Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs ,RC633-647.5 - Abstract
Promoting access to and excellence in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) by collecting and disseminating data on global HCT activities is one of the principal activities of the Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, a non-Governmental organization in working relations with the World Health Organization. HCT activities are recorded annually by member societies, national registries and individual centers including indication, donor type (allogeneic/autologous), donor match and stem cell source (bone marrow/peripheral blood stem cells/cord blood). In 2018, 1,768 HCT teams in 89 countries (six WHO regions) reported 93,105 (48,680 autologous and 44,425 allogeneic) HCT. Major indications were plasma cell disorders and lymphoma for autologous, and acute leukemias and MDS/MPN for allogeneic HCT. HCT number increased from 48,709 in 2007. Notable increases were seen for autoimmune diseases in autologous and hemoglobinopathies in allogeneic HCT. The number of allogeneic HCT more than doubled with significant changes in donor match. While HCT from HLA identical siblings has seen only limited growth, HCT from non-identical related donors showed significant increase worldwide. Strongest correlation between economic growth indicator of gross national income/capita and HCT activity/ten million population was observed for autologous HCT (r=0.79). HCT from unrelated donors showed strong correlation (r=0.68), but only moderate correlation (r=0.51) was detected from related donors. The use of HCT doubled in about a decade worldwide at different speed and with significant changes regarding donor match as a sign of improved access to HCT worldwide. Although narrowing, significant gaps remain between developing and non-developing countries.

We compared outcomes of 1461 adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) receiving hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from a haploidentical (n = 487) or matched unrelated donor (MUD; n = 974) between January 2005 and June 2018. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for haploidentical, and CNI with MMF or methotrexate with/without antithymoglobulin for MUDs. Haploidentical recipients were matched (1:2 ratio) with MUD controls for sex, conditioning intensity, disease stage, Philadelphia-chromosome status, and cytogenetic risk. In the myeloablative setting, day +28 neutrophil recovery was similar between haploidentical (87%) and MUD (88%) (P = .11). Corresponding rates after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) were 84% and 88% (P = .47). The 3-month incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) and 3-year chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was similar after haploidentical compared with MUD: myeloablative conditioning, 33% vs 34% (P = .46) for aGVHD and 29% vs 31% for cGVHD (P = .58); RIC, 31% vs 30% (P = .06) for aGVHD and 24% vs 29% for cGVHD (P = .86). Among patients receiving myeloablative regimens, 3-year probabilities of overall survival were 44% and 51% with haploidentical and MUD (P = .56). Corresponding rates after RIC were 43% and 42% (P = .6). In this large multicenter case-matched retrospective analysis, despite the limitations of a registry-based study (ie, unavailability of key elements such as minimal residual disease testing), our analysis indicated that outcomes of patients with ALL undergoing HCT from a haploidentical donor were comparable with 8 of 8 MUD transplantations.

Introduction High-dose melphalan (HD-Mel) has been successfully employed in autografting patients with multiple myeloma. An advantage of this regimen is that the total dose of Mel can be delivered in a single day, being particularly useful when non-frozen hematopoietic stem cells are employed in the autograft.Material and Methods All consecutive patients with R/R lymphomas, both HL and NHL studied and treated at two different centers were prospectively included in a study of ASCT employing a single dose of HD-Mel (200 mg/m2). A group of R/R HL or NHL autografted employing BEAM-like preparative regimens was constructed matched by diagnosis and age. The primary endpoint of the study was overall survival (OS), the secondary endpoint was event-free survival (EFS).Results Twenty-five R/R HL/NHL patients were prospectively accrued in the study. There were 8 (32%) females, 13 (52%) patients had at least 1 adverse effect: 7 (28%) developed mucositis, 5 (20%) neutropenic fever, and 6 (24%) grade IV nausea. In the HD-Mel group, median overall survival (OS) was not achieved and OS at 36 months was 71%, the transplant-related mortality being 0%. In the control group, median OS was not achieved and the 36-month OS was 76%, results not statistically significant (p 0.5). The EFS was also similar in both groups (p 0.5).Conclusion HD-Mel alone is non-inferior to a BEAM-like regimen as a preparative regimen for autografting patients with R/R HL and NHL. The regimen is adequate to graft persons with non-frozen stem cells.

