In the letermovir primary prophylaxis (LET-PP) era, the epidemiology of human cytomegalovirus infection (HCMV-i) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) recipients has changed.
We prospectively evaluated incidence and risk factors for clinically significant (CS) HCMV-i at 180 days from transplant and 1-year overall survival in 1310 allo-HSCTs performed from January 2021 to March 2022 according to LET-PP use.
The cumulative incidence of CS-HCMV-i at 100 and 180 days from transplant was 3.8% and 16%, respectively, in patients who received LET-PP, and 14% and 17% in patients who did not. Variables associated with increased risk of CS-HCMV-i in patients who received LET-PP included transplant from an HCMV-seronegative donor, transplant from a donor other than matched related, >20 days to engraftment, and acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Transplant in HCMV-seropositive recipients was associated with increased risk of CS-HCMV-i in patients who did not receive LET-PP. One-year overall survival after transplant was 81.1%. Acute leukemia, disease not in remission at transplant, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status >1, >20 days to engraftment, acute GVHD, CS Epstein-Barr virus DNAemia, gram-negative bacteremia, and invasive fungal disease were associated with increased mortality in patients who received LET-PP. HCMV recipient seropositivity, Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity Index score ≥3, and gram-negative bacteremia were associated with increased mortality in patients who did not receive LET-PP.
In patients who received LET-PP, recipient/donor serology no longer correlates with early CS-HCMV-i whereas it still predicts late CS-HCMV-i as well as risk of CS-HCMV-i in patients who did not receive LET-PP. Donor serology, CS-HCMV-i and HCMV disease no longer impact survival in allo-HSCT recipients who receive LET-PP. . NCT04412811.
在来特莫韦初级预防(LET-PP)时代,异基因造血干细胞移植(allo-HSCT)受者中人类巨细胞病毒感染(HCMV-i)的流行病学已发生变化。
我们根据LET-PP的使用情况,对2021年1月至2022年3月进行的1310例allo-HSCT受者在移植后180天发生临床显著(CS)HCMV-i的发生率和危险因素以及1年总生存率进行了前瞻性评估。
接受LET-PP的患者在移植后100天和180天CS-HCMV-i的累积发生率分别为3.8%和16%,未接受LET-PP的患者分别为14%和17%。接受LET-PP的患者中与CS-HCMV-i风险增加相关的变量包括来自HCMV血清学阴性供者的移植、来自非匹配相关供者的移植、移植后>20天植入以及急性移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)。在未接受LET-PP的患者中,HCMV血清学阳性受者的移植与CS-HCMV-i风险增加相关。移植后1年总生存率为81.1%。急性白血病、移植时疾病未缓解、东部肿瘤协作组体能状态>1、移植后>20天植入、急性GVHD、CS Epstein-Barr病毒血症、革兰阴性菌血症和侵袭性真菌病与接受LET-PP的患者死亡率增加相关。HCMV受者血清学阳性、造血细胞移植合并症指数评分≥3和革兰阴性菌血症与未接受LET-PP的患者死亡率增加相关。
在接受LET-PP的患者中,受者/供者血清学不再与早期CS-HCMV-i相关,而在未接受LET-PP的患者中,它仍可预测晚期CS-HCMV-i以及CS-HCMV-i风险。供者血清学、CS-HCMV-i和HCMV疾病不再影响接受LET-PP的allo-HSCT受者的生存。. NCT04412811。
