Abstract: Abstract 4197 Background: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has emerged as a major cause of morbidity and mortality after double-unit cord blood transplantation (DCBT), but data concerning its manifestations, treatment response, and risk factors are limited. Moreover, the incidence and clinical characteristics of GVHD after day 100 in DCBT recipients have not been well described. Methods: We evaluated the incidence and nature of GVHD in 115 DCBT recipients (median 37 years, range 0.9–69) transplanted for hematologic malignancies with either myeloablative (n = 88) or non-myeloablative conditioning (n = 27). CB units were 4–6/6 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A,-B antigen, -DRB1 allele match to the recipient, and all patients received calcineurin-inhibitor/mycophenolate mofetil immunosuppression without anti-thymocyte globulin. Results: With a median follow-up of 33 months (range 8–73), the cumulative incidences of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) at day 180 were 53% (95% CI: 44–62) and 23% (95% CI: 15–31), respectively. Among patients with grade II-IV aGVHD, the median onset was 40 days (range 14–169), but earlier for those with grade III-IV (median 35 days). The gastrointestinal (GI) tract was the most commonly affected organ (80%, 14 upper gut, 9 lower gut, 26 both), followed by skin (39%), and liver (18%). Among patients with grade II-IV aGVHD, 29 (48%) were treated with systemic corticosteroids, 27 (44%) with budesonide alone, and 4 (7%) with topical corticosteroids. Budesonide was used as the sole treatment exclusively in adults for grade II disease predominantly affecting the gut. Treatment response by day 28 was 79% and 85% to systemic corticosteroids or budesonide, respectively. Of 89 engrafted patients disease-free at day 100, 54% subsequently had active GVHD with 79% of those affected having persistent/recurrent aGVHD or overlap syndrome. Classical chronic GVHD was quite uncommon affecting only 10 patients (21%) in the study. To take into account potential confounding variables associated with day 180 grade III-IV aGVHD incidence, a multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed (Table). Grade III-IV aGVHD incidence was lower if the engrafting unit-recipient human HLA-A,-B,-DRB1 allele match was 〉 4/6 (HR 0.385, p = 0.031) (Figure), whereas engrafting unit nucleated cell dose and unit-unit HLA-match were not significant. Conclusions: GVHD after DCBT was common in our study, predominantly affected the gut, and had a high rate of successful response to treatment. Late GVHD frequently had acute features. Our findings support the consideration of HLA-A,-B,-DRB1 allele donor-recipient (but not unit-unit) HLA-matching in unit selection. This would represent a practice change for most transplant centers. Moreover, new prophylaxis strategies that target the gut are needed. Disclosures: Off Label Use: The use of Budesonide for acute gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease.

Abstract: Introduction: Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have a high rate of relapse resulting in a need for multiple lines of therapy. In contrast to MM with standard risk cytogenetics (SR-Cyto), high-risk cytogenetics (HR-Cyto) in MM such as del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16), and gain(1q) (≥3 copies), can result in shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with less durable responses. Treatment regimens that can overcome the negative effect of HR-Cyto abnormalities are required to address this area of unmet medical need. Exportin 1 (XPO1), is overexpressed in many hematologic and solid tumor malignancies including MM, and exports tumor suppressor proteins from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, leading to their inactivation. Elevated levels of XPO1 are correlated with more aggressive MM and resistance to therapy and confers a poor prognosis. The potent oral XPO1 inhibitor, selinexor, has been approved as a triplet combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone for previously-treated MM. In the Phase 3 BOSTON study, treatment with XVd in patients with previously treated MM significantly prolonged median PFS and improved the overall response rate (ORR), with a trend towards a prolonged OS amongst all patients as well as those with HR cytogenetics. Methods: We performed post hoc analyses on patients with previously-treated MM from the XVd arm of the Phase 1b/2 study STOMP (NCT02343042) and the Phase 3 BOSTON (NCT03110562) study to determine the effects of cytogenetic abnormalities on outcomes. The HR-Cyto group included patients with at least one of the following cytogenetic abnormalities at initial diagnosis or screening: del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16), or gain(1q) (≥3 copies). Efficacy was based on independent review