One Strategy to Improve Outcome By Augmenting Cell Dose: Use 2. Retrospective studies suggest improved engraftment & GVL. Barker et al, NEJM 2001, Blood 2003, Blood 2005

MSK Allo Tx for Heme Malignancies 2005-2009: 2 Year PFS After Double-Unit CB vs RD vs URD Transplant 1.0 0.8 0.6 Progression-Free Survival 0.4 0.2 P = 0.573 0.0 0 12 24 36 48 60 Months Post-Transplant CB (n = 75) RD (n = 108) URD (n = 184) Up-front TRM compensated by reduced late mortality 2 Yr PFS after CBT: comparable to RD or URD transplant. Ponce, BBMT 2011
Comparison of Donor-Recipient HLA-Match: CB (n = 75, 150 units) vs URD (n = 184) P < 0.001 Ponce, BBMT 2011 CB grafts: marked HLA-disparity. CD34+ cell dose also much lower: RD 7.9, URD 6.0, CB 0.09 ( p < 0.001).
DCBT if Acute Leukemia & MDS/MPD: 2-yr DFS Children* (n = 23, median 9 yrs, range 0.9-15): 78% Low incidence of relapse (9% children, 6% adults) translates to relatively high survival rates. Adults** (n = 52, median 41 yrs, range 16-69): 64% Disease-Free Survival Inf. TNC: * 3.3 + 2.6 ** 2.7 + 1.9 Time Post-Transplant (Months) Barker et al, ASH 2011
DCBT if Acute Leukemia & MDS/MPD: 2-yr DFS Children 0-15 yrs (n = 23): 78% (Europeans 86%, Non-Europeans 75%) No difference between European & non-European patients. In multivariate analysis only CMV serostatus was significant. Adults 16-69 yrs (n = 52): 64% (Europeans 62%, Non-Europeans 66% ) Disease-Free Survival Time Post-Transplant (Months) Barker et al, ASH 2011
Why are these results important?
Best Matched URD & Best CB if Combined Search by Patient Ancestry (n = 525) Volunteer unrelated donors: poor HSC source for non-Europeans. Barker et al 2010, BBMT
CB Extends Transplant Access to “Minorities”: URD vs CB vs No Graft by Ancestry (n = 385) Barker et al 2010, BBMT
Updated Data, MSKCC 2012 (n = 597) URD (n=426) CB (n=137) No Graft (n=34) 25% 53% 76% Greater than 50% of CBTs had non-European ancestry
Variables that Determine Outcome Transplant Related Factors CB:Dose, match, quality • Conditioning: • High, Midi , Mini -7 0 +28 +100 +180 +1 year • Immunosuppression: rejection/ GVHD • Supportive care: infection, bleeding, • nutrition • Patient Related Factors • Biology ofMalignancy: determines need for hi dose prep vs reliance on GVL • Patient Characteristics: age, extent of prior Rx, co-morbidities.
TRM by Combined TNC Dose & A,B Antigen, DRB1 Allele-Match 1061 NYBC Single Unit Myeloablative CBT 1993-2006 100 80 Very high TRM if mismatch & low TNC 4/6 & TNC <2.5 5/6 & TNC <2.5 60 4/6 & TNC 2.5-4.9 CI of Transplant-Related Mortality 5/6 & TNC 2.5-4.9 40 4/6 & TNC ≥5.0 5/6 & TNC ≥5.0 20 6/6 & all doses (mean TNC 4.4) Lowest TRM: 6/6 match 0 1 2 3 Lowest TRM: best HLA-match, not highest dose. Years Post-Transplant Barker et al, Blood 2010
Implications for Unit Selection (applies to single unit CBT, may also apply to double) • Biggest cell dose not necessarily the best. • 6/6 units highly attractive (?cell dose threshold). • Sliding scale: more mismatch, greater required • cell dose. Converse also true: match can compensate • for low dose. • Implies: • Above a cell dose threshold best matched unit the best. • New measures needed if best unit is mismatched. Barker, Blood 2010
Additional factors to consider in unit selection - revealed in investigation of double unit biology
Engraftment in 44 Double Unit CBTs Engrafting with a Single Unit. Using CD34+ viability threshold of 75% (mean-2SD), all but one (43/44) engrafting units had CD34+ viability >75% (p=0.0006) OR Only 1/16 poor viability units engrafted. Poor CD34+ viability correlated with lower CFUs (p=0.02). Scaradavou, BBMT 2010
Unit Quality: Schema of CD34+s of 2 CB Units Total CD34+ Cells in 2 Units BAD UNIT GOOD GOOD UNIT 50% viable 90% viable Unit #1 Unit #2 Units similar infused viable CD34+ doses-but very different. In part, double unit CBT effective as increases chance of transplanting at least one good quality unit. Scaradavou, BBMT 2010
Implications • Unit quality varies from unit to unit, & bank to bank. • Not all banks are the same. • Factors that dictate unit quality need to be determined • eg collection standards, processing methodology, red • cell content, cryo volume, age. • Methods to test unit quality prior to thaw should • be priority eg testing the segment.
