CD34+ Cell Selection versus Reduced-Intensity Conditioning and Unmodified Grafts for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Patients Age >5…
2018
Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) and T cell depletion (TCD) through CD34+ cell selection without the use of post-transplantation immunosuppression are 2 strategies used to reduce nonrelapse mortality (NRM) in older patients after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). To compare the efficacy of the RIC and TCD approaches, we evaluated the outcomes of patients age >50 years with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who underwent allo-HCT from an HLA-matched donor with one of these strategies. Baseline characteristics were comparable in the patients receiving TCD (n = 204) and those receiving RIC (n = 151), except for a higher proportion o…
A Single-Arm, Open-Label Phase 1 Study of Itacitinib (ITA) with Calcineurin Inhibitor (CNI)-Based Interventions for Prophylaxis of Graft-Versus-Host …

Background Despite prophylaxis, GVHD remains a significant cause of morbidity and nonrelapse mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). ITA is a potent, selective Janus kinase (JAK) 1 inhibitor that has been combined safely with steroids in patients (pts) with acute GVHD. We describe results from a proof-of-concept study evaluating ITA + CNI-based regimens for GVHD prophylaxis. Study Design and Methods GRAVITAS-119 (NCT03320642) was a single-arm, open-label study enrolling pts aged ≥18 y undergoing allogeneic HCT using peripheral blood stem cells from 8/8 or 7/8 matched related or unrelated donors for a hematologic malignancy. Eligible pts were candidates for reduc…
Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation for advanced systemic mastocytosis
2014
Purpose Advanced systemic mastocytosis (SM), a fatal hematopoietic malignancy characterized by drug resistance, has no standard therapy. The effectiveness of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (alloHCT) in SM remains unknown. Patients and Methods In a global effort to define the value of HCT in SM, 57 patients with the following subtypes of SM were evaluated: SM associated with clonal hematologic non–mast cell disorders (SM-AHNMD; n = 38), mast cell leukemia (MCL; n = 12), and aggressive SM (ASM; n = 7). Median age of patients was 46 years (range, 11 to 67 years). Donors were HLA-identical (n = 34), unrelated (n = 17), umbilical cord blood (n = 2), HLA-haploidentical (n = 1)…
