Refractory Anaemia

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a rare but life-threatening complication after solid organ and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A 40-year-old woman who was diagnosed as having refractory anaemia with ring sideroblast 6 years ago took an ABO mismatched, unrelated allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a 32-year-old healthy male donor. The bone marrow (BM) study was carried out because of progressing pancytopenia, serum biclonal gammopathy and a distorted ratio of serum level of free κ and λ light chain 138 days after HSCT. The BM examination showed an increased number of plasma cells (12% of total marrow cells) comprising mainly CD45−CD19−CD138+ malignant plasma cells with an immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene rearrangement. Conventional cytogenetics and molecular personal identification studies revealed that all BM cells were totally replaced by donor cells, thus indicating the donor cell origin of PTLD-multiple myeloma. The BM microenvironment of the recipient might be associated with the development of PTLD-multiple myeloma.

Introduction. Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) is a highly effective treatment for multiple myeloma (MM). Auto-HSCT allows a signifi cant improvement of haematological response leading to higher overall survival and quality of life in MM patients. Nonetheless, the majority of patients develop relapse.Aim — a comparison of clinical MM relapses developing at variant terms after auto-HSCT.Patients and methods. A retrospective study enrolled 65 MM patients aged between 39 and 64 years. All patients had auto-HSCT during 2009–2019, all had achieved complete response (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR) and all since developed immunochemical MM relapse in laboratory evidence. Patients were divided in two cohorts by relapse term, the early (within 12 months of auto-HSCT) and late relapse.Results. Early immunochemical relapse was diagnosed in 13 (20 %), late relapse — in 52 (80 %) patients. The dependence between relapse term and depth of post-auto-HSCT antitumour response has been determined. The proportion of CR patients was signifi cantly higher in late than in early relapse (55.8 vs. 23 %). In follow-up, 60 patients (92.3 %) were initiated on antirelapse therapy, all early relapse and 90.3 % late relapse patients. On day +100 of auto-HSCT, CR patients had later relapse vs. VGPR individuals (median 24 vs. 19.9 months, p = 0.08) with signifi cantly weaker paraprotein secretion resembling the clinical course of monoclonal gammopathy of unclear signifi cance (MGUS).Conclusion. Auto-HSCT allows long-term control of the disease. A signifi cant prognostic factor is antitumour response on +100 day of auto-HSCT. Patients attaining CR have later relapse progressing in a MGUS-like manner. Patients with late indolent relapse can be managed long-term without antitumour therapy.

The Glasgow Prognostic Score

Background: Immunity and inflammatory response affect the tumour microenvironment and the progression of malignancies. Metabolic and inflammatory parameters and ratios of the peripheral blood correlate with outcome in cancer patients. There exist several established and validated inflammation-based scores of prognostic significances including the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS). Methods: In this retrospective, multicentre study, we investigated the prognostic capabilities of baseline GPS in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation as a complementary resource for risk stratification. For GPS calculation, a C-reactive-protein (CRP) value of >10 mg/dL counts as one point and an albumin value of <35 g/L connotes another point, resulting in three different subgroups (group I: 0 points; group II: 1 point; and group III: 2 points). Patients with MM admitted to the participating institutions between January 2010 and July 2018 were screened, and established prognostic scores and ratios were assessed. Characteristics significantly associated with overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS), upon univariate analysis, were included in a Cox proportional hazards model. Results: Following initial assessment, we identified 224 fully evaluable patients who underwent autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma. A centralised review of pathology and cytogenetic reports was conducted, and a central hematopathology assessment was performed in 175 of 224 cases (78.1%). Proceeding to high-dose chemotherapy and subsequent autologous stem cell transplantation was the main inclusion criterion for all transplant-eligible patients in the study. The median age at diagnosis was 59 years (range: 35–76 years) with a median follow-up of 76 months. Multivariate analysis revealed neutrophil–platelet score (NPS) (HR = 0.528, 95% CI = 0.284–0.984) and B symptoms at primary diagnosis (HR = 1.838, 95% CI = 1.232–2.740) to be independent predictors of PFS while high-risk cytogenetic changes (HR = 2.358, 95% CI = 1.413–3.934, p = 0.001) could be identified as an independent predictor of OS, and GPS to be the only independent predictor of both OS and PFS (OS: HR = 2.127, 95% CI = 1.431–3.162, p < 0.0001 and PFS: HR = 1.405; 95% CI = 1.058–1.867, p = 0.019). Conclusions: Our data show that baseline GPS correlates with rates of relapse and refractory disease in MM patients undergoing autologous transplantation. In a multivariate analysis, these effects were proven to hold prognostic capabilities beyond and independent from established prognosticators. These results require further validation in a prospective setting.
