Should anti-thymocyte globulin be added in post-transplant cyclophosphamide based matched unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia? A study on behalf of the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the EBMT. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • This study examined outcomes of acute myeloid leukemia patients who received stem cell transplants and either included or excluded anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) for GvHD prevention.
  • Key differences between the two groups were found in the transplant year and follow-up duration, but overall survival rates and causes of death showed no significant difference.
  • Although adding ATG reduced extensive chronic GvHD rates, it did not enhance overall GvHD outcomes or survival rates compared to those receiving just post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY).

Article Abstract

In this registry-based study which includes acute myeloid leukemia patients who underwent a matched unrelated donor allogeneic peripheral-blood stem cell transplantation in complete remission and received post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis, we compared 421 recipients without anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) with 151 patients with ATG. The only significant differences between PTCY and PTCY + ATG cohorts were the median year of transplant and the follow-up period (2017 vs 2015 and 19.6 vs 31.1 months, respectively, p < 0.0001). Overall, 2-year survival was 69.9% vs 67.1% in PTCY and PTCY + ATG, respectively, with deaths related to relapse (39% vs 43.5%), infection (21.9% vs 23.9%) or GvHD (17.1% vs 17.4%) not differing between groups. On univariate comparison, a significantly lower rate of extensive chronic GvHD was found when ATG was added (9.9% vs 21%, p = 0.029), a finding which was not confirmed in the multivariate analysis. The Cox-model showed no difference between PTCY + ATG and PTCY alone with respect to acute and chronic GvHD of all grades, non-relapse mortality, relapse, leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and GvHD-free-relapse-free survival between study cohorts. Our results highlight that the addition of ATG in PTCY does not provide any extra benefit in terms of further GvHD reduction, better GRFS or better survival.
