The introduction of peripheral stem cell (PSC) and cord blood (CB) as an alternative to bone marrow (BM) recently has caused important changes on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) practice. According to the CIBMTR data, there has been a significant decrease in the use of bone marrow and increase in the use of PSC and CB as the stem cell source for HSCT performed during 1997–2006 period for patients under the age of 20. On the other hand, the stem cell source in 70% of the HSCT procedures performed for patients over the age of 20 was PSC and the second most preferred stem cell source was bone marrow. CB usage is very limited for the adult population. Primary disease, stage, age, time and urgency of transplantation, HLA match between the patient and the donor, stem cell quantity, and the experience of the transplantation center are some of the associated factors for the selection of the appropriate stem cell source. Unfortunately, there is no prospective randomized study aimed to facilitate the selection of the correct source between CB, PSC, and BM. In this paper, we would like to emphasize the data on stem cell selection in light of the current knowledge for patient populations according to their age and primary disease.

Abstract Purpose We report the outcomes of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) for the patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) in a single center. Patients and Methods Between August 1993 and March 2005, 36 patients with Ph+ALL received SCT at Tokyo Metropolitan Komagome Hospital. The median age was 41 years (range; 17 to 60 years). All patients received myeloablative conditioning regimen (cytosine arabinoside, cyclophosphamide and fractionated 12Gy total-body irradiation). Stem cell source of SCT was 14 related donors (bone marrow [n=9] and peripheral blood stem cell [n=5]) and 22 unrelated donors (bone marrow [n=13] and cord blood [n=9]). Results Seventeen (47%) of 36 patients are alive at a median of 2.16 years (range; 1.0 to 3.3 years) after transplantation. Three years overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) for all patients are 42.3% and 35.4%, respectively. Three years OS and DFS are 55.4% and 46.4% for the 24 patients in complete remission (CR) at transplantation, while 36.4% (p<0.001) and 16.7% (p<0.01) for the 12 patients in non-CR, respectively. Stem cell source and patients age do not affect the outcomes. The higher white blood cell counts at diagnosis are associated with poor OS (p=0.003). The median duration from diagnosis to SCT is 7 months (range; 3 to 29 months). Three years OS of the patients who received SCT within 7 months from diagnosis is better than that of the others (59.3% vs. 31.1%, p=0.019). Conclusion This analysis suggests that shorter duration between diagnosis and transplantation improve the clinical outcomes of SCT for Ph+ALL, especially performed in CR.

PURPOSE: Patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) usually require a prolonged hospital stay that varies greatly across patients. Limited information exists on the factors associated with hospital length of stay (LOS) after allo-HSCT and the impact on transplant-related costs. The objective of this study was to determine predictors for longer LOS for allo-HSCT and to assess their impact on the cost of transplant stay. METHODS: Using the National Inpatient Sample database, adult patients hospitalized for allo-HSCT were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, primary and secondary procedure codes. RESULTS: Between 2002 and 2015, 68,296 hospitalizations for allo-HSCT were identified. Peripheral blood was the most common stem-cell source (80%) followed by bone marrow (15%) and cord blood (5%). Median LOS was 25.8 days (interquartile range [IQR], 21-34.0 days), and the overall inpatient mortality rate was 8%. Stem-cell source was a significant predictor for longer LOS, being significantly longer for cord blood (median, 36.9 days; IQR, 26.7-49.9 days) compared with bone marrow (median, 27.2 days; IQR, 21.5-35.2 days) and peripheral blood (median 25.4 days; IQR, 20.8-32.7 days). Other predictors for longer LOS were patient characteristics such as age and race, transplant/post-transplant characteristics, and complications such as total body irradiation use, acute graft-versus-host disease, and infections. Longer LOS was also found to be associated with higher hospital costs. CONCLUSION: In patients who undergo allo-HSCT, LOS can be predicted using patient- and transplant-related characteristics as well as post-transplant complications. LOS is also a driver for increased cost, and further efforts are needed to mitigate transplant complications and resource utilization.

