While in vivo T-cell depletion (TCD) is widely used, its benefit in patients with MDS still remains a matter of debate. This study evaluates the impact of TCD on outcomes, and compares ATG and alemtuzumab, in patients with MDS. 1284 patients from the EBMT registry were included in this study with 470 patients in the no-TCD group and 814 in the TCD group (alemtuzumab N = 168; ATG N = 646). At 6 months, aGVHD III-IV cumulative incidences (CI) for no-TCD, ATG or alemtuzumab groups were 13% vs 14% vs 11% (ns), respectively. At 5 years, CI of chronic GVHD were 64% vs 52% vs 51% (p < 0.00017); and CI of relapse was 23% vs 25% vs 39% (p < 0.0001) for no TCD, ATG and alemtuzumab respectively; OS was 47% vs 46% vs 34% (p = 0.009) respectively; and GRFS was 21% vs 28% and 20% (p = 0.045) respectively. In multivariable analysis, ATG improved GRFS, and alemtuzumab decreased OS. Both ATG and alemtuzumab decreased risk of chronic GVHD, but the increased risk of relapse with alemtuzumab is associated with a poor GRFS and suggest to not use alemtuzumab in the setting of allo-SCT for high risk disease.

The prognosis of patients with blast crisis (BC) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is still dismal. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation represents the only curative treatment option, but data on transplant outcomes are scarce. We therefore conducted a retrospective, registry-based study of adult patients allografted for BC CML, focusing on patients with active disease at transplant and pretransplant prognostic factors. One hundred seventy patients allografted for BC CML after tyrosine kinase inhibitor pretreatment between 2004 and 2016 were analyzed. Before transplant, 95 patients were in remission, whereas 75 patients had active BC. In multivariable analysis of the entire cohort, active BC at transplant was the strongest factor associated with decreased overall survival (hazrd ratio, 1.87; P = .010) and shorter leukemia-free survival (LFS; hazard ratio, 1.69; P = .017). For patients with BC in remission at transplant, advanced age (≥45 years), lower performance status (≤80%), longer interval from diagnosis BC to transplant (>12 months), myeloablative conditioning, and unrelated donor (UD) transplant were risk factors for inferior survival. In patients with active BC, only UD transplant was significantly associated with prolonged LFS and trended toward improved overall survival. In summary, survival of patients allografted for BC CML was strongly dependent on pretransplant remission status. In patients with remission of BC, conventional prognostic factors remained the major determinants of outcome, whereas in those with active BC at transplant, UD transplant was associated with prolonged LFS in our study.
