategies. Other common ADR were pyrexia (10.6%) and febrile neutropenia (8.5%). In the efficacy analysis set, comprising patients with higher‐risk MDS after azacitidine failure in phases 1 and 2 (n = 42), the disease control rate was 19.0%, and the median overall survival (OS) was 8.6 (90% confidence interval [CI], 6.8‐10.3) months. Median OS was 10.0 (90% CI, 7.6‐11.4) months in patients with a WT1‐specific immune response (IR; n = 33) versus 4.1 (90% CI, 2.3‐8.1) months in those without a WT1‐specific IR (n = 9; P = .0034). The acceptable safety and clinical activity findings observed support the continued development of DSP‐7888 dosing emulsion.

Abstract
A 60-year-old woman was diagnosed with simultaneous double cancer of the inguinal lymph node(squamous cell carcinoma) and the right lung(combined small cell carcinoma; cT3N0M0, Stage ⅡB)after observing and reporting a right inguinal swelling. Both were local lesions, and standard definitive treatments were administered. Right inguinal malignant tumor resection and right femoral arteriovenous resection with artificial blood vessel replacement and pedicled transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap were performed for the unknown primary cancer. Right upper lobectomy, lymph node dissection, and chest wall resection were performed for the right lung cancer. The postoperative stage of the right lung cancer was pT3N0M0, Stage ⅡB, and cisplatin(CDDP)/vinorelbine(VNR)was administered as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The 2 surgeries and adjuvant chemotherapy were well-tolerated, and there has been no recurrence for 1 year and 5 months.

Abstract
Background Until recently, no effective targeted therapies for FLT3-mutated (FLT3mut+) relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were available in Japan. The FLT3 inhibitor, gilteritinib, was approved in Japan for patients with FLT3mut+ R/R AML based on the phase 3 ADMIRAL trial, which demonstrated the superiority of gilteritinib over salvage chemotherapy (SC) with respect to overall survival (OS; median OS, 9.3 vs 5.6 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.64 [95% confidence interval 0.49, 0.83]; P < 0.001). Methods We evaluated the Japanese subgroup (n = 48) of the ADMIRAL trial, which included 33 patients randomized to 120-mg/day gilteritinib and 15 randomized to SC. Results Median OS was 14.3 months in the gilteritinib arm and 9.6 months in the SC arm. The complete remission/complete remission with partial hematologic recovery rate was higher in the gilteritinib arm (48.5%) than in the SC arm (13.3%). After adjustment for drug exposure, fewer adverse events (AEs) occurred in the gilteritinib arm than in the SC arm. Common grade ≥ 3 AEs related to gilteritinib were febrile neutropenia (36%), decreased platelet count (27%), and anemia (24%). Conclusion Findings in Japanese patients are consistent with those of the overall ADMIRAL study population.

Abstract
The efficacy and clinical significance of pre-conditioning intervention (PCI) before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) not in remission remain inconclusive. The purpose of this multicenter retrospective study was to clarify the clinical significance of PCI before HCT in patients with non-remission ALL. Patients with non-remission ALL who received HCT between 2005 and 2015 at 16 institutions were included. PCI was objectively defined and classified to three groups according to the intensity of PCI (no, intensive, or moderate). The study cohort consisted of 104 patients with a median age of 38 (range 17-68). A significant decrease of blast percentage in the peripheral blood (PB) was confirmed in both PCI groups, suggesting that PCIs were effective to stabilize the disease activity. The group with moderate PCI had higher nucleated cell count in the BM compared to the group with intensive PCI or the group without PCI. The overall survival (OS) rates of groups with intensive and no PCI showed comparable and significantly better compared to the group with moderate PCI (P = 0.009). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the OS of moderate PCI group was significantly worse compared to that of intensive PCI group (HR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.32-4.14, P = 0.004), while the OS of intensive PCI group was comparable to that of the group without PCI. These results suggest that the intensity of PCI rather than the response to PCI may contribute to improve the transplant outcome in patients with ALL not in remission.

