| Resumen: |
The use of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCY) for graft-versus-host disease (GHVD) prevention is becoming prevalent in the transplantation community when HLA-identical sibling and 10/10 HLA-matched (MUD) and 9/10 mismatched unrelated donors are selected for alloHSCT. However, reported evidence on outcomes from elderly patients receiving PTCY-containing GVHD prophylaxis remains limited. This study aims to compare the outcomes of PTCY- tacrolimus (TK) prophylaxis and conventional GVHD prophylaxis in patients aged >50 years undergoing peripheral blood alloHSCT from a single institution. A total of 161 consecutive patients aged >50 years undergoing alloHSCT between January 2014 and February 2021 were included. Data were collected retrospectively and updated in December 2021. Patients received grafts from HLA-identical sibling, and from 10/10 and 9/10 HLA matched and mismatched unrelated donors. Overall, median age was 60 years, and 91 (54. 8%) received PTCY-TK for GVHD prevention. Time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment was longer in the PTCY-TK group (20 versus 16 days and 19 versus 11 days, P <. 001). The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) at day 100 and moderate/severe chronic GVHD (cGVHD) at 2 years were 18. 2%, 5. 7%, and 9. 5% for patients receiving PTCY-TK, and 26. 0%, 9. 6% and 39. 5% for those who did not. The multivariate analysis showed that PTCY-TK reduced the probability of grade II-IV aGVHD (hazard ratio [HR] 0. 41, P =. 035), of cGVHD (any grade: HR 0. 43 [P =. 014], and of moderate/severe cGVHD [HR 0. 15 {P <. 001}]). At 2 years, the overall survival (65. 4% versus 65. 6%, P =. 472), non-relapse mortality (17. 4% versus 13. 7%, P =. 967), and cumulative incidence of relapse rates (24. 2% versus 27. 5%, P =. 712) were comparable between both cohorts; GVHD-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS) was higher in the PTCY-TK group (2 years: 50. 2% versus 21. 8%; HR 0. 42, P =. 001). In patients aged ≥50 years. PTCY-TK was safe and a more effective drug combination than non-PTCY containing GVHD prophylaxis, even with the use of matched and mismatched unrelated donors, and resulted in comparable relapse rates and better GRFS. |
