Iron Overload Is Associated with Delayed Engraftment and Increased Nonrelapse Mortality in Recipients of Umbilical Cord Blood Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.

ABSTRACT: The negative impact of iron overload (IO) on outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is well recognized, but its impact on umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplant outcome is unknown. We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of 150 patients who received UCB-HCT at our institution, stratified by pre-HCT serum ferritin (SF) level of 2000 ng/mL. Two-year overall survival rate among patients with SF >2000 and ≤2000 ng/mL was 26.1% (95% CI, 10.6% to 44.7%) and 52.1% (95% CI, 40.1% to 62.8%), respectively; hazard ratio (HR) = 2.26 (95% CI, 1.28 to 4.00, P = .005). Two-year nonrelapse mortality rate was higher among patients with SF >2000 ng/mL (56.5%; 95% CI, 33.3% to 74.4%) compared to SF ≤2000 ng/mL (30.1%; 95% CI, 20.0% to 40.9%); HR = 2.18 (95% CI, 1.10 to 4.31, P = .025). Neutrophil engraftment at 42 days was 78.3% (95% CI, 53.5% to 90.8%) in patients with SF >2000 ng/mL versus 91.8% (95% CI, 82.1% to 96.4%) in patients with SF ≤2000 ng/mL; HR = 0.58 (95% CI, 0.35 to 0.96, P = .034). A significant difference in platelet engraftment at 3 months was also observed: 52.2% (95% CI, 29.4% to 70.8%) for SF >2000 ng/mL versus 80.8% (95% CI, 69.5% to 88.3%) for SF ≤2000 ng/mL; HR = 0.48 (95% CI, 0.23 to 0.98, P = .044). In conclusion, IO defined by SF of 2000 ng/mL is a strong adverse prognostic factor for UCB-HCT and should be considered when UCB is chosen as the graft source for patients without a fully matched donor.

Project description:The high incidence of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) reactivation, potentially interfering with engraftment after umbilical cord blood (UCB) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), remains a major challenge. To potentially address this problem, we evaluated the effect of prophylactic foscarnet administered twice daily beginning on day +7 and continuing through engraftment in 25 patients. To determine the impact of foscarnet on HHV-6, engraftment, and other transplantation outcomes, we compared results in 61 identically treated patients with hematologic malignancies. Treatment and control groups underwent reduced-intensity conditioning UCB HCT with a conditioning regimen of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation 200 cGy with or without antithymocyte globulin (ATG), using sirolimus plus mycophenolate mofetil immune suppression. The treatment and control groups were similar in terms of age, disease risk, use of ATG, Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity Index, and graft CD34 cell dose; however, foscarnet-treated patients were less likely to receive a double UCB graft and to be treated more recently (2016 to 2018). The cumulative incidence of HHV-6 reactivation by day +100 was 63% for all patients (95% confidence interval [CI], 51% to 75%) and was not significantly different between the 2 groups. HHV-6 reactivation occurred at a median of 34 days in the foscarnet group and 25.5 days in the control group. The incidence of neutrophil engraftment at day 42 was higher in the foscarnet group compared with the control group (96%; [95% CI, 83% to 100%] versus 75% [95% CI, 64% to 85%]; P< .01). The cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment by 6 months was 92% (95% CI, 69% to 100%) for the foscarnet group versus 75% (95% CI, 60% to 90%) for the control group (P= .08), and multivariate analysis identified the use of foscarnet as an independent predictor of better platelet engraftment. No patients died as a result of graft failure in recipients of foscarnet, whereas 5 patients died from graft failure in the control group. Six-month overall survival (OS) and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) were better in the foscarnet group (96% versus 72% [P= .02] and 4% versus 18% [P= .07], respectively). Even though foscarnet prophylaxis did not prevent HHV-6 viremia, we observed a delay in time to HHV-6 reactivation, a trend toward differences in engraftment, NRM, and OS compared with historical controls.
