Abstract
Background Melphalan is the most common conditioning regimen used prior to autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT); however, there are varying data on optimal melphalan timing prior to transplant for best safety and efficacy. Historically, ASCT conditioning consisted of melphalan 200 mg/m2 on day 2 (D-2) (48 h prior to ASCT), but many institutions have since adopted a melphalan protocol with administration on day 1 (D-1) (24 h prior to SCT) or split dosing over the 2 days. The optimal timing of melphalan has yet to be determined. Methods In this single-center retrospective study, we analyzed transplant outcomes for patients between March 2011 and September 2020 admitted for high-dose, single-agent melphalan 200 mg/m2 on D-1 vs. D-2. The primary outcomes were time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment. Secondary outcomes include incidence of hospital readmission within 30 days, 2-year progression-free survival, and 2-year overall survival. Results A total of 366 patients were studied (D-2 n = 269 and D-1 n = 97). The incidence of high-risk cytogenetics was similar between the two groups (37% vs. 40%). Median days to absolute neutrophil count engraftment was similar at 11 days in the D-2 and D-1 cohort (n = 269, range 0-14, IQR 11-11 vs. n = 97, range 0-14, IQR 11-12). Median days to platelet engraftment >20,000/mcL was 18 days for D-2 melphalan (range: 0-28, IQR 17-20) versus 19 days for D-1 melphalan (range: 0-32, IQR 17-21). Overall survival at 2 years post-transplant was similar in both cohorts (94%; p = 0.76), and PFS was 70% in D-2 compared with 78% in D-1 (p = 0.15). In a multivariable model including age and performance status, hospital readmission within 30 days of transplant was higher in the D-1 cohort (odds ratio 1.9; p = 0.01). Conclusion This study demonstrates similar neutrophil and platelet engraftment in D-1 and D-2 melphalan cohorts with similar 2-year PFS and OS. Either D-2 or D-1 melphalan dosing schedule is safe and effective.

Abstract
We determined the risk of late morbidity and mortality after autologous blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) for lymphoma performed before age 40. The cohort included autologous BMT recipients who had survived ≥2 years after transplantation (N = 583 [HL = 59.9%; NHL = 40.1%]) and a comparison cohort (N = 1070). Participants self-reported sociodemographics and chronic health conditions. A severity score (grade 3 [severe], 4 [life threatening] or 5 [fatal]) was assigned to the conditions using CTCAE v5.0. Logistic regression estimated the odds of grade 3-4 conditions in survivors vs. comparison subjects. Proportional subdistribution hazards models identified predictors of grade 3-5 conditions among BMT recipients. Median age at BMT was 30.0 years (range: 2.0-40.0) and median follow-up was 9.8 years (2.0-32.1). Survivors were at a 3-fold higher adjusted odds for grade 3-4 conditions (95% CI = 2.3-4.1) vs. comparison subjects. Factors associated with grade 3-5 conditions among BMT recipients included age at BMT (>30 years: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 2.31; 95% CI = 1.27-4.19; reference: ≤21 years), pre-BMT radiation (aHR = 1.52; 95% CI = 1.13-2.03; reference: non-irradiated), and year of BMT (≥2000: aHR = 0.54; 95% CI = 0.34-0.85; reference: <1990). The 25 years cumulative incidence of relapse-related and non-relapse-related mortality was 18.2% and 25.9%, respectively. The high risk for late morbidity and mortality after autologous BMT for lymphoma performed at age <40 calls for long-term anticipatory risk-based follow-up.

Abstract
ABSTRACT In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), donor natural killer cell killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and recipient HLA interactions may contribute to the graft-versus-leukemia effect of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Analyses of individual KIR/HLA interactions, however, have yielded conflicting findings, and their importance in the HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD) setting remains controversial. We systematically studied outcomes of individual donor-KIR/recipient-HLA interactions for HCT outcomes and empirically evaluated prevalent KIR genotypes for clinical benefit. Adult patients with AML (n = 2025) who received HCT with MUD grafts in complete remission reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplantation were evaluated. Only the donor-2DL2+/recipient-HLA-C1+ pair was associated with reduced relapse (hazard ratio [HR], 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.67-0.93; P = .006) compared with donor-2DL2-/recipient-HLA-C1+ pair. However, no association was found when comparing HLA-C groups among KIR-2DL2+-graft recipients. We identified 9 prevalent donor KIR genotypes in our cohort and screened them for association with relapse risk. Genotype 5 (G5) in all recipients and G3 in Bw4+ recipients were associated with decreased relapse risk (HR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.35-0.78; P = .002; and HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.14-0.72; P = .006; respectively) and G2 (HR 1.63, 95% CI, 1.15-2.29; P = .005) with increased relapse risk in C1-homozygous recipients, compared with other patients with the same ligand. However, we could not validate these findings in an external data set of 796 AML transplants from the German transplantation registry. Neither a systematic evaluation of known HLA-KIR interactions nor an empiric assessment of prevalent KIR genotypes demonstrated clinically actionable associations; therefore, these data do not support these KIR-driven strategies for MUD selection in AML.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of hematologic malignancies in patients with relapsed or refractory disease without other treatment options. However, only a very small proportion of patients with an indication for CAR T-cell can access the treatment. The imbalance between supply and demand is magnified in minority and vulnerable populations. Limited access is multifactorial and in part a result of factors directly related to the cellular product such as cost, complex logistics and manufacturing limitations. On the other hand, the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and their social and structural context are also key to understanding access barriers in cellular therapy and health care in general. CAR T-cell therapy provides us with a new opportunity to better understand and prioritize this gap, a key step towards proactively and strategically addressing access. The aim of this review is to provide an analysis of the current state of access to CAR T therapy with a focus on the influence of DEI. We will cover aspects related to the cellular product and the inseparable context of social and structural determinants. Identifying and addressing barriers is necessary to ensure equitable access to this and all future novel therapies.

Abstract
We investigated the impact of donor age (younger [≤35 years] vs. older [>35 years]) after accounting for other non-HLA and HLA factors on outcomes of patients with acute myeloid leukemia undergoing HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (n = 790). The effect differed by conditioning-partly related to the differences in the recipient age in myeloablative (MAC; median 46 years) versus reduced-intensity/non-myeloablative conditioning (RIC/NMA; median 61 years) groups. With MAC (n = 320), donor age had no impact on acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), but older donors were associated with a significantly higher risk of chronic GVHD (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.6, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-2.30, p = .02) independent of recipient age and other factors. Donor age had no impact on either relapse or non-relapse mortality (NRM). The impact of donor/recipient age on overall survival changed over time. Older donors were associated with significantly higher late overall mortality (>6 months) in younger recipients (≤ 50 years; HR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.03-4.6, p = .04) but not older recipients. With RIC/NMA (n = 470), neither recipient's nor donor's age influenced the risk of GVHD. Donor age had no significant impact on the risk of relapse, but older donors were associated with a significantly higher risk of NRM (HR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.02-2.6, p = .04) independent of recipient age. Older donor age was associated with significantly higher late overall mortality (>9 months) in older recipients (>50 years; HR: 1.66, 95% CI: 1.0-2.67; p = .049) but not in younger recipients. Donor selection based on donor age may require a tailored approach for a particular recipient.

