Possible prognostic impact of WT1 mRNA expression at day + 30 after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide for patients with myeloid neoplasm: a multicenter study from the Okayama Hematological Study Group
Abstract
Background: Previous studies have revealed that relapse of myeloid neoplasms after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) could be predicted by monitoring Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) mRNA expression. However, only a few studies have investigated patients who received human leukocyte antigen-haploidentical stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY-haplo). In this study, we investigated the relationship between WT1 mRNA levels and clinical outcomes in the PTCY-haplo group, and compared them with those in the conventional graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis group (conventional group).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 130 patients who received their first allo-HSCT between April 2017 and December 2020, including 26 who received PTCY-haplo.
Results: The WT1 mRNA expression level at day + 30 after allo-HSCT associated with increased risk of 1-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was ≥ 78 copies/μg RNA in the conventional group (p < 0.01) and ≥ 50 copies/μg RNA in the PTCY-haplo group (p = 0.03).
Conclusions: The appropriate cutoff level of WT1 mRNA at day + 30 after allo-HSCT for predicting prognosis in patients treated with PTCY-haplo may be < 50 copies/μg RNA.
