Abstract
Ex vivo CD34+ selection before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) reduces graft-versus-host disease without increasing relapse but usually requires myeloablative conditioning. We aimed to identify toxicity patterns in older patients and the association with overall survival (OS) and nonrelapse mortality (NRM). We conducted a retrospective analysis of 200 patients who underwent CD34+ selection allo-HCT using the ClinicMACS® system between 2006 and 2012. All grade 3 to 5 toxicities by CTCAE v4.0 were collected. Eighty patients aged ≥ 60 years with a median age of 64 (range, 60 to 73) were compared with 120 patients aged < 60 years. Median follow-up in survivors was 48.2 months. OS and NRM were similar between ages ≥ 60 and <60, with 1-year OS 70% versus 78% (P = .07) and 1-year NRM 23% versus 13% (P = .38), respectively. In patients aged ≥ 60 the most common toxicities by day 100 were metabolic, with a cumulative incidence of 88% (95% CI, 78% to 93%), infectious 84% (95% CI, 73% to 90%), hematologic 80% (95% CI, 69% to 87%), oral/gastrointestinal (GI) 48% (95% CI, 36% to 58%), cardiovascular (CV) 35% (95% CI, 25% to 46%), and hepatic 25% (95% CI, 16% to 35%). Patients aged ≥ 60 had a higher risk of neurologic (HR, 2.63 [95% CI, 1.45 to 4.78]; P = .001) and CV (HR, 1.65 [95% CI, 1.04 to 2.63]; P = .03) toxicities but a lower risk of oral/GI (HR, .58 [95% CI, .41 to .83]; P = .003) compared with those aged < 60. CV, hepatic, neurologic, pulmonary, and renal toxicities remained independent risk factors for the risk of death and NRM in separate multivariate models adjusting for age and hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index. Overall, the toxicity of a more intense regimen is potentially balanced by the absence of toxicity related to methotrexate and calcineurin inhibitors in older patients. Prospective study of toxicities after allo-HCT in older patients is essential.Entities:
