Project description:A toxicity-reduced conditioning regimen with treosulfan, fludarabine, and thiotepa in patients with high-risk β-thalassemia major has significantly improved hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes. However, complications resulting from regimen-related toxicities (RRTs), mixed chimerism, and graft rejection remain a challenge. We evaluated the dose-exposure-response relationship of treosulfan and its active metabolite S, S-EBDM, in a uniform cohort of patients with β-thalassemia major to identify whether therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and dose adjustment of treosulfan is feasible. Plasma treosulfan/S, S-EBDM levels were measured in 77 patients using a validated liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method, and the pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using nlmixr2. The influence of treosulfan and S, S-EBDM exposure, and GSTA1/NQO1 polymorphisms on graft rejection, RRTs, chimerism status, and 1-year overall survival (OS), and thalassemia-free survival (TFS) were assessed. We observed that treosulfan exposure was lower in patients with graft rejection than those without (1,655 vs. 2,037 mg•h/L, P = 0.07). Pharmacodynamic modeling analysis to identify therapeutic cutoff revealed that treosulfan exposure ≥1,660 mg•hour/L was significantly associated with better 1-year TFS (97% vs. 81%, P = 0.02) and a trend to better 1-year OS (90% vs. 69%, P = 0.07). Further, multivariate analysis adjusting for known pre-HCT risk factors also revealed treosulfan exposure <1,660 mg•h/L (hazard ratio (HR) = 3.23; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.12-9.34; P = 0.03) and GSTA1*B variant genotype (HR = 3.75; 95% CI = 1.04-13.47; P = 0.04) to be independent predictors for inferior 1-year TFS. We conclude that lower treosulfan exposure increases the risk of graft rejection and early transplant-related mortality affecting TFS. As no RRTs were observed with increasing treosulfan exposure, TDM-based dose adjustment could be feasible and beneficial.

Project description:PurposeAllogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is curative but is associated with life-threatening complications. Most deaths occur within the first 2 years after transplantation. In this report, we examine long-term survival in 2-year survivors in the largest cohort ever studied.Patients and methodsRecords of 10,632 patients worldwide reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research who were alive and disease free 2 years after receiving a myeloablative allogeneic HCT before 2004 for acute myelogenous or lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, lymphoma, or severe aplastic anemia were reviewed.ResultsMedian follow-up was 9 years, and 3,788 patients had been observed for 10 or more years. The probability of being alive 10 years after HCT was 85%. The chief risk factors for late death included older age and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). For patients who underwent transplantation for malignancy, relapse was the most common cause of death. The greatest risk factor for late relapse was advanced disease at transplantation. Principal risk factors for nonrelapse deaths were older age and GVHD. When compared with age, sex, and nationality-matched general population, late deaths remained higher than expected for each disease, with the possible exception of lymphoma, although the relative risk generally receded over time.ConclusionThe prospect for long-term survival is excellent for 2-year survivors of allogeneic HCT. However, life expectancy remains lower than expected. Performance of HCT earlier in the course of disease, control of GVHD, enhancement of immune reconstitution, less toxic regimens, and prevention and early treatment of late complications are needed.

Project description:Transplant and patient survival are the validated endpoints to assess the success of liver transplantation (LT). This study evaluates arterial and biliary complication-free survival (ABCFS) as a new metric. ABC, considered as an event, was an arterial or biliary complication of Dindo-Clavien grade ≥III complication dated at the interventional, endoscopic, or surgical treatment required to correct it. ABCFS was defined as the time from the date of LT to the dates of first ABC, death, relisting, or last follow-up (transplant survival is time from LT to repeat LT or death). Following primary whole LT (n = 532), 106 ABCs occurred and 99 (93%) occurred during the first year after LT. An ABC occurring during the first year after LT (overall rate 19%) was an independent factor associated with transplant survival (hazard ratio [HR], 3.17; P < 0.001) and patient survival (HR, 2.7; P = 0.002) in univariate and multivariate analyses. This result was confirmed after extension of the cohort to split-liver graft, donation after circulatory death, or re-LT (n = 658). Data from 2 external cohorts of primary whole LTs (n = 249 and 229, respectively) confirmed that the first-year ABC was an independent prognostic factor for transplant survival but not for patient survival. ABCFS was correlated with transplant and patient survival (ρ = 0.85 [95% CI, 0.78-0.90] and 0.81 [95% CI, 0.71-0.88], respectively). Preoperative factors known to influence 5-year transplant survival influenced ABCFS after 1 year of follow-up. The 1-year ABCFS was indicative of 5-year transplant survival. ABCFS is a reproducible metric to evaluate the results of LT after 1 year of follow-up and could serve as a new endpoint in clinical trials.