committee. Results: A total of 106 patients with HR-Cyto were identified, including del(17p) (n=25), t(4;14) (n=25), t(14;16) (n=10), and gain(1q) (n=80). There were 131 patients classified as SR-Cyto including those with unknown cytogenetics. Baseline demographics were similar between groups with median age of 66 years old (range 40-87). Patients with HR-Cyto had a median PFS of 12.9 months and patients with SR-Cyto had a median PFS of 16.6 months; PFS on the BOSTON Vd control arm were 8.6 and 9.5 months with HR- and SR-Cyto, respectively. Of the individual abnormalities, a PFS of 13.2 and 13.9 months was observed in the t(4;14) and gain1q subgroups, respectively. Of the HR-Cyto subgroups with more than 10 patients, a similar median OS was observed in comparison to SR-Cyto and ranged from 20.4 months to not reached. The response of XVd treatment was maintained across HR-Cyto risk subgroups, with an ORR of 76.4% overall and the following values for subgroups: del(17p) (72.0%), t(4;14) (88.0%), and gain1q (73.8%). The ORR of the SR group was 69.5%. Of all patients that received XVd, there were 6 CRs (5.7%) and 32 VGPRs (30.2%) in the HR group and 9 CRs (6.9%) and 29 VGPRs (22.1%) in the SR group. The ORRs on the BOSTON Vd control arm were 57.7% and 64.7% for HR- and SR-Cyto, respectively. The rates of the most common treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade were similar across risk groups (HR- vs SR-Cyto): thrombocytopenia (65.1% vs. 54.2%), nausea (53.8% vs. 53.4%), fatigue (47.2% vs. 45.0%) decreased appetite (37.7% vs. 42.0%) and anemia (34.6% vs 40.5%). Rates of AEs of any grade peripheral neuropathy (PN) were 35.8% overall, 40.0% in del(17p), t(4;14) (40.0%), t(14;16) (30.0%), gain(1q) (38.8%), and 23.7% in the SR group. The rates of PN in the HR and SR groups of the XVd arm of the BOSTON and STOMP studies were 37.1% and 29.6% and 11.1% and 15.2%, respectively. The corresponding rates for Vd alone in the BOSTON study were 48.6% and 47.0%. Conclusions: Patients with MM with HR-Cyto treated with XVd demonstrated a comparable ORR and PFS, with a manageable safety profile compared to patients with SR-Cyto, supporting the use of XVd in patients with any cytogenetic profile. These results are consistent with the distinct and broad mechanism of action associated with XPO1 inhibition and the use of the agent in earlier lines of therapy. Further assessment of selinexor in combination with other therapies in patients with MM across the entire cytogenetic spectrum is warranted. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Abstract: Introduction: Despite recent advances, there remains an unmet need for novel therapies to improve outcomes and abrogate the adverse effects of high-risk cytogenetics in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). In patients with triple class refractory MM in the Phase 2b STORM study, the clinical benefit of selinexor plus low dose dexamethasone (sel-dex) was preserved across high-risk cytogenetic subgroups, supporting further evaluation of selinexor combined with other anti-MM therapies (Nooka et al. ASH 2019). The phase 3 BOSTON study evaluated the combination of weekly sel-dex with the proteasome inhibitor (PI) bortezomib (SVd) against standard twice weekly bortezomib-dex (Vd) in patients with MM who had received 1-3 prior therapies. SVd significantly improved progression free survival (PFS), time to next therapy (TTNT), overall response rate (ORR) and depth of response (≥VGPR), while inducing less overall and grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy (PN) compared with Vd. Here, we present the results of prespecified subgroup analyses from the BOSTON study according to cytogenetic risk status. Methods: In the BOSTON study, patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to once weekly oral sel (100 mg) plus once weekly subcutaneous (SC) bortezomib (1.3 mg/m2) and dex (20 mg BIW) in the SVd arm or twice weekly SC bortezomib (1.3 mg/m2) and dex (20 mg QIW) in the Vd arm. Treatment was administered in both arms until disease progression. The primary endpoint was PFS, as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC). Central FISH analyses were performed on CD138+ sorted cells from bone marrow aspirates collected at screening. The high-risk group consisted of patients with at least 1 of the following abnormalities: del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16), and amplification of 1q21 in ≥10% of screened plasma cells with amp (1q21) requiring ≥3 copies. The standard-risk group consisted of all other patients with available and known baseline cytogenetics. Results: Of the 402 enrolled patients, 192 (48%) had high-risk (SVd=97, Vd=95) and 210 (52%) had standard-risk (SVd=98, Vd=112) cytogenetics. Baseline patient and disease characteristics were well balanced across treatment arms. SVd significantly improved PFS