PURPOSE To determine risk factors of umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) for patients with lymphoid malignancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated 104 adult patients (median age, 41 years) who underwent unrelated donor UCBT for lymphoid malignancies. UCB grafts were two-antigen human leukocyte antigen-mismatched in 68%, and were composed of one (n = 78) or two (n = 26) units. Diagnoses were non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL, n = 61), Hodgkins lymphoma (HL, n = 29), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, n = 14), with 87% having advanced disease and 60% having experienced failure with a prior autologous transplant. Sixty-four percent of patients received a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen and 46% low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI). Median follow-up was 18 months. RESULTS Cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment was 84% by day 60, with greater engraftment in recipients of higher CD34(+) kg/cell dose (P = .0004). CI of non-relapse-related mortality (NRM) was 28% at 1 year, with a lower risk in patients treated with low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI; P = .03). Cumulative incidence of relapse or progression was 31% at 1 year, with a lower risk in recipients of double-unit UCBT (P = .03). The probability of progression-free survival (PFS) was 40% at 1 year, with improved survival in those with chemosensitive disease (49% v 34%; P = .03), who received conditioning regimens containing low-dose TBI (60% v 23%; P = .001), and higher nucleated cell dose (49% v 21%; P = .009). CONCLUSION UCBT is a viable treatment for adults with advanced lymphoid malignancies. Chemosensitive disease, use of low-dose TBI, and higher cell dose were factors associated with significantly better outcome.

Tumor lysis syndrome may represent a life-threatening complication during induction chemotherapy of acute myeloid leukemia. This study shows that pretreatment elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase, increased serum creatinine, high uric acid, and markedly elevated white blood cell counts represent independent risk factors for this complication. See related perspective on page 9. Background Despite the prophylactic use of allopurinol, tumor lysis syndrome (TLS)-related morbidity and mortality still occur in a number of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The aim of this study was: (i) to analyze the incidence and outcome of TLS in a large series of patients with AML receiving hyperhydration and allopurinol, (ii) to identify risk factors for TLS, and (iii) to develop a prognostic scoring system for estimating individual risk of TLS. Design and Methods The study included 772 adult patients with AML receiving induction chemotherapy between 1980 and 2002. TLS was divided into laboratory TLS (LTLS) or clinical TLS (CTLS). The population study was randomly divided into training and test subsets, so that a prognostic model for CTLS was developed in one set and validated in the other. Results Overall, 130 patients (17%) developed TLS (5% CTLS and 12% LTLS). Unlike LTLS, CTLS was associated with a higher rate of death from induction therapy. Multivariate analysis showed that pretreatment serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels above laboratory normal values, creatinine >1.4 mg/dL, uric acid >7.5 mg/dL and white blood cell (WBC) counts >25 × 109/L were independent risk factors for CTLS and LTLS. The scoring system, based on pretreatment WBC counts, and uric acid and LDH serum levels, had excellent discrimination and was accurate for predicting CTLS and LTLS. Conclusions TLS is frequently observed in AML patients during induction therapy. Only the development of CTLS had an impact on higher mortality rate from induction therapy. The scoring system derived from this study can be used to obtain an accurate estimate of the individual risk of TLS, allowing for risk-adapted prophylaxis against this complication.

Attempts to optimize outcomes in cord blood transplantation (CBT) by using new conditioning regimens and standardization of cord blood unit selection are warranted. In all, 88 patients (18 children and 70 adults) with hematological malignancy from nine Spanish institutions underwent a single-unit CBT after an i.v. BU-based myeloablative conditioning regimen. All evaluable patients except one engrafted. The overall cumulative incidence (CI) of myeloid engraftment was 94% at a median time of 19 days. In multivariate analysis, nonadvanced disease stage was the only factor with a favorable impact on myeloid engraftment. The CI of acute GVHD grades II–IV and chronic extensive GVHD were 24% each. The CI of nonrelapse mortality at 100 days, 180 days and 5 years was 14, 23 and 44%, respectively. The 5-year CI of relapse was 18%, whereas disease-free survival (DFS) was 46%, 39% and 11% for patients transplanted in early, intermediate and advanced stages of the disease, respectively. Our study shows high rates of engraftment with fast neutrophil recovery in patients undergoing single-unit CBT using a BU-based conditioning regimen. Long-term DFS can be achieved in a substantial number of patients with high-risk hematological malignancies, particularly when transplanted in an early stage of the disease.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is still not well characterized. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and risk factors for the development of AIHA, as well as its prognosis and response to treatment in a series of patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT at a single institution. Between 1996 and 2004, 272 adult patients with a variety of malignant hematopoietic disorders underwent allogeneic HSCT. Direct antiglobulin testing was performed in routine pretransfusion compatibility testing or after clinical suspicion of AIHA. Twelve patients developed AIHA after HSCT at a median time of 147 days (range, 41–170). The 3-year cumulative incidence of AIHA was 4.44%. Eight cold antibodies and four warm antibodies were detected. Multivariate analysis shows that HSCT from unrelated donors (P=0.02) and the development of chronic extensive graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (P=0.0004) were the only independent factors associated with AIHA. Two patients are still alive. AIHA was never the primary cause of death but added morbidity in patients with other concomitant complications. Patients undergoing HSCT from unrelated donors and those who develop chronic extensive GVHD are especially predisposed for this complication.

