Anti-T-lymphocyte globulin (ATLG) compared to post-transplant cyclophosphamide as GvHD prophylaxis in ALL patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

We retrospectively analyzed high-risk ALL patients in CR1 receiving total body irradiation based conditioning regimen with ATLG (n = 74) or PTCy (n = 73) for GVHD prophylaxis. The 3-year OS and LFS were similar in both groups: 65 and 60% in the ATLG group and 64 and 67% in the PTCy group (p = 0.9 and 0.

Development and Validation of a Concise Objectifiable Risk Evaluation Score for Non-Relapse Mortality after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

We aimed to develop a concise objectifiable risk evaluation (CORE) tool for predicting non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). A total of 1120 adult patients who had undergone allo-HCT at our center between 2013 and 2020 were divided into training, first, and second validation cohorts. Objectifiable, patient-related factors impacting NRM in univariate and multivariate analyses were: serum albumin, serum creatinine, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), heart function (LVEF), lung function (VC, FEV1), and patient age.

Comparison of immune reconstitution between anti-T-lymphocyte globulin and posttransplant cyclophosphamide as acute graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis in allogeneic myeloablative peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

Anti-T-cell lymphocyte globulin (ATLG) and posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) are now widely used strategies to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Data comparing immune reconstitution (IR) between ATLG and PTCy is scarce. This retrospective study conducted at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) compares PTCy (n=123) and ATLG (n=476) after myeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant.

Incidence and Outcome of Late Relapse after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation for Myelofibrosis.

In this cross-sectional study, we retrospectively evaluated the files of 227 patients with myelofibrosis who underwent transplantation between 1994 and 2015 for relapse later than 5 years after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). A total of 94 patients who were alive and in remission at 5 years were identified with follow-up of at least 5 years (median, 9.15 years) after SCT.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation for myelofibrosis patients aged ≥65 years.

Introduction: Myelofibrosis (MF) is a disease of elderly with median age of 65 years at diagnosis. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) currently is the only potentially curative option, although associated with treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Development of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens enabled transplant to be performed successfully in older patients.

Correlation of somatic mutations with outcome after FLAMSA-busulfan sequential conditioning and allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a curative treatment option for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Little is known about the prognostic impact of mutations, for example, in TP53 specifically after allo-HSCT. We here describe the prognostic impact of mutations in a panel of 19 genes analyzed by amplicon-based next-generation-sequencing in a uniformly treated patient cohort.