relative to Vd in the high-risk (12.9 vs 8.1 months; HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.45-0.98; P=0.0192) and standard-risk (16.6 vs 9.7 months; HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.42-0.95; P=0.0131) groups. Time to next treatment was significantly increased with SVd in the high-risk (14.6 vs 8.7 months; P=0.0049) and standard risk groups (NR vs 13.1 months; P=0.0158). The ORR was significantly improved with SVd in the high-risk group (77.3% vs 55.8%; P=0.0008) and numerically improved in the standard-risk group (75.5% vs 67.9%; P=0.11) with comparable rates between the high-risk and standard-risk groups in the SVd arm. Very good partial response or better was achieved in 42.3% patients on SVd versus 24.2% on Vd (P=0.0041) and 46.9% on SVd versus 39.3% on Vd (P=0.13) in the high-risk and standard-risk groups, respectively. Overall survival was 23.5 months in the high-risk group in the Vd arm and was not reached in the other groups. Efficacy by specific cytogenetics abnormalities in the high-risk subgroup is shown in the table below. PFS and ORR were improved with SVd compared with Vd across all subgroups except t(14;16) which was the smallest subgroup (N=18, 4% of the study population). There were 61 deaths in the high-risk group (SVd=27 and Vd=34) versus 48 in the standard-risk group (SVd=20 and Vd=28). The safety profiles of SVd and Vd in the high-risk and standard-risk groups were consistent with the overall population. Rate of grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy was lower with SVd compared with Vd in both the high-risk (26.8% vs 32.3%; P=0.18) and standard-risk groups (15.3% vs 36.0%; P=0.0003). Conclusions: These prespecified subgroup analyses from the BOSTON study demonstrate that despite utilizing 40% less bortezomib and 25% less dexamethasone during the first 24-weeks of treatment, SVd is superior to Vd in patients with MM including high-risk patients. The PFS benefit was particularly notable in patients with del(17p), t(4;14) and amp(1q21) abnormalities. The ORR was comparable between the high-risk and standard-risk groups in the SVd arm. These data support the use of selinexor, with its novel mechanism of action, in the treatment of patients with early relapsed MM, including those with high risk cytogenetic abnormalities.

Abstract: Background: In general, modern clinical trials for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have intensified therapy compared with therapy in prior decades. While survival rates now approach 90%, increased treatment intensity has heightened the risk of complications such as serious infections or organ toxicities, which may in turn lead to dose modifications and/or treatment delays. There is a paucity of data on the prognostic impact of cumulative delays during the intensive phases of ALL therapy. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients between the ages of 1-21 years with newly diagnosed ALL who were treated at two large academic pediatric hospitals that are part of the Leukemia Electronic Abstraction of Records Network (LEARN). Eligible patients were those diagnosed with B- or T-lineage ALL who received chemotherapy treatment at least through the start of maintenance therapy. Exclusion criteria included disease relapse prior to start of maintenance, Down syndrome, or clinical features requiring highly intensified frontline therapy. The primary study objective was to determine the impact of treatment delays on relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). A secondary objective was to investigate associations between delays and patient clinical characteristics. Results: A total of 537 patients were eligible for analysis. Of these 537, 32 were analyzed separately as an "extreme toxicity" subgroup, due to excessive treatment-related morbidities prior to the start of maintenance requiring significant therapy modification. The remaining 505 were divided into quartiles based on their duration of delay, with the highest quartile experiencing 〉 64 days of delay to start of maintenance. Most patients experienced some delay (median 40 days, range 0-154 days). Patients in the highest quartile were characterized by an older mean age at diagnosis (7.8 versus 6.7 years, p=0.0254), treatment on a more intensified regimen (p 〈 0.001), and higher likelihood of Hispanic or Asian race/ethnicity (p=0.033). These patients did not have a significantly lower RFS (4.7 vs. 4.8 years; p=0.701; Figure 1A Kaplan-Meier [KM] p=0.67) or OS (4.8 vs. 4.9 years; p=0.24) compared to patients in the other three quartiles. Patients in the extreme toxicities group did demonstrate a significantly inferior RFS (2.9 vs. 4.7 years; p 〈 0.001; Figure 1B KM p 〈 0.0001)) and OS (3.2 vs. 4.9 years; p 〈 0.001) compared with the remainder of patients. Patients in the extreme toxicities group were more likely to be Hispanic or black (p=0.039), have T-ALL (p=0.043), have received higher intensity therapy (p=0.005), and have a higher mean age at diagnosis (11.8 vs 7.0 years; p 〈 0.0001). Conclusions: Due to the intensity of modern ALL therapy, treatment delays are common. Our data suggest that prolonged delays in treatment prior to the start of maintenance therapy do not impact survival, but that extreme toxicities requiring significant alterations in therapy are associated with significantly poorer RFS and OS.