Abstract
Options for GVHD prophylaxis after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation can best be chosen by understanding the pathophysiology of GVHD. Interventions to limit T cell activation, expansion and subsequent tissue injury can each be utilized in designing successful GVHD prevention strategies Depleting, tolerizing or blunting T cells or host antigen presenting cells (APCs), blocking co-stimulation or more broadly suppressing inflammation have all been used. Interventions which spare regulatory T cells (Tregs) may prevent GVHD and facilitate controlled allo-responses and not compromise subsequent relapse risks. Graft manipulations and pharmacologic interventions each have potential to limit the morbidity of GVHD while permitting the immunocompetence to prevent infection or relapse.

Abstract
In this article, we used administrative claims data from the OptumLabs Data Warehouse and American Hospital Association Annual Survey data to examine associations between hospital characteristics and uptake of biosimilar granulocyte colony-stimulating factor treatments. We found that 340B-participating hospitals and non-rural referral center (RRC) hospitals that reported owning rural health clinics were less likely to administer the lower-cost biosimilars, whereas the opposite was true for hospitals that are RRCs. To our knowledge, our study offers a first look at an underappreciated source of disparities in access to lower-cost medications such as biosimilars. Results from our study reveal opportunities for targeted policies to encourage adoption of lower-cost treatments, particularly among hospitals that serve rural communities where patients often have fewer choices in care site.

Abstract
Literature discussing endemic and regionally limited infections in recipients of haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) outside western Europe and North America is scarce. This Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) article is part one of two papers aiming to provide guidance to transplantation centres around the globe regarding infection prevention and treatment, and considerations for transplantation based on current evidence and expert opinion. These recommendations were initially formulated by a core writing team from the WBMT and subsequently underwent multiple revisions by infectious disease experts and HSCT experts. In this paper, we summarise the data and provide recommendations on several endemic and regionally limited viral and bacterial infections, many of which are listed by WHO as neglected tropical diseases, including Dengue, Zika, yellow fever, chikungunya, rabies, brucellosis, melioidosis, and leptospirosis.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has an aggressive course and a historically dismal prognosis. For many patients, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) represents the best option for cure, but access, utilization, and health inequities on a global scale remain poorly elucidated. We wanted to describe patterns of global HSCT use in AML for a better understanding of global access, practices, and unmet needs internationally. Estimates of AML incident cases in 2016 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study. HSCT activities were collected from 2009 to 2016 by the Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation through its member organizations. The primary endpoint was global and regional use (number of HSCT) and utilization of HSCT (number of HSCT/number of incident cases) for AML. Secondary outcomes included trends from 2009 to 2016 in donor type, stem cell source, and remission status at time of HSCT. Global AML incidence has steadily increased, from 102,000 (95% uncertainty interval: 90,200-108,000) in 2009 to 118,000 (104,000-126,000) in 2016 (16.2%). Over the same period, a 54.9% increase from 9659 to 14,965 HSCT/yr was observed globally, driven by an increase in allogeneic (64.9%) with a reduction in autologous (-34.9%) HSCT. Although the highest numbers of HSCT continue to be performed in high-resource regions, the largest increases were seen in resource-constrained regions (94.6% in Africa/East Mediterranean Region [AFR/EMR]; 34.7% in America-Nord Region [AMR-N]). HSCT utilization was skewed toward high-resource regions (in 2016: AMR-N 18.4%, Europe [EUR] 17.9%, South-East Asia/Western Pacific Region [SEAR/WPR] 11.7%, America-South Region [AMR-S] 4.5%, and AFR/EMR 2.8%). For patients <70 years of age, this difference in utilization was widened; AMR-N had the highest allogeneic utilization rate, increasing from 2009 to 2016 (30.6% to 39.9%) with continued low utilization observed in AFR/EMR (1.7% to 2.9%) and AMR-S (3.5% to 5.4%). Across all regions, total HSCT for AML in first complete remission (CR1) increased (from 44.1% to 59.0%). Patterns of donor stem cell source from related versus unrelated donors varied widely by geographic region. SEAR/WPR had a 130.2% increase in related donors from 2009 to 2016, and >95% HSCT donors in AFR/EMR were related; in comparison, AMR-N and EUR have a predilection for unrelated HSCT. Globally, the allogeneic HSCT stem cell source was predominantly peripheral blood (69.7% of total HSCT in 2009 increased to 78.6% in 2016). Autologous HSCT decreased in all regions from 2009 to 2016 except in SEAR/WPR (18.9%). HSCT remains a central curative treatment modality in AML. Allogeneic HSCT for AML is rising globally, but there are marked variations in regional utilization and practices, including types of graft source. Resource-constrained regions have the largest growth in HSCT use, but utilization rates remain low, with a predilection for familial-related donor sources and are typically offered in CR1. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the reasons, including economic factors, to understand and address these health inequalities and improve discrepancies in use of HSCT as a potentially curative treatment globally.

Abstract
There is a scarcity of data on endemic and regionally limited fungal and parasitic infections in recipients of haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) outside western Europe and North America. This Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) Review is one of two papers aiming to provide guidance to transplantation centres worldwide regarding prevention, diagnosis, and treatment based on the currently available evidence and expert opinion. These recommendations were created and reviewed by physicians with expertise in HSCT or infectious disease, representing several infectious disease and HSCT groups and societies. In this paper, we review the literature on several endemic and regionally limited parasitic and fungal infections, some of which are listed as neglected tropical diseases by WHO, including visceral leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, strongyloidiasis, malaria, schistosomiasis, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, and coccidioidomycosis.

