Abstract:
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the sole curative therapy for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). In the absence of an HLA-matched sibling donor, an HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD) is considered the leading candidate. However, in recent decades, the alternative donor pool has been extended to HLA-haploidentical donors, especially with the development of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis using post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy). Comparative data for haploidentical and MUD allo-HCT in patients with MDS are scarce. We retrospectively analyzed 697 adult patients with MDS who underwent HLA-haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT) with PTCy (n = 136), MUD bone marrow transplantation (MUD-BMT) (n = 465), or MUD peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (MUD-PBSCT) (n = 96) as their first allo-HCT between 2014 and 2020 using Japanese registry data. Multivariable analyses demonstrated faster neutrophil engraftment (hazard ratio [HR], 2.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.65 to 2.90; P < .001) and platelet engraftment (HR, 2.31; 95% CI, 1.72 to 3.10; P < 0001) in the MUD-PBSCT cohort compared with the haplo-PBSCT cohort. MUD-BMT was associated with a higher incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD than haplo-PBSCT (HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.00 to 2.29; P = .048). Among patients without in vivo T cell depletion using antithymocyte globulin (ATG) (haplo-PBSCT, n = 136; MUD-BMT, n = 446; MUD-PBSCT, n = 65), MUD-PBSCT recipients experienced faster hematopoietic recovery, MUD-BMT recipients (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.32; P = .042) or MUD-PBSCT recipients (HR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.06 to 3.18; P = .03) had a higher incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD, and MUD-PBSCT recipients developed chronic GVHD more frequently than haplo-PBSCT recipients (HR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.04 to 2.89; P = .034). There were no significant differences in overall survival, disease-free survival, GVHD-free relapse-free survival, relapse, or nonrelapse mortality in the haplo-PBSCT cohort versus the MUD-BMT or MUD-PBSCT cohorts. In conclusion, despite differences in the incidences of hematopoietic engraftment and GVHD depending on graft type and ATG use in MUD transplant recipients, major transplantation outcomes were comparable between recipients of haplo-PBSCT using PTCy and recipients of MUD-BMT or MUD-PBSCT.
