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.

In the context of T-cell replete haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo-SCT) using post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy), it is still unknown whether peripheral blood (PB) or bone marrow (BM) is the best graft source. While PB is associated with a higher incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), it may induce a stronger graft-versus-leukemia effect compared to BM, notably in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). From the EBMT registry database, we compared T-cell replete PB (n = 595) versus BM (n = 209) grafts in a large cohort of 804 patients over the age of 60 years who underwent Haplo-SCT with PT-Cy for an AML in first or second complete remission. The risk of acute GVHD was significantly higher in the PB group (Grade II-IV: HR = 1.67, 95% CI [1.10-2.54], p = 0.01; Grade III-IV: HR = 2.29, 95% CI [1.16-4.54], p = 0.02). No significant difference was observed in chronic GVHD or non-relapse mortality. In the PB group, the risk of relapse was significantly lower in the PB group (HR = 0.65, 95% CI [0.45-0.94], p = 0.02) and leukemia-free survival was significantly better (HR = 0.76, 95% CI [0.59-0.99], p = 0.04), with a trend toward better overall survival (HR = 0.78, 95% CI [0.60-1.01], p = 0.06). We conclude that in the specific context of Haplo-SCT with PT-Cy, PB grafts represent a valid option to decrease the risk of relapse and improve outcome of older AML patients who usually do not benefit from conditioning intensification.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is recommended for core-binding factor mutated (CBF) AML patients achieving second complete remission (CR2). However, approximately 20% of patients may relapse after transplant and donor preference remains unclear. We compared in this EBMT global multicenter registry-based analysis the allo-HCT outcomes using either haploidentical (Haplo), matched siblings donors (MSD), or 10/10 matched unrelated donors (MUD). Data from 865 de novo adult CBF AML patients in CR2 receiving allo-HCT in 227 EBMT centers from 2010 to 2022 were analyzed, in which 329 MSD, 374 MUD, and 162 Haplo-HCTs were included. For the entire cohort, 503 (58%) patients were inv(16)/CBFB-MYH11 and 362 patients (42%) were t(8;21)/RUNX1-RUNX1T1 AML. On multivariate analysis, Haplo-HCT was associated with a lower Relapse Incidence (RI) compared to either MSD (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.56, 95% CI 0.32-0.97; p < .05) or MUD (HR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.33-0.99, p < .05). No significant difference was observed among the 3 types of donors on LFS, OS and GRFS. CBF-AML with t(8;21) was associated with both higher RI (HR = 1.79, 95% CI 1.3-2.47; p < .01) and higher NRM (HR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.1-2.27; p < .01) than CBF-AML with inv(16), which led to worse LFS, OS and GRFS. To conclude, for CBF-AML patients in CR2, Haplo-HCTs were associated with a lower RI compared to MSD and MUD allo-HCTs. There was no difference on LFS, OS or GRFS. CBF AML patients with inv(16) had a better progonosis than those with t(8;21) after allo-HCT in CR2.

In children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who lack a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) identical sibling, the donor can be replaced with an HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD) or a haploidentical donor (haplo). We compared outcomes of patients <18 years with AML in first and second complete remission (CR1 and CR2) undergoing a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) either with a MUD with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) (N=420) or a haplo HCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-CY) (N=96) after a myeloablative conditioning regimen (MAC) between 2011 and 2021, reported to the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation. A matched pair analysis was performed to adjust for differences among groups. The final analysis was performed on 253 MUD and 95 haplo-HCT. In the matched cohort, median age at HCT was 11.2 and 10 years and median year of HCT was 2017 and 2018, in MUD and haplo-HCT recipients, respectively. The risk of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) was significantly higher in the haplo group (hazard ratio [HR]=2.33, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.18-4.58; P=0.01). No significant differences were found in 2 years overall survival (OS; 78.4% vs. 71.5%; HR=1.39, 95% CI: 0.84-2.31; P=0.19), leukemia-free survival (LFS; 72.7% vs. 69.5%; HR=1.22, 95% CI: 0.76-1.95; P=0.41), CI of relapse (RI; 19.3% vs. 19.5%; HR=1.14, 95% CI: 0.62-2.08; P=0.68) non-relapse-mortality (NRM; 8% vs. 11%; HR=1.39, 95% CI: 0.66-2.93; P=0.39) and graft-versus-host free relapse-free survival (GRFS; 60.7% vs. 54.5%, HR=1.38, 95% CI: 0.95-2.02; P=0.09) after MUD and haplo-HCT respectively. Our study suggests that haplo-HCT with PT-CY is a suitable option to transplant children with AML lacking a matched related donor.

