Donor-Derived Leukemia in a Recipient of Double-Unit Cord Blood Transplantation for Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Case Study and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of donor-derived leukemia (DDL) occurring 34 months after double-unit cord blood transplantation (CBT). Molecular analysis using short tandem repeat (STR) sequences proved the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to be of dominant cord blood origin. Karyotype was normal and molecular analysis showed WT1 and EVI1 overexpression. Cytological and molecular remission were achieved with only induction and consolidation chemotherapy. Relapse occurred after 6 years of remission from one clone with only WT1 overexpression. Potential etiologies for donor cell leukemogenesis in the recipient are discussed, including occult leukemia in the donor or genetic predisposition to hematologic malignancies, impaired immune surveillance, induced or inherited stromal abnormalities, transformation of donor cells during engraftment via altered signals of the host tissues, and fusion of donor cells with residual leukemic cells leading to acquisition of oncogenes. Although cases of DDL occurring after umbilical CBT have already been reported, very few cases have been described arising after double-unit CBT. DDL cases following CBT previously described in the literature have been reviewed.

Project description:BackgroundAllogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) using a mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) and cord blood transplantation (CBT) are valid alternatives for patients without a fully human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donor. Here, we compared the allo-HCT outcomes of CBT versus single-allele-mismatched MMUD allo-HCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in acute myeloid leukemia.MethodsPatients who underwent a first CBT without PTCy (N = 902) or allo-HCT from a (HLA 9/10) MMUD with PTCy (N = 280) were included in the study. A multivariate regression analysis was performed for the whole population. A matched-pair analysis was carried out by propensity score-based 1:1 matching of patients (177 pairs) with known cytogenetic risk.ResultsThe incidence of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) at 6 months was 36% versus 32% (p = 0.07) and 15% versus 11% (p = 0.16) for CBT and MMUD cohorts, respectively. CBT was associated with a higher incidence of graft failure (11% vs. 4%, p < 0.01) and higher 2-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) (30% vs. 16%, p < 0.01) compared to MMUD. In the multivariate analysis, CBT was associated with a higher risk of, NRM (HR = 2.09, 95% CI 1.46-2.99, p < 0.0001), and relapse (HR = 1.35, 95% CI 1-1.83, p = 0.05), which resulted in worse leukemia-free survival (LFS) (HR = 1.68, 95% CI 1.34-2.12, p < 0.0001), overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.7, 95% CI 1.33-2.17, p < 0.0001), and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) (HR = 1.49, 95% CI 1.21-1.83, p < 0.0001) compared to MMUD. The risk of grade II-IV acute GVHD (p = 0.052) and chronic GVHD (p = 0.69) did not differ significantly between the cohorts. These results were confirmed in a matched-pair analysis.ConclusionsCBT was associated with lower LFS, OS, and GRFS due to higher NRM, compared to MMUD allo-HCT with PTCy. In the absence of a fully matched donor, 9/10 MMUD with PTCy may be preferred over CBT.