Project description:Major hemoglobinopathies place tremendous strain on global resources. Intrauterine hemopoietic cell transplantation (IUHCT) and gene transfer (IUGT) can potentially reduce perinatal morbidities with greater efficacy than postnatal therapy alone. We performed both procedures in the thalassemic HbbTh3/+ mouse. Intraperitoneal delivery of co-isogenic cells at embryonic days13-14 produced dose-dependent chimerism. High-dose adult bone marrow (BM) cells maintained 0.2-3.1% chimerism over ~24 weeks and treated heterozygotes (HET) demonstrated higher chimerism than wild-type (WT) pups (1.6% vs. 0.7%). Fetalliver (FL) cells produced higher chimerism than BM when transplanted at thesame doses, maintaining 1.8-2.4% chimerism over ~32 weeks. We boosted transplanted mice postnatally with BM cells after busulfan conditioning. Engraftment was maintained at >1% only in chimeras. IUHCT-treated nonchimeras and non-IUHCT mice showed microchimerism or no chimerism. Improved engraftment was observed with a higher initial chimerism, in HET mice and with the addition of fludarabine. Chimeric HET mice expressed 2.2-15.1% engraftment with eventual decline at 24 weeks (vs. <1% in nonchimeras) and demonstrated improved hematological indices and smaller spleens compared with untreated HETmice. Intravenous delivery of GLOBE lentiviral-vector expressing human β-globin (HBB) resulted in a vector concentration of 0.001-0.6 copies/cell. Most hematological indices were higher in treated than untreated HET mice, including hemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume, but were still lower than in WT. Therefore, direct IUGT and IUHCT strategies can be used to achieve hematological improvement but require further dose optimization. IUHCT will be useful combined with postnatal transplantation to further enhance engraftment.

Project description:The long-term impact of Autologous hematopietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) on renal function, and the impact of renal function on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with multiple myeloma are not known. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 885 patients at our institution. We used linear mixed effect models to study the change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and a joint model approach to assess associations between the eGFR, PFS and OS. Sensitivity analyses were conducted at days 0, 100, 180, and 365 post-SCT. eGFR post-ASCT was significantly lower than at day 0 but stabilized at approximately 80 mL/min/1.73 m2. There was no association between eGFR and PFS or OS.; However, relapsed disease and ISS stage were associated with shorter PFS and OS. This data suggests that although there is a modest decline in eGFR post-ASCT, it is not associated with an adverse impact on PFS or OS. KEY POINTS Advanced MM stage at diagnosis was associated with reduced eGFR at all stages of chronic kidney disease. eGFR was not associated with PFS or OS in any of the analyses, but disease-related factors prior to ASCT were all associated with reduced eGFR, PFS and OS. ASCT did not adversely impact kidney function and mitigated the risk of CKD on outcomes in MM.

Project description:BackgroundAllo-HSCT is a curative therapy for patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). The high incidence of transplant-related complications is becoming an obstacle to safe and effective unrelated donor (URD) transplantation.MethodsIn this retrospective study, we reported the survival outcomes and complications of transplantation in thalassemia patients using a novel regimen consisting of pre-transplantation immunosuppression (PTIS) and modified myeloablative conditioning based on intravenous busulfan, cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin.ResultsA total of 88 thalassemia patients received the novel conditioning regimen (NCR group), while 118 patients received the conventional conditioning regimen (CCR group). The median age at HSCT in the NCR group was older (7 years vs. 4 years, p < 0.05). No patient in the NCR group experienced primary graft failure, while the 3-year probabilities of OS and TFS were 96.6% and 93.2%, respectively. Even when the intensity of conditioning was reduced, OS (94.8% vs. 94.3%, p = 0.848) and TFS (89.8% vs. 92.5%, p = 0.663) in URD transplants in the NCR group were comparable to those in the CCR group, while the risk of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) (0% vs. 15.1%) was lower. In addition, the NCR group had lower rates of mixed chimerism (7.1%).ConclusionsURD transplantation can achieve a comparable prognosis to matched sibling donor (MSD) transplantation with a lower incidence of AIHA due to PTIS and modified myeloablative conditioning regimen.