Abstract Introduction Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is an autosomal recessive disorder with progressive neurodegeneration caused by the mutation of ABCD1 gene and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) at its early stage is recognized as the only effective treatment modality to control the neurological symptoms. But the transplant outcome according to the conditioning regimen is not well understood so far. Here we analyzed the transplant outcome of patients with ALD using the clinical data accumulated in the Japan Society of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and tried to find the favorable conditioning regimen. Methods From 1988 to 2010, 76 patients with ALD were transplanted and their age at transplant was 1-34 years old (median 8). Stem cell sources the patients received were bone marrow (sibling 26, non-sibling related donor 5, unrelated volunteer donor 17), and cord blood (sibling 1, unrelated 28). Conditioning regimen was classified into four categories of A: busulfan + cyclophosphamide +/- others, (n=25), B: melphalan + total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) / thoraco-abdominal irradiation (TAI) +/- fludarabine +/- anti-thymocyte globulin (n=23), C: fludarabine + melphalan +low dose total body irradiation (TBI) (n=18), and D: others (n=10). Results Sustained engraftment was obtained in 59 patients (77.8%) and it was significantly higher in bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients than cord blood transplant (CBT) patients (87.8% vs 60.7%, P=0.001). The incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), chronic GVHD and treatment related mortality of all patients were 7.9%, 19.3%, and 11.9%, respectively. Ten year overall survival (OS) and event free survival (EFS) of all patients were 83.7% and 64.1%, respectively. Ten patients died of either disease progression (n=2), or transplant related complications (n=8). Five year OS and EFS according to the conditioning regimen was A: 91.6% and 75.8%, B: 85.7% and 60.9%, C: 100% and 83.3%, D: 77.8% and 48.0%, respectively and they were not significant (P=0.379 in OS and P=0.183 in EFS, respectively). TBI was given to 22 patients with median dose of 4Gy (range 2-10.2) and sustained engraftment was obtained in 19 patients and all of 22 patients are alive. In patients who were not given TBI (n=54), 41 patients obtained engraftment and 44 patients are alive. OS according to presence or absence of TBI was 100% with TBI (n=22) and 86.1% without TBI (n=54) (P=0.091). By multivariate analysis for EFS, BMT and TBI were identified as good prognostic factors compared to CBT or non-TBI (HR 3.303, P=0.005, and HR 3.257, P=0.038, respectively), but OS of CBT was improved after 2005 compared to before 2004 (94.7% vs 68.6%, P=0.090). Conclusion Our results showed that conditioning regimen which includes TBI, even at low dose could provide better transplant outcome and the result of CBT improved after 2005 even though it was proved to be a significantly poor risk factor in the analysis of entire cohort. CBT enables urgent SCT when family donor is not available, and immediate transplant is essential for patients with ALD because of its nature. More precise assessment with brain MRI and neuropsychological examination is mandatory to evaluate the transplant outcomes of patients with ALD. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Backgrounds: For more than 10 years, umbilical cord blood has become an alternative stem cell source for the patients with hematological malignancies requiring allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Cord blood transplantation (CBT) can be performed more quickly than other stem cell transplantation, since cord blood units are preserved in the deep freeze and 1–3 HLA mismatched donors are acceptable. Considering these advantage, we examined the feasibility of cord blood transplantation using reduced-intensity regimens (RI-CBT) for adult relapsed patients after allogeneic tranplantation. Patients/methods: We reviewed medical records of 26 patients who received RI-CBT at Toranomon Hospital between November 2003 and June 2006. Median age of the patients was 36 years (range, 20–66). Underlying diseases were acute leukemia (n=17), myelodysplastic syndrome (n=4) and lymphoma (n=5). The stem cell source of the first transplantation were bone marrow from sibling donor (n=2), bone marrow from unrelated (n=5) donor, peripheral blood stem cell from sibling donor (n=5) and unrelated cord blood (n=14). Conditioning regimens comprised fludarabine 125–180 mg/m2 in several combination with melphalan 80–140 mg/m2, Busulfan 8–16mg/kg and total body irradiation (TBI) (4–8 Gy). Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was cyclosporine (n=5) or tacrolimus (n=21). Median number of total nucleated cells and CD34+ cells was 2.56×106 cells/kg (1.91–5.94), and 0.86×105 cells/kg (0.57–1.77) respectively. HLA disparities were 5/6 (n=2), 4/6 (n=22), and 3/6 (n=2). Results: Median observation period was 58 days (range, 32–380). Overall survival for 1 year was 15% and 16 patients were died of disease progression (n=5) and infection (n=11). The infection in 4 patients was considered to be caused by regimen related toxicity (RRT). No grade IV toxicities (NCI-CTC Ver.3.0) were observed. The duration between two transplantations was longer in surviving patients compared to dead patients (98 days (range, 39–2108) and 262 days (range, 95–901), respectively), although significant difference was not detected. The stage of the disease in the second transplantation, conditioning regimens and HLA disparities did not influence to the outcome. Discussion: We demonstrated that RI-CBT could be an available and feasible treatment for the relapsed patients after stem cell transplantation. Moreover, the RRT is acceptable even in the patients with an advanced disease.

Abstract Patients with advanced chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in accelerate (AC) or blastic phase (BC) have a dismal prognosis despite the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Here we report our experience for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in advanced and phase of CML. Between July 1990 and May 2012 88 patients with a median age of 36 years (range 7-76) received allogeneic stem cell transplantation from related (n=34) or unrelated (n=54) donors , including 19 HLA-mismatched donors after myeloablative (n=54) or reduced intensity (n= 34) conditioning. Stem cell source was bone marrow (n=37) or peripheral blood stem cells (n=51). GvHD prophylaxis consisted of calcineurin inhibitor plus short course MTX or MMF. Most of the patient received additional ATG as GvHD prophylaxis (84%).The majority of patient (75%) received TKIs before ASCT. 50% received one TKI, 8 received 2 TKIs and 2 received 3 TKI before ASCT. At time of transplantation 34 patient achieved a second or subsequent chronic phase, 28 were in accelerate and 25 in blastic phase. Overall the median number of blasts at time of ASCT was 18.75% (range 5-58%) and the time from diagnosis to transplantation was 27 months (range 3-296). No primary graft failure was observed. The incidence of acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) grade II to IV was 43% and of severe grade III/IV GvHD was 28%. Forty-two percent of the patient experienced chronic GvHD. The non-relapse mortality (NRM) at 1 and 5 years was 22% (95% CI; 14-30%) and 23% (95%CI: 13-33%), respectively. In a multivariate analysis (MVA) only higher number of transplanted CD34+ cells were associated with a lower risk of NRM (HR 0.850, 95%CI: 0.729-0.992, p=0.04). The cumulative incidence of relapse at 5 years was 43% (95% CI: 31-55%). In a MVA age > 40 years (HR 2.272, 95%CI: 1.112-4.645, p=0.024) and Reduced intensity conditioning (HR 2.034, 95%CI: 0.998-4.144, p=0.051) were significant factors for higher risk of relapse. After a median follow-up of 91 months (r., 52-133) the estimated 5 and 10 year overall survival was 44% (95% CI: 32-56) and 40% (95% CI: 28-52%), respectively. In an univariate analysis overall survival was significantly influenced by stem cell source, gender, CD34 transplanted cell number and blastic phase at time of transplantation. However, the only significant factor for improved survival in a MVA was a higher number of transplanted CD34+ cells (HR 0.916, 95%CI: 0.844-0.916, p=0.038).
