We compared the outcomes of haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in 719 patients with primary refractory (PR) or first relapse (Rel) secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML; n = 129) vs those with de novo AML (n = 590), who received HSCT between 2010 and 2022. A higher percentage of patients with sAML vs de novo AML had PR disease (73.6% vs 58.6%; P = .002). In 81.4% of patients with sAML , the antecedent hematological disorder was myelodysplastic syndrome. Engraftment was 83.5% vs 88.4% in sAML and de novo AML, respectively (P = .13). In multivariate analysis, haplo-HSCT outcomes did not differ significantly between the groups: nonrelapse mortality hazard ratio (HR), 1.38 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.96-1.98; P = .083), relapse incidence HR, 0.68 (95% CI, 0.4.7.-1.00; P = .051). The HRs for leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free, and GVHD and relapse-free survival were 0.99 (95% CI, 0.76-1.28; P = .94), 0.99 (95% CI, 0.77-1.29; P = .97), and 0.99 (95% CI, 0.77-1.27; P = .94), respectively. We conclude that outcomes of haplo-HSCT with PTCy are not different for PR/Rel sAML in comparison with PR/Rel de novo AML, a finding of major clinical importance.

We compared relapse incidence (RI) post-unrelated transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) versus no PTCy graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, in 7049 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in remission, 707 with PTCy, and 6342 without (No PTCy). The patients in the PTCy group were younger, 52.7 versus 56.6 years (p < .001). There were more 9/10 donors in the PTCy group, 33.8% versus 16.4% (p < .001), and more received myeloablative conditioning, 61.7% versus 50.2% (p < .001). In the No PTCy group, 87.7% of patients received in vivo T-cell depletion. Neutrophil and platelet engraftment were lower in the PTCy versus No PTCy group, 93.8% and 80.9% versus 97.6% and 92.6% (p < .001). RI was not significantly different in the PTCy versus the No PTCy group, hazard ratio (HR) of 1.11 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.9-1.37) (p = .31). Acute GVHD grades II-IV and III-IV, were significantly lower in the PTCy versus the No PTCy group, HR of 0.74 (95% CI 0.59-0.92, p = .007) and HR = 0.56 (95% CI 0.38-0.83, p = .004), as were total and extensive chronic GVHD, HRs of 0.5 (95% CI 0.41-0.62, p < .001) and HR = 0.31 (95% CI 0.22-0.42, p < .001). Non-relapse mortality (NRM) was significantly lower with PTCy versus the No PTCy group, HR of 0.67 (95% CI 0.5-0.91, p = .007). GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) was higher in the PTCy versus the No PTCy group, HR of 0.69 (95% CI 0.59-0.81, p = .001). Leukemia-free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS) did not differ between the groups. In summary, we observed comparable RI, OS, and LFS, significantly lower incidences of GVHD and NRM, and significantly higher GRFS in AML patients undergoing unrelated donor-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with PTCy versus No PTCy GVHD prophylaxis.

Baseline cytogenetics and disease status are key factors predicting the outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The importance of cytogenetic risk in patients with primary refractory or relapsed (R/R) AML undergoing haploidentical (Haplo) HCT is unknown. We studied the impact of cytogenetic risk in patients with R/R de novo AML with active disease who underwent non-T-cell-depleted Haplo-HCT with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide from 2010 to 2020. Four hundred forty patients with active disease at transplantation from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation database were analyzed (291 [66.1%] with intermediate-risk [AMLint] and 149 [44.1%] with adverse-risk cytogenetics [AMLadv]). Impact of baseline cytogenetic risk on various transplantation outcomes was evaluated. Pre-transplantation disease status was relapse in 48.1% and 26.8% and primary refractory in 51.9% and 73.2% of the patients with AMLint and AMLadv, respectively (P < .0001). Two-year leukemia-free survival (LFS, 35.5% versus 15.5%, P = .001) and overall survival (OS, 39.2% versus 20.1%, P = .001) were better in AMLint versus AMLadv. In multivariate analysis, the relapse rate was significantly higher (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.17 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.57-3.0]) and LFS (HR = 1.71 [95% CI, 1.31-2.22]) and OS (HR = 1.69 [95% CI, 1.29-2.22]), significantly lower for patients with AMLadv compared to AMLint, conditioning intensity did not affect leukemia relapse rate. Non-relapse mortality (HR = 1.1 [95% CI, 0.7-1.74]) and graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival (HR = 1.37 [95% CI, 1.06-1.77]) did not differ significantly between the risk groups. Disease status before transplant (primary refractory versus relapsed) or conditioning intensity did not impact main transplant outcomes. Baseline cytogenetic risk remains a key prognostic factor for patients with R/R AML with persistent disease before non-T-cell-depleted Haplo-HCT.