Abstract
Introduction Graft-versus host disease (GVHD) is a major limitation to the success of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). We hypothesized that the GVHD prophylaxis regimen of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus (Tac) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) would reduce the incidence of GVHD in patients receiving a matched or single antigen mismatched HCT without an increase in risk of malignant relapse. Methods This is a phase II study conducted at the University of Minnesota using a myeloablative regimen of either: (A) total body irradiation (TBI, total dose 1320 cGy, administered in 165 cGy fractions, twice a day from days -4 to -1) or (B) Busulfan 3.2mg/kg daily (cumulative AUC 19,000 - 21,000 μmol/min/L) plus fludarabine 160mg/m2 days -5 to -2, followed by a GVHD prophylaxis regimen of PTCy (50mg/kg days +3 and +4), Tac and MMF (beginning day +5). The primary endpoint is cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppression at 1-year post-transplant. We compared results to our previous myeloablative protocol for matched donors utilizing cyclosporine/methotrexate (CSA/MTX) GVHD prophylaxis. Results From March 2018 - June 2022, we enrolled and treated 125 pediatric and adult patients with a median follow up of 472 days. Grade II-IV acute GVHD occurred in 16% (95% confidence interval (CI): 9-23%); Grade III-IV acute GVHD was 4% (CI: 0-8%). No patients experienced grade IV GVHD, and there were no deaths due to GVHD before day 100. Only 3 developed chronic GVHD requiring immune suppression, (4%, CI: 0-8%). Two-year overall survival (OS) was 80% (CI: 69-87%), and (graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival) GRFS 57% (CI: 45-67%), both higher than historical CSA/MTX. The incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD, cGVHD, and NRM were all lower with PTCy/Tac/MMF compared to historical CSA/MTX. One-quarter (25%) experienced relapse (CI: 15-36%) similar to historical CSA/MTX. There was no statistically significant difference in survival outcomes between recipients of matched versus 7/8 donors. Conclusion Myeloablative HCT with PTCy/Tac/MMF results in extremely low incidence of severe acute or chronic GVHD, the primary endpoint of this clinical trial. Relapse risk is not increased compared to our historical CSA/MTX cohort.

Abstract
Haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis is associated with inferior overall survival (OS) compared to HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD) HCT with PTCy prophylaxis in patients undergoing reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC). Given prognostic implications of donor age, we investigated the differences in outcomes of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML, n=775) undergoing RIC-HCT with a younger MUD (donor age <35 years, n=84) versus younger haploidentical (donor age <35 years, n=302) versus an older haploidentical (≥35 years, n=389) donor. The older MUD group was excluded due to small numbers. Patients in the younger haploidentical group (median age 59.5 years) were somewhat younger than the younger MUD (median 66.8 years) and the older haploidentical (median 64.7 years) groups. More patients in the MUD group received peripheral blood grafts (82%) compared to the haploidentical groups (55-56%). In multivariate analysis, as compared to the younger MUD group, the younger haploidentical [hazard ratio (HR) 1.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.22-3.12, p=0.005)] and the older haploidentical (HR 2.36, 95% CI 1.50-3.71, p<0.001) groups had a significantly inferior OS, and the younger haploidentical (HR 3.72, 95% CI 1.39-9.93, p=0.009) and older haploidentical group (HR 6.91, 95% CI 2.75-17.39, p<0.001) had a significantly higher risk of NRM. The older haploidentical group had a significantly higher risk of grade II-IV acute GVHD (HR 2.29, 95% CI 1.38-3.80, p=0.001) and grade III-IV acute GVHD (HR 2.70, 95% CI 1.09-6.71, p=0.03). There were no significant differences in chronic GVHD or relapse between the groups. Among adult AML patients in CR undergoing RIC-HCT with PTCy prophylaxis, a young MUD may be preferred over a younger haploidentical donor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A comprehensive assessment of morbidity after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) performed in childhood remains understudied. METHODS Seven hundred eighty-nine allogeneic BMT recipients who had survived ≥2 years after BMT performed between 1974 and 2014 at age <22 years and 690 siblings completed a 255-item survey self-reporting sociodemographics and chronic health conditions. A severity score (grade 3 [severe], 4 [life-threatening], or 5 [fatal]) was assigned to the conditions using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0. For the BMT cohort, the cumulative incidence of chronic health conditions was calculated as a function of time from BMT. Proportional subdistribution hazards models were used to determine predictors of grade 3-5 conditions. Logistic regression was used to estimate the risk of grade 3-4 conditions in BMT recipients who were alive at the time of this study compared with siblings. RESULTS The median age at transplantation was 11.3 years (range, 0.4-22.0 years), and the median length of follow-up was 11.7 years (range, 2.0-45.3 years). The most prevalent primary diagnoses were acute lymphoblastic leukemia (30.7%), and acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (26.9%). At age 35 years, the cumulative incidence of a grade 3-4 condition was 53.8% (95% CI, 46.7%-60.3%). The adjusted odds ratio of a grade 3-4 condition was 15.1 in survivors (95% CI, 9.5-24.0) compared with siblings. The risk of a grade 3-5 condition increased with age at BMT (hazard ratio [HR], 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05) and was higher among females (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.02-1.59), patients who received total body irradiation (HR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.27-2.31), and those reporting chronic graft-versus-host disease (HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.09-1.74). CONCLUSIONS Two-year survivors of allogeneic BMT in childhood have an increased risk of grade 3-4 chronic health conditions compared with siblings, suggesting the need for long-term follow-up.

Abstract
The new aspect of our work is to reveal that Ph-like alterations are common among patients with Ph-ALL experiencing relapse after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), despite acquisition of MRD-negative complete responses prior to transplant. This is also the central finding of our work. Therefore, the anticipated benefits of HCT appear diminished among this patient subset; such patients may be better served with efforts to further increase MRD depth prior to HCT, or alternative therapies.

Abstract
Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has been shown to effectively control graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in haploidentical (Haplo) transplantations. In this retrospective registry study, we compared GvHD organ distribution, severity, and outcomes in patients with GvHD occurring after Haplo transplantation with PTCy GvHD prophylaxis (Haplo/PTCy) versus HLA-matched unrelated donor transplantation with conventional prophylaxis (MUD/conventional). We evaluated 2 cohorts: patients with grade 2 to 4 acute GvHD (aGvHD) including 264 and 1163 recipients of Haplo and MUD transplants; and patients with any chronic GvHD (cGvHD) including 206 and 1018 recipients of Haplo and MUD transplants, respectively. In comparison with MUD/conventional transplantation ± antithymocyte globulin (ATG), grade 3-4 aGvHD (28% versus 39%, P = .001), stage 3-4 lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract aGvHD (14% versus 21%, P = .01), and chronic GI GvHD (21% versus 31%, P = .006) were less common after Haplo/PTCy transplantation. In patients with grade 2-4 aGvHD, cGvHD rate after Haplo/PTCY was also lower (hazard ratio [HR] = .4, P < .001) in comparison with MUD/conventional transplantation without ATG in the nonmyeloablative conditioning setting. Irrespective of the use of ATG, non-relapse mortality rate was lower (HR = .6, P = .01) after Haplo/PTCy transplantation, except for transplants that were from a female donor into a male recipient. In patients with cGvHD, irrespective of ATG use, Haplo/PTCy transplantation had lower non-relapse mortality rates (HR = .6, P = .04). Mortality rate was higher (HR = 1.6, P = .03) during, but not after (HR = .9, P = .6) the first 6 months after cGvHD diagnosis. Our results suggest that PTCy-based GvHD prophylaxis mitigates the development of GI GvHD and may translate into lower GvHD-related non-relapse mortality rate.