Project description:Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is standard therapy for patients with chemosensitive, relapsed, diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We performed a retrospective cohort study to delineate subsequent (conditional) and relative survival in 371 adult patients with DLBCL who underwent AHCT between 2000 and 2014 and had survived for 1, 2, 3, or 5 years after transplant. The probability of overall survival at 10 years after AHCT was 62%, 71%, 77%, and 86%, respectively, for the 4 cohorts, whereas that of progression-free survival (PFS) was 55%, 65%, 72%, and 81%, respectively. The respective cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at 10 years after transplantation was 13%, 12%, 11%, and 8%, respectively. In multivariable analysis, older age was associated with greater mortality risk among all but 5-year survivors; relapse within the landmark time was associated with greater mortality risk in all groups. Older age and relapse within the landmark time were associated with worse PFS in all groups. Standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was significantly higher than an age-, gender-, and race-matched general population, with the magnitude of SMR decreasing as the landmark time increased (4.0 for 1-year, 3.0 for 2-year, 2.4 for 3-year, and 1.8 for 5-year survivors). Our study provides information on long-term survival and prognosis that will assist in counseling patients with DLBCL who have received AHCT. Survival improves with longer time in remission post-transplant, although patients continue to remain at risk for NRM, underscoring the need for continued vigilance and prevention of late complications.

Project description:BACKGROUND Kidney transplant recipients have higher life expectancy but may require subsequent transplantations, raising ethical concerns regarding organ allocation. We assessed the safety of multiple kidney transplants through long-term follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single center, categorizing patients based on the number of kidney transplantations received. The primary outcome was the composite of death-censored graft failure and overall mortality. The secondary outcome was death-censored graft failure. RESULTS Between 2000 and 2019, our center performed 2152 kidney transplantations. Patients were divided into 3 groups: A (1 transplant; n=1850), B (2 transplants; n=285), and C (3 or more transplants; n=75). Group C patients were younger, had fewer comorbidities, and received more aggressive induction therapy. The primary outcomes, including death-censored graft loss and overall mortality, showed similar rates across groups (A: 21.3%, B: 25.2%, C: 21.7%, p=0.068). However, the secondary outcome of death-censored graft failure alone was significantly lower in group A compared to the other groups. No significant difference was observed between groups B and C (8% vs 16% and 13%, respectively, p=0.001, p=0.845). Multivariate analysis identified having a living donor as the strongest predictor of patient and graft survival in all study groups. CONCLUSIONS Graft and patient survival rates were similar between first and multiple transplant recipients. Multiple transplant recipients had lower death-censored graft failure risk compared to first transplant recipients. However, the risk did not differ among second and subsequent transplant recipients. Younger patients, especially those with a living donor, should be considered for repeat kidney transplantation.

Project description:We compared postrelapse overall survival (OS) after autologous/allogeneic (auto/allo) versus tandem autologous (auto/auto) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Postrelapse survival of patients receiving an auto/auto or auto/allo HCT for MM and prospectively reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research between 2000 and 2010 were analyzed. Relapse occurred in 404 patients (72.4%) in the auto/auto group and in 178 patients (67.4%) in the auto/allo group after a median follow-up of 8.5 years. Relapse occurred before 6 months after a second HCT in 46% of the auto/allo patients, compared with 26% of the auto/auto patients. The 6-year postrelapse survival was better in the auto/allo group compared with the auto/auto group (44% versus 35%; P = .05). Mortality due to MM was 69% (n = 101) in the auto/allo group and 83% (n = 229) deaths in auto/auto group. In multivariate analysis, both cohorts had a similar risk of death in the first year after relapse (hazard ratio [HR], .72; P = .12); however, for time points beyond 12 months after relapse, overall survival was superior in the auto/allo cohort (HR for death in auto/auto =1.55; P = .005). Other factors associated with superior survival were enrollment in a clinical trial for HCT, male sex, and use of novel agents at induction before HCT. Our findings shown superior survival afterrelapse in auto/allo HCT recipients compared with auto/auto HCT recipients. This likely reflects a better response to salvage therapy, such as immunomodulatory drugs, potentiated by a donor-derived immunologic milieu. Further augmentation of the post-allo-HCT immune system with new immunotherapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, and others, merit investigation.
