Abstract
The best donor option for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients lacking an HLA-matched donor has remained intensively debated. We herein report the results of a large retrospective registry study comparing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes between double-unit umbilical cord blood transplantation (dCBT, n = 209) versus 9/10 HLA-matched unrelated donor (UD) with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis (UD 9/10, n = 270) in patients with AML in first complete remission (CR1). Inclusion criteria consisted of adult patient, AML in CR1 at transplantation, either peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) from UD 9/10 with PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis or dCBT without PTCy, transplantation between 2013 and 2021, and no in vivo T-cell depletion. The 180-day cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD was 29% in UD 9/10 versus 44% in dCBT recipients (p = .001). After adjustment for covariates, dCBT recipients had a higher non-relapse mortality (HR = 2.35, 95% CI: 1.23–4.48; p = .01), comparable relapse incidence (HR = 1.12, 95% CI: 0.67–1.86; p = .66), lower leukemia-free survival (HR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.01–2.23; p = .047), and lower overall survival (HR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.08–2.55; p = .02) compared with patients receiving UD 9/10 HCT. In summary, our results suggest that transplantation outcomes are better with UD 9/10 with PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis than with dCBT for AML patients in CR1. These data might support the use of UD 9/10 with PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis over dCBT in AML patients lacking an HLA-matched donor.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Hematology offers extensive coverage of experimental and clinical aspects of blood diseases in humans and animal models. The journal publishes original contributions in both non-malignant and malignant hematological diseases, encompassing clinical and basic studies in areas such as hemostasis, thrombosis, immunology, blood banking, and stem cell biology. Clinical translational reports highlighting innovative therapeutic approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of hematological diseases are actively encouraged.The American Journal of Hematology features regular original laboratory and clinical research articles, brief research reports, critical reviews, images in hematology, as well as letters and correspondence.