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
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) has a median age at diagnosis of 67 years. The most common curative therapy remains an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT), yet it is complicated by treatment-related mortality (TRM) and ongoing morbidity including graft versus host disease (GVHD) that may impact survival, particularly in older patients. We examined the outcomes and predictors of success in 1,321 patients aged 60 years and older receiving a HCT for AML in first complete remission (CR1) from 2007–2017 and reported to the CIBMTR. Outcomes were compared in three age cohorts (60–64; 65–69; 70+). With median follow-up of nearly 3 years, patients aged 60–64 had modestly, though significantly better OS, DFS and lower TRM than those either 65–69 or 70+; cohorts with similar outcomes. Three-year OS for the 3 cohorts was 49.4%, 42.3%, and 44.7% respectively (p=0.026). TRM was higher with increasing age, cord blood as graft source and HCT-CI score of ≥ 3. Conditioning intensity was not a significant predictor of OS in the 60–69 cohort with 3-year OS of 46% for RIC and 49% for MAC (p=0.38); MAC was rarely used over age 70. There was no difference in the relapse rate, incidence of Grade III/IV acute GVHD, or moderate-severe chronic GVHD across the age cohorts. After adjusting for other predictors, age had a small effect on OS and TRM. High-risk features including poor cytogenetics and measurable residual disease (MRD) prior to HCT were each significantly associated with relapse and accounted for most of the adverse impact on OS and DFS. Age did not influence the incidence of either acute or chronic GVHD; while graft type and associated GVHD prophylaxis were most important. These data suggest that age alone is not a barrier to successful HCT for AML in CR1 and should not exclude patients from HCT. Efforts should focus on minimizing residual disease and better donor selection.

Abstract
To successfully and efficiently initiate clinical research studies, it is critical to develop a strong, feasible, and well-written study protocol early in the start-up phase. The University of Minnesota's Clinical Research Support Center designed and implemented a structured Feasibility Review process in 2018 that addresses common start-up challenges such as poor study design, inappropriate outcomes, and limited resources. This process has been shown to turn an unfeasible study into a well-designed protocol that is IRB-approved with few protocol-related stipulations and well prepared for execution. It has also educated study teams on how to write better quality and more robust protocols for subsequent studies. Once a draft protocol is available, the entire process takes just six working days and is free of charge to investigators, study teams, and departments. From 2018-2021, one hundred sixteen Feasibility Reviews (n=116) have been completed across eight schools or colleges. Mean satisfaction scores for study team members who responded were high (N=126, M=4.71 ± 0.5) on a 5-point Likert-type scale. Most respondents (96%) indicated that they planned to modify their protocol based on reviewer feedback. Open ended/qualitative feedback was highly positive with most responses centered around the helpfulness of feasibility review, the high level of expertise, and fast turnaround time. The Feasibility Review is a valuable and multifunctional program providing timely expert guidance to study teams to efficiently and successfully launch and execute clinical research studies. It can be easily replicated, adapted, and implemented at other institutions to increase the quality and efficacy of academic research.

Abstract
Higher CD34 cell dose is associated with improved engraftment after peripheral blood allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT) but also may increase the risk of long-term complications, such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Prior studies examining the relationship between CD34 cell dose and long-term survival outcomes have yielded conflicting results. In this study, we sought to clarify the prognostic impact of CD34 cell dose by examining a large contemporary cohort of patients undergoing alloHCT with a matched sibling peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donor. We retrospectively examined the impact of CD34 cell dose on overall survival (OS), neutrophil engraftment, platelet engraftment, treatment-related mortality, relapse, acute GVHD grade II-IV and III-IV, and chronic GVHD in 377 consecutive patients undergoing alloHCT with a PBSC graft source from a matched sibling donor at the University of Minnesota between 2002 and 2015. The patients were classified into 3 groups based on the tertile (T) of CD34 cell dose received: T1, <5 × 106 cells/kg; T2, 5 to 7.5 × 106 cells/kg; and T3, ≥7.5 × 106 cells/kg. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that high CD34 cell dose was associated with superior 5-year OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.57; P = .01) and more rapid platelet engraftment (HR, 1.70; P < .01). Higher CD34 cell dose also was associated with improved absolute neutrophil count engraftment (T2: HR, 1.54; T3: HR, 1.52; P < .01). There was no association between CD34 cell dose and TRM or relapse at 5 years. Although higher CD34 cell dose was not associated with acute GVHD grade II-IV, it was associated with chronic GVHD (T2: HR, 1.68; T3: HR, 1.50; P = .04). Our data indicate that higher CD34 cell dose (>7.5 × 106/kg) is associated with superior OS at 5 years and improved engraftment but carries an increased risk of chronic GVHD. These data support a target CD34 cell dose goal of 7.5 × 106/kg for sibling PBSC graft donors.

