Abstract HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (Haplo-HCT) using posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) has improved donor availability. However, a matched sibling donor (MSD) is still considered the optimal donor. Using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database, we compared outcomes after Haplo-HCT vs MSD in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1). Data from 1205 adult CR1 AML patients (2008-2015) were analyzed. A total of 336 patients underwent PT-Cy–based Haplo-HCT and 869 underwent MSD using calcineurin inhibitor–based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. The Haplo-HCT group included more reduced-intensity conditioning (65% vs 30%) and bone marrow grafts (62% vs 7%), consistent with current practice. In multivariable analysis, Haplo-HCT and MSD groups were not different with regard to overall survival (P = .15), leukemia-free survival (P = .50), nonrelapse mortality (P = .16), relapse (P = .90), or grade II-IV acute GVHD (P = .98). However, the Haplo-HCT group had a significantly lower rate of chronic GVHD (hazard ratio, 0.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.30-0.48; P < .001). Results of subgroup analyses by conditioning intensity and graft source suggested that the reduced incidence of chronic GVHD in Haplo-HCT is not limited to a specific graft source or conditioning intensity. Center effect and minimal residual disease–donor type interaction were not predictors of outcome. Our results indicate a lower rate of chronic GVHD after PT-Cy–based Haplo-HCT vs MSD using calcineurin inhibitor–based GVHD prophylaxis, but similar other outcomes, in patients with AML in CR1. Haplo-HCT is a viable alternative to MSD in these patients.

Abstract Abstract 526 In patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1), the indications for matched sibling donor (MSD) transplants and unrelated donor (URD) haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are different. We sought to determine the prognostic impact of donor type on the outcomes of AML with adverse risk karyotype in CR1, a high-risk AML population considered as a standard indication for MSD and URD HSCT. We evaluated the outcomes of 584 patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT for AML with adverse risk karyotype in CR1 between 1995 and 2006, reported to the CIBMTR. Adverse risk karyotype was defined according to SWOG/ECOG classification. Cytogenetics abnormalities were further classified as: complex karyotype (3 or more abnormalities), 32%; and Non-complex divided as abnormal chromosome 7, 25%; chromosome 5, 9%; MLL gene rearrangements, 18%; t (6;9), 5%; and others, 10%. 226 patients underwent MSD and 358 URD. URD were classified based on high resolution typing as:” well matched” [n=254 (71%)] with no known disparity at HLA A, B, C, DRB1; and, “partially matched” [n=104 (29%)] with one locus known or likely mismatched. Previous MDS was present in 19% and 14% had therapy-induced (t-AML). Conditioning regimens were myeloablative and reduced intensity in 74% and 26%, respectively. At 3 years treatment-related mortality (TRM) incidence was 28% (95% CI 24-31); relapse 36%(32-40); disease-free survival (DFS) 36%(32-41) and overall survival (OS) 39%(35-44). Multivariate analyses are summarized in the table. “Well matched” URD and MSD yielded similar DFS and OS, while outcomes were significantly inferior for “partially matched” URD. Cytogenetically defined subsets had similar outcomes. Evaluated as a time-dependent covariate, chronic GVHD had a significantly lower risk of relapse (RR 0.68, p=0.046), while acute GVHD had no effect (RR 0.99, p=0.96). “Well matched” URD and MSD lead to similar DFS and OS in AML CR1patients with adverse risk karyotype. The pool of patients who may benefit from graft-vs-leukemia effect generated with allogeneic HSCT may be considerably expanded with “well-matched” URD HSCT. If a suitable MSD is not availabel, “well-matched” URD should be strongly considered where a MSD HSCT would otherwise be undertaken. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

This study aimed to investigate graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) of haploidentical donor (HID) compared with HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD) for high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (H-AML) in first complete remission (CR1). One hundred and eighty-nine patients with H-AML in CR1 were enrolled in this multicentre prospective cohort study. Patients were assigned to groups transplanted with HID (n=83) or MSD (n=106) based on donor availability (biological randomization). The primary endpoint was the incidence of MRD positivity post-transplantation (post-MRD+). All post-MRD+ patients received preemptive interventions. The cumulative incidences of post-MRD+ were 18% and 42% in HID and MSD groups, respectively, (p<.001). Fifty-two patients received preemptive DLI, including 13 (16%) in HID and 39 cases (37%) in MSD groups (p=.001). Among HID and MSD groups, the 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse were 14% and 24% (p=0.101); the 3-year cumulative incidence of treatment-related mortality were 15% and 10% (p=0.368); the 3-year overall survival rates were 72% and 68% (p=0.687); the 3-year disease-free-survival were 71% and 66% (p=0.579); the 3-year graft-versus-host disease and relapse free survival were 63% and 43% (p=0.035), respectively. HID has a stronger GVL than MSD in H-AML patients. HID transplantation as post-remission therapy should be recommended as one of the optimal choices for H-AML in CR1.
