Prognosis of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma and indeterminate response to PD-1 inhibitor therapy: considerations for application of LYRIC criteria in real clinical practice.

PD-1 inhibitors have shown unconventional response patterns in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). These include the phenomenon of pseudoprogression, highlighting the need for specialized response criteria such as the LyRIC, which stringened definitions for disease progression with introduction of indeterminate response category. Despite their potential utility, these provisional criteria are currently underutilized and require further refinement through clinical practice data collection.

Higher survival following transplantation with a mismatched unrelated donor with posttransplant cyclophosphamide-based graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis than with double unit umbilical cord blood in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first complete remission: A study from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

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.

Young (<35 years) haploidentical versus old (≥35 years) mismatched unrelated donors and vice versa for allogeneic stem cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first remission: a study on behalf of the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

We compared transplantation (HSCT) outcomes in AML patients undergoing HSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in first complete remission from 1065 young (<35 years) haploidentical (Haplo) donors (yHaplo) vs. 147 old (≥35 years) mismatched unrelated donors (oMMUD) (first comparison) and from 271 young (<35 years) MMUD (yMMUD) vs. 1315 old (≥35 years) Haplo donors (oHaplo) (second comparison).