Abstract
BackgroundTreatment for relapsed/refractory [r/r] AML and high risk MDS is dismal and NK cell infusions (with IL-2 or IL-15) after lymphodepleting chemotherapy can result in 30–40% remission. However, NK cells lack antigen specificity and require cytokine for expansion. We have developed a novel tri-specific molecule,1 termed GTB-3550 TriKE, comprised of IL-15 surrounded by two single chain variable fragments (scFvs), one against CD16 on NK cells and one against CD33 on blasts.MethodsSupported by pre-clinical data, adults with CD33+ malignancies (r/r AML or MDS) are eligible (NCT03214666). Correlative objectives include the number, phenotype (Flow and CyTOF), and function of NK cells before and after therapy.ResultsTwelve patients have completed therapy at doses of 5–150 mcg/kg/day without dose limiting toxicity. Out of the 11 with post treatment disease assessment, 3 patients had blasts cells decreases of 33, 61 and 63% at cohorts 25, 50, and 100 mcg/Kg/day, respectively. One patient (150 mcg/Kg/day) was found to have a multilineage leukemia with a significant population of CD19+/CD33- blasts not affected but demonstrated a 50% decrease of on-target CD19-/CD33+ blasts.Correlative studies show dose-dependent NK cell activity across cohorts, primarily by a robust expansion of NK cells without CD16 loss (figure 1A). Expansion is NK cell specific with preferential Ki-67 expression on NK cells at day 22 on study (figure 1B). Using IL-15 detection as a measure of GTB-3550 in serum, we find a short half-life as predicted with no evidence of drug accumulation (figure 1C). Despite rapid clearance, patient mononuclear cells without further activation demonstrate dose-dependent enhanced cytotoxicity against CD33+ HL-60 targets at days 8, 15, and 22 post initial treatment, 3 days after last drug (figure 1D). To better predict factors in responsiveness, responder and non-responder patient blood (d22) was incubated with IL-15 and HL-60 cells (no GTB-3550 added) and NK cell degranulation (CD107a) was measured (figure 1E). Results indicate that responders have higher degranulating than non-responders. To explore further, we carried out 42-antigen CyTOF analysis. Differential expression analysis (DEA) on mature NK cells (CD56+CD16+) at day 22 showed increased expression of the maturation marker CD57 and activation receptor NKG2D, while showing decreased expression of inhibitory KIR (figure 1F).Abstract 444 Figure 1Correlate studies outline potent, NK specific, activity of GTB-3550ConclusionsOur Phase I study demonstrates GTB-3550 TriKE safety, robust expansion of endogenous NK cells and a clinical signal of activity.

Abstract
Patients who develop therapy-related myeloid neoplasm, either myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) or acute myelogenous leukemia (t-AML), have a poor prognosis. An earlier Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) analysis of 868 allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantations (allo-HCTs) performed between 1990 and 2004 showed a 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of 22% and 21%, respectively. Modern supportive care, graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, and reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens have led to improved outcomes. Therefore, the CIBMTR analyzed 1531 allo-HCTs performed in adults with t-MDS (n = 759) or t-AML (n = 772) between and 2000 and 2014. The median age was 59 years (range, 18 to 74 years) for the patients with t-MDS and 52 years (range, 18 to 77 years) for those with t-AML. Twenty-four percent of patients with t-MDS and 11% of those with t-AML had undergone a previous autologous (auto-) HCT. A myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen was used in 49% of patients with t-MDS and 61% of patients with t-AML. Nonrelapse mortality at 5 years was 34% (95% confidence interval [CI], 30% to 37%) for patients with t-MDS and 34% (95% CI, 30% to 37%) for those with t-AML. Relapse rates at 5 years in the 2 groups were 46% (95% CI, 43% to 50%) and 43% (95% CI, 40% to 47%). Five-year OS and DFS were 27% (95% CI, 23% to 31%) and 19% (95% CI, 16% to 23%), respectively, for patients with t-MDS and 25% (95% CI, 22% to 28%) and 23% (95% CI, 20% to 26%), respectively, for those with t-AML. In multivariate analysis, OS and DFS were significantly better in young patients with low-risk t-MDS and those with t-AML undergoing HCT with MAC while in first complete remission, but worse for those with previous auto-HCT, higher-risk cytogenetics or Revised International Prognostic Scoring System score, and a partially matched unrelated donor. Relapse remains the major cause of treatment failure, with little improvement seen over the past 2 decades. These data mandate caution when recommending allo-HCT in these conditions and indicate the need for more effective antineoplastic approaches before and after allo-HCT.

Abstract
Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) generally require allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for a cure, except for patients with favorable genetic genotypes such as those with core-binding factor AML. However, the use of intensive chemotherapy followed by prompt HCT does not fully prevent relapse or refractory disease. Despite improvements in transplant techniques and management of complications, further improvement of HCT outcomes is urgently needed. Moreover, careful patient counseling, donor selection, and choice of transplant type are essential to maximize the benefits of early allografting. Maintenance after HCT focusing on selective immunomodulation combined with targeted immunotherapies that control persisting or relapsed hematologic malignancies is currently under active investigation. To improve the balance between GVHD, relapse, and infection, the use of purified blood stem cell grafts in conjunction with ex vivo expanded T-cells from stem cell donors targeting common infectious and leukemic antigens has been explored. T cells against infectious agents might also be generated using partially HLA-matched third-party T cells from cryopreserved cell banks, and a series of studies confirmed the clinical value of donor-derived CMV- and EBV-specific T cells. This approach has also been applied to acute leukemia, and trials using donor-derived cytotoxic T-cells targeting multiple leukemic antigens such as WT1, PRAME, survivin, and NY-ESO, as well as donor-derived CAR19 T-cells after allo-HCT, are currently underway.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients often undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in first complete remission (CR). We examined the effect of depth of clinical response, including incomplete count recovery (CRi) and/or measurable residual disease (MRD), in patients from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplantation Research (CIBMTR) registry. We identified 2492 adult patients (1799 CR and 693 CRi) who underwent alloHCT between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2015. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). Multivariable analysis was performed to adjust for patient-, disease-, and transplant-related factors. Baseline characteristics were similar. Patients in CRi compared to those in CR had an increased likelihood of death (HR: 1.27; 95% confidence interval: 1.13-1.43). Compared to CR, CRi was significantly associated with increased non-relapse mortality (NRM), shorter disease-free survival (DFS), and a trend toward increased relapse. Detectable MRD was associated with shorter OS, shorter DFS, higher NRM, and increased relapse compared to absence of MRD. The deleterious effects of CRi and MRD were independent. In this large CIBMTR cohort, survival outcomes differ among AML patients based on depth of CR and presence of MRD at the time of alloHCT. Further studies should focus on optimizing post-alloHCT outcomes for patients with responses less than CR.

Abstract
Prognostic factors associated with clinical outcomes of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement are unknown. We retrospectively studied the characteristics and outcomes of 66 (18 pediatric and 48 adult) patients with CNS leukemia with ALL (n = 41) or AML (n = 25). The median age of patients at diagnosis of CNS leukemia was 30 (range, 1-69) years. Nearly two-third patients had CNS involvement at the initial diagnosis of leukemia. Complete remission of CNS leukemia was attained in 58 (88%) patients, and probability of overall survival at 36 months after the diagnosis of CNS leukemia was 43% for the entire cohort. We identified that achieving remission of systemic leukemia and having CNS leukemia diagnosed and treated before allogeneic transplantation were the factors associated with CNS leukemia remission. Prognostic factors associated with better overall survival in patients with CNS leukemia included pediatric age, diagnosis of CNS leukemia before receiving allogenic transplantation, achieving clearance of systemic or CNS leukemia, receiving no cranial radiation in conjunction with intrathecal chemotherapy (IT), and receiving IT consolidation after achieving remission of CNS leukemia. Our findings show that patients with CNS leukemia are at considerable risk of mortality. Awareness of modifiable prognostic factors such as avoidance of cranial radiation whenever possible and use of IT consolidation can result in improved outcomes in subset of patients with CNS leukemia.

