We studied 459 consecutive patients with hematologic malignancies, median age 44 years (range, 15 to 71 years), who underwent transplantation with grafts from identical sibling donors (SIB; n = 176), matched unrelated donors (MUD; n = 43), mismatched unrelated donors (mmUD; n = 43), unrelated cord blood (UCB; n = 105) or HLA-haploidentical...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation during immunosuppressive therapy is common in patients with hematological malignancies, even in case of resolved infection. Prophylaxis of HBV reactivation is universally recommended in stem cell transplant (SCT) recipients and patients treated with anti-CD20 agents (i.e., rituximab). Despite its...

Disease relapse remains an unmet medical need for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). With the aim of identifying patients at high risk for post-transplant relapse, we retrospectively reviewed 41 HL patients who had received haploidentical (haplo) nonmyeloablative (NMA) HCT with...

Minimal residual disease (MRD) was monitored by Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) expression in 207 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after an allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as a trigger to initiate pre-emptive immunotherapy (IT) with cyclosporin discontinuation and/or donor lymphocyte infusion. The trigger for IT was WT1 ≥...

We studied the impact of HLA mismatching on the outcome of 318 consecutive patients who received an unmanipulated haploidentical bone marrow transplant, followed by post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). The number of HLA-mismatched antigens was tested for its impact on overall survival (OS) and nonrelapse mortality (NRM), whereas HLA...

The importance of donor-recipient human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DPB1 matching for the clinical outcome of unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is controversial. We have previously described an algorithm for nonpermissive HLA-DPB1 disparities involving HLA-DPB1*0901, *1001,*1701, *0301,*1401,*4501, based on T-cell...

: The aim of this study was to develop a predictive score for moderate-severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) on day +100 after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We studied 1292 patients allografted between 1990 and 2016, alive on day +100 after transplant, without cGvHD, and with full biochemistry laboratory values...
