Pilot Study of Donor-Engrafted Clonal Hematopoiesis Evolution and Clinical Outcomes in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Recipients Using a National Registry.

ABSTRACT: Improved treatment options, such as reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC), enable older patients to receive potentially curative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). This progress has led to increased use of older HLA-matched sibling donors. An unintended potential risk associated with older donors is transplantation of donor cells with clonal hematopoiesis (CH) into patients. We aimed to determine the prevalence of CH in older HLA-matched sibling donors pretransplantation and to assess the clinical impact of donor-engrafted CH on HCT outcomes. This was an observational study using donor peripheral blood samples from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research repository, linked with corresponding recipient outcomes. To explore engraftment efficiency an