Whether to choose Haploidentical (Haplo) or one-antigen mismatched unrelated donor (1Ag-MMUD) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) remains an unanswered question. We compared PTCy- Haplo-HCT to PTCy-1Ag-MMUD-HCT for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete remission (three groups: 1Ag-MMUD using peripheral blood (1Ag-MMUD-PB; n = 155); Haplo using bone marrow (Haplo-BM; n = 647) or peripheral blood (Haplo-PB; n = 949)). Haplo-BM and Haplo-PB had a higher non-relapse mortality (NRM) compared to 1Ag-MMUD-PB (HR 2.28, 95% CI 1.23-4.24, p < 0.01; HR 2.65, 95% CI 1.46-4.81, p < 0.01, respectively). Haplo groups experienced a lower leukemia-free survival (LFS) compared to 1Ag-MMUD-PB (Haplo-BM: HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.06-2.14, p = 0.02; Haplo-PB: 1.47, 95% CI 1.05-2.05, p = 0.02); overall survival (OS) was also lower in Haplo-HCT (Haplo-BM: HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.02-2.21, p = 0.04; Haplo-PB: HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.05-2.19, p = 0.03). No differences were observed for graft-versus-host/relapse-free survival (GRFS) and relapse incidence (RI). Haplo-BM was associated with a lower risk of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (HR 0.44, 95% CI 0.24-0.81; p < 0.01), while no statistical differences were observed between groups for grade II-IV aGVHD and for cGVHD. Use of PTCy in 1Ag-MMUD-HCT is a valid alternative to consider when using alternative donors. Larger analysis of 1Ag-MMUD versus Haplo-HCT are warranted.

Adult B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) with t(4;11)(q21;q23);KMT2A/AFF1 is a poor-prognosis entity. This registry-based study was aimed to analyze outcome of patients with t(4;11) BCP-ALL treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) in first complete remission (CR1) between 2000 and 2017, focusing on the impact of measurable residual disease (MRD) at the time of transplant. Among 151 patients (median age, 38) allotransplanted from either HLA-matched siblings or unrelated donors, leukemia-free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS) at 2 years were 51% and 60%, whereas relapse incidence (RI) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were 30% and 20%, respectively. These results were comparable to a cohort of contemporary patients with diploid normal karyotype (NK) BCP-ALL with equivalent inclusion criteria (n = 567). Among patients with evaluable MRD pre-alloHSCT, a negative status was the strongest beneficial factor influencing LFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.2, p < 0.001), OS (HR = 0.14, p < 0.001), RI (HR = 0.23, p = 0.001), and NRM (HR = 0.16, p = 0.002), with a similar outcome to MRD-negative NK BCP-ALL patients. In contrast, among patients with detectable pretransplant MRD, outcome in t(4;11) BCP-ALL was inferior to NK BCP-ALL (LFS: 27% vs. 50%, p = 0.02). These results support indication of alloHSCT in CR1 for t(4;11) BCP-ALL patients, provided a negative MRD status is achieved. Conversely, pre-alloHSCT additional therapy is warranted in MRD-positive patients.