Haploidentical transplantation performed with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis has been associated with favorable outcomes for patients with acute myeloid leukemia and lymphomas. However, it remains unclear if such approach is effective for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We analyzed outcomes of 109 consecutively treated ALL patients 18 years of age and older at 5 institutions. The median age was 32 years and the median follow-up for survivors was 13 months. Thirty-two patients were in first complete remission (CR1), while the rest were beyond CR1. Neutrophil engraftment occurred in 95% of the patients. The cumulative incidences of grades II to IV and III and IV acute GVHD at day 100 after transplantation were 32% and 11%, respectively, whereas chronic GVHD, nonrelapse mortality, relapse rate, and disease-free survival (DFS) at 1 year after transplantation were 32%, 21%, 27%, and 51%, respectively. Patients in CR1 had 52% DFS at 3 years. These results suggest that haploidentical transplants performed with PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis provide a very suitable alternative to HLA-matched transplantations for patients with ALL.

KIR ,NK cells ,HLA ,Cytology ,QH573-671 - Abstract
Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells that mediate antiviral and antitumor responses. NK cell activation and induction of effector functions are tightly regulated by the integration of activating and inhibitory receptors such as killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). KIR genes are characterized by a high degree of diversity due to presence or absence, gene copy number and allelic polymorphism. The aim of this study was to establish the distribution of KIR genes and genotypes, to infer the most common haplotypes in an admixed Colombian population and to compare these KIR gene frequencies with some Central and South American populations and worldwide. A total of 161 individuals from Medellin, Colombia were included in the study. Genomic DNA was used for KIR and HLA genotyping. We analyzed only KIR gene-content (presence or absence) based on PCR-SSO. The KIR genotype, most common haplotypes and combinations of KIR and HLA ligands frequencies were estimated according to the presence or absence of KIR and HLA genes. Dendrograms, principal component (PC) analysis and Heatmap analysis based on genetic distance were constructed to compare KIR gene frequencies among Central and South American, worldwide and Amerindian populations. The 16 KIR genes analyzed were distributed in 37 different genotypes and the 7 most frequent KIR inferred haplotypes. Importantly, we found three new genotypes not previously reported in any other ethnic group. Our genetic distance, PC and Heatmap analysis revealed marked differences in the distribution of KIR gene frequencies in the Medellin population compared to worldwide populations. These differences occurred mainly in the activating KIR isoforms, which are more frequent in our population, particularly KIR3DS1. Finally, we observed unique structural patterns of genotypes, which evidences the potential diversity and variability of this gene family in our population, and the need for exhaustive genetic studies to expand our understanding of the KIR gene complex in Colombian populations.

Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs ,RC633-647.5 - Abstract
The Worldwide Network of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) pursues the mission of promoting hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for instance by evaluating activities through member societies, national registries and individual centers. In 2016, 82,718 first HCT were reported by 1,662 HCT teams in 86 of the 195 World Health Organization member states representing a global increase of 6.2% in autologous HCT and 7.0% in allogeneic HCT and bringing the total to 1,298,897 procedures. Assuming a frequency of 84,000/year, 1.5 million HCT were performed by 2019 since 1957. Slightly more autologous (53.5%) than allogeneic and more related (53.6%) than unrelated HCT were reported. A remarkable increase was noted in haploidentical related HCT for leukemias and lymphoproliferative diseases, but even more in non-malignant diseases. Transplant rates (TR; HCT/10 million population) varied according to region reaching 560.8 in North America, 438.5 in Europe, 76.7 in Latin America, 53.6 in South East Asia/Western Pacific (SEA/WPR) and 27.8 in African/East Mediterranean (AFR/EMR). Interestingly, haploidentical TR amounted to 32% in SEA/WPR and 26% in Latin America, but only 14% in Europe and EMR and 4.9% in North America of all allogeneic HCT. HCT team density (teams/10 million population) was highest in Europe (7.7) followed by North America (6.0), SEA/WPR (1.9), Latin America (1.6) and AFR/EMR (0.4). HCT are increasing steadily worldwide with narrowing gaps between regions and greater increase in allogeneic compared to autologous activity. While related HCT is rising, largely due to increase in haploidentical HCT, unrelated HCT is plateauing and cord blood HCT is in decline.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has an aggressive course and a historically dismal prognosis. For many patients, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) represents the best option for cure, but access, utilization and health inequities on a global scale remain poorly elucidated.To describe patterns of global HSCT use in AML for a better understanding of global access, practices, and unmet needs internationally.Estimates of AML incident cases in 2016 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 study. HSCT activities were collected from 2009-2016 by the Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) through its member organizations. The primary endpoint was global and regional use (number of HSCT) and utilization of HSCT (number of HSCT/ number of incident cases) for AML. Secondary outcomes included trends from 2009 to 2016 in donor type, stem cell source and remission status at time of HSCT.Global AML incidence has steadily increased, from 102,000 (95% uncertainty interval (UI): 90,200-108,000) in 2009 to 118,000 (104,000-126,000) in 2016 (+16.2%). Over the same period, a +54.9% increase from 9,659 to 14,965 HSCT/year was observed globally, driven by an increase in allogeneic (+64.9%) with a reduction in autologous (-34.9%) HSCT. While the highest numbers of HSCT continue to be performed in high-resource regions, the largest increases were seen in resource-constrained regions [+94.6% in Africa/East Mediterranean Region (AFR/EMR); +34.7% in America-Nord Region (AMR-N)]. HSCT utilization was skewed towards high-resource regions [in 2016: AMR-N 18.4%, Europe (EUR) 17.9%, South-East Asia/Western Pacific Region (SEAR/WPR) 11.7%, America-South Region (AMR-S) 4.5% and AFR/EMR 2.8%]. For patients70 years of age, this difference in utilization was widened; AMR-N had the highest allogeneic utilization rate, increasing from 2009 to 2016 (30.6% to 39.9%) with continued low utilization observed in AFR/EMR (1.7% to 2.9%) and AMR-S (3.5% to 5.4%). Across all regions, total HSCT for AML in 1HSCT remains a central curative treatment modality in AML. Allogeneic HSCT for AML is rising globally but there are marked variations in regional utilization and practices, including types of graft source. Resource-constrained regions have the largest growth in HSCT use, but utilization rates remain low with a predilection for familial related donor sources and are typically offered in CR1. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the reasons, including economic factors, to understand and address these health inequalities and improve discrepancies in use of HSCT as a potentially curative treatment globally.

Introducción. La enfermedad granulomatosa crónica es una inmunodeficiencia primaria causada por mutaciones en los genes que codifican para las proteínas del sistema de la oxidasa de NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate) de las células fagocíticas, las cuales afectan la producción de especies reactivas del oxígeno y la actividad microbicida. Actualmente, la única terapia curativa para esta enfermedad es la reconstitución inmune mediante el trasplante de células madre hematopoyéticas. Objetivo. Reportar la caracterización clínica y molecular de un paciente con enfermedad granulomatosa crónica ligada al cromosoma X y su reconstitución inmunitaria exitosa mediante el trasplante de células madre hematopoyéticas. Materiales y métodos. El estallido respiratorio en neutrófilos de sangre periférica se midió por citometría de flujo mediante la prueba de oxidación de la dihidrorrodamina 123 (DHR 123). El análisis de las mutaciones del gen CYBB se hizo mediante reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) en el ADN complementario y la secuenciación e hibridación genómica comparativa en el ADN genómico. En el trasplante se emplearon células madre del hermano menor con HLA idéntico, y previamente se hizo un acondicionamiento de intensidad reducida. La reconstitución inmunitaria después del trasplante se evaluó periódicamente con hemoleucogramas y la prueba DHR 123 en neutrófilos de sangre periférica. Resultados. El diagnóstico de la enfermedad granulomatosa crónica ligada al cromosoma X se estableció como resultado de una deleción hemicigota en la banda Xp21.1 que implicó la deleción completa del CYBB. La toma de injerto postrasplante para plaquetas y neutrófilos fue en los días 10 y 11, respectivamente. En el día 30 después del trasplante se logró la reconstitución hematológica completa y en los tres años siguientes no se observaron complicaciones ni infecciones. Conclusión. El trasplante de células madre hematopoyéticas permite la reconstitución completa de la función inmunitaria relacionada con la actividad microbicida de las células fagocíticas de pacientes con enfermedad granulomatosa crónica ligada al cromosoma X.