Outcomes after unmanipulated haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo) and after unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) are encouraging and have become alternative options to treat patients with high-risk acute leukemia without human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched donor. We compared outcomes after UCBT and Haplo in adults with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Median follow-up was 24 months. Analysis was performed separately for patients with AML, n=918 (Haplo=360, UCBT=558) and ALL, n=528 (Haplo=158 and UCBT=370). UCBT was associated with delayed engraftment and higher graft failure in both AML and ALL recipients. In multivariate analysis, UCBT was associated with lower incidence of chronic graft-vs-host disease both in the AML group (hazard ratio (HR)=0.63, P=0.008) and in the ALL group (HR=0.58, P=0.01). Not statistically significant differences were observed between Haplo and UCBT for relapse incidence (HR=0.95, P=0.76 for AML and HR=0.82, P=0.31 for ALL), non-relapse mortality (HR=1.16, P=0.47 for AML and HR=1.23, P=0.23 for ALL) and leukemia-free survival (HR 0.78, P=0.78 for AML and HR=1.00, P=0.84 for ALL). There were no statistically differences on main outcomes after unmanipulated Haplo and UCBT, and both approaches are valid for acute leukemia patients lacking a HLA matched donor. Both strategies expand the donor pool for patients in need.

Clinical studies focused on disease-specific outcomes of cord blood transplant (CBT) from unrelated donors are limited. We analyzed the outcome and prognostic factors of 49 adults with high-risk acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) receiving single-unit CBT from unrelated donors after myeloablative (MA) conditioning at a single institution. Conditioning regimens were based on the combination of thiotepa, busulfan (Bu), cyclophospamide (Cy), or fludarabine (Flu), and antithymocyte globulin (ATG). Cumulative incidence of myeloid and platelet engraftment was 96% and 73% at a median time of 20 and 62 days, respectively. Engraftment was significantly faster for patients receiving higher doses of CD34(+) cells. Confidence Interval of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), acute GVHD (aGVHD) grade II-IV, III-IV, and extensive chronic GVHD (cGVHD) were 26%, 15%, and 30%, respectively. Leukemia-free survival (LFS), nonrelapse mortality (NRM), and relapse at 2 years were 42%, 39%, and 19%, respectively. Low number of total nucleated cells (TNC) had a negative impact on NRM and LFS. Patients transplanted in first complete remission (CR1) receiving TNC above 2 x 10(7)/kg had a 4-year LFS of 75%. These results show that CBT from unrelated donors is a curative treatment for a substantial number of patients with high-risk AML, particularly if transplant is performed with highly cellular units in patients in first CR.

We report outcomes after single (s) and double (d) umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) after myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen for 239 patients transplanted for acute leukemia in first complete remission (CR1). All sUCBT patients received a total nucleated cell dose >2.5 × 107/kg. Conditioning regimen for sUCBT was total body irradiation (TBI)12 Gy- or busulfan (BU)-based±fludarabine (Flu) (n=68, group 1), thiotepa+BU+Flu (TBF) (n=88, group 2), and for dUCBT it was TBI12 Gy+cyclophosphamide±Flu (n=83, group 3). dUCBT recipients were younger, received higher cell dose and less frequently antithymocyte globulin. In multivariate analysis, we found similar neutrophil recovery among the three groups; however, acute graft-versus-host disease II–IV was higher in dUCBT compared with others. Non-relapse mortality and relapse incidence were not statistically different among the three groups. Leukemia-free survival was 30% for sUCBT using TBI- or BU-based MAC compared with 48% for sUCBT TBF and 48% for dUCBT (P=0.02 and P=0.03, respectively), and it was not statistically different between sUCBT with TBF and dUCBT. In conclusion, use of sUCBT with adequate cell dose (>2.5 × 107/kg) and a specific conditioning regimen in the MAC setting results in similar outcomes as dUCBT. The choice of TBF conditioning regimen for sUCBT may improve results, and whether this regimen may be effective in dUCBT should be further analyzed.

