Abstrakt: Background: Regular monitoring of CD34 donor chimerism (DC) is a highly sensitive method of predicting relapse in allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT) recipients with AML/MDS. A fall of CD34 DC below 80% is an indicator of ensuing relapse. There are limited studies assessing the efficacy of donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) triggered by mixed CD34 DC (MDC), in addressing falling chimerism.
Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive alloHSCT patients between 2012 to 2023 who received DLI (with or without azacitidine) for CD34 MDC without morphologic relapse at the time of infusion.
Results: Of the 21 patients with follow up CD34 DC available, 14 (66.7%) achieved CD34 full donor chimerism (FDC) following DLI with or without azacitidine (dli-FDC), while 7 (33.3%) did not (dli-MDC). The 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was significantly lower in dli-FDC compared to dli-MDC (21.4% vs. 85.7%, P < 0.001), correlating with superior overall survival (OS; median years not reached vs. 0.67 years [95% CI, 0.58-ND], P < .001). Rates of grade II-IV acute GVHD post-DLI were 14.9%, and moderate-severe cGVHD was 42.8% in the dli-FDC group. The 5-year nonrelapse mortality (NRM) of the dli-FDC group was 7.1% following DLI.
Conclusion: Our study shows the restoration of CD34 FDC post-DLI is associated with reduced relapse and improved overall survival, with low NRM.