- Abstract
Introducción: el carfilzomib es uno de los medicamentos más usados en el rescate de pacientes con mieloma recaído o refractarios (MMRR). Los estudios CHAMPION y ARROW mostraron que una dosis semanal de 70 mg/m2 más dexametasona fue igual de segura y eficaz, pero más conveniente que dos dosis de 27 mg/m2. Durante la pandemia ha sido indispensable minimizar la exposición de pacientes con cáncer al SARS-Cov-2 por lo que disminuir a la mitad el número de idas al hospital es importante. Por lo anterior, en nuestro centro los pacientes que reciben carfilzomib, solo o en combinación, fueron cambiados o iniciados con una dosis semanal de 70 mg/m2. Dado que son muy escasos los informes acerca del uso de una dosis semanal en combinación con lenalidomida o ciclofosfamida, presentamos nuestra experiencia en 12 pacientes. Materiales y métodos: se revisaron retrospectivamente los expedientes de los pacientes con MMRR que recibieron carfilzomib en 2020 y se incluyeron en esta serie aquellos que fueron tratados con una dosis semanal de 70 mg/m2 y fue combinado con lenalidomida o ciclofosfamida y dexametasona. Se evaluó tipo de mieloma, número de terapias previas, antecedentes cardiovasculares, tolerancia y respuesta al tratamiento. La definición de recaída y de tipo de respuesta se realizó según los criterios de IMWG. La tolerancia y los eventos adversos se analizaron en todos los pacientes y la respuesta en aquellos que habían recibido al menos 2 ciclos. Resultados I: doce pacientes cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, promedio de edad: 61 años (R:53-77), 8 mujeres. Al diagnóstico el ISS fue clasificado como 3 en 5 casos, dos en 3, y en 5 no estuvo disponible. Ocho tuvieron MM IgG, 2 IgA y dos MM de cadenas livianas. Diez de 12 habían recibido tres o más líneas de terapia y 10 habían sido trasplantados. Once habían sido expuestos a bortezomib y lenalidomida y 6 fueron resistentes a lenalidomida. Cinco de 12 eran hipertensos en buen control y ninguno tenía cardiopatía. El esquema consistió en una primera dosis de carfilzomib 20 mg/m2 y luego 70 mg/m2 IV días 1,7,15, dexametasona 40 mgs IV días 1,7,15 y ciclofosfamida 300 mgs/m2 IV días 1,7,15(KCD) o lenalidomida 15-25 mg VO días 1 a 21 (KRD). Todos recibieron aciclovir profiláctico. Resultados II: siete pacientes recibieron KCD y 5 KRD; el número medio de ciclos administrados fue 6,5 (r: 2-10), 3 pacientes recibieron 4 ciclos de KCD luego de haber recibido 8, 9 y 10 ciclos con carfilzomib 36 mg/m2 dos veces por semana. Una paciente falleció en casa luego de la tercera dosis del segundo ciclo de KCD, posiblemente por edema pulmonar. Tres de 5 tuvieron trombocitopenia grado III que ameritó disminuir la dosis de lenalidomida en dos, y en uno fue necesario suspenderla. Tres de 5 necesitaron transfusión de glóbulos rojos, un paciente con KCD tuvo trombosis venosa asociada a catéter y no hubo infecciones que ameritaran hospitalización. Once pacientes fueron evaluables para respuesta; 6 tuvieron respuesta parcial (RP), 3 muy buena respuesta parcial (MBRP) y dos respuestas completas (RC). Un paciente que recibió KCD y tuvo RP progresó luego de 12 ciclos totales. Cuatro pacientes suspendieron la combinación por muerte, progresión, trombocitopenia y decisión propia, respectivamente. Conclusión: el uso de una dosis semanal de carfilzomib 70 mg/m2, combinado con lenalidomida o ciclofosfamida, más dexametasona fue factible. Ocurrió una muerte por un posible evento cardiovascular, los otros eventos adversos fueron los esperados en una población con edad media de 61 años y en la que el 83 % había recibido tres o más líneas de terapia y trasplante. El 91 % del grupo había recibido bortezomib y lenalidomida y el 50 % era resistente a ella, sin embargo, hubo respuesta en todos los casos y en 5 igual o mayor a MBRP. Una dosis semanal de carfilzomib combinada con ciclofosfomida o lenalidomida parece segura, es más conveniente y expone menos al paciente al SARS-Cov-2; sin embargo, se ameritan más estudios.