Abstract
Molecular relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) has been thought to predict clinical relapse in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PhALL). Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) administration after allo-HCT may dynamically change the status from molecular relapse to molecular remission, but these state changes cannot be accurately represented by conventional survival indicators such as relapse-free survival, where events are usually considered irreversible. We aimed to develop novel indicators of transplant outcomes for allo-HCT recipients with PhALL and to visualize current molecular-relapse-free survival (CMRFS) and current on-TKI status (CTKI), treating molecular relapse or TKI administration after allo-HCT as a reversible event. We retrospectively analyzed 286 patients with PhALL who received allo-HCT between 2000 and 2016 in order to develop the indicators. CMRFS was defined as the probability of molecular remission without clinical relapse or death at any time after allo-HCT. Similarly, CTKI was defined as the probability of TKI administration without clinical relapse or death at any time after allo-HCT. The 1- and 5-year CMRFS rates were 67% and 59%, respectively, whereas the 1- and 5-year conventional molecular relapse-free survival rates were 42% and 37%. The 1- and 5-year CTKI rates were 14% and 8%, respectively. In a post hoc analysis focusing on patients who had achieved a molecular complete remission within 6 weeks (n = 201), the 5-year CMRFS rate (71%) was similar to the 5-year conventional molecular relapse-free survival (molRFS) rate (70%) in the non-TKI group. On the other hand, the 5-year CMRFS rate in the TKI group was 61%, whereas the 5-year conventional molRFS rate was only 38%. CMRFS and CTKI might become useful indicators of transplant success in terms of survival, leukemia-free status, and treatment-free status at any time point. Future extension of these survival models to other clinical situations is warranted.

Abstract
The availability of alternative donor sources could allow elderly patients to receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of single-unit cord blood transplantation (CBT) in 1577 patients aged ≥60 years with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in Japan between 2002 and 2017. In total, 990 (63%) patients were not in complete remission (CR) at the time of CBT. A myeloablative conditioning regimen (52%) and calcineurin inhibitor (CI) + mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis (45%) were more commonly used. With a median follow-up for survivors of 31 months, the probability of overall survival and the cumulative incidence of leukemia-related mortality at 3 years was 31% and 29%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality (NRM) at 100 days and 3 years were 24% and 41%, respectively. The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute GVHD at 100 days and extensive chronic GVHD at 2 years were 44%, 16%, and 14%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment was 80% at 42 days. Results of multivariate analysis indicated that the following factors were significantly associated with higher overall mortality: performance status ≥1, hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index ≥3, adverse cytogenetics, extramedullary disease at diagnosis, and non-CR status at CBT. By contrast, female sex, HLA disparities ≥2, mycophenolate mofetil-based GVHD prophylaxis, and recent CBT were significantly associated with lower overall mortality. In conclusion, single CBT offers a curative option for AML patients aged ≥60 years with careful patient selection.

Abstract
To overcome the delayed or failed engraftment after unrelated cord blood transplantation (CBT), we conducted a multicenter phase II study of intrabone single-unit CBT without antithymocyte globulin (ATG) for adult patients with hematological malignancies (UMIN-CTR, UMIN000020997). Sixty-four patients received an intrabone injection of unwashed (n = 61) or washed (n = 3) cord blood after local anesthesia. All injection-related adverse events were mild and resolved spontaneously. Sixty-two patients were evaluable for the efficacy of intrabone CBT of serological HLA-A, -B, and -DR ≥ 4/6 matched cord blood with a median number of 2.57 × 107/kg cryopreserved total nucleated cells. The probability of survival with neutrophil engraftment on day 28 was 77.4% (95% confidence interval, 67.0-85.8%), which exceeded the threshold value. The cumulative incidences of neutrophils ≥ 0.5 × 109/L on day 60 was 80.6% (68.2-88.6%), with a median time to recovery of 21 days after transplantation. The cumulative incidences of platelets ≥ 20 × 109/L and platelets ≥ 50 × 109/L on day 100 were 75.8% (62.6-84.9%) and 72.6% (59.4-82.1%), respectively, with median time to platelets ≥ 20 × 109/L and platelets ≥ 50 × 109/L of 38 and 45 days after transplantation, respectively. The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV and III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease were 29.0% and 6.5%, respectively. All responded to steroid therapy, and secondary treatments were not required. The present study suggests the efficacy of intrabone single-unit CBT without ATG in terms of early engraftment and controllable acute graft-versus-host disease.

