Survival Rate and Prognostic Factors Among Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Using the Joint Model

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the most effective of all hematologic malignancies treatments, resulting in a significant improvement in survival rate. Objectives: This study aimed at determining the survival rate and factors affecting the survival in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, using the joint model. Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study, used for collecting data from patients with hematopoietic malignancies who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in Taleghani Hospital (Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences), Tehran, Iran during the years 2007 and 2015 and were followed up till 2017. A Bayesian joint model of longitudinal and survival was chosen, using Win Bugs software. Results: A total of 395 patients were enrolled. The median overall survival was 6.3 years (95% CI (5.86, 6.76)). Eighty-one patients had died. The obtained results from this study manifested that age (HR: 1.02, 95% CI: (1.002, 1.04)) and pre-transplantation relapse (HR = 1.64, 95% CI: (1.09, 2.4)) have incremental impact on death after transplantation, while malignancy type (NHL (HR: 0.33, 95%CI: (0.152, 0.73)) and AML (HR: 0.62, 95% CI: (0.29, 0.7)) are also effective in reducing death after transplantation. Similarly, the correlation index between longitudinal and survival models proved to be significant (HR: 0.6, 95% CI: (0.0802, 0.37)). Conclusions: This study showed that age, per-transplantation relapse, and malignancy type are the effective factors in the survival rate. Moreover, the link parameter between longitudinal response (WBC) and the survival indicated that an increase in WBC count leads to a decrease in the death risk.

Abstract ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) for treatment of malignant infantile osteopetrosis (MIOP) and intermediate osteopetrosis.MethodsChildren with MIOP and IOP who underwent haplo-HSCT in Beijing Children’s Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2010 to May 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Data relating to the clinical manifestations, engraftment, and prognosis of the children were extracted from medical records. ResultsTwenty-seven patients, including 18 males and 9 females, with an onset age of 12 (0.04-72) months, were enrolled in this study. The median time from diagnosis to transplantation was 4 (1-23) months. All patients received haplo-HSCT with myeloablative conditioning regimen (including fludarabine, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide). The graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was based on anti-human T lymphocyte porcine immunoglobulin /anti-human thymus globulin, methotrexate, and mycophenolate mofetil. The median observation time was 55.2 (0.3-126.2) months. By the end of follow-up, twenty patients survived and seven patients died. The five years overall survival rate was 73.9%. Acute GVHD degree I-II was observed in 20 patients, degree III in 1 patient and without degree IV. Chronic GVHD was observed in 11 patients (40.7%). It was controlled by anti-GVHD therapy.ConclusionHaplo-HSCT was effective for MIOP and IOP, with high survival rate and significantly improved of clinical symptoms. For the patients with vision impairment before HSCT, the improvement was slow after transplantation. The incidence of GVHD was high but mild, and could be effectively controlled after appropriate treatment. These data provided that haplo-HSCT was feasible in the treatment of MIOP and IOP.

Aim. To analyze the effectiveness of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from a related HLA-identical donor in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Materials and methods. From 2013 to 2018, the study included 8 patients (6 men, 2 women) aged from 27 to 55 years (median 39 years) with MM who underwent allo-HSCT from a related HLA-identical donor (7 patients after auto-HSCT, in 1 case without previous auto-transplantation). All patients required 2 or more lines of induction therapy, while the achieved antitumor effect was unstable. Before allo-HSCT, complete and very good partial remission was determined in isolated cases, in 4 patients the response was regarded as partial remission, stabilization in 1 observation, progression in 1 patient. All patients underwent reduced intensity conditioning (fludarabine 30 mg/m2 6 days + busulfan 4 mg/kg 2 days). Immunosuppressive therapy included the administration of antithymocyte globulin and post-transplant cyclophosphamide. Results. Severe acute GVHD (grade 34) was observed in 3 (37.5%) cases, which resulted in death in 1 case. A stable antitumor response was achieved in 5 (62.5%) patients, complete remission lasts for 2986 months after allo-HSCT. Specific therapy for these patients is not carried out. The 7-year progression-free survival rate was 75%, the 7-year overall survival rate was 84%, with a median follow-up of 65 months. The transplant-related mortality was 12.5%. Conclusion. Allo-HSCT is considered as an alternative method of therapy for young patients with aggressive MM. Allo-HSCT in MM in some cases leads to long-term immunological control of the tumor.
