Poor Graft Function

e19021 Background: Poor graft function (PGF) is a life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) characterized by severe multilineage cytopenia in the absence of mixed donor chimerism, relapse, or severe graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). We present a systemic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the outcomes with stem cell boost (SCB) for PGF in adult allo-HCT patients. Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, 752 articles were screened from 4 databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Clinical trials.gov) using MeSH terms and keywords for “hematological malignancies”, “hematopoietic stem cell transplantation”, “CD34 antigen(s)” and “treatment outcome(s)” from the date of inception to Jan 2021. After excluding review, duplicate and non-relevant articles, we included 8 studies (1 prospective, 7 retrospective) reporting hematologic complete/overall response rate (CR/ORR), GVHD and overall survival (OS) after SCB for PGF after Allo-HSCT. Quality evaluation was done using the NIH quality assessment tool. Pooled analysis was done using the ‘meta’ package (Schwarzer et al, R programming language) and proportions with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed. Inter-study variance was calculated using Der Simonian-Laird Estimator. Results: We identified 217 patients who received SCB for PGF after allo-HCT. Median age, time since transplant and SCB dose were 48 (37-54) years, 133 (113-450) days and 3.43 (1.7-4.9) million CD34 cells/kg respectively. CR and ORR were 71% (95%CI 0.63-0.77, I216%) and 80% (95%CI 0.74-0.85, I20%) respectively. After median follow up of 41.5 (5-77) months, actuarial survival rate (ASR) was 54% (95%CI 0.48-0.61, I20%). OS was reported from 80% (1y) to 40% (9y) Acute and chronic GVHD incidence after SCB was 17% (95% CI 0.12-0.23, I2=0%) and 17% (95% CI 0.08-0.32, I2=72%, n=197) respectively, and 25% (95% CI 0.14-0.39, I2=63%, n=163) deaths were due to relapse (Table). Conclusions: CD34 SCB improves outcomes after PGF after allo-HSCT with acceptable toxicity profile. However, current literature lacks high-quality randomized evidence and there remains an unmet need for prospective studies to address optimal dosing and manipulation of SCB. Outcomes with SCB for PGF after allo-HCT (n=217).[Table: see text]