Abstract
For patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive leukemia, there is no consensus regarding how long tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) should be given or whether TKI could be stopped if TKI is administrated after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). We analyzed relapse-free survival (RFS) in 92 allo-HCT patients who received TKI for >3 months after allo-HCT, and aimed to develop a novel indicator, called as current TKI- & relapse-free (cTRFree) achievement. TKI after allo-HCT was started as planned in 39 patients, based on measurable residual disease (MRD) in 53 at a median of 152 days after allo-HCT. There was no difference in post-TKI RFS between the planned and MRD-based starting groups (P = 0.69). Second-generation TKIs were associated with superior RFS in Ph-positive acute leukemia (HR 2.71, P = 0.031). TKI was stopped before relapse in 48 patients. Stopping TKI as a time-dependent covariate was not associated with subsequent hematological relapse (HR 1.18, P = 0.72). In the TKI-stop group, TKI administration for >6 months tended to be associated with superior RFS (HR = 0.30, P = 0.08). As an indicator of transplant success, cTRFree was 35% 5 years after starting TKI. TKI could be stopped for recipients with sustained undetectable MRD. However, further prospective studies will be required to establish clinical recommendations.

Abstract
Objective A central venous catheter (CVC) is often needed to treat hematologic diseases, but it is accompanied by many complications. Ultrasound guidance (USG) or a peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) can reduce such complications. Meterials We collected data of patients with attempted CVC placement in our hematology unit in 2012 (before introduction of USG and PICC) and 2018 (after introduction) and compared both periods. Results In total, 187 CVC insertions were attempted in 2018 and 198 in 2012. USG was used 154 times (82%) in 2018 and 4 times (2%) in 2012 (p<0.001). The success rates of insertion were 95% in 2018 and 89% in 2012 (p=0.063). The incidence of acute complications was 4.3% in 2018 and 9.1% in 2012 (p=0.069). The incidence of CVC removal owing to delayed complications was 26% in 2018 and 21% in 2012 (p=0.327). The sites of approach in 2018 and 2012 were the internal jugular in 42 (22%) and 54 (27%), subclavian in 52 (28%) and 128 (65%), brachial (PICC) in 89 (48%) and 14 (7%), and femoral in 4 (2%) and 2 (1%), respectively (p<0.001). Conclusion USG has become commonplace since its introduction. The landmark-based subclavian approach was largely replaced by PICC with USG in 2018. USG and PICC can help improve success rates and safety profiles.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A better long-term quality of life after umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) is observed compared with transplants from other alternative donors, whereas graft failure and relapses after CBT are still major issues. To minimise graft failure and relapse after CBT, intensification of conditioning by the addition of high-dose cytosine arabinoside (CA) and concomitant continuous use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) are reported to convey a significantly better survival after CBT in some retrospective studies. To confirm the effect of G-CSF plus CA combination, in addition to the standard conditioning regimen, cyclophosphamide (CY)/total body irradiation (TBI), we design a randomised controlled study comparing CA/CY/TBI with versus without G-CSF priming (G-CSF combined conditioned cord blood transplantation [G-CONCORD] study). METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a multicentre, open-label, randomised phase III study that aimed to compare G-CSF+CA/CY/TBI as a conditioning regimen for CBT with CA/CY/TBI. Patients with acute myeloid leukaemia or myelodysplastic syndrome, aged 16-55 years, are eligible. The target sample size is 160 and the registration period is 4 years. The primary endpoint is the 2-year disease-free survival rate after CBT. The secondary endpoints are overall survival, relapse, non-relapse mortality, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease, engraftment rate, time to neutrophil recovery, short-term adverse events, incidence of infections and causes of death.This study employs a single one-to-one web-based randomisation between the with-G-CSF versus without-G-CSF groups after patient registration. Combination of high-dose CA and CY/TBI in both groups is used for conditioning. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol was approved by the central review board, Nagoya University Certified Review Board, after the enforcement of the Clinical Trials Act in Japan. The manuscripts presenting data from this study will be submitted for publication in quality peer-reviewed medical journals. Study findings will be disseminated via presentations at national/international conferences and peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS UMIN000029947 and jRCTs041180059.

