Sarcopenia Screening Allows Identifying High-Risk Patients for Allogenic Stem Cell Transplantation.

ABSTRACT: Allogenic stem cell transplantation (aSCT) is the only potentially curative treatment for high-risk hematological diseases. Despite advancements in supportive measures, aSCT outcome is still affected by considerable transplant-related mortality. We implemented a new sarcopenia assessment prior to aSCT to evaluate its predictive capability for all-cause and non-relapse mortality. Therefore all patients initially scheduled for aSCT within a 25-month period were screened during pre-transplantation-routine for muscle mass, grip strength, and aerobic capacity (AC) by measuring peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Patients were assigned to one of five groups adapted according current sarcopenia guidelines. Primary endpoints were all-cause and non-relapse mortality within a follow up time of up to 12 months. A total of 178 patients were included and rated as normal (n = 48), impaired aerobic capacity (n = 56), pre-sarcopenic (n = 26), sarcopenic (n = 27), and severe sarcopenic (n = 22) without significant age-differences between groups. Patients presenting with sarcopenia showed a significant three-fold increase in all-cause and non-relapse mortality compared to patients with normal screening results. AC showed to be the strongest single predictor with a more than two-fold increase of mortality for low AC. We conclude that risk stratification based on combination of muscle mass, grip strength, and AC allowed identifying a subgroup with increased risk for complications in patients undergoing aSCT.

Gut Microbiome Modulation and Faecal Microbiota Transplantation Following Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Project description:Nowadays, allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a curative therapy that is mainly recommended for hematologic malignancies. However, complications (such as graft-versus-host disease, mucositis, disease relapse, and infections) associated with the HSCT procedure contribute to the development of gut microbiota imbalance, gut-barrier disruption, and increased intestinal permeability. In the present narrative review, the crosstalk between gut microbiota products and intestinal homeostasis is discussed. Notably, gut-microbiota-related aspects have an impact on patients' clinical outcomes and overall survival. In accordance with the most recent published data, gut microbiota is crucial for the treatment effectiveness of many diseases, not only gastrointestinal cancers but also hematologic malignancies. Therefore, it is necessary to indicate a therapeutic method allowing to modulate gut microbiota in HSCT recipients. Currently, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is the most innovative method used to alter/restore gut microbiota composition, as well as modulate its activity. Despite the fact that some previous data have shown promising results, the knowledge regarding FMT in HSCT is still strongly limited, except for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection. Additionally, administration of prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics can also modify gut microbiota; however, this strategy should be considered carefully due to the high risk of fungemia/septicemia (especially in case of fungal probiotics).

Characterization of recurrent cytomegalovirus reactivations post allogenic stem cell transplantation in a population with high seropositivity.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study aimed to characterize incidences of CMV reactivations within one year post-allo-SCT and identify risk factors for CMV second reactivation episode in population with high seropositivity where first CMV reactivation episode deemed to be high.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 359 allo-SCT patients aged 14 and older admitted to a tertiary academic hospital. Data on demographic and clinical factors, CMV serostatus, conditioning regimens, graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, engraftment time, and CMV reactivations were collected.ResultsFirst and second CMV reactivations occurred in 88.9% and 18.4% of post-allo-SCT patients respectively. Patients were stratified into two groups based on primary disease necessitating allo-SCT, patients with malignant (Group 1) and non-malignant (Group 2) hematological disease. Factors associated with the second reactivation included cord blood as a stem cell source, human leukocyte antigen mismatch, acute graft-versus-host disease, and hematological malignancies. Patients with non-malignant hematological disease displayed better outcomes, including a higher rate of spontaneous clearance of first CMV reactivation (70% versus 49.4%) and lower rates of second CMV reactivation (9.6% versus 31%) than those with malignant hematological disease. The one-year overall survival rate was 87.7% (95.5% in non-malignant hematological disease and 78.13% in malignant hematological disease).ConclusionOur findings are concordant with previous local study in regard to high rate of first CMV reactivation post-allo-SCT. It appears that patients with nonmalignant hematological disease had better outcomes, such as lower second CMV reactivation and higher survival rates compared to patients with malignant hematological disease. Further investigation is needed to identify other factors affecting recurrent CMV reactivations in allo-SCT in patients with malignant hematological disease.

Autoantibodies against glutamate receptor δ2 after allogenic stem cell transplantation.

Project description:ObjectiveTo report on a Caucasian patient who developed steroid-responsive transverse myelitis, graft vs host disease of the gut, and anti-GluRδ2 after allogenic stem cell transplantation.MethodsHistoimmunoprecipitation (HIP) with the patient's serum and cryosections of rat and porcine cerebellum followed by mass spectrometry was used to identify the autoantigen. Correct identification was verified by indirect immunofluorescence using recombinant GluRδ2 expressed in HEK293 cells.ResultsThe patient's serum produced a granular staining of the cerebellar molecular layer (immunoglobulin G1 and immunoglobulin G3; endpoint titer: 1:1,000) but did not react with other CNS tissues or 28 established recombinant neural autoantigens. HIP revealed a unique protein band at ∼110 kDa that was identified as GluRδ2. The patient's serum also stained GluRδ2 transfected but not mock-transfected HEK293 cells. Control sera from 38 patients with multiple sclerosis, 85 patients with other neural autoantibodies, and 205 healthy blood donors were negative for anti-GluRδ2. Preadsorption with lysate from HEK293-GluRδ2 neutralized the patient's tissue reaction whereas control lysate had no effect. In addition to anti-GluRδ2, the patient's serum contained immunoglobulin G autoantibodies against the pancreatic glycoprotein CUZD1, which are known to be markers of Crohn disease.ConclusionsIn the present case, the development of anti-GluRδ2 was associated with transverse myelitis, which was supposedly triggered by the stem cell transplantation. Similar to encephalitis in conjunction with anti-GluRδ2 reported in a few Japanese patients, the patient's neurologic symptoms ameliorated after steroid therapy.

