Autologous hematopoietic cell transplants (auto-HCTs) remain the standard of care for transplant-eligible MM patients. The general practice has been to undergo upfront apheresis following induction to collect sufficient number of CD34+ cells to facilitate two auto-HCTs. However, 5-30% of MM patients do not initially mobilise a sufficient number of hematopoietic stem cells and are classified as poor mobilizers (PM). We compared the baseline characteristics and outcomes of 61 PMs and 816 non-PM patients who underwent a second auto-HCT and who were enrolled in the non-interventional CALM study (NCT01362972). Only patients who collected CD34+ prior to auto-HCT1 were included. Auto-HCT2 comprised both tandem and salvage transplants. PMs were re-mobilized with plerixafor (n = 24, 39.3%) or non-plerixafor-based regimens (n = 37, 60.7%). There were no significant differences in engraftment, progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) after the second auto-HCT between PM and non-PM patients. There was a trend to shorter PFS in PM patients undergoing salvage auto-HCT (median 9.6 vs. 12.9 months; p = 0.08) but no significant difference in OS. The median OS was 41.1 months for PM and 41.2 months for non-PM patients (p = 0.86). These data suggest that salvage mobilization is effective and does not affect overall outcomes after a second auto-HCT.

Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) is increasingly used as effective graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation (allo-HCT). However, PTCY is associated with toxicities. Whether patients with specific comorbidities are more vulnerable to cyclophosphamide-induced toxicity is unclear. We retrospectively evaluated the impact of individual organ dysfunctions for non-relapse mortality (NRM) risk and overall survival (OS) among 5888 adults who underwent PTCY-based allo-HCT for acute myeloid leukemia between 2010 and 2023. In multivariable analyses 5 of the comorbidities (renal, moderate/severe hepatic, cardiac including arrhythmia/valvular disease, severe pulmonary, infection) were independently associated with adverse NRM and OS without influencing relapse rate. A simplified model using the absence (n = 4390), presence of 1 (n = 1229) or presence of 2 or 3 (n = 269) of the comorbidities which were determined individually to contribute to NRM stratified patients into 3 NRM risk (16.2% vs. 21.6% vs. 36%, retrospectively) and OS categories (64% vs. 56% vs. 36.4%, retrospectively). In Cox model, recipients with 2 or 3 comorbidities had an increased hazard ratio for NRM of 2.38 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.89-3) and for OS of 1.96 (95% CI 1.64-2.33). Whether patients with concomitant diagnoses, as determined here, may benefit from a reduced PTCY dose remains to be evaluated in prospective clinical trials.

We assessed outcomes of allogeneic transplantation (HSCT) in favorable risk AML in CR1 over 3 time periods. 1850 patients were included, 2005 to 2009- 222, 2010 to 2014 -392, and 2015 to 2021-1236; 526 with t (8:21), 625 with inv (16), and 699 with NPM1mutFLT3WT. Patients transplanted in 2015-2021 were older (p < 0.0001) with more patients ≥60 years of age (p < 0.0001). The most frequent diagnosis in 2015-2021 was NPM1mutFLT3WT vs. t (8:21) in the 2 earlier periods, (p < 0001). Haploidentical transplants (Haplo) increased from 5.9% to 14.5% (p < 0.0001). Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) was more frequent in 2015-2021 vs. the other 2 periods (p < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, incidence of total chronic GVHD was reduced in HSCTs performed ≥2015 vs. those performed in 2005-2009, hazard ratio (HR) = 0.74 (95% CI 0.56-0.99, p = 0.046) and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) improved for patients transplanted from 2010-2014 vs. those transplanted in 2005-2009, HR = 0.74 (95% CI 0.56-0.98, p = 0.037). Other HSCT outcomes did not differ with no improvement ≥2015. LFS, OS, and GRFS were inferior in patients with t (8:21) with HR = 1.32 (95% CI 1.03-1.68, p = 0.026), HR = 1.38 (95% CI 1.04-1.83, p = 0.027) and HR = 01.25 (95% CI 1.02-1.53, p = 0.035), respectively. In conclusion, this retrospective analysis of HSCT in patients with favorable risk AML, transplanted over 16 years showed an increased number of transplants in patients ≥60 years, from Haplo donors with PTCy. Most importantly, 3-year GRFS improved ≥2010 and total chronic GVHD reduced ≥2015, with no significant change in other HSCT outcomes.

We compared transplantation (HSCT) outcomes in AML patients undergoing HSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in first complete remission from 1065 young (<35 years) haploidentical (Haplo) donors (yHaplo) vs. 147 old (≥35 years) mismatched unrelated donors (oMMUD) (first comparison) and from 271 young (<35 years) MMUD (yMMUD) vs. 1315 old (≥35 years) Haplo donors (oHaplo) (second comparison). Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) grades II-IV were significantly lower in the yHaplo vs. oMMUD group (HR = 0.62, p = 0.007). There were no significant differences in chronic GVHD, non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse incidence, leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and GVHD-free and relapse-free survival. As for the second comparison, more patients in the oHaplo group had de novo AML, 86.6% vs. 81.9% in the yMMUD group (p = 0.044), while myeloablative conditioning was used more frequently in the yMMUD group, 53.3% vs. 46.8% in the oHaplo group (p = 0.049). aGVHD grades II-IV and NRM were significantly lower in the yMMUD vs. oHaplo group (HR = 0.69, p = 0.013 and HR = 0.60, p = 0.022). All other transplant outcomes did not differ. In conclusion, HSCT from young alternative donors (<35 years) results in a lower incidence of grades II-IV aGVHD. In addition, NRM is lower in HSCT from yMMUD compared to HSCT from oHaplo.

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.

Allogeneic transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curative treatment in CLL whose efficacy including the most severe forms had led to the 2006 EBMT recommendations. The advent after 2014 of targeted therapies has revolutionized CLL management, allowing prolonged control to patients who have failed immunochemotherapy and/or have TP53 alterations. We analysed the pre COVID pandemic 2009-2019 EBMT registry. The yearly number of allo-HCT raised to 458 in 2011 yet dropped from 2013 onwards to an apparent plateau above 100. Within the 10 countries who were under the EMA for drug approval and performed 83.5% of those procedures, large initial differences were found but the annual number converged to 2-3 per 10 million inhabitants during the 3 most recent years suggesting that allo-HCT remains applied in selected patients. Long-term follow-up on targeted therapies shows that most patients relapse, some early, with risk factors and resistance mechanisms being described. The treatment of patients exposed to both BCL2 and BTK inhibitors and especially those with double refractory disease will become a challenge in which allo-HCT remains a solid option in competition with emerging therapies that have yet to demonstrate their long-term effectiveness.
