Abstract :
[en] We investigated the impact of occurrence of GVHD on transplantation outcomes in a large cohort of AML pts given allogeneic PBSC after RIC conditioning. Data from 1859 AML pts in fi rst (n=1439) or second (n=420) CR transplanted between 2000 and 2009 following a RIC regimen at EBMT affi liated centres were analyzed. Pts were given PBSC from HLA-identical sibling (MRD, n=1208), or from HLA-matched unrelated donors (MUD, n=651). ATG was given in 269 (22%) MRD and in 267 (41%) MUD recipients, respectively, while 151 (13%) MRD and 165 (25%) MUD recipients received in-vivo T cell depletion with alemtuzumab. The impact of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) on outcomes was assessed using time-dependent multivariate Cox models and in a landmark analysis at 18 months after transplant. The 3-y cumulative incidence of cGVHD was 47%. Fifty-three percent of patients with cGVHD had extensive cGVHD, while the remaining 47% had limited cGVHD. In multivariate analyses, occurrence of grade II-IV aGVHD was associated with a lower risk of relapse (HR=0.8; P=0.04), a higher risk of chronic (HR=2.2; P<0.001) and extensive chronic GVHD (HR=2.8; P<0.001), a higher risk of NRM (HR=2.4 P<0.001), a worsened LFS (HR=1.3; P=0.01), and a worsened OS (HR=1.5; P<0.001). In multivariate time-dependent analyses, occurrence of limited cGVHD was associated with a lower risk of relapse (HR=0.7; P=0.05), comparable NRM (HR=1.4; P=0.16), comparable LFS (HR=0.9; P=0.29) and better OS (HR=0.5; P<0.001), while occurrence of extensive cGVHD was associated with a lower risk of relapse (HR=0.6; P=0.01), higher NRM (HR=3.2; P<0.001), a trend for worsened LFS (HR=1.3; P=0.06) and comparable OS (HR=0.9; P=0.34). In a landmark analysis in patients who were leukemia-free at 18 months after transplantation (n=776), 2-year relapse, NRM, LFS and OS were 16±2%, 2.5±1%, 82±2%, and 89±2%, respectively, in patients without cGVHD before the landmark time-point, versus 9±1% (P=0.001), 8±1% (P<0.001), 83±2% (P=0.65), and 86±2% (P=0.38), respectively, in patients with cGVHD before the landmark time-point. In conclusion, in this cohort of AML patients transplanted in remission, occurrence of cGVHD was associated with a lower risk of relapse that translated to better OS in patients with limited cGVHD but not in those with extensive cGVHD who experienced higher long term NRM. These results highlight the role of the GVT effect in RIC allo-SCT, but also the need for improving the prevention of severe cGVHD in pts receiving RIC allo-SCT.