- Abstract
Introducción: los pacientes sometidos a un trasplante haploidéntico de progenitores hematopoyéticos con ciclofosfamida pos trasplante (HaploPTCy) son considerados de alto riesgo para infección fúngica invasiva (IFI). Las guías ECIL 3 sugieren en ellos el uso de profilaxis universal anti mohos (Nivel BII). Sin embargo, no existen estudios que avalen cuál es la mejor estrategia en este grupo de enfermos. Informamos nuestra experiencia con el uso universal de fluconazol y una estrategia intensiva para la detección precoz de mohos, como medida para prevenir la mortalidad por IFI en pacientes sometidos a Haplo PTCy. Materiales y métodos: revisión retrospectiva de historias clínicas e inclusión de todos los pacientes que recibieron Haplo-PTCy y profilaxis primaria contra IFI en un período de cuatro años. Quienes necesitaron profilaxis secundaria por episodio previo de IFI fueron excluidos. La estrategia consistió de internamiento en habitación con aire a presión positiva filtrado por HEPA, fluconazol 400 mg/día desde d- 8 hasta d+ 60, determinación dos veces por semana de galactomannan durante los primeros dos años del protocolo y luego solo para evaluación de síntomas. Ante la persistencia de fiebre o para el análisis de hallazgos respiratorios, se realizó TAC de tórax y de senos paranasales y se recomendó practicar lavado broncoalveolar para la evaluación de infiltrados pulmonares. Se permitió el uso empírico de caspofungina en casos sospechosos, mientras la IFI fue corroborada o descartada. El diagnóstico de IFI se realizó de acuerdo a los criterios de EORTC 2008. Todos los pacientes consintieron previamente la revisión de sus historias. Resultados: 112 pacientes de 120 cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. El régimen preparatorio usado fue fludarabina mas melfalán o busulfán y radioterapia corporal total 200 a 400 cGy. Las características principales del grupo se presentan en la Tabla 1. La incidencia acumulativa de IFI al día + 100 fue 6.2 %, 4 casos probables y 3 posibles. En los probables el diagnóstico fue aspergilosis en 3 y neumonía por candida en 1, en los 3 posibles, la sospecha fue aspergilosis. El tiempo medio al diagnóstico de IFI fue 43 días (rango 12-92). Quince pacientes recibieron caspofungina empíricamente y en 5 de ellos (33 %) se corroboró una IFI. De los 7 casos con IFI 3 murieron después de 5.18 y 30 días de tratamiento; todos ellos tuvieron, además, al momento de la muerte bacteremia, sepsis y falla multiorgánica. La mortalidad total asociada a IFI en 112 pacientes fue 2.6 %. Conclusión: la incidencia de IFI en nuestra cohorte fue de 6.2 %, valor situado en el rango inferior de lo informado con el uso de Haplo-PTCy que varía entre 8 y 15 % y es ligeramente superior al umbral del 5 % sobre el cual las guías ECIL 3 recomiendan el uso universal de profilaxis antimohos. Los datos obtenidos en esta cohorte de más de 100 pacientes agregan conocimiento nuevo acerca de la manera óptima de prevenir IFI en este grupo. A pesar de que es difícil realizar comparaciones entre estudios, nuestros hallazgos permiten inferir que el uso de fluconazol más una estrategia intensiva de diagnóstico dirigido a la detección temprana de mohos, es suficiente y adecuada para prevenir y detectar la IFI en pacientes sometidos a HaploPTCy y que probablemente no sea necesario el uso de profilaxis universal contra mohos en ellos. Sin embargo, es necesario realizar estudios clínicos prospectivos bien estructurados, para responder finalmente la pregunta ¿cuál es la mejor alternativa en este grupo de enfermos?

