Matched related, matched unrelated, 1 mismatched unrelated, and haploidentical donors were selected for the patients. Platelet (median 11 vs 17 days) and neutrophil (median 14 vs 15 days) engraftment times were shorter in ATLG+ PTCy25 treated patients (both p < 0.05); veno-occlusive disease rates, graft failure and poor graft functions were similar between the two approaches (all p > 0.05); cumulative incidences of grade II-IV aGVHD at +100 days, grade III-IV aGVHD at +100 days, and grade II-IV cGVHD at 1-year were comparable between ATLG+PTCy25 and PTCy50 groups (all p > 0.05). Cumulative incidences of relapse and non-relapse mortality at 1-year were similar in two cohorts (both p > 0.05). PTCy50 was associated with a statistically significant benefit in terms of GVHD-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS) at 1-year (p = 0.03). Median GRFS was 115 (95% CI: 42–214) days and 248 (95% CI: 151-not reached) days, respectively [HR was 0.51 (0.28–0.95), p = 0.03; GRFS at 1-year was 20.7% vs 44.3%, respectively]. However, the groups were comparable in terms of PFS and OS. Median PFS was 332 days (95% CI: 182 days-not reached) for ATLG+PTCy25 group. It was not reached (95% CI: 210 days-not reached) for the patients who received PTCy50. Median OS was not reached in either ATLG+PTCy25 (95% CI: 191 days-not reached) or PTCy50 groups (Log rank = 0.42). Our study showed that lowering PTCy dose with ATLG seems to accelerate platelet and neutrophil engraftment rates; confers similar survival and relapse rates, similar acute and chronic GVHD frequency despite increased GRFS at 1-year.","PeriodicalId":9126,"journal":{"name":"Bone Marrow Transplantation","volume":"60 6","pages":"864-872"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41409-025-02564-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143958462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effects may be exacerbated in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients, who face nutritional challenges due to treatment side effects, leading to weight loss and malnutrition. We hypothesize that pre-HSCT FI increases the risk of malnutrition, requiring nutrition support, and adverse psychosocial outcomes. Between February 2018 and August 2022, 284 patients were screened before HSCT for FI. 71 (25%) were excluded due to missing data. Of the remaining 213, 20 (9.4%) reported pre-HSCT FI. Patients with FI were more likely to develop malnutrition during HSCT (70% vs. 45.1%, p = 0.034) and need total parenteral nutrition compared to those without FI (65% vs. 34.2%, p = 0.013). Patients with FI also were more likely to screen positive for depression (40% vs. 10.4%, p = 0.002) and financial toxicity (75% vs. 25%, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in survival or other secondary outcomes. Our study demonstrates that pre-HSCT FI significantly increases likelihood of malnutrition, the need for total parenteral nutrition, and adverse psychosocial outcomes in HSCT patients. These findings highlight the critical importance of early identification and interventions to address FI as part of comprehensive cancer care.","PeriodicalId":9126,"journal":{"name":"Bone Marrow Transplantation","volume":"60 6","pages":"857-863"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143962282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We retrospectively analyzed data from a nationwide registry, including 6966 pediatric patients who underwent their first allogeneic HCT at 123 centers in Japan between 2001 and 2020. Centers were categorized by transplant volume as low volume centers (C1, the smallest number of transplantation), medium-low volume centers (C2), medium-high volume centers (C3), and high volume centers (C4, the greatest number of transplantation), and outcomes were compared across these categories. The analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in HCT outcomes among center categories. The 5-year OS by center category was 66.8% (95% CI 64.4–69.0%) for C1, 66.8% (95% CI 64.5–69.0%) for C2, 67.9% (95% CI 65.6–70.2%) for C3, and 68.3% (95% CI 65.9–70.6%) for C4.