Abstract
Background In solid tumours, antibiotic use during immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment is associated with shorter survival. Following allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), antibiotic-induced gut microbiome alterations are associated with risk of relapse and mortality. These findings suggest that the gut microbiota can modulate antitumour immune response across tumour types, though it is not clear if the impact on outcomes is specific to immune therapy. An important limitation of previous studies is that the analysis combined all antibiotic exposures irrespective of the antibiotic spectrum of activity. Whether antibiotic exposure during induction chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) affects risk of relapse is also unknown. Patients and methods We performed a single-centred retrospective analysis of antibiotic exposures in metastatic/advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and renal cell cancer (RCC) receiving ICI and newly diagnosed AML patients receiving induction chemotherapy achieving a complete remission 1. Antibiotic use within 4 weeks before and 6 weeks after the ICI initiation were included. In AML patients, antibiotic exposures between days 1 and 28 of induction were collected. Antibiotics were a priori stratified based on spectrum of activity. Primary outcomes of interest were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) in NSCLC and RCC and relapse-free survival (RFS) in AML. Results 140 patients with NSCLC, 55 with RCC and 143 with AML were included. In multivariable analysis, PFS and OS were shorter in NSCLC patients who received broad-spectrum anti-anaerobes (PFS, HR=3.2, 95% CI 1.6 to 6.2, p<0.01; OS, HR=1.7, 95% CI 0.8 to 3.6, p=0.19) or ‘other’ antibiotics (vancomycin-predominant) (PFS, HR=2.4, 95% CI 1.3 to 4.6, p<0.01; OS, HR=2.4, 95% CI 1.2 to 4.7, p=0.01). In RCC, patients who received penicillins/penicillin-class/early-generation cephalosporins had shorter PFS (HR=3.6, 95% CI 1.7 to 7.6, p<0.01) but similar OS (p=0.37). In the AML cohort, none of the exposures were associated with RFS. Conclusion In contrast to AML, antibiotic exposures in solid tumours affected clinical outcomes. The presence of an allogeneic effect (allo-HCT) or an augmented immune system (checkpoint blockade) may be necessary for microbiota mediation of relapse risk.

Abstract
Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens developed to extend the use of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to older patients have resulted in encouraging outcomes. We aimed to compare the 2 most commonly used RIC regimens, i.v. fludarabine with busulfan (FluBu) and fludarabine with melphalan (FluMel), in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Through the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR), we identified 1045 MDS patients age ≥60 years who underwent first HSCT with a matched related or matched (8/8) unrelated donor using an RIC regimen. The CIBMTR's definition of RIC was used: a regimen that incorporated an i.v. busulfan total dose ≤7.2 mg/kg or a low-dose melphalan total dose ≤150 mg/m2. The 2 groups, recipients of FluBu (n = 697) and recipients of FluMel (n = 448), were comparable in terms of disease- and transplantation-related characteristics except for the more frequent use of antithymocyte globulin or alemtuzumab in the FluBu group (39% versus 31%). The median age was 67 years in both groups. FluMel was associated with a reduced relapse incidence (RI) compared with FluBu, with a 1-year adjusted incidence of 26% versus 44% (P ≤ .0001). Transplantation-related mortality (TRM) was higher in the FluMel group (26% versus 16%; P ≤ .0001). Because the magnitude of improvement with FluMel in RI was greater than the improvement in TRM with FluBu, disease-free survival (DFS) was better at 1 year and beyond with FluMel compared with FluBu (48% versus 40% at 1 year [P = .02] and 35% versus 27% at 3 years [P = .01]). Overall survival (OS) was comparable in the 2 groups at 1 year (63% versus 61%; P = .4) but was significantly improved with FluMel compared with FluBu at 3 years (46% versus 39%; P = .03). Our results suggest that FluMel is associated with superior DFS compared with FluBu owing to reduced RI in older patients with MDS patients. © 2021 American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

Abstract
The Worldwide Network of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) pursues the mission of promoting hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for instance by evaluating activities through member societies, national registries and individual centers. In 2016, 82,718 first HCTs were reported from 1662 HCT teams in 86 of the 195 World Health Organization member states representing a global increase of 6.2% in autologous and 7.0% in allogeneic HCT and bringing the total to 1,298,897 procedures. Assuming a frequency of 84,000/year, 1.5 million HCTs had been performed by 2019 from 1957. Slightly more autologous (53.5%) than allogeneic and more related (53.6%) than unrelated HCTs were reported. A remarkable increase was noted in haploidentical related HCT for leukemias and lymphoproliferative diseases, but even more in non-malignant diseases. Transplant rates (TR; HCT/10 million population) varied according to region reaching 560.8 in North America, 438.5 in Europe, 76.7 in Latin America, 53.6 in South East Asia/Western Pacific (SEA/WPR) and 27.8 in African/East Mediterranean (AFR/EMR). Interestingly, haploidentical TR amounted to 32% in SEA/WPR and 26% in Latin America, but only 14% in Europe and EMR and 4.9% in North America of all allogeneic HCT. HCT team density (teams/10 million population) was highest in Europe (7.7) followed by North America (6.0), SEA/WPR (1.9), Latin America (1.6) and AFR/EMR (0.4). HCTs are increasing steadily worldwide with narrowing gaps between regions and greater increase in allogeneic compared to autologous activity. While related HCT is rising, largely due to increase in haploidentical HCT, unrelated is plateauing and cord blood in decline.