- Abstract
Presentación del caso: mujer de 54 años con diagnóstico de mieloma múltiple en junio de 2018 soportado por insuficiencia renal, múltiples lesiones líticas, médula ósea con 35 % de células plasmáticas con expresión monotípica de cadenas ligeras lambda y un cariotipo 46xx(17)/hipodiploide(6). Recibió CyBorD por 6 ciclos y luego trasplante autólogo de progenitores hematopoyéticos en marzo de 2019 con respuesta completa; inmunofijación negativa inició lenalidomida de mantenimiento en mayo de ese año. En abril de 2020 se evidencia lesión vascularizada en cámara anterior proveniente de iris (Imagen 1), ecografía ocular informa lesión sólida que se origina en el iris y la RNM contrastada de órbitas confirmó nódulo sólido ocupando la cámara anterior del globo ocular derecho de 8.4 x 5.3 x 6.2 mm (Imagen2). La biopsia de masa del iris derecho fue compatible con plasmocitoma con expresión monotípica de cadenas ligeras lambda, CD 138 positivo en abundantes plasmocitos, sox-10 negativo, cd56 negativo. Se descartó enfermedad sistémica con electroforesis de proteínas sin pico monoclonal, inmunofijación sérica negativa, cadenas libres kappa y lambda normales y mielograma con solo 0.1 % de plasmocitos anormales. PET CT sin actividad metabólica tumoral y diagnóstico definitivo de plasmocitoma solitario en iris derecho como recaída temprana de mieloma múltiple posquimioterapia y trasplante autólogo de progenitores hematopoyéticos. El grupo de radioterapia concluyó imposibilidad de radioterapia externa al iris sin dañar el resto de estructuras oculares y no disponibilidad de braquiterapia ocular con placa. Durante la evolución la paciente presenta pérdida progresiva de la agudeza visual y se evidencia aumento del tamaño de la lesión ocular (Imagen 3). Ante la imposibilidad de radioterapia se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de datos acerca de la concentración y biodisponibilidad de agentes anti mieloma en la cámara anterior del ojo, la cual fue infructuosa, al igual que la consulta a las compañías farmacéuticas productoras de estos. Sin embargo, oftalmología informó que la masa era muy vascularizada y que existía la posibilidad de aceptable penetración de medicamentos a ella vía sanguínea. Se inició manejo con ciclofosfamida, etopósido, bortezomib y dexametasona. Posterior al primer ciclo reporta recuperación parcial de agudeza visual y se evidencia disminución del tamaño de la lesión ocular. Al momento de este reporte ha recibido 5 ciclos de quimioterapia con buena tolerancia y disminución significativa del tamaño de la lesión con recuperación casi completa de agudeza visual. Discusión: los plasmocitomas en el iris son extremadamente raros, según nuestro conocimiento existen menos de diez casos informados en la literatura. No es clara su génesis, pero es posible que se deba a siembra hematógena a través de los vasos de esta estructura. El tratamiento en la mayoría de los informes ha sido con radioterapia o cirugía, debido en parte a la falta de información acerca de la concentración lograda en la cámara anterior del ojo por los agentes anti mieloma. En este caso hubo una rápida y profunda respuesta a la combinación de ciclofosfamida, bortezomib, etopósido y dexametasona. Esto sugiere que es posible lograr concentraciones terapéuticas en el plasmocitoma a través de los vasos del iris que nutren la neoplasia, lo cual abre otra posibilidad para su tratamiento.