Abstract: Background: Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with deletion of the short arm of chromosome 17 (del 17p) follow an aggressive clinical course and demonstrate a median survival of less than 2 years in the relapsed/refractory (R/R) setting. Ibrutinib (ImbruvicaTM), a first-in-class Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, has been approved for previously treated patients with CLL and for patients with del 17p CLL. We report results from the primary analysis of the Phase II RESONATETM-17 (PCYC-1117-CA) study, designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of single-agent ibrutinib for treatment of patients with R/R del 17p CLL or small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL). Methods: Patients with del 17p CLL or SLL who failed at least one therapy were enrolled to receive 420 mg oral ibrutinib once daily until progression. All patients receiving at least one dose of ibrutinib were included in the analysis. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) per an independent review committee (IRC). Other endpoints included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety of ibrutinib. Results: Among 144 treated patients (137 with CLL, 7 with SLL), the median age was 64 (48% 65 years or older) and all had del 17p. Baseline characteristics included 63% of patients with Rai Stage III or IV disease, 49% with bulky lymphadenopathy of at least 5 cm, and 10% with lymphadenopathy of least 10 cm. The median baseline absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) was 32.9 x 109/L with 57% of patients with a baseline ALC at least 25.0 x 109/L. Baseline beta-2 microglobulin levels were at least 3.5 mg/L in 78% of patients (range 1.8-19.8 mg/L), and lactate dehydrogenase levels were at least 350 U/L in 24% of patients (range 127-1979 U/L). A median of 2 prior therapies (range 1-7) was reported. Investigator-assessed ORR was 82.6% including 17.4% partial response with lymphocytosis (PR-L). Complete response (CR)/complete response with incomplete bone marrow recovery (CRi) were reported in 3 patients. IRC-assessed ORR is pending. At a median follow up of 13.0 months (range 0.5-16.7 months), the median PFS (Figure 1) and DOR by investigator determination had not been reached. At 12 months, 79.3% were alive and progression-free, and 88.3% of responders were progression-free. Progressive disease was reported in 20 patients (13.9%). Richter transformation was reported in 11 of these patients (7.6%), 7 of the cases occurring within the first 24 weeks of treatment. Prolymphocytic leukemia was reported in 1 patient. The most frequently reported adverse events (AE) of any grade were diarrhea (36%; 2% Grade 3-4), fatigue (30%; 1% Grade 3-4), cough (24%; 1% Grade 3-4), and arthralgia (22%; 1% Grade 3-4). Atrial fibrillation of any grade was reported in 11 patients (7.6%; 3.5% Grade 3-4). Seven patients reported basal or squamous cell skin cancer and 1 patient had plasma cell myeloma. Most frequently reported Grade 3-4 AEs were neutropenia (14%), anemia (8%), pneumonia (8%), and hypertension (8%). Major hemorrhage was reported in 7 patients (4.9%, all Grade 2 or 3). Study treatment was discontinued in 16 patients (11.1%) due to AEs with 8 eventually having fatal events (pneumonia, sepsis, myocardial or renal infarction, health deterioration). At the time of data cut, the median treatment duration was 11.1 months, and 101 of 144 patients (70%) continued treatment with ibrutinib. Conclusions: In the largest prospective trial dedicated to the study of del 17p CLL/SLL, ibrutinib demonstrated marked efficacy in terms of ORR, DOR, and PFS, with a favorable risk-benefit profile. At a median follow up of 13 months, the median DOR had not yet been reached; 79.3% of patients remained progression-free at 12 months, consistent with efficacy observed in earlier studies (Byrd, NEJM 2013;369:32-42). The PFS in this previously treated population compares favorably to that of treatment-naïve del 17p CLL patients receiving fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR) (Hallek, Lancet 2010;376:1164-74) or alemtuzumab (Hillmen, J Clin Oncol 2007;10:5616-23) with median PFS of 11 months. The AEs are consistent with those previously reported for ibrutinib (Byrd, NEJM 2014;371:213-23). These results support ibrutinib as an effective therapy for patients with del 17p CLL/SLL.