Effect of Early Post-Transplantation Tacrolimus Concentration on the Risk of Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease in Allogenic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Project description:Acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT). Tacrolimus (TAC), a calcineurin inhibitor that prevents T-cell activation, is commonly used as a GVHD prophylaxis. However, there is variability in the serum concentrations of TAC, and little is known on the impact of early TAC levels on aGVHD. We retrospectively analyzed 673 consecutive patients undergoing allo-HSCT at the Ohio State University between 2002 and 2016. Week 1 TAC was associated with a lower risk of aGVHD II-IV at TAC level ≥10.15 ng/mL (p = 0.03) compared to the lowest quartile. The cumulative incidence of relapse at 1, 3 and 5 years was 33%, 38% and 41%, respectively. TAC levels at week 2, ≥11.55 ng/mL, were associated with an increased risk of relapse (p = 0.01) compared to the lowest quartile. Subset analysis with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome patients showed significantly reduced aGVHD with TAC level ≥10.15 ng/mL at week 1 and a higher risk of relapse associated with week 2 TAC level ≥11.55 ng/mL (p = 0.02). Hence, achieving ≥10 ng/mL during the first week of HCT may mitigate the risk of aGVHD. However, levels (>11 ng/mL) beyond the first week may be associated with suppressed graft versus tumor effect and higher relapse.

Allogenic Stem Cell Transplantation Abrogates Negative Impact on Outcome of AML Patients with KMT2A Partial Tandem Duplication.

Project description:Recently, a new subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) presenting a direct partial tandem duplication (PTD) of the KMT2A gene was described. The consequences of this alteration in terms of outcome and response to treatment remain unclear. We analyzed retrospectively a cohort of KMT2A-PTD-mutated patients with newly diagnosed AML. With a median follow-up of 3.6 years, the median overall survival was 12.1 months. KMT2A-PTD-mutated patients were highly enriched in mutations affecting epigenetic actors and the RTK/RAS signaling pathway. Integrating KMT2A-PTD in ELN classification abrogates its predictive value on survival suggesting that this mutation may overcome other genomic marker effects. In patients receiving intensive chemotherapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) significantly improved the outcome compared to non-transplanted patients. In the multivariate analysis, only HSCT at any time in complete remission (HR = 2.35; p = 0.034) and FLT3-ITD status (HR = 0.29; p = 0.014) were independent variables associated with overall survival, whereas age was not. In conclusion, our results emphasize that KMT2A-PTD should be considered as a potential adverse prognostic factor. However, as KMT2A-PTD-mutated patients are usually considered an intermediate risk group, upfront HSCT should be considered in first CR due to the high relapse rate observed in this subset of patients.

Identifying High-Cost, High-Risk Patients Using Administrative Databases in Tuscany, Italy.

Project description:(1) Assessing the performance of the algorithm in terms of sensitivity and positive predictive value, considering General Practitioners' (GPs) judgement as benchmark, and (2) describing adverse events (hospitalisation, death, and health services' consumption) of complex patients compared to the general population.(i) Tuscany administrative database containing health data (2013-5); (ii) lists of complex patients indicated by GPs; and (iii) annual health registry of Tuscany.The present study is a validation study. It compares a list of complex patients extracted through an administrative algorithm (criteria of high health consumption) to a gold standard list of patients indicated by GPs. GPs' decision was subjective but fairly well reasoned. The study compares also adverse outcomes (Emergency Room visits, hospitalisation, and death) between identified complex patients and general population.Considering GPs' judgement, the algorithm showed a sensitivity of 72.8% and a positive predictive value of 64.4%. The complex cases presented here have higher incidence rates/100,000 (death 46.8; ER visits 223.2, hospitalisations 110.87, laboratory tests 1284.01, and specialist examinations 870.37) compared to the general population.The final validated algorithm showed acceptable sensitivity and positive predictive value.

CD34-Selected Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients with Relapsed, High-Risk Multiple Myeloma.

Project description:We report results of a retrospective analysis of 44 patients with relapsed and high-risk multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing allogeneic CD34-selected hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from HLA-compatible donors. Patients had multiply relapsed disease including relapse at <15 months after autologous transplantation and most patients (28 of 44; 65%) also had high-risk cytogenetics. Before transplantation, patients received busulfan (.8 mg/kg × 10 doses), melphalan (70 mg/m(2) × 2 days), fludarabine (25 mg/m(2) × 5 days), and rabbit antithymocyte globulin (2.5 mg/kg × 2 days). Patients with 10/10 HLA- matched donors were treated prophylactically with low doses of donor lymphocyte infusions (.5 to 1 × 10(6) CD3(+)/kg) starting 4 to 6 months after CD34-selected HSCT. Acute (grade II to IV) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and transplantation-related mortality at 12 months were 2% and 18%, respectively. Chronic GVHD was not observed in any patient. Overall and progression-free survival at 2 years were 54% and 31%, respectively. By multivariate analyses, the outcomes of CD34-selected HSCT were influenced by presence of extramedullary disease, disease status before CD34-selected HSCT, and age. This study demonstrates notable safety and efficacy of CD34-selected HSCT in patients with multiply relapsed MM, including those with high-risk cytogenetics.