Abstract
A multicenter retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the clinical significance of preconditioning intervention (PCI) before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) not in remission. The study cohort consisted of 519 patients classified according to the intensity (intensive/moderate) of PCI and their response to PCI. The group treated with PCI had higher blast counts in the peripheral blood (PB) and had a lower overall survival (OS) rate (P < .001) and higher nonrelapse mortality (NRM) rate (P = .035) compared with those without PCI (no PCI group). Approximately 40% of the patients (68 of 236) achieved a good response to PCI (good PCI group), and those patients had lower blast counts in the PB compared with the group with poor response to PCI (poor PCI group). OS in the good PCI group was comparable to that in the no PCI group and significantly better than that in the poor PCI group (hazard ratio, .54; 95% confidence interval, .39 to .77; P < .001). However, OS was significantly lower in patients with intensive/moderate PCI compared with the no PCI group. These results suggest that PCI increases NRM without decreasing the post-transplantation relapse rate, but may be beneficial for patients with lower blast counts in PB irrespective of its intensity.

Abstract
The optimal pre-transplant conditioning for aplastic anemia (AA) remains unclear. We performed a prospective study on allogeneic transplantation from a related or unrelated donor for adult patients with AA. We assessed whether reduced-dose cyclophosphamide (CY) could decrease toxicity while maintaining engraftment, and low-dose thymoglobulin could safely prevent graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). The pre-transplant conditioning regimen consisted of fludarabine 120 mg/m2 , CY 100 mg/kg, and thymoglobulin 2.5 mg/kg with or without 2 Gy of total body irradiation. Twenty-seven patients with a median age of 36 years were analyzed. Sixteen patients received graft from related donors. The stem cell source was bone marrow in 26 patients. All of the patients but one, who died early, achieved neutrophil engraftment at a median of 19 days. Mixed chimerism was observed in six and five patients at days 30 and 90, respectively. Only one patient experienced secondary engraftment failure with complete donor-type chimerism. None of the patients developed severe acute GVHD. The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 37.7% at 1 year. The overall survival rate was 96.3% at 1 year and 3 years. A high EB virus-DNA load was detected in one patient at days 60. No one developed EBV-lymphoproliferative disorder within a year. The results suggest that the conditioning regimen in this study was safe and effective. However, relatively high incidence of chronic GVHD needs further improvement.

Abstract
A multicenter retrospective study was performed to evaluate the prognostic factors in 104 patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) between 2005 and 2015. The median age was 38 (range, 17 to 68), and the median blast fraction in peripheral blood and bone marrow was 1% (range, 0 to 99%) and 52% (range, 0 to 100%), respectively. With a median follow-up of 47 months (range, 8.3 to 105 months), overall survival (OS), nonrelapse mortality, and relapse mortality at 1 year were 25%, 44%, and 31%, respectively. Multivariate analysis demonstrated independent predictors for poor OS, including nuclear cell count in the bone marrow ≥10 × 104/μL (hazard ratio [HR], 2.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33 to 3.43; P = .002), elevated lactate dehydrogenase level (HR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.05 to 2.62; P = .031), and no primary induction failure (HR, 2.05; 95% CI, 1.11 to 3.78; P = .022). A prognostic scoring index was designed based on these survival predictors. At 2 years, OS was 28%, 14%, and 0% for good (score 0 or 1; n = 47), intermediate (score 2; n = 40), and poor (score 3; n = 17), respectively (P < .001). This scoring system may be useful in identifying the patient population for which allogeneic HCT is least beneficial in advanced stages of ALL.

Abstract
We investigated the feasibility of using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique using molecular barcoding technology to detect MYD88 L265P mutation in unselected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in 52 patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia [1] and 21 patients with IgM-monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). The NGS technique successfully detected the MYD88 L265P in unselected PBMCs at a sensitivity of 0.02%, which was ×5 higher than that of AS-PCR. All the results between paired BM and PB samples from 2 IgM MGUS and 4 untreated WM patients matched completely. MYD88 L265P mutation was detected in 14/21 (66.7%), 14/19 (73.7%), and 10/33 (30.3%) with the median mutant allele burden of 0.36% (range, 0.06-2.85%), 0.48% (range, 0.02-32.3%), and 0.16% (range, 0.02-33.8%), in IgM-MGUS, untreated WM, and previously treated WM, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis identified an absolute peripheral lymphocyte count as the positive predictor of PB mutant allele burden (R2 = 0,72, P<0.0001). Our non-invasive, simple NGS method has the potential to detect MYD88 L265P mutations in PBMCs of IgM MGUS and WM patients, which may especially utilized for monitoring minimal residual tumor burden after treatment.

