Abstract Background: Mismatches between donor and recipient for human platelet antigens (HPA) may affect the success of transplantation due to: a) serving as minor histocompatibility antigens and therefore render recipients at risk for GvHD, b) inhibition of thrombopoiesis due to platelet antibodies. Patients and Methods: We evaluated in 54 patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSC T) from HLA matched siblings after a myeloablative conditioning regimen the occurrence of GvHD, transplant related mortality (TRM), and the need of platelet support by prospective analyzes of donor-recipient pairs for HPA -1, -2, -3, and -5 allotypes. Patients were screened for platelet antibodies prior to transplantation and in weekly intervals until day 100 after transplantation. Forty five patients receiving HSCT from related or unrelated donors after a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen (RIC) were enrolled retrospectively after a median observation time of 372 days. Results: Neither the incidence of GvHD and TRM, nor the onset of thrombopoiesis, nor the CCI after platelet transfusions, nor the frequency of platelet transfusions were affected by HPA mismatches. TRM among patients receiving a RIC was higher when grafts were from unrelated donors with 2 or more mismatches. Six of 7 patients who died due to TRM had 2 mismatches in the HPA system, although TRM was not significantly associated with mismatched HPA (p = 0.06). However, within donor-recipient pairs with more than one HPA mismatch TRM occurred when grafts were from unrelated donors (p = 0.03). Conclusion: Thus, the HPA match does not affect the success of transplantation.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) preconditioning intensity, donor choice, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis for advanced myelofibrosis (MF) have not been fully elucidated. Thirty-five patients with advanced MF were treated with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allo-HCT. We searched for matched sibling (n=16) followed by matched (n=10) or mismatched (n=5) unrelated and familial mismatched donors (n=4). Preconditioning regimen consisted of fludarabine (total 150 mg/m2) and busulfan (total 6.4 mg/kg) with total body irradiation≤ 400cGy. All showed engraftments, but four (11.4%) showed either leukemic relapse (n=3) or delayed graft failure (n=1). Two-year overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 60.0% and 29.9%, respectively. Acute GVHD was observed in 19 patients, and grade III-IV acute GVHD was higher with HLA-mismatch (70% vs. 20%, p=0.008). Significant hepatic GVHD was observed in nine patients (5 acute, 4 chronic), and six of them died. Multivariate analysis revealed inferior OS with HLA-mismatch (HR=6.40, 95%CI 1.6-25.7, p=0.009) and in patients with high ferritin level at post-HCT D+21 (HR=7.22, 95%CI 1.9-27.5, p=0.004), which were related to hepatic GVHD and high NRM. RIC allo-HCT can be a valid choice for advanced MF. However, HLA-mismatch and high post-HCT ferritin levels related to significant hepatic GVHD should be regarded as poor-risk parameters.