- Abstract
Introducción: el 5 a 15 % de los pacientes sometidos a un trasplante autólogo de progenitores hematopoyéticos (TAPH) por mieloma o linfoma, no logra movilizar un número mínimo de células CD34 para obtener una cosecha suficiente para restaurar la hematopoyesis luego de un TAPH. El uso de plerixafor logra rescatar cerca del 70 % de ellos. Este medicamento viene en viales de 24 mg, la dosis estándar es de 0.24 mg/kg, equivalente a 18 mg para un paciente de 75 kilos, quedando un remanente de 6 mg por vial. El plerixafor tiene una estabilidad, luego de la obtención de la primera dosis, de hasta 84 días, lo que permite utilizar los remanentes durante ese tiempo. Informamos los resultados del uso de emergencia y compasivo de una dosis fija de 12 mg para rescatar malos movilizadores. Materiales y métodos: se revisaron las historias de todos los pacientes con mieloma o linfoma que recibieron un TPHA en nuestro centro en 2020. Se incluyeron para este informe pacientes que necesitaron uso de emergencia de pleraxifor y en quienes por motivos logísticos o administrativos no estaba disponible la dosis estándar, y recibieron 12 mg utilizando remanentes almacenados asépticamente a temperatura ambiente. La definición de mal movilizador utilizada fue la recomendada por consenso de EBMT: recuento de CD34 en sangre el día cuatro de movilización menor a 10 por uL o falla en obtener durante una aféresis de gran volumen la mitad del número de CD34 esperado para el trasplante. La movilización y cosecha consistió en filgrastim 7.5 mg/kg BID por cinco días y luego la realización de una o dos aféresis de 4 o 5 volemias. Todos los pacientes recibieron explicación del uso compasivo del plerixafor y autorizaron su aplicación. También consintieron la revisión anónima de sus expedientes clínicos. Resultados I: siete pacientes de 70 cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, 3 eran mujeres, con edad promedio de 56 años (R: 32-68) y peso medio de 66.5 kg (R: 48-80). El diagnóstico fue mieloma 5, tres de ellos expuestos a lenalidomida y los restantes a dos o más líneas de tratamiento; uno recibió un TPHA previo, dos tuvieron linfoma y una media de 11 ciclos de quimioterapia pre TPHA. Cinco de los 7 casos tuvieron un recuento de CD34 en sangre el día cuatro de movilización menor a 10/uL y 2 un recuento insuficiente de CD34/kg en la primera cosecha. Seis recibieron una sola dosis de 12 mg de pleraxifor 12 horas antes de la aféresis un día y uno necesitó dos días. La media de CD34/kg obtenido pos plerixafor fue 1.65 (R: 0.5-3.42) y el total, considerando 2 aféresis, fue en X: 2.09 (R: 1.5-3.4). Resultados II: todos los pacientes recibieron condicionamiento mieloablativo y filgrastim postrasplante. En el 100 % de los casos hubo recuperación hematopoyética; el tiempo medio en días para producción autónoma de neutrófilos y plaquetas fue de 11.14 (R 10-12) y 21 (R 16:25) respectivamente. La mortalidad relacionada con el trasplante al día 100 fue cero y ningún paciente ha tenido pancitopenia secundaria. Conclusiones: a. En esta serie de 7 pacientes con mieloma y linfoma, el uso compasivo de una dosis de 12 mg de pleraxifor (1/2) ampolla, fue efectiva en el rescate de pacientes malos movilizadores en la totalidad de los casos; b. La utilización de remanentes de pleraxifor almacenados asépticamente y dentro de los tres meses posteriores a la primera dosis parece segura; c. El peso promedio de un latinoamericano es de 75-80 kg, esto deja un remanente de 5-6 mg de pleraxifor por vial. Teniendo en cuenta la estabilidad del producto y su precio, parecer ser costo efectivo realizar un estudio de optimización y aprovechamiento de dosis. Esto sería especialmente importante en regiones con dificultades económicas. Aclaración: el uso de dosis fija de 12 mg de plerixafor fue compasivo y no está aprobado por ninguna autoridad regulatoria.

- Abstract
The Worldwide Network of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) pursues the mission of promoting hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for instance by evaluating activities through member societies, national registries and individual centers. In 2016, 82,718 first HCT were reported by 1,662 HCT teams in 86 of the 195 World Health Organization member states representing a global increase of 6.2% in autologous HCT and 7.0% in allogeneic HCT and bringing the total to 1,298,897 procedures. Assuming a frequency of 84,000/year, 1.5 million HCT were performed by 2019 since 1957. Slightly more autologous (53.5%) than allogeneic and more related (53.6%) than unrelated HCT were reported. A remarkable increase was noted in haploidentical related HCT for leukemias and lymphoproliferative diseases, but even more in non-malignant diseases. Transplant rates (TR; HCT/10 million population) varied according to region reaching 560.8 in North America, 438.5 in Europe, 76.7 in Latin America, 53.6 in South East Asia/Western Pacific (SEA/WPR) and 27.8 in African/East Mediterranean (AFR/EMR). Interestingly, haploidentical TR amounted to 32% in SEA/WPR and 26% in Latin America, but only 14% in Europe and EMR and 4.9% in North America of all allogeneic HCT. HCT team density (teams/10 million population) was highest in Europe (7.7) followed by North America (6.0), SEA/WPR (1.9), Latin America (1.6) and AFR/EMR (0.4). HCT are increasing steadily worldwide with narrowing gaps between regions and greater increase in allogeneic compared to autologous activity. While related HCT is rising, largely due to increase in haploidentical HCT, unrelated HCT is plateauing and cord blood HCT is in decline.

- Abstract
Information on Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is mostly limited to Europe and North America. Thisreal-world, retrospective study assessed treatment pathways and clinical outcomes in adults withstage IIB–IV classical HL receiving frontline treatment (n¼1598) or relapsed/refractory HL (RRHL,n¼426) in regions outside Europe and North America between January 2010 and December2013. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) in the RRHL group. Amongpatients with RRHL, 89.0% received salvage chemotherapy; most common regimen was etopo-side, methylprednisolone, cytarabine, cisplatin (ESHAP; 26.3%). Median PFS in the RRHL groupwas 13.2months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.9–20.2) and was longer in patients withvs.with-out stem cell transplantation (SCT; 20.6vs.7.5 months;p¼0.0071). This large-scale study identi-fied a lower PFS for RRHL in the rest of the world compared with Europe and North America,highlighting the need for novel targeted therapies and SCT earlier in the treatment continuum., This study was funded by Takeda Pharmaceuticals International AG - Singapore Branch.

