Abstract
Background: Unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and haploidentical transplantation using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy-haplo) are alternatives for patients lacking a human leukocyte antigen-matched donor. CD34+ cell counts in cord blood affect transplantation outcomes, particularly nonrelapse mortality (NRM).
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to compare the transplantation outcomes after UCBT and PTCy-haplo focusing on CD34+ cell counts in cord blood.
Study design: This retrospective study used data from 2014 to 2020 from a Japanese nationwide database. UCBT cases were divided into those with UCBT with higher (UCB-H; ≥0.84 × 105/kg) and lower (UCB-L; <0.84 × 105/kg) CD34+ cell counts, depending on the median CD34+ cell count.
Results: The study cohort comprised cases of PTCy-haplo (n = 1,142), UCB-H (n = 3,185), and UCB-L (n = 3,172). In the multivariate analysis, neutrophil engraftment was significantly better in the PTCy-haplo than in the UCB-H (hazard ratio [HR], 0.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.57-0.70; P < 0.001) and UCB-L groups (HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.41-0.50; P < 0.001). The UCB-H group showed similar NRM (HR, 1.19, 95% CI, 1.00-1.43, P = 0.051) and OS (HR, 1.05, 95% CI, 0.94-1.18, P = 0.38) compared with PTCy-haplo, whereas UCB-L was significantly associated with poor NRM (HR, 1.35, 95% CI, 1.13-1.61, P = 0.001) and OS (HR, 1.13, 95% CI, 1.01-1.26, P = 0.038). In contrast, the UCB-H (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.75-0.98; P = 0.027) and UCB-L groups (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.70-0.92; P = 0.001) were associated with lower relapse rate. Regarding the graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), the UCB-H and UCB-L groups were identified as significant risk factors for the development of grade II-IV acute GVHD (UCB-H: HR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.51-1.99; P < 0.001; UCB-L: HR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.35-1.78; P < 0.001) and grade III-IV acute GVHD (UCB-H: HR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.78-2.91; P < 0.001; UCB-L: HR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.44-2.37; P < 0.001), but neither were associated with the incidence of all-grade GVHD (UCB-H: HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.95-1.32; P = 0.16; UCB-L: HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.91-1.27; P = 0.37) or extensive chronic GVHD (UCB-H: HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.68-1.09; P = 0.21; UCB-L: HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.69-1.12; P = 0.31). Furthermore, higher NRM in UCB-L was attributed to higher infection-related mortality (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.15-1.95; P = 0.003) but not GVHD-related mortality (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.82-1.62; P = 0.43), whereas UCB-H was not a significant risk factor for both infection-related mortality (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 0.99-1.69; P = 0.06) and GVHD-related mortality (HR, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.90-1.80; P = 0.16).
Conclusion: UCB-H offered similar NRM and OS to PTCy-haplo, whereas UCB-L had worse outcomes. Our results can provide useful information for optimal donor selection.
