Summary: A comparison was made between two myeloablative regimens for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, one involving cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation (CyTBI12Gy) and the other involving fludarabine and total body irradiation (FluTBI12Gy). The results showed that the two regimens had similar efficacy in terms of relapse rate, non-relapse mortality, and survival rate. However, the FluTBI12Gy regimen was associated with a lower incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease and better survival rates.

Summary: From 2016, EBMT and JACIE developed an international risk-adapted benchmarking program for HSCT outcome. The program aims to assure quality and meet accreditation requirements for EBMT Centers. With input from previous experience, the program established criteria for patient and Center selection and a statistical model based on key clinical variables. The experience so far has shown the feasibility, acceptability, and reliability of the system, while also identifying limitations and future challenges.

Summary: Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, also known as veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD), is a potentially life-threatening complication that can occur after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) has recently updated the definition and severity grading system for SOS/VOD in adult patients. The aim of this work is to provide an update on the diagnosis, severity assessment, pathophysiology, and treatment of SOS/VOD in adult patients.

Fludarabine/TBI 8 Gy versus fludarabine/treosulfan conditioning in patients with AML in first complete remission: a study from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the EBMT

Savani, Arnon Nagler, Mohamad Mohty

Summary: Retrospective analysis compared two different conditioning regimens for AML patients undergoing HSCT and found that using FluTBI resulted in lower relapse probability but higher non-relapse mortality. There were no significant differences in overall survival and GRFS between the two groups. Therefore, FluTBI may be more suitable for younger patients below the age of 55.

Total body irradiation versus busulfan based intermediate intensity conditioning for stem cell transplantation in ALL patients >45 years-a registry-based study by the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the EBMT

Summary: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is a curative treatment for high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and conditioning regimens based on 12 Gray total body irradiation are the standard for patients under 45 years old. However, elderly patients often receive intermediate intensity conditioning to reduce toxicity. A retrospective study compared the outcomes of different conditioning regimens in ALL patients over 45 years old.

Summary: Comparing outcomes of adult patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) and de novo AML after non-T-depleted haploidentical stem cell transplant (HaploSCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, no significant difference was observed in transplantation outcomes between the two groups.

Novel strategies to prevent and overcome relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Mohammad Hassan Hodroj, Iman Abou Dalle, Nour Moukalled, Jean El Cheikh, Mohamad Mohty, Ali Bazarbachi

Summary: The outcome of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia has improved with multi-agent chemotherapy and immunotherapeutic agents. However, relapse post-transplant is still common. This review discusses strategies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, innovative agents, and cellular therapy to prevent and overcome relapse post allo-HCT in ALL patients.

Summary: This study compared defibrotide prophylaxis plus best supportive care to best supportive care alone for preventing sinusoidal obstruction syndrome after hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. The results showed that defibrotide did not provide a benefit in preventing sinusoidal obstruction syndrome.

Summary: This study examined the influence of sociodemographic factors on disparities in outcomes for multiple myeloma patients. The results showed that increasing age and low socioeconomic status were associated with worse patient outcomes globally. In the US, men had worse outcomes while women and minority populations had poorer access to treatment.

Summary: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a fast-progressing and historically challenging disease. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the best treatment option for many patients, but access and utilization on a global scale are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the global use of HSCT in AML and identify areas of need. The study found that AML incidence has increased globally, as has the use of HSCT, particularly allogeneic HSCT. However, there are significant regional variations in HSCT utilization and practices, including differences in graft sources. Further research is needed to understand and address these disparities.

Summary: The role, timing, and impact of transplantation on further therapy after relapse in multiple myeloma (MM) are still being debated in the era of highly active novel agents. The impact of prior transplantation on treatment benefit from monoclonal antibodies in patients with relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) is largely unknown. This subgroup analysis examined efficacy and safety in patients from the Phase 3 IKEMA study with and without previous transplantation.

Summary: Background systemic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (SIADs) occur in a significant proportion of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients. The recently identified VEXAS syndrome, associated with somatic mutations in UBA1, is characterized by severe inflammatory conditions and hematological abnormalities, including MDS. However, the mechanisms underlying the association between MDS and SIADs are largely unknown. This study aimed to evaluate myeloid immune cell subsets in MDS patients with and without SIAD and compare them to healthy controls.
