Disability related to chronic graft -versus-host disease after alternative donor hematopoietic cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT: We determined the incidence of disability related to chronic graft-versus-host disease (bronchiolitis obliterans, grade ≥2 keratoconjunctivitis sicca, sclerotic features or esophageal stricture) for three categories of alternative donor: cord blood, haplorelated marrow or peripheral blood with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, and unrelated single HLA-allele mismatched peripheral blood. Among 396 consecutive hematopoietic cell transplant recipients, 129 developed chronic graft-versus-host disease with 3-year cumulative incidences of 8% for cord blood, 24% for haplorelated grafts, and 55% for unrelated single HLA-allele mismatched peripheral blood. Disability rates were significantly lower for cord blood [hazard ratio (HR) 0.13; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.1-0.4] and for the haplorelated group (HR 0.31; 95% CI: 0.1-0.7) compared to the rate in the group transplanted with unrelated single HLA-allele mismatched peripheral blood. Cord blood recipients were also >2-fold more likely to return to work/school within 3 years from the onset of chronic graft-versus-host disease (HR 2.54; 95% CI: 1.1-5.7, P=0.02), and the haplorelated group trended similarly (HR 2.38; 95% CI: 1.0-5.9, P=0.06). Cord blood recipients were more likely to discontinue immunosuppression than were recipients of unrelated single HLA-allele mismatched peripheral blood (HR 3.96; 95% CI: 1.9-8.4, P=0.0003), similarly to the haplorelated group (HR 4.93; 95% CI: 2.2-11.1, P=0.0001). Progression-free survival and non-relapse mortality did not differ between groups grafted from different types of donors. Our observations that, compared to recipients of unrelated single HLA-allele mismatched peripheral blood, recipients of cord blood and haplorelated grafts less often developed disability related to chronic graft-versus-host disease, and were more likely to resume work/school, should help better counseling of pre-hematopoietic cell transplant candidates.

Project description:Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is major cause of morbidity and mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Ixazomib is an oral, second-generation, proteasome inhibitor that has been shown in preclinical models to prevent GVHD. We conducted a phase I/II trial in 57 patients to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ixazomib administration for cGVHD prophylaxis in patients undergoing allogeneic HCT. Oral ixazomib was administered on a weekly basis for a total of 4 doses, beginning days +60 through +90, to recipients of matched related donor (MRD, n = 25) or matched unrelated donor (MUD, n = 26) allogeneic HCT in phase II portion of the study, once the recommended phase II dose of 4 mg was identified in phase I (n = 6). All patients received peripheral blood graft and standard GVHD prophylaxis of tacrolimus and methotrexate. Ixazomib administration was safe and well tolerated, with thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, gastrointestinal complaints, and fatigue the most common adverse events (>10%). In phase II (n = 51), the cumulative incidence of cGVHD at 1 year was 36% (95% confidence interval [CI], 19% to 54%) in the MRD cohort and 39% (95% CI, 21% to 56%) in the MUD cohort. One-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and relapse was 0% and 20% (95% CI, 8% to 36%) in the MRD cohort, respectively. In the MUD cohort, the respective NRM and relapse rates were 4% (0% to 16%) and 34% (17% to 52%). The outcomes on the study were compared post hoc with contemporaneous matched Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) controls. This post hoc analysis showed no significant improvement in cGVHD rates in both the MRD (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.85, P = .64) or MUD cohorts (HR = 0.68, P = .26) on the study compared with CIBMTR controls. B cell activating factor plasma levels were significantly higher after ixazomib dosing in those who remained cGVHD free compared with those developed cGVHD. This study shows that the novel strategy of short-course oral ixazomib following allogeneic HCT is safe but did not demonstrate significant improvement in cGVHD incidence in recipients of MRD and MUD transplantation compared with matched CIBMTR controls. This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02250300.
