Résumé

The use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is highly effective in preventing graft versus host disease (GVHD) for haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). There is limited data on the role of PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis in matched-sibling and fully matched-unrelated donor (MSD/MUD) allo-HSCT. Our single-center retrospective study aims to compare outcomes of PTCy alone or in combination with mycophenolate mofetil and tacrolimus (PTCy/MMF/TAC) relative to methotrexate and tacrolimus (MTX/TAC). The primary endpoint of our study was GVHD-free, relapse free survival (GRFS). Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS), and incidence of severe acute and chronic GVHD. We identified 74 adult patients who underwent MSD/MUD allo-HSCT at our institution from 2015 to 2023. Within our cohort, 33.8% (n = 25) received MTX/TAC, while 54.0% (n = 40) received PTCy/MMF/TAC, and 12.2% (n = 9) received PTCy alone. Patients receiving PTCY had the longest time to neutrophil engraftment relative to MTX/TAC (15 days vs. 12 days, P = .010). PTCy/MMF/TAC was associated with improved GRFS relative to MTX/TAC (hazard ratio [HR] = HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.19-0.93, P = .031), which persisted when controlling for age. Incidence of chronic GVHD was lower in the PTCy/MMF/TAC group compared to MTX/TAC (1-year 9.0% vs. 30.1%, HR 0.19, 95% CI 0.06-0.59, P = .005). However, OS and DFS were comparable across all groups. Our results demonstrate decreased rates of severe chronic GVHD resulting in improved GRFS when using PTCy/TAC/MTX as GVHD prophylaxis compared to MTX/TAC in MSD/MUD.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is highly effective in preventing graft versus host disease (GVHD) for haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). There is limited data on the role of PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis in matched-sibling and fully matched-unrelated donor (MSD/MUD) allo-HSCT.
METHODS METHODS
Our single-center retrospective study aims to compare outcomes of PTCy alone or in combination with mycophenolate mofetil and tacrolimus (PTCy/MMF/TAC) relative to methotrexate and tacrolimus (MTX/TAC). The primary endpoint of our study was GVHD-free, relapse free survival (GRFS). Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS), and incidence of severe acute and chronic GVHD. We identified 74 adult patients who underwent MSD/MUD allo-HSCT at our institution from 2015 to 2023.
RESULTS RESULTS
Within our cohort, 33.8% (n = 25) received MTX/TAC, while 54.0% (n = 40) received PTCy/MMF/TAC, and 12.2% (n = 9) received PTCy alone. Patients receiving PTCY had the longest time to neutrophil engraftment relative to MTX/TAC (15 days vs. 12 days, P = .010). PTCy/MMF/TAC was associated with improved GRFS relative to MTX/TAC (hazard ratio [HR] = HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.19-0.93, P = .031), which persisted when controlling for age. Incidence of chronic GVHD was lower in the PTCy/MMF/TAC group compared to MTX/TAC (1-year 9.0% vs. 30.1%, HR 0.19, 95% CI 0.06-0.59, P = .005). However, OS and DFS were comparable across all groups.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Our results demonstrate decreased rates of severe chronic GVHD resulting in improved GRFS when using PTCy/TAC/MTX as GVHD prophylaxis compared to MTX/TAC in MSD/MUD.
