Abstract:
:Since graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) is the main weapon for disease eradication after reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic SCT, the availability of sensitive and specific techniques to monitor changes in tumor load after transplant are especially helpful. These minimal residual disease techniques would allow an early intervention in the event of low tumor burden, for which immunotherapy is highly effective. Some authors have found an association between persistence of MRD, mixed chimerism and risk of relapse. Nevertheless, data from the literature remain contradictory and further correlations should be established, especially in RIC transplants. In this study we have analyzed the impact of MRD and chimerism monitoring on the outcome of 34 patients undergoing RIC allogeneic SCT who were considered poor candidates for conventional transplantation due to advanced age or other concurrent medical conditions. At day +100 25 (75%) patients reached complete remission (CR), there were five (15%) partial responses and three patients progressed. Incidence of grade 2-4 aGVHD and extensive cGVHD were 35% and 58%, respectively. Sixteen percent of patients developing aGVHD relapsed as compared to 47% in those without aGVHD (P = 0.03) and also 10% of patients developing cGVHD relapsed as compared to 50% relapses in those without cGHVD (P = 0.03). Four patients (12%) died due to early (n = 1) and late (n = 3) transplant-related mortality. After a median follow-up of 15 months, 24 out of the 34 patients remain alive. Projected overall survival and disease-free survival at 3 years are 68% and 63%, respectively. Early chimerism analysis showed 67% of patients with complete chimerism (CC) in bone marrow (BM), 86% in peripheral blood (PB), 89% in granulocytes and 68% in T lymphocytes. On day +100, these figures were 68%, 79%, 90% and 73%, respectively, and on day +180 there were 83% patients with CC in BM, 100% in PB, 100% in granulocytes and 100% in T lymphocytes. We observed a trend to a higher incidence of relapse in patients with mixed chimerism (MC) as compared to patients with CC. MRD monitoring by flow cytometry and/or RT-PCR analysis was performed in 23 patients. MRD assessment on days +21 to +56 after transplant allowed identification of patients at risk of relapse. In this sense, seven out of 12 patients (58.3%) who had positive MRD on days +21 to +56 relapsed as compared to none out of 11 patients who had negative MRD (P = 0.002). Of the seven patients with criteria to monitor MRD who relapsed after transplant, all but one remained MRD positive until relapse. By contrast, 10 patients remained MRD negative and all of them are in continuous CR. In nine additional patients, persistence of MRD or mixed chimerism was observed after transplant and withdrawal of cyclosporin with or without DLI was performed. Only two out of these nine patients relapsed. MRD clearance was preceded by CC and GVHD. In conclusion, in our study we found that RIC allogeneic transplantation can be used in patients considered poor candidates for conventional transplantation due to advanced age or other concurrent medical conditions with both low toxicity and low transplant-related mortality. Simultaneous studies of both chimerism and MRD are a useful tool in order to predict risk of relapse in patients undergoing RIC transplants and so can be helpful for individualizing treatment strategies after transplant.
