Relationship of donor age and relationship to outcomes of haploidentical transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide.

ABSTRACT: Allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) physicians seek to optimize all possible variables to improve outcomes. Selectable factors include conditioning, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, graft source, and donor. Many patients, especially those with eligible haploidentical (haplo) donors, will have multiple donor options. We seek to identify factors to optimize the choice of haplo donors when using posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) GVHD prophylaxis. We evaluated the effect of modifiable donor characteristics (donor age and relationship) on outcomes following haplo BMT with a uniform nonmyeloablative conditioning and PTCy. From 2002 to 2017, 889 consecutive adult patients underwent nonmyeloablative haplo BMT with PTCy. Median follow-up among survivors was 2.5 years after BMT. Median recipient age was 59 (range: 18 to 76) years and median donor age was 40 (range: 13 to 79) years. Multivariable analyses demonstrated that increasing donor age by decade was associated with poorer overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 1.13 [1.05, 1.22; P = .0015]), worse progression-free survival (HR, 1.09 [1.02, 1.16; P = .015]), and a higher risk for grade 2 to 4 and grade 3 to 4 GVHD (1.3 [1.06, 1.61; P = .013]), but not for chronic GVHD (HR, 1.06 [0.94, 1.2]; P = .37). These less-favorable results with older donors were attributable to worse nonrelapse mortality (HR, 1.19 [1.05, 1.34]; P = .006), not relapse. Parents were associated with inferior outcomes compared with sibling donors, whereas no significant differences were observed between parental donors. These data suggest that the youngest, adult-sized donors should be preferred when multiple haplo donors are available.

Project description:Importance:Use of haploidentical (HAPLO) stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide is rapidly increasing in adults with hematologic cancers. However, its specific role compared with other transplant strategies has yet to be identified. Objective:To synthesize the existing evidence regarding outcomes of stem cell transplantations comparing HAPLO stem cell transplantation and posttransplant cyclophosphamide therapy with transplantations from matched related donors (MRDs), matched unrelated donors (MUDs), or mismatched unrelated donors (MMUDs). Data Sources:PubMed, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and meeting abstracts were searched for the key words haploidentical and cyclophosphamide from inception through March 1, 2019. Study Selection:Studies comparing HAPLO stem cell transplantation and posttransplant cyclophosphamide therapy with transplantations from other donors in adults with hematologic cancers were eligible for meta-analysis. Data Extraction and Synthesis:Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were calculated using a random-effects model. Main Outcomes and Measures:Main outcomes were all-cause mortality, nonrelapse mortality, and relapse. Results:A total of 30 studies including 22?974 participants were analyzed. HAPLO stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide therapy was associated with increased all-cause mortality compared with MRDs (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.05-1.30), similar all-cause mortality compared with MUDs (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.96-1.18), and reduced all-cause mortality compared with MMUDs (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.61-0.92). Regarding nonrelapse mortality, HAPLO stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide was associated with worse outcomes compared with MRDs (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.04-1.40) but better outcomes compared with MUDs (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.61-0.92) and MMUDs (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.25-1.02). In terms of relapse, HAPLO stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide was associated with similar outcome compared with MRDs (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.86-1.17) and MMUDs (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.77-1.47) but showed increased relapse compared with MUDs (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.03-1.40). Conclusions and Relevance:Results of this meta-analysis suggest that MRDs, if available, remain the optimal donors regarding mortality and HAPLO stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide may be preferred over MMUDs. Prospective comparisons with MUDs are needed.
