Nutritional Status at Diagnosis and Pre-transplant Weight Loss Impact Outcomes of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients Following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation.

ABSTRACT: The nutritional status at diagnosis, as well as weight loss during chemotherapy, are important factors for morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. They might also influence outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We evaluated the body mass index (BMI) at diagnosis, prior to HSCT, and the BMI difference (?BMI?=?BMI_HSCT-BMI_diagnosis) in 662 AML patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT. Patients being obese at AML diagnosis had significantly higher nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and shorter overall survival (OS) after HSCT, but no distinct cumulative incidence of relapse than nonobese patients. Weight loss during chemotherapy (?BMI > -2) was a strong predictor for higher NRM and shorter OS in univariate and multivariate analyses. These results were observed across all European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2017 risk groups but especially in patients with favorable or intermediate ELN2017 risk and patients transplanted in morphologic complete remission. Only in patients being obese at AML diagnosis, weight loss did not result in adverse outcomes. ?BMI > -2 represents a strong, independent, and modifiable risk factor for AML patients treated with HSCT. Nutritional monitoring and supplementation during disease course might improve patients' outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundAllogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) using a mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) and cord blood transplantation (CBT) are valid alternatives for patients without a fully human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donor. Here, we compared the allo-HCT outcomes of CBT versus single-allele-mismatched MMUD allo-HCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in acute myeloid leukemia.MethodsPatients who underwent a first CBT without PTCy (N = 902) or allo-HCT from a (HLA 9/10) MMUD with PTCy (N = 280) were included in the study. A multivariate regression analysis was performed for the whole population. A matched-pair analysis was carried out by propensity score-based 1:1 matching of patients (177 pairs) with known cytogenetic risk.ResultsThe incidence of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) at 6 months was 36% versus 32% (p = 0.07) and 15% versus 11% (p = 0.16) for CBT and MMUD cohorts, respectively. CBT was associated with a higher incidence of graft failure (11% vs. 4%, p < 0.01) and higher 2-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) (30% vs. 16%, p < 0.01) compared to MMUD. In the multivariate analysis, CBT was associated with a higher risk of, NRM (HR = 2.09, 95% CI 1.46-2.99, p < 0.0001), and relapse (HR = 1.35, 95% CI 1-1.83, p = 0.05), which resulted in worse leukemia-free survival (LFS) (HR = 1.68, 95% CI 1.34-2.12, p < 0.0001), overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.7, 95% CI 1.33-2.17, p < 0.0001), and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) (HR = 1.49, 95% CI 1.21-1.83, p < 0.0001) compared to MMUD. The risk of grade II-IV acute GVHD (p = 0.052) and chronic GVHD (p = 0.69) did not differ significantly between the cohorts. These results were confirmed in a matched-pair analysis.ConclusionsCBT was associated with lower LFS, OS, and GRFS due to higher NRM, compared to MMUD allo-HCT with PTCy. In the absence of a fully matched donor, 9/10 MMUD with PTCy may be preferred over CBT.