There is a paucity of information on how to select the most appropriate unrelated donor (UD) in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). We retrospectively analyzed the characteristics of 10/10 matched UDs (MUDs) and 9/10 mismatched UDs (MMUDs) that may affect transplant outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first or second complete remission (CR1 or CR2). The primary end point was leukemia-free survival (LFS). Overall, 1011 patients were included with a median age of 54 years (range, 18-77). Donors had a median age of 29 years (range, 18-64); 304 (30%) were females, of which 150 (15% of the whole group) were donors to male recipients, and 621 (61%) were MUDs; 522 (52%) had negative cytomegalovirus (CMV-neg) serostatus, of which 189 (19%) were used for CMV-neg recipients. Donor age older than 30 years had a negative impact on relapse (hazard ratio [HR], 1.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-1.8), LFS (HR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.12-1.74), overall survival (HR 1.45; 95% CI, 1.14-1.85) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) free, relapse-free survival (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.07-1.56). In addition, CMV-neg donors for CMV-neg recipients were associated with improved LFS (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.55-0.99). The use of MMUD and female donors for male recipients did not significantly impact any transplant outcomes. For patients undergoing HSCT from a UD with PTCy for AML, donor age <30 years significantly improves survival. In this context, donor age might be prioritized over HLA match considerations. In addition, CMV-neg donors are preferable for CMV-neg recipients. However, further research is needed to validate and refine these recommendations.

There is a paucity of information to guide the selection of the most suitable donor in haploidentical (Haplo) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). For this reason, from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, we conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate the impact of Haplo donor characteristics on outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who received graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). The primary end point was graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS). Overall, 2200 patients were included. The median age of donors was 37 years (range, 8-71); 820 (37%) were females, including 458 (21%) who were used for male recipients. In addition, 1631 donors (74%) donated peripheral blood (PB). Multivariable analysis identified certain donor-related risk factors with a detrimental impact on transplant outcomes. The use of PB, older donors' ages (>37 years), and female donors to male recipients negatively affected GRFS. Donor's age and female donor-to-male recipient combination also affected nonrelapse mortality, leukemia-free survival, and overall survival. In conclusion, donor-related variables significantly influence outcomes in patients with AML after Haplo-HSCT with PTCy. When possible, younger donors and male donors for male recipients should be prioritized. The use of bone marrow can additionally prevent GVHD.

Optimizing natural killer (NK) cell alloreactivity could further improve outcome after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). The donor's Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (KIR) genotype may provide important information in this regard. In the past decade, different models have been proposed aiming at maximizing NK cell activation by activating KIR-ligand interactions or minimizing inhibitory KIR-ligand interactions. Alternative classifications intended predicting outcome after alloHCT by donor KIR-haplotypes. In the present study, we aimed at validating proposed models and exploring more classification approaches. To this end, we analyzed samples stored at the Collaborative Biobank from HLA-compatible unrelated stem cell donors who had donated for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS) and whose outcome data had been reported to EBMT or CIBMTR. The donor KIR genotype was determined by high resolution amplicon-based next generation sequencing. We analyzed data from 5,017 transplants. The median patient age at alloHCT was 56 years. Patients were transplanted for AML between 2013 and 2018. Donor-recipient pairs were matched for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and -DQB1 (79%) or had single HLA mismatches. Myeloablative conditioning was given to 56% of patients. Fifty-two percent of patients received anti-thymocyte-globulin-based graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, 32% calcineurin-inhibitor-based prophylaxis, and 7% post-transplant cyclophosphamide-based prophylaxis. We tested several previously reported classifications in multivariable regression analyses but could not confirm outcome associations. Exploratory analyses in 1,939 patients (39%) who were transplanted from donors with homozygous centromeric (cen) or telomeric (tel) A or B motifs, showed that the donor cen B/B-tel A/A diplotype was associated with a trend to better event-free survival (HR 0.84, p=.08) and reduced risk of non-relapse mortality (NRM) (HR 0.65, p=.01). When we further dissected the contribution of B subtypes, we found that only the cen B01/B01-telA/A diplotype was associated with a reduced risk of relapse (HR 0.40, p=.04) while all subtype combinations contributed to a reduced risk of NRM. This exploratory finding has to be validated in an independent data set. In summary, the existing body of evidence is not (yet) consistent enough to recommend use of donor KIR genotype information for donor selection in routine clinical practice.

Poor-risk (PR) cytogenetic/molecular abnormalities generally direct pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). We assessed the predictive value of cytogenetic risk classification at diagnosis with respect to post-HSCT outcomes in pediatric patients. Patients younger than 18 years at the time of their first allogeneic HSCT for AML in CR1 between 2005 and 2022 who were reported to the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation registry were subgrouped into four categories. Of the 845 pediatric patients included in this study, 36% had an 11q23 abnormality, 24% had monosomy 7/del7q or monosomy 5/del5q, 24% had a complex or monosomal karyotype, and 16% had other PR cytogenetic abnormalities. In a multivariable model, 11q23 (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.66, P = 0.03) and other PR cytogenetic abnormalities (HR = 0.55, P = 0.02) were associated with significantly better overall survival when compared with monosomy 7/del7q or monosomy 5/del5q. Patients with other PR cytogenetic abnormalities had a lower risk of disease relapse after HSCT (HR = 0.49, P = 0.01) and, hence, better leukemia-free survival (HR = 0.55, P = 0.01). Therefore, we conclude that PR cytogenetic abnormalities at diagnosis predict overall survival after HSCT for AML in pediatric patients.