Abstract
The Worldwide Network of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) pursues the mission of promoting hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for instance by evaluating activities through member societies, national registries and individual centers. In 2016, 82,718 first HCT were reported by 1,662 HCT teams in 86 of the 195 World Health Organization member states representing a global increase of 6.2% in autologous HCT and 7.0% in allogeneic HCT and bringing the total to 1,298,897 procedures. Assuming a frequency of 84,000/year, 1.5 million HCT were performed by 2019 since 1957. Slightly more autologous (53.5%) than allogeneic and more related (53.6%) than unrelated HCT were reported. A remarkable increase was noted in haploidentical related HCT for leukemias and lymphoproliferative diseases, but even more in non-malignant diseases. Transplant rates (TR; HCT/10 million population) varied according to region reaching 560.8 in North America, 438.5 in Europe, 76.7 in Latin America, 53.6 in South East Asia/Western Pacific (SEA/WPR) and 27.8 in African/East Mediterranean (AFR/EMR). Interestingly, haploidentical TR amounted to 32% in SEA/WPR and 26% in Latin America, but only 14% in Europe and EMR and 4.9% in North America of all allogeneic HCT. HCT team density (teams/10 million population) was highest in Europe (7.7) followed by North America (6.0), SEA/WPR (1.9), Latin America (1.6) and AFR/EMR (0.4). HCT are increasing steadily worldwide with narrowing gaps between regions and greater increase in allogeneic compared to autologous activity. While related HCT is rising, largely due to increase in haploidentical HCT, unrelated HCT is plateauing and cord blood HCT is in decline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The first FDA-approved biosimilar was launched in 2015: filgrastim-sndz (Zarxio), a biosimilar for the reference drug filgrastim (Neupogen). Filgrastim is a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor used to prevent and treat neutropenia. In this study, we examined the association between site of care and drug cost across reference filgrastim, tbo-filgrastim (Granix; a version of filgrastim approved as a biosimilar in Europe and as a new drug in the United States), and biosimilar filgrastim administrations among the commercially insured. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study using administrative claims data. METHODS We used OptumLabs Data Warehouse to identify the site of care of each short-acting filgrastim administration among commercial enrollees between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2019. RESULTS For each filgrastim product, model-adjusted median drug costs were higher in the outpatient hospital setting than for the same drug administered in the office setting. Comparing drug costs within the same setting, in the office setting, costs of biosimilar and tbo-filgrastim were $103.61 and $94.07 lower than reference filgrastim, respectively (P < .001 for each comparison). In the outpatient hospital setting, adjusted median costs for tbo-filgrastim were lower than those for reference filgrastim (-$132.90; P < .001), but adjusted median costs of the biosimilar were slightly higher ($20.50; P = .025). CONCLUSIONS Although previous work has found lower costs for biosimilar filgrastim compared with reference filgrastim, here we found that site of care can change this calculus, reducing savings. After adjusting for patient characteristics and geography, we found that drug cost savings for biosimilar filgrastim were limited to the office setting, with no savings in the outpatient hospital setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is the most serious non-relapse complication affecting long-term allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) survivors. We describe healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs in patients with steroid-resistant (SR) cGVHD versus no GVHD up to 360 and 720 days post-HCT. METHODS Claims from the Optum Research Database were used to identify patients aged ≥12 years who underwent allogeneic HCT (index date) in the United States from 01 January 2010 to 31 August 2016 with diagnosis of cGVHD (within the study period or unspecified GVHD beyond 120 days post-HCT [SR defined as additional therapy ≥7 days after initiation of systemic steroids]) or no GVHD at any time. All-cause HCRU and costs were compared in patients with SR cGVHD (1-year analysis, n = 296; 2-year analysis, n = 178) versus no GVHD (1-year analysis, n = 227; 2-year analysis, n = 158). RESULTS Most patients with SR cGVHD (75%) received ≥4 lines of therapy during follow-up. Patients with SR cGVHD had significantly more median office visits (49 vs. 27), outpatient visits (69 vs. 24), emergency department visits (1 vs. 0), and inpatient admissions (2 vs. 1) within 1 year post-HCT versus patients with no GVHD (all p<.001); HCRU was also higher in the 2-year period. Median total all-cause costs were significantly higher (p<.001) for patients with SR cGVHD versus no GVHD in the 1-year ($372,254 vs. $219,593) and 2-year ($532,673 vs. $252,909) follow-up periods. CONCLUSIONS Patients with SR cGVHD required multiple lines of therapy and used significantly more outpatient and inpatient resources resulting in higher costs versus patients with no GVHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transfusions are essential for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), yet they are influenced by graft, donor, and other factors. STUDY DESIGN We analyzed transfusions in 165 adult reduced intensity HCTs (2016-2019): HLA matched sibling donor (MSD) (n = 59), matched URD (n = 25), UCB (n = 33), and haploidentical (haplo, n = 48) detailing the cumulative incidence of platelet and RBC transfusion independence, total transfusions (day-10 to day+100) plus transfusion densities (per week) over 110 days. RESULTS Platelet recovery to 20 × 109 /L by 6 months occurred in 39/48 (81.25%) haplo recipients (median 33 [range, 0-139]) days vs. 58/59 (98.3%) MSD (median 10 [0-37]), 21/25 (84%) matched URD (median 20 [0-153]), and 29/33 (87.87%) UCB (median 48 [29-166]) days, p < .01. Regression analysis demonstrated a lower likelihood of prompt platelet recovery in matched URD, UCB, or haplo HCTs vs. MSD. Recovery to platelet independence was quickest in MSD (median 8 days [range 0-94]), vs. URD (median 16 days [0-99]), UCB (median 57 [0-94]), or haplo (median 45 [12-97]) days, p < .01. Platelet needs were unaffected by age, conditioning, or acute GVHD. RBC transfusion independence was achieved in 78% of MSD, 64% URD, and 82% UCB, though less frequent (58%) and slowest in haplo recipients, p < .01. All haplo and UCB recipients required platelet transfusions vs. only 51% of MSD and 76% of URD. RBC needs were highest in UCB and haplo HCTs. DISCUSSION The transplant donor influences the transfusion burden with greater platelet and RBC needs in haplo and UCB HCT which directly contributes to increased cost of care.

Abstract
Following the 2017 European LeukemiaNet (ELN) guidelines, we changed our practice from using high-dose cytarabine (HIDAC-3 g/m2 q12h-D1,3,5) to intermediate-dose cytarabine (IDAC-1·5 g/m2 q12h-D1,3,5/D1-3) for consolidation in young(<60 years) favourable-risk acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients. We assessed the clinical impact of this practice change. Of 80 patients, 51 received HIDAC prior to the protocol change, and subsequently, 29 received IDAC. The three-year risk of relapse was significantly higher with IDAC [61%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 40-82] compared with HIDAC (22%; 10-34), P < 0·01. Our findings suggest HIDAC, rather than IDAC, is the preferred dose for single-agent cytarabine consolidation in young, favourable-risk AML following 7+3 induction.

