We hypothesized that the inferior disease-free survival (DFS) seen in older patients who underwent αβ-T-cell/CD19-depleted (AB-TCD) haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for hematologic malignancies is caused by excessive exposure to rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG; Thymoglobulin). Between 2015 and 2023, 163 patients with a median age of 13 years (range, 0.4-27.4) underwent AB-TCD haploidentical HCT for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 98), acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (n = 49), or other malignancies (n = 16) at 9 centers in 2 prospective trials. Exposures to rATG before and after HCT were predicted using a validated pharmacokinetic model. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to identify the optimal target windows for rATG exposure in terms of outcomes. We identified 4 quadrants of rATG exposure, namely quadrant 1 (n = 52) with a high pre-HCT area under curve (AUC; ≥50 arbitrary units [AU] per day per milliliter) and a low post-HCT AUC (<12 AU per day per liter); quadrant 2 (n = 47) with a low pre- and post-HCT AUC; quadrant 3 (n = 13) with a low pre-HCT and a high post-HCT AUC; and quadrant 4 (n = 51) with a high pre- and post-HCT AUC. Quadrant 1 had a 3-year DFS of 86.5%, quadrant 2 had a DFS of 64.6%, quadrant 3 had a DFS of 32.9%, and for quadrant 4 it was 48.2%. An adjusted regression analysis demonstrated additional factors that were associated with an increased hazard for worse DFS, namely minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity and cytomegalovirus (CMV) R+/D- serostatus. Nonoptimal rATG exposure exhibited the strongest effect in unadjusted and adjusted (MRD status or CMV serostatus) analyses. High exposure to rATG after HCT was associated with inferior DFS following AB-TCD haploidentical HCT for pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies. Model-based dosing of rATG to achieve optimal exposure may improve DFS. These trials were registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT02646839 and #NCT04337515.
我们假设,在接受 αβ-T 细胞/CD19 耗尽(AB-TCD)单倍体造血细胞移植(HCT)治疗血液系统恶性肿瘤的老年患者中,较低的无病生存(DFS)是由于过度暴露于兔抗胸腺球蛋白(rATG;Thymoglobulin)引起的。在 2015 年至 2023 年期间,在 9 个中心的 2 项前瞻性试验中,有 163 名中位年龄为 13 岁(范围 0.4-27.4)的患者因急性淋巴细胞白血病(n = 98)、急性髓系白血病/骨髓增生异常综合征(n = 49)或其他恶性肿瘤(n = 16)接受 AB-TCD 单倍体 HCT 治疗。使用经过验证的药代动力学模型预测 HCT 前后 rATG 的暴露情况。使用接收者操作特征曲线确定 rATG 暴露在疗效方面的最佳目标窗口。我们确定了 rATG 暴露的 4 个象限,即象限 1(n = 52),其预 HCT 曲线下面积(AUC;每毫升每天每毫克≥50 个任意单位[AU])高,后 HCT AUC 低(<12 AU 每天每升);象限 2(n = 47)预和后 HCT AUC 均较低;象限 3(n = 13)预 HCT 低,后 HCT AUC 高;象限 4(n = 51)预和后 HCT AUC 均较高。象限 1 的 3 年 DFS 为 86.5%,象限 2 的 DFS 为 64.6%,象限 3 的 DFS 为 32.9%,象限 4 的 DFS 为 48.2%。调整后的回归分析表明,其他与较差 DFS 风险增加相关的因素包括微小残留病(MRD)阳性和巨细胞病毒(CMV)R+/D-血清状态。非最佳 rATG 暴露在未调整和调整(MRD 状态或 CMV 血清状态)分析中表现出最强的效果。HCT 后 rATG 暴露过高与儿科血液系统恶性肿瘤患者接受 AB-TCD 单倍体 HCT 后 DFS 较差相关。基于模型的 rATG 剂量给药以实现最佳暴露可能会改善 DFS。这些试验在 www.ClinicalTrials.gov 上注册,分别为 #NCT02646839 和 #NCT04337515。
