Thiotepa-Busulfan-Fludarabine Compared to Treosulfan-Based Conditioning for Haploidentical Transplant With Posttransplant Cyclophosphamide in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Remission: a Study From the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the EBMT
tween 2010 and 2020. A total of 1123 patients met the inclusion criteria (968 received TBF and 155 received Treo). A 1:1 matched-pair analysis was performed on 142 TBF and...
Relapse incidence at 2 years was not statistically different in the 2 groups (16% and 18% in TBF and Treo, respectively; P = 0.9). Leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival was 65% versus 68% (P = 0.6), 73% versus 76% (P = 0.5), and 54% versus 53% (P = 0.8) in TBF versus Treo,...
Novel T cell/organoid culture system allows ex vivo modeling of intestinal graft-versus-host disease

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) remains the biggest clinical challenge and prognosis-determining complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Donor T cells are acceptedly key mediators of alloreactivity against host...
Conclusions/Relevance: In the light of the emerging concept of dysregulated immune-epithelial homeostasis as a core aspect of intestinal GvHD, this approach represents a novel experimental system to e.g. screen therapeutic strategies for their potential to normalize T cell/IEC- interaction. Hence, analyses in pre-clinical in vivo allo-HSCT...
W"H-Y" antigen/HLA complexes in chronic GVHD
In this issue of Blood, Umino and colleagues1 reveal the intricate immune interactions that contribute to chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after alloge
Conclusions/Relevance: This elegant work expands the mechanistic understanding of alloimmunity and the enigma of cGVHD pathogenesis, while introducing an opportunity for both alloantibody-based risk stratification and therapeutic targeting for a patient-tailored approach.
Transfusion-associated Graft versus Host Disease: A Certain but Avoidable Cause of Death
Department of Hematology, Armed Forces Institute of Transfusion, Rawalpindi, Pakistan Department of Microbiology, Armed Forces Institute of Transfusion, Rawalpindi, Pakistan ABSTRACT Transfusion-associated graft versus host disease (TA-GvHD) is a rare...
Relevance: Here, we present one such case in which the maternal blood transfused to an infant cost him his life within 12 days of transfusion.

Chronic GvHD in a prognostic model: Graft versus leukemia predictor or immortal time bias?
Relevance: Zhou et al. recently published a prognostic model for patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in this journal. This score consisted of five items: Age, Blasts, Leukocytes, Anemia, and chronic Graft vs Host Disease (ABLAG). The strongest predictor in...