Abstract: Abstract 3080 As compared to single-unit CBT, DCBT may improve engraftment and protect against relapse. Therefore, we have adopted DCBT for both children and adults with acute leukemia, myelodysplasia (MDS), and myeloproliferative diseases (MPD). However, determinants of disease-free survival (DFS) have yet to be fully established. Furthermore, whether DFS after DCBT is comparable in patients of European and non-European ancestry is of special interest. Therefore, we analyzed the DFS of 75 DCBT recipients with acute leukemia in morphologic remission or aplasia (n = 69), and MDS/MPD with ≤ 5% blasts (n = 6) transplanted from 10/2005-4/2011. Nearly all patients had high-risk disease. Children 0–15 years (n = 23) had the following characteristics: median age 9 years (range 0.9–15); median weight 37 kg (range 7–72); 30% European; and 26% CMV sero-positive. Diagnoses were 43% AML (or biphenotypic), 52% ALL, and 4% MDS/MPD, and all received high-dose conditioning. The children received grafts with a median infused TNC × 107/kg of 3.3 (larger unit) and 2.6 (smaller unit), and 2% of units were 6/6 HLA-A, -B antigen, -DRB1 allele matched, 63% 5/6, and 35% 4/6. Adults ≥ 16 years (n = 52) had the following characteristics: median age 41 years (range 16–69); median weight 69 kg (range 47–105); 48% European; 69% CMV sero-positive; and diagnoses were 63% AML (or biphenotypic), 27% ALL, and 10% MDS/MPD. Fifty percent received high-dose and 50% reduced intensity conditioning. Their units had a median infused TNC/kg of 2.7 and 1.9, and 3% were 6/6 HLA-matched, 47% 5/6, and 50% 4/6. All patients (pediatric and adult) received calcineurin-inhibitor/ mycophenolate mofetil immunosuppression, and none received anti-thymocyte globulin. Sustained donor neutrophil engraftment was seen in 91% of children and 94% of adults at medians of 20 and 26 days, respectively. The incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD by day 180 was 44% in children and 58% in adults. Day 100 transplant-related mortality (TRM) was 9% in children and 19% in adults. The 2-year relapse incidence was 9% in children and 6% in adults. With a median follow-up of survivors of 26 months (range 4–70), 2-year Kaplan-Meier estimate of DFS was 78% in children and 64% in adults (Figure). Differences in survival by age did not reach significance. Univariate analysis of variables potentially influencing 2-year DFS (with log rank estimates of significance) in all patients is shown in the Table. There were no differences in 2-year DFS according to ancestry, remission status, and conditioning intensity. There was also no difference in 2-year DFS according to engrafting unit-recipient HLA-match (4-6/6 or 10 allele), or engrafting unit infused TNC dose/kg. However, patients who were CMV seronegative had a higher 2-year DFS (85% vs 55%, p = 0.018). Multivariate analysis revealed recipient CMV serostatus was a predictor of DFS independent of patient age, and its effect was mediated by an influence on TRM. We have previously shown that DCBT extends transplant access to minority patients. We now demonstrate that DCBT can achieve high and comparable DFS in both European and non-European pediatric and adult patients with acute leukemia and MDS/MPD. While these are very encouraging results further investigation in racial/ethnic sub-groups is needed. Nonetheless, our findings support DCBT as an immediate alternative therapy for high-risk acute leukemia in patients without suitable unrelated volunteer donors, especially given the very low incidence of relapse.