Abstract
Although cytogenetic abnormalities at diagnosis are recognized as an important prognostic factor in patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the prognostic impact has not been evaluated in allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) recipients. Thus, we assessed 373 Ph-negative ALL patients who underwent allo-SCT. The high-risk (HR) group included those with t(4;11), t(8;14), low hypodiploidy, and complex karyotype, and the standard risk (SR) group included all other karyotypes. Among the 204 patients who underwent a transplant during the first remission (167 in the SR group and 37 in the HR group), the overall survival (OS) rates were similar between these groups (64.1% vs. 80.0% at 5 years, respectively; p = 0.12). Conversely, among the 106 patients who underwent a transplant while not in remission (84 in the SR group and 22 in the HR group), patients in the SR group showed a significantly superior OS rate compared to the HR group (15.4% vs. 4.5% at 5 years, respectively; p = 0.022). These results suggested that treatment outcomes of Ph-negative ALL patients with HR cytogenetic abnormalities may improve following allo-SCT, especially in the first remission. Innovative transplant approaches are warranted in patients who are not in remission.

Abstract
A multicenter retrospective study was performed to explore a prognostic scoring index in order to identify a population who are least likely to benefit from allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The cohort included 519 patients with AML, who received HCT between 2005 and 2015 at a status of relapse or primary induction failure. Multivariate analysis demonstrated five independent predictors for OS, including C-reactive protein ≥ 1 mg/dL, peripheral blood blast fraction ≥ 20%, poor-risk karyotype, performance status ≥ 2, and bone marrow unrelated donor as a stem cell source. A prognostic scoring index was explored based on these predictors, and successfully separated the cohort into four groups. At 2 years, OS was 47%, 24%, 8%, and 0% for Good (Score 0, 1: n = 118), Intermediate-1 (Score 2: n = 75), Intermediate-2 (Score 3: n = 39), and Poor (Score 4: n = 24), respectively (P < 0.001). The predicting value of the index was confirmed in a validation cohort. Although a further validation study is warranted, the scoring index may be useful to predict survival and to identify the population with the lowest survival prior to HCT in patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

Abstract
Based on the outcomes of the TOURMALINE-MM1 trial-a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III clinical study-the use of an oral proteasome inhibitor has been approved in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). In this study, we enrolled 41 Japanese patients, who constituted the safety population. The overall incidence of adverse events (AEs) was similar in IRd and placebo-Rd groups. AEs including thrombocytopenia, skin disorders (rash), vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea occurred more frequently in the IRd group than in the placebo-Rd group. There were no cumulative toxicities, and most toxicities were usually manageable with close monitoring, supportive care, and dose modifications. Compared with the overall safety population, the safety profile of Japanese patients was consistent. Moreover, in Japanese patients, there were no on-study deaths and the incidence of serious AEs was less frequent.

Abstract
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the efficacy of 2-year consolidation therapy with nilotinib, at a dose of 300 mg twice daily, for achieving treatment-free remission in chronic myeloid leukemia patients with a deep molecular response (BCR-ABL1IS ≤0.0032%). Successful treatment-free remission was defined as no confirmed loss of deep molecular response. We recruited 96 Japanese patients, of whom 78 sustained a deep molecular response during the consolidation phase and were therefore eligible to discontinue nilotinib in the treatment-free remission phase; of these, 53 patients (67.9%; 95% confidence interval: 56.4–78.1%) remained free from molecular recurrence in the first 12 months. The estimated 3-year treatment-free survival was 62.8%. Nilotinib was readministered to all patients (n=29) who experienced a molecular recurrence during the treatment-free remission phase. After restarting treatment, rapid deep molecular response returned in 25 patients (86.2%), with 50% of patients achieving a deep molecular response within 3.5 months. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor withdrawal syndrome was reported in 11/78 patients during the early treatment-free remission phase. The treatment-free survival curve was significantly better in patients with undetectable molecular residual disease than in patients without (3-year treatment-free survival, 75.6 versus 48.6%, respectively; P=0.0126 by the log-rank test). There were no significant differences in treatment-free survival between subgroups based on tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment before the nilotinib consolidation phase, tyrosine kinase inhibitor-withdrawal syndrome, or absolute number of natural killer cells. The results of this study indicate that it is safe and feasible to stop tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who have achieved a sustained deep molecular response with 2 years of treatment with nilotinib. This study was registered with UMIN-CTR (UMIN000005904).