Accumulated evidence demonstrates the existence of bone marrow-derived cells origin in the endometria of women undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT). In these reports, cells of a bone marrow (BM) origin are able to differentiate into endometrial cells, although their contribution to endometrial regeneration is not yet clear. We have previously demonstrated the functional relevance of side population (SP) cells as the endogenous source of somatic stem cells (SSC) in the human endometrium. The present work aims to understand the presence and contribution of bone marrow-derived cells to the endometrium and the endometrial SP population of women who received BMT from male donors. Five female recipients with spontaneous or induced menstruations were selected and their endometrium was examined for the contribution of XY donor-derived cells using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), telomapping and SP method investigation. We confirm the presence of XY donor-derived cells in the recipient endometrium ranging from 1.7% to 2.62%. We also identify 0.45–0.85% of the donor-derived cells in the epithelial compartment displaying CD9 marker, and 1.0–1.83% of the Vimentin-positive XY donor-derived cells in the stromal compartment. Although the percentage of endometrial SP cells decreased, possibly being due to chemotherapy applied to these patients, they were not formed by XY donor-derived cells, donor BM cells were not associated with the stem cell (SC) niches assessed by telomapping technique, and engraftment percentages were very low with no correlation between time from transplant and engraftment efficiency, suggesting random terminal differentiation. In conclusion, XY donor-derived cells of a BM origin may be considered a limited exogenous source of transdifferentiated endometrial cells rather than a cyclic source of BM donor-derived stem cells.

CBV and BEAM are the two most frequently used regimens for patients with lymphoma undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). This study compared their morbidity and transplant-related mortality (TRM) in 113 patients with non-Hodgkins lymphoma (69) and Hodgkins disease (44) undergoing ASCT between 1990 – 2004. CBV (cyclophosphamide, 6000 mg m−2; VP-16, 750 mg m−2; and high-dose BCNU, 800 mg m−2) was administered to 75 patients and 38 received BEAM (BCNU, 300 mg m−2; VP-16, 800 mg m−2; cytarabine, 800 mg m−2; melphalan, 140 mg m−2). Patients in the BEAM group had a significantly higher median age (p = 0.002) and were more heavily treated before ASCT (p = 0.003). More patients showed active disease at transplant in the BEAM group (p = 0.04). Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) was more frequent in the CBV group (11% vs 0%, p = 0.048). There were 20 (18%) transplant-related deaths, 18 in the CBV and two in the BEAM group. Infectious complications (12 patients, seven with pneumonia) and SOS (four) were the most frequent causes of death. The cumulative incidences of TRM were 25% in the CBV and 7% in the BEAM group (p = 0.02). CBV thus produced a higher incidence of SOS and TRM than BEAM in this series.

There is no information on the efficacy and safety of anticytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis with intravenous ganciclovir or oral valganciclovir after unrelated cord-blood transplantation (UCBT). This issue was addressed in 151 adults (117 CMV-seropositive) undergoing UCBT at a single institution. The first 38 CMV-seropositive recipients were assigned to receive prophylactic ganciclovir, and the next 79 were given valganciclovir after engraftment. The cumulative incidence (CI) of CMV infection and disease was similar in patients receiving valganciclovir or ganciclovir (59% versus 55%, P = .59; and 9% versus 18%, P = .33, respectively). The toxicity profile and CI of nonrelapse mortality (CMV) and infection-related mortality did not differ between drugs. Patients receiving valganciclovir required fewer visits to the day hospital (P = .04). The CI of CMV infection and disease in 34 CMV-seronegative recipients was 12% and 6%, indicating that tight CMV monitoring is mandatory in this subset. The recipients CMV serostatus, acute and extensive chronic graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD, cGVHD) were the main risk factors for CMV infection, and aGVHD for CMV disease. This study suggests that prophylaxis with oral valganciclovir is as safe and effective as intravenous ganciclovir for preventing CMV infection and disease after UCBT, but valganciclovir reduces the use of hospital resources.
