Abstract
Background
Haploidentical donor transplantation (HIDT) or cord blood transplantation (CBT) are common alternatives for patients lacking human-leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donors. In addition to the donor source, NK cell alloreactivity due to HLA-mismatch setting may affect outcomes in alternative-donor hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). However, a limited number of studies have evaluated their impacts in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Objectives
We aimed to assess the effects of donor source and KIRL-MM on outcomes of alternative-donor HCT, with a special focus on adult ALL.
Study Design
We retrospectively compared clinical outcomes between HIDT (n=47) and double unit CBT (DCBT) (n=134). Patients received fludarabine and busulfan-based reduced toxicity conditioning before HIDT, and TBI-based myeloablative conditioning before DCBT. KIR ligands were determined using a web-based calculator. For DCBT, donor KIR ligand groups were defined by the dominant CB unit after engraftment.
Results
After a median follow-up of 39.4 months, DCBT showed higher 3-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) (22.8% vs. 9.0%, p=0.038), whereas the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was significantly higher in HIDT (47.9% vs. 18.9%, p<0.001). Estimated disease-free survival (DFS) was comparable (DCBT 58.5% vs. HIDT 44.3%, p=0.106). GVH direction KIRL-MM showed lower incidence of acute GVHD in both HIDT and DCBT. However, GVH direction KIRL-MM was associated with poorer DFS (37.2% vs. 66.0%, p=0.008) only in the DCBT subgroup, mostly due to specifically higher NRM rate (35.0% vs 18.4%, p=0.057).
Conclusion
Our study supports the usefulness of DCBT in the HIDT-dominant era and suggests potential ways to improve survival outcomes of DCBT.
背景:单倍体供体移植(HIDT)或脐带血移植(CBT)是缺乏人类白细胞抗原(HLA)匹配供体的患者的常见选择。除了供体来源外,由于hla错配设置导致的NK细胞异体反应性也可能影响替代供体造血细胞移植(HCT)的结果。然而,有限数量的研究评估了它们对成人急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)的影响。目的:我们旨在评估供体来源和KIRL-MM对替代供体HCT结果的影响,特别关注成人ALL。研究设计:我们回顾性比较了HIDT (n=47)和双单位CBT (n=134)的临床结果。患者在HIDT前接受以氟达拉滨和布硫凡为基础的降低毒性调节,在DCBT前接受以tbi为基础的清髓调节。使用基于网络的计算器确定KIR配体。对于DCBT,供体KIR配体基团由植入后的优势CB单位定义。结果:中位随访39.4个月后,DCBT显示出更高的3年非复发死亡率(NRM) (22.8% vs. 9.0%, p=0.038),而HIDT的累积复发发生率(CIR)显著更高(47.9% vs. 18.9%)。结论:我们的研究支持DCBT在HIDT占主导地位的时代的有效性,并提出了改善DCBT生存结果的潜在方法。
