The use of cyclosporine-A/methotrexate (CyA/MTX) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis is safe and effective for patients undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation after preparation with cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation. We report 87 patients prepared for allogeneic transplant with busulfan 4 mg/kg/d orally for 4 days, followed by cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg/d intravenously for 2 days (Bu4Cy2). A marked increase in hepatotoxicity was observed in 20 patients administered CyA/MTX, compared with 67 historical control patients who received CyA/methylprednisolone (CyA/MP) for GVHD prophylaxis with all other treatment and support variables remaining constant. The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia (bilirubin greater than or equal to 2 mg/dL) increased from 48% to 80% (P = .02), and the mean maximal bilirubin increased from 4.67 +/- 7.27 to 8.72 +/- 8.73 mg/dL (P = .04), when CyA/MTX was used in place of CyA/MP for GVHD prophylaxis. In addition, the incidence of veno-occlusive disease (VOD) increased from 18% to 70% (P = .0001), and death caused by VOD increased from 4.5% to 25% (P = .02). Survival was not significantly different for the two groups because of a higher non-VOD death rate in patients receiving CyA/MP for GVHD prophylaxis (P = .77). We suggest caution when using Bu4Cy2 in combination with CyA/MTX for GVHD prophylaxis.

Abstract Abstract 4182 Introduction and methods: In two different study populations with sibling (SIB) or unrelated (URD) HLA-identical donors we evaluated the role of 48 different genes (table1) reported to have influence on the outcome of allogeneic transplant and compared them between the transplant settings. 314 patients and their HLA identical URD and 285 patients and their HLA-identical SIB donors were analyzed after T cell repleted myeloablative transplantation and use of GVHD-prophylaxis with only MTX and CSA or CSA and MMF. Patients were transplanted for acute leukemia, CML, MDS, lymphoma and MM between Jan. 2000 and June 2011 at our center. Results: In the URD-cohort the occurrence of acute GVHD grade 2–4 was influenced adversely by gene variants on recipient side of LTA (40% vs 28%, P=0.013), MBL2 codon550 (47% vs 31%, P= 0.03), MCP1 (69% vs 42%, p=0.03) and NFKBIL1 (51% vs 34%, P=0.02). Further, the occurrence of severe aGVHD 3–4 was influenced adversely by gene variants of MBL codon 550 (10% vs 23%, P= 0.025), MBL2 codon 4 (10% vs 36% P=0.04), LCT13910 (9% vs 26%, P= 0.04) and CYP1B1 (8% vs 20%; P=0.05). Favorable effect was induced by a gene variant of IL6 on aGVHD 3–4 (4% vs 19%, P=0.04) in the URD setting, whereas NOD2 gene variants, but none of these gene variants had influence on aGVHD in the SIB cohort. Further, we found that the rate of 5-year none-relapse mortality (NRM) was associated adversely with the detection of variants of IL16 (60% vs 34%, P=0.01) and MCP1 (58% vs 27%, P=0.02), which influenced the 5-year estimate for overall survival (OS) of patients (MCP1 40% vs 53%, P=0.01 and IL16 46% vs 28%, P=0.03) in the URD setting. On donor side the occurrence of aGVHD grade 2–4 was influenced by MBL2 codon4 (69% vs 32%, P= 0.007), TLR2 (66% vs 41%, P=0.02), TLR5 (75% vs 42%, P=0.041). AGVHD 3–4 was influenced by IL23R favorably (0% vs 20%, p=0.01) and adversely by IL18 (10% vs 36%; p= 0.01) in the URD setting. The 5-year NRM was associated with the detection of gene variants at donor side of CCR5 (53% vs 27%, p=0.01), CTLA4 (23% vs 44%, P=0.02), CYP1B1 (14% vs 26%, P=0.045), TLR2 (34% vs 66%, P=0.025). Also, IL10 gene variants at donor side influenced the 5-year OS significantly (23% vs 54%, p=0.03) as well as the gene variants TLR2 (28% vs 50%, P= 0.04), IL18 Rap (40% vs 72%, P= 0.03) and FAS (60% vs 36%, P=0.04). In SIB cohort the 5-year TRM was influenced by MTHFR677 (30% vs 19%, p=0.05) at recipient side, and at donor side by the genes IL18 Rap (39% vs 19%, p=0.046) and CYP1B1 (29% vs 16%,p=0.07). IL10 gene variants at recipients side influenced the 5-year OS, too. At donor side the 5-year OS was influenced by IL23R (54% vs 72%, p=0.04) and MBL2CD55 49% vs 65% p=0.02). In conclusion we report here that except IL23R and IL10 different panels of gene variants have influence on outcome of transplants from SIB donors compared to transplants from URD. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Background There is no information on the impact of donor type in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) using homogeneous graft-versus-host (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of adult patients with ALL in CR1 that had received HCT with PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis from HLA-matched sibling (MSD) (n = 78), matched unrelated (MUD) (n = 94) and haploidentical family (Haplo) (n = 297) donors registered in the EBMT database between 2010 and 2018. The median follow-up period of the entire cohort was 2.2 years. Results Median age of patients was 38 years (range 18–76). Compared to MSD and MUD, Haplo patients received peripheral blood less frequently. For Haplo, MUD, and MSD, the cumulative incidence of 100-day acute GVHD grade II–IV and III–IV, and 2-year chronic and extensive chronic GVHD were 32%, 41%, and 34% (p = 0.4); 13%, 15%, and 15% (p = 0.8); 35%, 50%, and 42% (p = 0.01); and 11%, 17%, and 21% (p = 0.2), respectively. At 2 years, the cumulative incidence of relapse and non-relapse mortality was 20%, 20%, and 28% (p = 0.8); and 21%, 18%, and 21% (p = 0.8) for Haplo, MUD, and MSD, respectively. The leukemia-free survival, overall survival and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival for Haplo, MUD, and MSD was 59%, 62%, and 51% (p = 0.8); 66%, 69%, and 62% (p = 0.8); and 46%, 44%, and 35% (p = 0.9), respectively. On multivariable analysis, transplant outcomes did not differ significantly between donor types. TBI-based conditioning was associated with better LFS. Conclusions Donor type did not significantly affect transplant outcome in patient with ALL receiving SCT with PTCy.