Abstract
Cord blood transplantation (CBT) is associated with delayed hematopoietic recovery and graft failure. To overcome these problems, we conducted a prospective, multicenter phase II study of intrabone marrow transplantation in which patients received reduced-intensity conditioning without anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). The primary endpoint was the probability of full donor engraftment. Forty patients with hematologic malignancies were enrolled. Cord blood (CB) cells were injected without washing into 4 iliac bone sites (2 at each hemipelvis), at which approximately 6 mL of CB was administered at one site with local anesthesia. Full donor engraftment rate was 86.8%. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet engraftment was 86.4% and 85.5%, respectively. The median time to neutrophil (>0.5 × 109 /L) and platelet (2.0 × 109 /L) recovery was 17.5 and 44 days, respectively. The probability of severe acute graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) was 47.5%. The cumulative incidence of extensive chronic GVHD was 3.0%. The probability of relapse and non-relapse mortality was 30.4% and 28.0%, respectively. The survival rate at 3 years was 45.6%, although most patients were at an advanced stage. These results suggest that our intrabone marrow-CBT procedure without using ATG improves hematopoietic recovery and decreases the incidence of chronic GVHD, but does not decrease the incidence of acute GVHD.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare inherited disorder of the connective tissue with many reports on its association with bleeding diatheses. OI patients with blue sclera, hearing loss, and bone vulnerability are classified as having van der Hoeve syndrome. Here, we report the first case of rapidly progressing, massive esophageal submucosal hematoma in this syndrome. Bleeding in OI is reportedly due to defective capillary integrity and platelet dysfunction; however, our patient did not show such findings. Multiple factors contributed to the bleeding diathesis, including dysfunction of platelet and platelet-endothelial cell interaction, which could not be proven in vitro.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of conventional chemotherapy and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has been controversial as post-remission therapies for adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 96 adolescent and adult cases of Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia to evaluate whether allo-HSCT should be performed after first complete remission (1CR). Results In total, 34 patients received chemotherapy followed by allo-HSCT (HSCT group) and 62 received chemotherapy alone (chemotherapy group). No significant differences in the event-free survival (EFS) or overall survival were observed between the two groups. In the chemotherapy group, use of pediatric regimens was significantly associated with favorable EFS, while high white blood cell (WBC) count and CD20 positivity were associated with poor outcome. In patients who received pediatric regimens, subsequent allo-HSCT did not influence EFS. In patients who received conventional chemotherapy (adult regimen), subsequent allo-HSCT did not improve EFS. High WBC count and CD20 positivity were also significantly associated with poor EFS in patients who received adult regimens. Patients with low WBC count and absence of CD20 who received adult regimens did not benefit from allo-HSCT. Conclusions Allo-HSCT may not be required in the pediatric regimen-eligible patients; however, pediatric regimen-ineligible patients with either CD20 positivity or high WBC count should receive allo-HSCT after achieving 1CR.

Abstract
The aim of this randomized phase II study was to improve the treatment delays and discontinuations associated with bendamustine use by comparing the effect of Benda-14 (intravenous bendamustine, 120 mg/m2 on days 1 and 15, repeated every 4 weeks for a total of 6 cycles) with those of the standard treatment in relapsed indolent lymphoma and/or mantle cell lymphoma. Forty-six patients were randomly assigned to the treatments from September 2012 to February 2016. Treatment accomplishment rate and median relative dose intensity were similar in both arms: 38 and 63.4% in the Benda-14 arm and 41 and 66.3% in the standard treatment arm, respectively. The overall response rate and median progression-free survival, respectively, were 83% and 21.0 months for Benda-14, and 77% and 15.5 months for the standard treatment. Benda-14 induced favorable responses with less frequent hematological toxicities.