Abstract: Abstract 3044 While the GVHD incidence after unrelated donor CBT is lower than expected for the degree of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatch, GVHD can be a serious complication and at our center has been the second most common cause of transplant-related mortality after DCBT. However, relatively little is known about DCBT GVHD manifestations, treatment response, and risk factors. Therefore, we evaluated 108 DCBT recipients (median 37 years, range 0.9–69) transplanted for hematologic malignancies. The majority had acute leukemia and high-risk disease. Patients received either myeloablative (n = 81) or non-myeloablative (n = 27) conditioning and 4–6/6 HLA-matched grafts. GVHD prophylaxis consisted of a calcineurin-inhibitor with mycophenolate mofetil, and no patient received anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). With a median follow-up of 28 months (range 9–64), the cumulative incidences of day 180 grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) were 52% (95%CI :42–62) and 24% (95%CI :15–32), respectively. The median onset was 40 days (range 14–161); the gut was most commonly affected (43/54, 80%) followed by skin (35/54, 65%). Twenty-five patients with mainly grade II gut aGVHD were treated with budesonide alone, 26 patients with predominantly grade III-IV aGVHD received systemic corticosteroids, and complete or partial treatment response was achieved in over 80% by day 56 of therapy. However, 41 patients had active GVHD after day 100 with the majority (25/41, 61%) having aGVHD (persistent, recurrent or late onset), particularly of the gut. Overlap syndrome and classical chronic GVHD were uncommon. Only 1 patient had oral ulceration, and no patient had moderate or severe ocular or sclerotic skin involvement, joint, or pulmonary GVHD manifestations. Univariate analysis of the association between patient/ graft characteristics and grade III-IV aGVHD showed the only significant factor associated with a higher severe aGVHD incidence was age 0–15 years (Figure). Diagnosis, patient ancestry, cytomegalovirus seropositivity, conditioning intensity, and infused cell doses/kg (total graft and engrafting-unit nucleated cell, CD34+ and CD3+) were not significant. A higher engrafting unit-recipient HLA-match of 8–9/10 was associated with a lower incidence of severe aGVHD, and a better unit-unit HLA-match of 6–10/10 was associated with a higher incidence of severe aGVHD, although these differences were not significant (p = 0.128 and 0.266, respectively). To further investigate these findings multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed (Table). Younger age was independently associated with a higher incidence of severe aGVHD (p = 0.042) whereas better engrafting unit-recipient match at 8–9/10 HLA-alleles was protective (p = 0.053). There was a trend toward better unit-unit HLA-match being associated with a higher incidence of grade III-IV aGVHD, but, surprisingly, total infused TNC/kg had no relationship. The 2-year PFS of 72% (95%CI :51–94) in children was higher than the 56% (95%CI :45–66) in adults despite their greater incidence of severe aGVHD. Nine patients (all adult) have died of GVHD including 5 patients initially treated with systemic corticosteroids and 4 with budesonide. We conclude that aGVHD after DCBT is common in the absence of ATG, predominantly affects the gut, and has a high rate of treatment response. Furthermore, GVHD after day 100 frequently has acute features. While the GVHD incidence does not preclude a high rate of survival, improved prophylaxis and treatment are needed. Notably, in contrast to single-unit CBT and adult hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, children receiving DCBT are at a higher risk for severe disease. A possible approach to reduce aGVHD in pediatric DCBT recipients with adequate CB units doses would be to prioritize high resolution HLA-match. Moreover, our data does not currently support an upper limit of infused TNC/kg in DCBT recipients. Further investigation of the biology underlying these unique observations (including the role of specific cellular subsets) should be a major priority.
