    Autologous Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Mobilization and Collection in Adult Patients Presenting with Multiple Myeloma and Lymphoma: A Position-Statement from The Turkish Society of Apheresis (TSA)
    (2017) Tekgunduz, Emre; Arat, Mutlu; Goker, Hakan; Ozdogu, Hakan; Kaynar, Leylagul; Cagirgan, Seckin; Erkurt, Mehmet Ali; Vural, Filiz; Kiki, Ilhami; Altuntas, Fevzi; Demirkan, Fatih; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8902-1283; 29153306; AAD-5542-2021
    Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is a routinely used procedure in the treatment of adult patients presenting with multiple myeloma (MM), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and various subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in upfront and relapsed/refractory settings. Successful hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization (HPCM) and collection are the rate limiting first steps for application of AHCT. In 2015, alinost 1700 AHCT procedures have been performed for MM, HL and NHL in Turkey. Although there are recently published consensus guidelines addressing critical issues regarding autologous HPCM, there is a tremendous heterogeneity in terms of mobilization strategies of transplant centers across the world. In order to pave the way to a more standardized HPCM approach in Turkey, Turkish Society of Apheresis (TSA) assembled a working group consisting of experts in the field. Here we report the position statement of TSA regarding autologous HPCM mobilization strategies in adult patients presenting with MM and lymphoma. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is an established treatment option for adult patients presenting with multiple myeloma (MM), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and various subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in upfront and/or relapsed/refractory disease settings. Although there are recently published consensus guidelines addressing critical issues regarding autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization (HPCM), mobilization strategies of transplant centers show high variability in terms of routine practice. In order to understand the current institutional policies regarding HPCM in Turkey and to obtain the required basic data for preparation of a national positional statement on this issue, Turkish Hematology Research and Education Group (ThREG) conducted a web-based HPCM survey. The survey was designed to include multiple-choice questions regarding institutional practice of HPCM in adults presenting MM, HL, and NHL. The representatives of 27 adult HCT centers participated to the study. Here we report the results of this survey shedding light on the real world experience in Turkey in terms of autologous HPCM mobilization strategies in patients presenting with MM and lymphoma.

    Improved Outcomes of Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation with Total Body Irradiation-Based Myeloablative Conditioning in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
    (2021) Dholaria, Bhagirathbhai; Labopin, Myriam; Angelucci, Emanuele; Tischer, Johanna; Arat, Mutlu; Ciceri, Fabio; Guelbas, Zafer; Sica, Simona; Ozdogu, Hakan; Diez-Martin, Jose Luis; Koc, Yener; Pavlu, Jiri; Socie, Gerard; Giebel, Sebastian; Savani, Bipin N.; Nagler, Arnon; Mohty, Mohamad; 0000-0002-8902-1283; 33830029; AAD-5542-2021
    The optimal myeloablative conditioning (MAC) for patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) is unknown. We studied the outcomes of total body irradiation (TBI)-based versus chemotherapy (CT)-based MAC regimens in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The study included 427 patients who underwent first haplo-HCT with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), following TBI-based (n = 188; 44%) or CT-based (n = 239; 56%) MAC. The median patient age was 32 years. Fludarabine-TBI (72%) and thiotepa-busulfan-fludarabine (65%) were the most frequently used TBI- and CT-based regimens, respectively. In the TBI and CT cohorts, 2-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) was 45% versus 37% (P = .05), overall survival (OS) was 51% versus 47% (P = .18), relapse incidence (RI) was 34% versus 32% (P = .44), and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was 21% versus 31% (P < .01). In the multivariate analysis, TBI was associated with lower NRM (hazard ratio [HR], 0.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33 to 0.86; P = .01), better LFS (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.98; P =.04), and increased risk for grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (HR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.08 to 2.34; P = .02) compared with CT-based MAC. The type of conditioning regimen did not impact RI, chronic GVHD, OS, or GVHD-free, relapse-free survival after adjusting for transplantation-related variables. TBI-based MAC was associated with lower NRM and better LFS compared with CT-based MAC in patients with ALL after haplo-HCT/PTCy.

    A Comparison of the BEAM and MITO/MEL Conditioning Regimens for Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Hodgkin Lymphoma: An Analysis of Efficiency and Treatment-Related Toxicity
    (2020) Yeral, Mahmut; Aytan, Pelin; Gungor, Burcu; Boga, Can; Unal, Ali; Koc, Yener; Kaynar, Leylagul; Buyukkurt, Nurhilal; Eser, Bulent; Ozdogu, Hakan; 0000-0002-8902-1283; 0000-0002-0895-4787; 0000-0002-9680-1958; 0000-0002-9580-628X; 32605899; AAD-5542-2021; AAE-1457-2021; AAD-6222-2021
    In this multicenter retrospective study, we compared the efficacy and toxicity of BEAM (BCNU, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) and MITO/MEL (mitoxantrone, melphalan) preparation regimens. The 3-year expected overall survival for the MIT/MEL and BEAM were 86.1% and 91.3%, respectively. The MITO/MEL seems to be as effective as the BEAM but has better tolerability in terms of pulmonary toxicity and may be used as an alternative option. Background: Approximately half of patients with relapsed chemosensitive disease achieve robust responses with BEAM (BCNU, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) and autologous stem cell rescue. The scarcity of comparative studies further limits alternative treatment protocols, such as the MITO/MEL (mitoxantrone, melphalan) protocol. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective multicenter study, we compared the BEAM and MITO/MEL regimens used before autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in terms of efficacy and side effects in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. Data met international accreditation rules. Before ASCT, 108 patients received the MITO/MEL, and 34 patients received the BEAM. Results: The median follow-up time was 36 months in the MITO/MEL group (range, 3-178) and 23 months in the BEAM group (range, 4-99). After ASCT, the 3-year expected overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 86.1% and 86.1% for the MITO/MEL group and 91.3% and 76.5% for the BEAM group, respectively. Although 50% of patients developed febrile neutropenia attacks in the MITO/MEL group, this rate was 91.1% in the BEAM group. The grade II and higher rates of hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, and cardiac toxicities were similar in both groups. However, the rate of pulmonary toxicity was determined to be 1.9% in the MITO/MEL group and 29.4% in the BEAM group (P < .001). Conclusion: The MITO/MEL conditioning regimen seems to be as effective as the BEAM regimen but has better tolerability in terms of pulmonary toxicity and may be used as an alternative option if necessary, depending on the comorbidity status of the patient.
