Venetoclax or Ruxolitinib in Pre-Transplant Conditioning Lowers the Engraftment Barrier by Different Mechanisms in Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients.

ABSTRACT: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is utilised to cure haematological malignancies through a combination of conditioning regimen intensity and immunological disease control via the graft versus tumour (GVT) effect. Currently, conventional myeloablative chemotherapeutic or chemoradiation conditioning regimens are associated with significant side effects including graft versus host disease (GVHD), infection, and organ toxicity. Conversely, more tolerable reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens are associated with unacceptably higher rates of disease relapse, partly through an excess incidence of mixed chimerism. Improvement in post-alloSCT outcomes therefore depends on promotion of the GVT effect whilst simultaneously reducing conditioning-related toxicity. We have previously shown that this could be achieved through BCL-2 inhibition, and in this study, we explored the modulation of JAK1/2 as a strategy to lower the barrier to donor engraftment in the setting of RIC. We investigated the impact of short-term treatment of BCL2 (venetoclax) or JAK1/2 (ruxolitinib) inhibition on recipient natural killer and T cell immunity and the subsequent effect on donor engraftment. We identified striking differences in mechanism of action of these two drugs on immune cell subsets in the bone marrow of recipients, and in the regulation of MHC class-II and interferon-inducible gene expression, leading to different rates of GVHD. This study demonstrates that the repurposed use of ruxolitinib or venetoclax can be utilised as pre-transplant immune-modulators to promote the efficacy of alloSCT, whilst reducing its toxicity.

Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Following Ruxolitinib Discontinuation in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Recipients.

Project description:Ruxolitinib, a selective inhibitor of Janus kinases 1 and 2, is increasingly being used in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients following its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease. Although there is extensive experience using ruxolitinib for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, the biologic effects and clinical implications of its dosing, tapering, and discontinuation for allogeneic HCT recipients are incompletely characterized. We describe three allogeneic HCT recipients who developed acute hypoxemic respiratory failure within 3 months of ruxolitinib discontinuation. Radiographic findings included marked bilateral ground-glass opacities. Systemic corticosteroids and reinitiation of ruxolitinib resulted in rapid clinical improvement in all three patients. All three patients achieved a significant clinical response, with decrease in oxygen requirement and improvement in radiographic changes. Given the increasing use of ruxolitinib in allogeneic HCT recipients, there is significant impetus to characterize the biologic and clinical effects resulting from discontinuation of ruxolitinib, to better tailor treatment plans and prevent potential adverse effects.

Revisiting Cytomegalovirus Serology in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients.

Project description:BackgroundAllogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant recipients (allo-HCTRs) with positive cytomegalovirus (CMV) serology may have false-positive results due to blood product transfusion-associated passive immunity.MethodsThis single-center cohort study included allo-HCTRs with negative baseline (at malignancy diagnosis) CMV serology and indeterminate/low-positive (CMV IgG titer, ≥0.6-<50 U/mL) pretransplant CMV serology with negative pretransplant plasma CMV DNAemia. The CMV status of those patients was reclassified from R+ to R- (CMVR- reclassification group). We compared those patients to allo-HCTRs with negative (CMV IgG titer <0.6 U/mL) pretransplant CMV IgG (CMVR- group). We describe the number and type of patients whose pretransplant CMV status was reclassified from indeterminate/positive to negative. We reviewed all plasma CMV DNAemia tests performed during the first 6 months posttransplant in both groups to assess the safety of this approach.ResultsAmong 246 (84.5%) of 291 transplanted patients identified as CMVR+ pretransplant, 60 (24.4%) were reclassified from CMV serology indeterminate (N:10)/low-positive (N:50) to R-. Only 1 of 60 patients (1.67%) in the CMVR- reclassification group versus 3 of 44 (6.8%; P = .30) in the CMVR- group developed CMV DNAemia during the follow-up period. There were no significant differences in the number of CMV DNAemia tests performed, CMV DNAemia range, and time posttransplant between the 2 groups.ConclusionsOne of 4 allo-HCT CMVR+ may be falsely flagged as R+, with significant impact on donor selection and prophylaxis administration. A 2-step approach including CMV serology testing at hematologic malignancy diagnosis in allo-HCT candidates and careful review of pretransplant CMV IgG titers may help correctly classify CMV serology status.

Pretransplant Systemic Lipidomic Profiles in Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients.

Project description:Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is used in the treatment of high-risk hematological malignancies. However, this treatment is associated with severe treatment-related morbidity and mortality. The metabolic status of the recipient may be associated with the risk of development of transplant-associated complications such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). To better understand the impact of the lipidomic profile of transplant recipients on posttransplant complications, we evaluated the lipid signatures of patients with hematological disease using non-targeted lipidomics. In the present study, we studied pretransplant serum samples derived from 92 consecutive patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). A total of 960 lipid biochemicals were identified, and the pretransplant lipidomic profiles differed significantly when comparing patients with and without the risk factors: (i) pretransplant inflammation, (ii) early fluid overload, and (iii) patients with and without later steroid-requiring acute GVHD. All three factors, but especially patients with pretransplant inflammation, were associated with decreased levels of several lipid metabolites. Based on the overall concentrations of various lipid subclasses, we identified a patient subset characterized by low lipid levels, increased frequency of MDS patients, signs of inflammation, decreased body mass index, and an increased risk of early non-relapse mortality. Metabolic targeting has been proposed as a possible therapeutic strategy in allotransplant recipients, and our present results suggest that the clinical consequences of therapeutic intervention (e.g., nutritional support) will also differ between patients and depend on the metabolic context.