Abstract
Late graft failure (LGF) without evidence of residual recipient cells is a serious complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) and often requires stem cell infusion from the same donor when the patient fails to respond to conventional therapies. We screened the peripheral blood (PB) of 14 patients who developed donor-type LGF at 2 to 132 months after allo-SCT for the presence of the markers for immune-mediated bone marrow (BM) failure. Increased glycosylphosphatidyl inositol-anchored protein-deficient (GPI-AP-) leukocytes, which accounted for .009% to 0.147% of the total granulocytes, were detected in 5 patients (severe aplastic anemia, n = 2; follicular lymphoma, n = 1; acute lymphoblastic leukemia, n = 1; myelodysplastic syndromes; n = 1) and 4.7% to 81.2% HLA-allele-lacking leukocytes (HLA-LLs) were detected in 2 patients (acute myelogenous leukemia, n = 1; and myelodysplastic syndromes, n = 1). Three of the 5 patients with increased GPI-AP- leukocytes were treated with antithymocyte globulin (ATG), and 2 patients achieved transfusion independence. These results suggest that immune mechanisms that are similar to acquired aplastic anemia underlie condition of approximately one-half of the patients with donor-type LGF, and that in patients with increased GPI-AP- cells, donor-derived hematopoiesis may be restored by ATG therapy alone without donor stem cell infusion.

Abstract
The phase I/II study of melphalan-prednisolone-bortezomib (MPB) therapy in Japanese patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma (MM) who are ineligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (JPN-102 trial) (registered between July 2008 and March 2011) showed an overall response rate in the MPB arm equivalent to that of the VISTA trial. In this study, we followed up the clinical data of 92 of the 101 patients registered in the JPN-102 trial to clarify the long-term outcomes of MPB therapy. The median follow-up period was 50.8 (0.9-66.1) months. The median age of this cohort was 72 (48-84) years. The median progression-free survival was 25.7 (95%CI: 21.3-33.9) months and the overall survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 98, 86 and 76%, respectively. There was no significant difference in either progression-free survival or overall survival when comparing a total bortezomib amount of 39 mg/m2 or more being administered versus less than 39 mg/m2. The outcomes of the JPN-102 cohort appeared, at a minimum, to not be inferior to those of the MPB cohort in the VISTA trial. A prospective trial is needed to establish the MPB regimen as being suitable for Japanese patients with multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Cord blood has been investigated as an alternative source for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but information about its use for multiple myeloma is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of cord blood transplantation (CBT) for patients with multiple myeloma. Eighty-six patients with multiple myeloma who underwent a first CBT between 2001 and 2011 were included in this retrospective study. Sixty-two of them had received other types of stem cell transplantation before CBT. The cumulative incidences of neutrophil engraftment at day 50, grade II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and chronic GVHD were 81.4%, 39.0%, and 19.5%, respectively. The incidence of nonrelapse mortality at 2 years was 39.0%, but it was only 6.2% in patients who underwent planned tandem autologous/reduced-intensity conditioning CBT (auto/RIC-CBT). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at 6 years were 13.0% and 15.2%, respectively. Less than a partial response before CBT and lack of prior transplantation were independent significant adverse factors for PFS, whereas the presence of prior transplantation and planned tandem transplantation were associated with better OS. OS at 6 years in patients who underwent auto/RIC-CBT was 45.9%. In addition, the development of chronic GVHD was associated with superior PFS. In conclusion, we demonstrated that cord blood is feasible as an alternative graft source for myeloma patients. Although CBT provided long-term survival for a fraction of patients, optimal use of this graft requires further clinical studies.

