Traditional weight-based dosing of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) used in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and graft rejection leads to variable exposures. High exposures induce delayed CD4+immune reconstitution (CD4+IR) and greater mortality. We sought to determine the impact of rATG exposure in children and young adults receiving various types of EX-VIVO T-cell-depleted (EX-VIVO-TCD) HCT.
Patients receiving their first EX-VIVO-TCD HCT (CliniMACS CD34+, Isolex or soybean lectin agglutination), with removal of residual T cells by E-rosette depletion (E-) between 2008 and 2018 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center were retrospectively analyzed. rATG exposure post-HCT was estimated (AUd/L) using a validated population pharmacokinetic model. Previously defined rATG-exposures, <30, 30-55, ≥55 AUd/L, were related with outcomes of interest. Cox proportional hazard and cause-specific models were used for analyses.
In total, 180 patients (median age 11 years; range 0.1-44 years) were included, malignant 124 (69%) and nonmalignant 56 (31%). Median post-HCT rATG exposure was 32 (0-104) AUd/L. Exposure <30 AUd/L was associated with a 3-fold greater probability of CD4+IR (P < 0.001); 2- to 4-fold lower risk of death (P = 0.002); and 3- to 4-fold lower risk of non-relapse mortality (NRM) (P = 0.02). Cumulative incidence of NRM was 8-fold lower in patients who attained CD4+IR compared with those who did not (P < 0.0001). There was no relation between rATG exposure and aGVHD (P = 0.33) or relapse (P = 0.23). Effect of rATG exposure on outcomes was similar in three EX-VIVO-TCD methods.
Individualizing rATG dosing to target a low rATG exposure post-HCT while maintaining total cumulative exposure may better predict CD4+IR, reduce NRM and increase overall survival, independent of the EX-VIVO-TCD method.
背景 目的:在异基因造血细胞移植(HCT)中,为预防移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)和移植物排斥,传统上采用基于体重的兔抗胸腺细胞球蛋白(rATG)剂量方案,但该方案会导致个体间药物暴露量存在差异。高暴露量会导致迟发性 CD4+免疫重建(CD4+IR)和更高的死亡率。我们旨在确定在接受各种类型的体外 T 细胞清除(EX-VIVO-TCD)HCT 的儿童和年轻成人中,rATG 暴露量的影响。
回顾性分析了 2008 年至 2018 年期间在 Memorial Sloan Kettering 癌症中心接受首次 EX-VIVO-TCD HCT(CliniMACS CD34+、Isolex 或大豆凝集素凝集)的患者,这些患者通过 E-玫瑰花结耗竭(E-)清除残留 T 细胞。使用验证的群体药代动力学模型估算 HCT 后 rATG 的暴露量(AUd/L)。<30、30-55、≥55 AUd/L 三个 rATG 暴露组与感兴趣的结局相关。采用 Cox 比例风险和原因特异性模型进行分析。
共纳入 180 例患者(中位年龄 11 岁;范围 0.1-44 岁),恶性疾病 124 例(69%),非恶性疾病 56 例(31%)。中位 HCT 后 rATG 暴露量为 32(0-104)AUd/L。暴露量<30 AUd/L 与 CD4+IR 发生的可能性增加 3 倍相关(P<0.001);死亡风险降低 2-4 倍(P=0.002);非复发死亡率(NRM)降低 3-4 倍(P=0.02)。与未发生 CD4+IR 的患者相比,发生 CD4+IR 的患者 NRM 累积发生率降低 8 倍(P<0.0001)。rATG 暴露与急性移植物抗宿主病(aGVHD)(P=0.33)或复发(P=0.23)无关。rATG 暴露对结局的影响在三种 EX-VIVO-TCD 方法中相似。
在维持总累积暴露量的同时,将 HCT 后 rATG 剂量个体化以达到低 rATG 暴露量,可能更好地预测 CD4+IR,降低 NRM,提高总生存率,而与 EX-VIVO-TCD 方法无关。
