- Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of occurrence of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) and its severity on transplantation outcomes in a consecutive cohort of AML and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients who received unmanipulated haploidentical hematopoietic SCT (haplo-HSCT; n=324). The cumulative incidence of relapse was significantly decreased in patients with cGVHD compared with the non-cGVHD group (1 year: 3.2% vs 11.9%, P=0.002; 3 years: 6.0% vs 16.3%, P=0.002), particularly in those with mild cGVHD. The cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality was comparable between patients with and without cGVHD. The probabilities of disease-free survival (DFS) were significantly better in patients with cGVHD than in those in the non-cGVHD group (1 year: 90.5% vs 78.5%, P=0.002; 3 years: 86.5% vs 71.5%, P<0.001), particularly in those with mild or moderate cGVHD; however, no significant impact of severe cGVHD on DFS was seen. Our findings highlight the close relationship between cGVHD and the immune-mediated GVL effect in patients with AML and MDS receiving unmanipulated haplo-HSCT; however, only mild or moderate cGVHD was associated with a lower risk of relapse translating into improved DFS.