Abstract
Our previous study of 301 patients who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from related donors demonstrated the efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for prophylaxis and treatment of graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD). In this study, we investigated the safety and efficacy of MMF in 716 adult patients who received unrelated HSCT. The incidences of Grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD in the prophylactic administration group were 38.3% and 14.3%, respectively. These rates were not statistically significant when evaluating the MMF dosage and graft source. The incidences of limited and extensive chronic GVHD were 16.6% and 11.1%, respectively. In the therapeutic administration group, 69.1% of the subjective symptoms for both acute and chronic GVHD improved. With respect to the adverse events, 75 infections and 50 cases of diarrhea were observed, and the frequency of these events increased with increasing MMF dose. The overall survival rate was 36.4% after a median follow-up period of three yr. This study shows that MMF is safe and effective for the prevention and treatment of GVHD in patients who have received HSCT from unrelated donors.

Abstract
To clarify the effect of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligand incompatibility on outcomes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients in complete remission after single cord blood transplantation (CBT), we assessed the outcomes of CBT registered in the Japan Society for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (JSHCT) database. A total of 643 acute leukemia (357 AML and 286 ALL) patient and donor pairs were categorized according to their KIR ligand incompatibility by determining whether or not they expressed HLA-C, Bw4 or A3/A11 by DNA typing. A total of 128 patient–donor pairs were KIR ligand-incompatible in the graft-versus-host (GVH) direction and 139 patient–donor pairs were incompatible in the host-versus-graft (HVG) direction. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed no significant differences between the KIR ligand-incompatible and compatible groups in the GVH direction for both AML and ALL patients of overall survival, disease-free survival, relapse incidence, non-relapse mortality and acute GVH disease. However, KIR incompatibility in the HVG direction ameliorated engraftment in ALL patients (hazard ratio 0.66, 95% confidence interval 0.47–0.91, P=0.013). Therefore, there were no effects of KIR ligand incompatibility in the GVH direction on single CBT outcomes for acute leukemia patients without anti-thymocyte globulin use. However, it is necessary to pay attention to KIR incompatibility in the HVG direction for engraftment.

Abstract
Achievement of complete molecular response in patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia has been recognized as an important milestone in therapy cessation and treatment-free remission; the identification of predictors of complete molecular response in these patients is, therefore, important. This study evaluated complete molecular response rates in imatinib-treated chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia patients with major molecular response by using the international standardization for quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of the breakpoint cluster region-Abelson1 gene. The correlation of complete molecular response with various clinical, pharmacokinetic, and immunological parameters was determined. Complete molecular response was observed in 75/152 patients (49.3%). In the univariate analysis, Sokal score, median time to major molecular response, ABCG2 421C>A, and regulatory T cells were significantly lower in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia patients with complete molecular response than in those without complete molecular response. In the multivariate analysis, duration of imatinib treatment (odds ratio: 1.0287, P=0.0003), time to major molecular response from imatinib therapy (odds ratio: 0.9652, P=0.0020), and ABCG2 421C/C genotype (odds ratio: 0.3953, P=0.0284) were independent predictors of complete molecular response. In contrast, number of natural killer cells, BIM deletion polymorphisms, and plasma trough imatinib concentration were not significantly associated with achieving a complete molecular response. Several predictive markers for achieving complete molecular response were identified in this study. According to our findings, some chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with imatinib may benefit from a switch to second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ClinicalTrials.gov, UMIN000004935).

A 51-year-old woman diagnosed as having left breast cancer with axillary lymph node and liver metastases seven years earlier was seen in our office because of severe pancytopenia. She had received chemotherapy including several cycles of doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide and docetaxel followed by hormone therapy containing leuprorelin and tamoxifen over four years. For management of bone pain due to metastasis, she had also undergone stereotaxic radiation therapy of the neck one and a half years earlier and unsealed internal radiation therapy with (89)Sr injection five months prior to the current presentation, Subsequently, myelosuppression progressively worsened and she finally required a blood transfusion. Although bone marrow examination showed severe hypoplasia, but neither blastic nor dysplastic, a test for PML-RARA fluorescence in situ hybridization was positive. After administration of all-trans retinoic acid, hematogenesis improved within three weeks. Neither disseminated intravascular coagulation nor retinoic acid syndrome was observed during the course of her illness. This is the first report describing acute promyelocytic leukemia after administration of (89)Sr, to our knowledge, and with an atypical onset and progression. As the number of cancer survivors increases due to improvements in medical intervention, clinicians must take more notice of special characteristics of therapy-related leukemia modified by previous treatments.