Abstract
Allogeneic transplantation remains the most definitive curative option for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, given the median age of diagnosis of AML in the late 60s, patients and clinicians have been reluctant to offer transplant to many in the older population. In this age group, AML presents with higher risk molecular and cytogenetic phenotype and patients' comorbidities, performance status, frailty and life views all impact the decision-making about whether to proceed with transplantation. Recent analyses suggest promising outcomes and thus acknowledgement of chronological age should be tempered with assessments of performance status, frailty, donor availability and careful balancing of a patient's wishes, life goals and understanding of the risks before restricting access of older patients to the curative potential of allotransplantation.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 has spread rapidly worldwide, but the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the field of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains unknown. To understand this better, an 18-item online survey was disseminated by the Worldwide Network for Blood & Marrow Transplantation with questions exploring SARS-CoV-2 testing algorithms, mobilization, and cryopreservation strategies and COVID-19 infections in allogeneic related and autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) donors. The aim of this survey was to assess the impact of the outbreak on policies relating to HPC mobilization, collection, and processing with respect to changes in daily routine. A total of 91 individual responses from distinct centers in 6 continents were available for analysis. In these centers, the majority (72%) of allogeneic related and autologous donors are routinely tested for SARS-CoV-2 before HPC collection, and 80% of centers implement cryopreservation of allogeneic HPC grafts before commencing conditioning regimens in patients. Five related and 14 autologous donors who tested positive for COVID-19 did not experience any unexpected adverse events or reactions during growth factor administration (eg, hyperinflammatory syndrome). These data are limited by the small number of survey respondents but nonetheless suggest that centers are following the recommendations of appropriate scientific organizations and provide some preliminary data to suggest areas of further study.

Abstract
Importance In 2010, the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) indicated that data regarding efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) in the CMS beneficiary population with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) were currently insufficient, but that coverage would be provided for patients enrolled in a clinical study that met its criteria for Coverage with Evidence Development (CED). Objective The Center for International Bone Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) submitted a study concept comparing the outcomes of patients aged 55 to 64 years vs aged 65 years or older who met those criteria, effectively providing coverage by CMS for HCT for MDS. Design, Setting, and Participants Data on patients aged 65 years or older were prospectively collected and their outcomes compared with patients aged 55 to 64 years. Patients were enrolled in the study from December 15, 2010, to May 14, 2014. The results reported herein were analyzed as of September 4, 2017, with a median follow-up of 47 months. The study was conducted by the CIBMTR. It comprises a voluntary working group of more than 420 centers worldwide that contribute detailed data on allogeneic and autologous HCT and cellular therapies. Interventions Patients with MDS received HCT according to institutional guidelines and preferences. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was overall survival (OS); secondary outcomes included nonrelapse mortality (NRM), relapse-free survival, and acute and chronic graft vs host disease. Results During the study period, 688 patients aged 65 years or older underwent HCT for MDS and were compared with 592 patients aged 55 to 64 years. Other than age, there were no differences in patient and disease characteristics between the groups. On univariate analysis, the 3-year NRM rate was 28% vs 25% for the 65 years or older group vs those aged 55 to 64 years, respectively. The 3-year OS was 37% vs 42% for the 65 years or older group vs the 55 to 64 years age group, respectively. On multivariable analysis after adjusting for excess risk of mortality in the older group, age group had no significant association with OS (HR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.94-1.27; P = .23) or NRM (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.93-1.52; P = .16). Conclusions and Relevance Older patients with MDS undergoing HCT have similar OS compared with younger patients. Based on current data, we would recommend coverage of HCT for MDS by the CMS. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01166009.

Abstract
Establishing a hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) program is complex. Planning is essential while establishing such a program to overcome the expected challenges. Authorities involved in HCT program establishment will need to coordinate the efforts between the different departments required to start up the program. One essential department is pharmacy and the medications required. To help facilitate this, the Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation organized a structured survey to address the essential medications required to start up an HCT program. A group of senior physicians and pharmacists prepared a list of the medications used at the different phases of transplantation. These drugs were then rated by a questionnaire using a scale of necessity based on the stage of development of the transplant program. The questionnaire was sent to 30 physicians, in different parts of the world, who have between 5 and 40 years of experience in autologous and/or allogeneic transplantation. This group of experts scored each medication on a 7-point scale, ranging from an absolute requirement (score of 1) to not required (score of 7). The results are presented here to help guide the prioritization of required medications.

Abstract
Regimen-related toxicities with high-dose therapy followed by hematopoietic cell rescue leads to considerable patient distress, morbidity, and high readmission rates. Palifermin is a recombinant keratinocyte growth factor that is Food and Drug Administration-approved to decrease severe oral mucositis (OM) associated with autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (ASCT) for hematologic malignancies. We added palifermin as a supportive care measure for patients with lymphoma undergoing ASCT with BEAM conditioning. We compared patients receiving palifermin (n = 35) with historical controls (n = 38) for toxicity and readmission outcomes. The cumulative incidence of OM of any grade was 23% in the palifermin-treated patients and 42% in the control group. Patients receiving palifermin were less likely to be readmitted (57% versus 82%; P = .04), had fewer hospital readmission days (median, 4 days versus 7 days; P < .01), and had fewer total days in the hospital through day +30 after ASCT (median, 12 days versus 15 days; P = .05). Fewer patients in the palifermin group had >20 days in the hospital through day +30 (9% in the palifermin group versus 23% of controls). Adverse events associated with palifermin were mild and transient. The addition of palifermin limits severe regimen-related toxicities and decreases readmissions and duration of hospital stay. This and other measures are needed to identify comprehensive and cost-effective approaches, possibly including palifermin, to prevent severe regimen-related toxicities and decrease health care resource utilization.

Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has impacted many facets of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in both developed and developing countries. Realizing the challenges as a result of this pandemic affecting the daily practice of the HCT centers and the recognition of the variability in practice worldwide, the Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) and the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research's (CIBMTR) Health Services and International Studies Committee have jointly produced an expert opinion statement as a general guide to deal with certain aspects of HCT, including diagnostics for SARS-CoV-2 in HCT recipient, pre- and post-HCT management, donor issues, medical tourism, and facilities management. During these crucial times, which may last for months or years, the HCT community must reorganize to proceed with transplantation activity in those patients who urgently require it, albeit with extreme caution. This shared knowledge may be of value to the HCT community in the absence of high-quality evidence-based medicine. © 2020 American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

Abstract
In 2015 the Food and Drug Administration approved filgrastim-sndz (Zarxio), the first US biosimilar. Following rapid uptake, by March 2018 filgrastim-sndz accounted for 47 percent of filgrastim administrations among commercially insured and 42 percent among Medicare Advantage beneficiaries. The initial cost difference between the originator and biosimilar was 31 percent in the former population but negligible in the latter.
