Unrelated Cord Blood Transplantation in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults with Acute Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome: A Retrospective Comparative Study from the French Society for Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Between Real-World Data and Previously Reported Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial

International audienceWe previously reported results of a French randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing the risk of transplantation failure (including transplant-related mortality [TRM], engraftment failure, and autologous recovery) in single and double unrelated cord blood (UCB) transplantation in children and young adults with hematologic malignancies. We concluded that single-UCB transplantation with an adequate cell dose is the standard of care, leading to a 70% two-year overall survival (OS). It remains unclear, however, whether RCT participants have better outcomes than comparable patients not treated in the setting of a clinical trial. We compared the characteristics and outcomes of RCT participants (n = 137) to a Francophone population-based registry of patients (real-world [RW] group) fulfilling the eligibility criteria used in our RCT and transplanted with 1 or 2 UCB units after a myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen between March 2015 (end of inclusion in the RCT) and February 2019 (n = 141). The primary endpoint was the 2-year cumulative incidence (CI) of transplantation strategy failure as defined in our RCT. The 2 groups were comparable in terms of age, disease distribution, hematologic status at transplantation, follow-up, and HLA compatibility. Patients in the RW group were more likely to be transplanted with a single-unit UCB (87.9% versus 49.6%, P< .001) and to receive a radiation-free regimen (39.0% versus 60.6%, P< .001). The 2-year CI of transplantation strategy failure, TRM, and the 2-year probability of OS were similar between the 2 groups, although the relapse risk was higher in the RW group (31.2% ± 7.7% versus 20.4% ± 6.8%, P= .01), resulting in a significantly lower disease-free survival (DFS) (59.2% ± 8.4% versus 69.3% ± 8.0%, P= .047). This difference remained statistically significant only in the group of patients with acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) who did not receive the conditioning regimen recommended by the RCT (fludarabine 75 mg/m2, total body irradiation 12 Gy, cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg). The results of our RCT appear to be reproducible in real-world conditions, provided that the same cord blood selection criteria and conditioning regimen are used

The Impact of Donor Type on Long-Term Health Status and Quality of Life after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Childhood Acute Leukemia: A Leucemie de l'Enfant et de L'Adolescent Study

International audienceWe compared the long-term impact of donor type (sibling donor [SD] versus matched unrelated donor [MUD] or umbilical cord blood [UCB]) on late side effects and quality of life (QoL) in childhood acute leukemia survivors treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We included 314 patients who underwent transplantation from 1997 to 2012 and were enrolled in the multicenter French Leucemie de l'Enfant et de L'Adolescent ("Leukemia in Children and Adolescents") cohort. More than one-third of the patients were adults at last visit; mean follow-up duration was 6.2 years. At least 1 late effect was observed in 284 of 314 patients (90.4%). The average number of adverse late effects was 2.1 +/- 1, 2.4 +/- 2, and 2.4 +/- 2 after SD, MUD, and UCB transplantation, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, considering the SD group as the reference, we did not detect an impact of donor type for most sequelae, with the exception of increased risk of major growth failure after MUD transplantation (odds ratio [OR], 2.42) and elevated risk of osteonecrosis after UCB transplantation (OR, 4.15). The adults and children's parents reported comparable QoL among the 3 groups. Adult patient QoL scores were lower than age- and sex-matched French reference scores for almost all dimensions. We conclude that although these patients are heavily burdened by long-term complications, donor type had a very limited impact on their long-term health status and QoL

Association of Matched-Sibling Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation with Transcranial-Doppler Velocities in Children with Sickle Cell Anemia

International audienceImportance: In children with sickle cell anemia (SCA), high transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities are associated with stroke risk, which is reduced by chronic transfusion. Whether matched sibling donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MSD-HSCT) can reduce velocities in patients with SCA is unknown.Objective: To determine the association of MSD-HSCT with TCD velocities as a surrogate for the occurrence of ischemic stroke in children with SCA.Design, Setting, and Participants: Nonrandomized controlled intervention study conducted at 9 French centers. Patients with SCA were enrolled between December 2010 and June 2013, with 3-year follow-up ending in January 2017. Children with SCA were eligible if younger than 15 years, required chronic transfusions for persistently elevated TCD velocities, and had at least 1 sibling without SCA from the same 2 parents. Families agreed to HLA antigen typing and transplantation if a matched sibling donor was identified or to standard care in the absence of a matched sibling donor.Exposures: MSD-HSCT (n = 32), compared with standard care (n = 35) (transfusions for ≥1 year with potential switch to hydroxyurea thereafter), using propensity score matching.Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was the highest time-averaged mean of maximum velocities in 8 cerebral arteries, measured by TCD (TCD velocity) at 1 year. Twenty-five of 29 secondary outcomes were analyzed, including the highest TCD velocity at 3 years and normalization of velocities (<170 cm/s) and ferritin levels at 1 and 3 years.Results: Sixty-seven children with SCA (median age, 7.6 years; 35 girls [52%]) were enrolled (7 with stroke history). In the matched sample, highest TCD velocities at 1 year were significantly lower on average in the transplantation group (129.6 cm/s) vs the standard care group (170.4 cm/s; difference, -40.8 cm/s [95% CI, -62.9 to -18.6]; P < .001). Of the 25 analyzed secondary end points, 4 showed significant differences, including the highest TCD velocity at 3 years (112.4 cm/s in the transplantation group vs 156.7 cm/s in the standard care group; difference, -44.3 [95% CI, -71.9 to -21.1]; P = .001); normalization rate at 1 year (80.0% in the transplantation group vs 48.0% in the standard care group; difference, 32.0% [95% CI, 0.2% to 58.6%]; P = .045); and ferritin levels at 1 year (905 ng/mL in the transplantation group vs 2529 ng/mL in the standard care group; difference, -1624 [95% CI, -2370 to -879]; P < .001) and 3 years (382 ng/mL in the transplantation group vs 2170 ng/mL in the standard care group; difference, -1788 [95% CI, -2570 to -1006]; P < .001).Conclusions and Relevance: Among children with SCA requiring chronic transfusion because of persistently elevated TCD velocities, MSD-HSCT was significantly associated with lower TCD velocities at 1 year compared with standard care. Further research is warranted to assess the effects of MSD-HSCT on clinical outcomes and over longer follow-up
