Early CD4+ T cell reconstitution as predictor of outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:An association between early CD4+ T cell immune reconstitution (CD4+ IR) and survival after T-replete allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been previously reported. Here we report validation of this relationship in a separate cohort that included recipients of ex vivo T-cell-depleted (TCD) HCT. We studied the relationship between CD4+ IR and clinical outcomes. METHODS:A retrospective analysis of children/young adults receiving their first allogeneic HCT for any indication between January 2008 and December 2017 was performed. We related early CD4+ IR (defined as achieving >50 CD4+ T cells/µL on two consecutive measures within 100 days of HCT) to overall survival (OS), relapse, non-relapse mortality (NRM), event-free survival (EFS) and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Fine and Gray competing risk models and Cox proportional hazard models were used. RESULTS:In this analysis, 315 patients with a median age of 10.4 years (interquartile range 5.0-16.5 years) were included. The cumulative incidence of CD4+ IR at 100 days was 66.7% in the entire cohort, 54.7% in TCD (N = 208, hazard ratio [HR] 0.47, P < 0.001), 90.0% in uCB (N = 40) and 89.6% in T-replete (N = 47) HCT recipients. In multi-variate analyses, not achieving early CD4+ IR was a predictor of inferior OS (HR 2.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.46-3.79, P < 0.001) and EFS (HR 1.80, 95% CI 1.20-2.69, P = 0.004) and increased NRM (HR 6.58, 95% CI 2.82-15.38, P < 0.001). No impact of CD4+ IR on relapse or aGVHD was found. Within the TCD group, similar associations were observed. CONCLUSION:In this HCT cohort, including recipients of TCD HCT, we confirmed that early CD4+ IR was an excellent predictor of outcomes. Finding strategies to predict or improve CD4+ IR may influence outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundRelationships between microbiota composition and clinical outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation have been described in single-center studies. Geographic variations in the composition of human microbial communities and differences in clinical practices across institutions raise the question of whether these associations are generalizable.MethodsThe microbiota composition of fecal samples obtained from patients who were undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation at four centers was profiled by means of 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. In an observational study, we examined associations between microbiota diversity and mortality using Cox proportional-hazards analysis. For stratification of the cohorts into higher- and lower-diversity groups, the median diversity value that was observed at the study center in New York was used. In the analysis of independent cohorts, the New York center was cohort 1, and three centers in Germany, Japan, and North Carolina composed cohort 2. Cohort 1 and subgroups within it were analyzed for additional outcomes, including transplantation-related death.ResultsWe profiled 8767 fecal samples obtained from 1362 patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation at the four centers. We observed patterns of microbiota disruption characterized by loss of diversity and domination by single taxa. Higher diversity of intestinal microbiota was associated with a lower risk of death in independent cohorts (cohort 1: 104 deaths among 354 patients in the higher-diversity group vs. 136 deaths among 350 patients in the lower-diversity group; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.71; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.55 to 0.92; cohort 2: 18 deaths among 87 patients in the higher-diversity group vs. 35 deaths among 92 patients in the lower-diversity group; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.27 to 0.90). Subgroup analyses identified an association between lower intestinal diversity and higher risks of transplantation-related death and death attributable to graft-versus-host disease. Baseline samples obtained before transplantation already showed evidence of microbiome disruption, and lower diversity before transplantation was associated with poor survival.ConclusionsPatterns of microbiota disruption during allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation were similar across transplantation centers and geographic locations; patterns were characterized by loss of diversity and domination by single taxa. Higher diversity of intestinal microbiota at the time of neutrophil engraftment was associated with lower mortality. (Funded by the National Cancer Institute and others.).