Rhinovirus Infections among Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: A Pre-Transplant Dilemma?

Project description:Respiratory viral infections (RVIs) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) recipients can be of concern due to the patients' depressed immune status, but few data are available about the significance of a pre-transplant positive testing. In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed a cohort of patients that were transplanted between 1 January 2010 and 31 October 2019 in the Geneva University Hospitals with at least one RVI before or after transplantation. At least one RVI was detected in 319/533 (63.5%) transplanted patients. Rhinoviruses were most frequently identified (37%), followed by human coronaviruses (17.1%), parainfluenza viruses (13.9%), and influenza viruses (9.9%). First infection in the post-transplant period occurred at a mean time of 334 days (SD 338). Specific analysis of a subgroup of 65 patients with pre-transplant RVIs was performed. Among them, 39 (59%) patients had symptoms and 14 (21.2%) had a lower respiratory tract infection. Four patients (6.1%) (three rhinovirus and one influenza) needed an intensive care unit admission, of which, three (4.5%) (two rhinovirus and one influenza) were intubated. The patient with influenza infection diagnosed the day of the transplantation died within the first 30 days of the infection. Two patients with rhinovirus infection died within 3 months of unrelated causes. Our data show that rhinovirus infections are predominant in allo-HSCT patients, including among pre-transplant infections; however, mortality due to pre-transplant RVI is low and was only clearly identified in one patient with influenza infection. RVI within the month preceding allo-HSCT is not associated with direct morbidity or mortality in this cohort.

Conditioning Intensity, Pre-Transplant Flow Cytometric Measurable Residual Disease, and Outcome in Adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.

Project description:How conditioning intensity is related to outcomes of AML patients undergoing allografting in morphologic remission is an area of great ongoing interest. We studied 743 patients in morphologic remission and known pre-transplant measurable residual disease (MRD) status determined by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) who received a first allograft after myeloablative, reduced intensity, or nonmyeloablative conditioning (MAC, RIC, and NMA). Overall, relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were longer after MAC than RIC or NMA conditioning, whereas relapse risks were not different. Among MRDpos patients, 3-year estimates of relapse risks and survival were similar across conditioning intensities. In contrast, among MRDneg patients, 3-year RFS and OS were longer for MAC (69% and 71%) than RIC (47% and 55%) and NMA conditioning (47% and 52%). Three-year relapse risks were lowest after MAC (18%) and highest after NMA conditioning (30%). Our data indicate an interaction between conditioning intensity, MFC-based pre-transplant MRD status, and outcome, with benefit of intensive conditioning primarily for patients transplanted in MRDneg remission. Differing from recent findings from other studies that indicated MAC is primarily beneficial for some or all patients with MRDpos pre-HCT status, our data suggest MAC should still be considered for MRDneg AML patients if tolerated.

Human Cytomegalovirus Latency and Reactivation in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients.

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) reactivation is a major infectious cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). HCMV is a ubiquitous beta-herpesvirus which asymptomatically infects immunocompetent individuals but establishes lifelong latency, with the potential to reactivate to a life-threatening productive infection when the host immune system is suppressed or compromised. Opportunistic HCMV reactivation is the most common viral complication following engraftment after HSCT and is associated with a marked increase in non-relapse mortality, which appears to be linked to complex effects on post-transplant immune recovery. This minireview explores the cellular sites of HCMV latency and reactivation in HSCT recipients and provides an overview of the risk factors for HCMV reactivation post-HSCT. The impact of HCMV in shaping post-transplant immune reconstitution and its relationship with patient outcomes such as relapse and graft-versus-host disease will be discussed. Finally, we survey current and emerging strategies to prevent and control HCMV reactivation in HSCT recipients, with recent developments including adoptive T cell therapies to accelerate HCMV-specific T cell reconstitution and new anti-HCMV drug therapy for HCMV reactivation after HSCT.

Challenges in Determining Genotypes for Pharmacogenetics in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients.

Project description:As part of a pharmacogenetic study, paired blood and oral fluid samples were tested for the IL28B polymorphism (rs12979860) before and after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to evaluate changes in the genotype and investigate the utility of genotyping in oral fluid in HCT recipients. In 54 patients with leukemia >18 years of age, samples were collected approximately 7 days before HCT and 60 days after HCT. IL28B polymorphism testing was performed using real-time PCR with allele-specific probes. Twenty-four patients had the same genotype as their donors. In 30 patients, the genotype was different from that of the donor. In the oral fluid samples, 4 retained the recipient's genotype, and 18 had a genotype that matched that of the donor. In the remaining 8 patients, the results could not be characterized and appeared to be a combination of both, suggesting mixed proportions of donor and recipient cells. The assumption was that the sloughed epithelial cells of the mouth are of recipient origin. However, oral fluid is a mixture that contains varying numbers of cells of the recipient and immunomodulatory cells from the donor. Therefore, the use of oral fluid after HCT for clinical pharmacogenetics purposes needs further investigation.
