Posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is a promising graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in haploidentical and matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but its role in matched sibling donor (MSD) transplants remains unclear. We conducted a retrospective study of 413 MSD-HSCT patients receiving peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts from January 2010 to January 2023. Patients were categorized into 4 groups: group I (calcineurin inhibitor [CNI] + methotrexate [MTX] or mycophenolate mofetil [MMF]), group II (CNI + MTX or MMF + antithymocyte globulin [ATG]), group III (PTCy + ATG + CNI), and group IV (PTCy + CNI + MMF). PTCy was associated with a significant reduction in grade 2- 4 and grade 3-4 acute GVHD and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD compared with CNI + MTX (or MMF)–containing regimens. PTCy did not increase relapse risk; PTCy reduced nonrelapse mortality, leading to improved GVHD-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS; Hazard Ratio, 0.4; P < .001). PTCy was also associated with improved overall survival. Bloodstream infections were increased with PTCy. The addition of ATG to PTCy did not further improve GRFS and was associated with a higher incidence of clinically significant cytomegalovirus (csCMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (csEBV) reactivation and a numerical increase in NRM. PTCy significantly appeared to improve GRFS in the MSD setting using PBSC grafts. The addition of ATG to PTCy increases csCMV and csEBV reactivation without further improving GRFS. Prospective trials and PTCy dose optimization are warranted.

TP53 mutations are associated with extremely poor outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The outcomes of patients with TP53-mutated (TP53^MUT) AML after different frontline treatment modalities are not well established. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a potentially curative procedure for AML; however, long-term outcomes among patients with TP53^MUT AML after allo-HCT are dismal, and the benefit of allo-HCT remains controversial. We sought to evaluate the outcomes of patients with TP53^MUT AML after treatment with different frontline induction therapies and allo-HCT. A total of 113 patients with TP53^MUT AML were retrospectively evaluated. Patients with TP53^MUT AML who received intensive or azacitidine-venetoclax induction had higher complete remission rates compared to patients treated with other hypomethylating-agent-based induction regimens. However, OS and EFS were not significantly different among the induction regimen groups. Allo-HCT was associated with improved OS and EFS among patients with TP53^MUT AML; however, allo-HCT was not significantly associated with improved OS or EFS in time-dependent or landmark analysis. While the outcomes of all patients were generally poor irrespective of therapeutic strategy, transplanted patients with lower TP53^MUT variant allele frequency (VAF) at the time of diagnosis had superior outcomes compared to transplanted patients with higher TP53 VAF. Our study provides further evidence that the current standards of care for AML confer limited therapeutic benefit to patients with TP53 mutations.