Do the principles of single unit CBT also apply to double unit CBT?
Sustained Neutrophil Engraftment After Myeloablative DCBT by CD34+ Cell Dose of Engrafting Unit (n = 61) 1.0-2.0 (n=13): 100% @ 20 days >2.0 (n=10): 100% @ 16.5 days <1.0 (n=38): 89% @ 27.5 days P < 0.001 High rate sustained engraftment directly dependent on infused CD34+ of winner; if low can be very slow.

Evaluate search for units 4-6/6 & > 2.0 x 107/kg. Review info & bank for each unit. Obtain missing info, CT units of interest. Prepare CB Search Summary Report. Review CTs, update Search Summary Rank units by A,-B antigen, -DRB1 allele match* Hi to low TNC within each match grade (correct for RBC). 1st 2nd 3rd 6/6 units: Choose largest. 5/6 units: Choose largest. 4/6 units: Choose largest. Make final selection of unit(s) (1a & 1b if double). Prepare domestic back-up unit(s). Plan shipment(s) * Ignore unit-unit match in double unit CBT
Require att. segment for identity testing & complete IDMs. Select on bank, dose, match, other (RBC content).
What about higher resolution match?
COBLT Single CBT: OS in Pediatric Malignancies A, B, DRB1 allele match: < 5/6 allele match associated with higher severe aGVHD. Trend toward improved OS with better match. Kurtzberg, J. et al, Blood 2008
Effect of C: A,B,C Antigen, DRB1 Allele N = 803, median 10 yrs (<1 – 62), leukemia/ MDS • Inferior neut engraftment with hi degree MM (< 5/8). • Worse GVHD if < 5/8 including HLA-A MM. • Relapse lower if any MM vs match (but no advantage to • multiple mismatches. • TRM significantly worse if < 6/8 (trend for 7/8). • 3 year TRM: 8/8 9%; 7/8 (non-C) 19%; 7/8 (C) 26%; • 6/8 (C + other) 31%. • Significance lost in overall mortality except for 6/8 (C + • other). Contributed to by rel. high TNC of group? C is important-but how to trade off against cell dose? What is new lower limit of acceptable match? Eapen, M. et al, Lancet, 2011
Incorporating Vector of HLA-Match: 1202 Single Unit CBT, NYBC CI of Neutrophil Engraftment Significant advantage to both 0 & GVHD vector only mismatches Stevens C E et al. Blood 2011
HLA-Match Vector: 1202 Single Unit CBT CI of 3 Year TRM In heme maligs: GVH only mismatch equal to 0 mismatch. Stevens C E et al. Blood 2011;118:3969
New……… But More Difficult to Implement
NIMA-Match: 1121 Single Unit CBT, NYBC 3 Year TRM in Patients > 10 Years Old If 1 MM, advantage if this is a NIMA match (predom. due to better neutrophil engraftment). van Rood J et al. PNAS 2009
Relapse by Shared IPA: 845 Singles (AML/ALL) 1.0 1-3 HLA MM, No Shared IPA Reference 1-3 HLA MM, Shared IPA 0.4 <0.001 0 HLA MM 0.3 0.012 0.8 0.6 Cox Regression: Multivariate No Shared IPA (n=49) C.I. of Relapse 0.4 0 HLA Mismatch (n=45) 0.2 Shared IPA (n=751) 0.0 0 1 2 3 Years Post-Transplant Patient shares IPA = reduced relapse. ??Indirect evidence that maternal T-cells mediate GVL?
Implications for Unit Selection • CB banks should report maternal HLA type. • Should: • Select for NIMA match – expands no. of “well matched” units. • Avoid “No Shared IPA” grafts in leukemics.
MSKCC Strategy for Unit Selection 1) TNC/ HLA-match: Above 2.0 x 107/kg prioritize match Within match grade choose largest. Consider vector & C. 2) Also consider bank of origin (speed, reliability, quality). 3) For malignancy use 2:Increase chance of transplanting at least one unit of good quality PLUS unit vs unit effects may augment engraftment & reduce relapse. 4) For doubles same rules apply to selecting units 1 & 2. Ignore unit-unit HLA-match. 5) Consider hi res match if possible-esp in children. 6) Unresolved issues: selecting based on CD34+ dose, red cell content, testing of segment, high res match vs dose, incorporation of NIMA & IPA.