A total of 5642 hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT) in 5445 patients (2196-40% allogeneic and 3249-60% autologous) were reported by 127 teams in 14 Latin American countries that answered the 2018 LABMT/WBMT Global Transplant Activity survey. The transplant rate (defined as the number of first transplants per 10 million inhabitants per year) was 85 (51 autologous and 34 allogeneic) in 2018. The main indications for allogeneic HCT were acute leukemias (60%), while plasma cell disorders and lymphomas were the most common conditions warranting autologous HCT (50 and 36%, respectively). In the allogeneic HCT, HLA-identical siblings were the main type of donor (44%) followed by related mismatched/haploidentical donors (32%). Peripheral blood stem cells were used in 98% of the autologous and in 64% of the allogeneic transplants. From 2012 to 2018, there was a 64% increase of reported HCT (54% in autologous and 80% in allogeneic). In the allogeneic setting, the most pronounced increase in donor type was observed in haploidentical relatives (from 94 procedures in 2012 up to 710 in 2018), surpassing unrelated donors as of 2017. Significant trends detected in Latin America include rising numbers of the procedures reported, a faster increase in allogeneic HCT compared with autologous HCT and a significant increase in family mismatched/haploidentical donors. The LABMT/WBMT activity survey provides useful data to understand the HCT activity and trends in Latin America.

We compared outcomes of 1461 adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) receiving hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from a haploidentical (n = 487) or matched unrelated donor (MUD; n = 974) between January 2005 and June 2018. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for haploidentical, and CNI with MMF or methotrexate with/without antithymoglobulin for MUDs. Haploidentical recipients were matched (1:2 ratio) with MUD controls for sex, conditioning intensity, disease stage, Philadelphia-chromosome status, and cytogenetic risk. In the myeloablative setting, day +28 neutrophil recovery was similar between haploidentical (87%) and MUD (88%) (P = .11). Corresponding rates after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) were 84% and 88% (P = .47). The 3-month incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) and 3-year chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was similar after haploidentical compared with MUD: myeloablative conditioning, 33% vs 34% (P = .46) for aGVHD and 29% vs 31% for cGVHD (P = .58); RIC, 31% vs 30% (P = .06) for aGVHD and 24% vs 29% for cGVHD (P = .86). Among patients receiving myeloablative regimens, 3-year probabilities of overall survival were 44% and 51% with haploidentical and MUD (P = .56). Corresponding rates after RIC were 43% and 42% (P = .6). In this large multicenter case-matched retrospective analysis, despite the limitations of a registry-based study (ie, unavailability of key elements such as minimal residual disease testing), our analysis indicated that outcomes of patients with ALL undergoing HCT from a haploidentical donor were comparable with 8 of 8 MUD transplantations.

Aim of the study The socio-economic impact of caring for a cancer patient in the family is unknown in Colombia. This survey aimed to evaluate the existence of financial burden caused by cancer on the caregiving families of terminally ill patients. Methods We used the Covinsky Family Impact Scale in a telephone survey with families of patients who died from cancer between May 2019 and June 2020 in three Colombian hospitals. Results We obtained answers of 176 caregivers, of whom 74.4 % indicated to have experienced at least one hardship of the Covinsky items. The most commonly reported financial hardship involved the use of all or most of the family savings for the care provided to the patient (45.6 %); 27.6 % indicated that a major source of family income was lost. A quarter (25 %) postponed educational or other important plans of family members and 10–11 % indicated to have moved to another home or postponed medical treatments. Conclusion In Colombia, a country with universal health coverage, substantial financial impacts of terminal cancer care exist not only for patients, but also for family members and other caregivers. The system is failing to avoid financial toxicity of cancer among this group. Policy summary statement Informal caregivers are of vital importance for cancer patients but also to the healthcare system, particularly in LMICs. It is very important for policy makers to consider the hardships, not only emotionally but also financially, that the care for a (terminally ill) cancer patient implies on caregivers.
