Allogeneic transplantation of bone marrow versus peripheral blood stem cells from HLA-identical sibling donors for hematological malignancies in 6064 adults from 2003 to 2020: different impacts on survival according to time period.
Mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) have been widely used instead of bone marrow (BM) as the graft source for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Although early studies demonstrated no significant differences in survival between PBSC transplantation (PBSCT) and BM transplantation (BMT) from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donors to adults with hematological malignancies, recent results have been unclear.
The objective of this retrospective study was to compare overall survival (OS), relapse, non-relapse mortality (NRM), hematopoietic recovery and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) between PBSCT and BMT according to the time period of HCT (2003-2008, 2009-2014, or 2015-2020).
We retrospectively compared the outcomes after PBSCT versus BMT in 6064 adults with hematological malignancies using a Japanese registry database between 2003 and 2020.
The adjusted probability of OS was significantly higher in BMT recipients compared to PBSCT recipients during the early period of 2003-2008 (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70-0.91; P < 0.001) and the middle period of 2009-2014 (adjusted HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.70-0.91; P < 0.001). However, during the late period of 2015-2020, the adjusted probability of OS was comparable between BMT and PBSCT recipients (adjusted HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.79-1.13; P = 0.564), which were mainly due to the reduction of NRM. There was no significant difference in the relapse rate between the groups, irrespective of the time period. Compared to BMT, PBSCT led to faster neutrophil and platelet recovery and the cumulative incidences of grades II-IV and grades III-IV acute and overall and extensive chronic GVHD were significantly higher in PBSCT recipients, irrespective of the time period.
PBSCT and BMT had similar survival outcomes and relapse rates in adult patients with hematological malignancies during the late time period of 2015-2020 despite the hematopoietic recovery and acute and chronic GVHD being higher in PBSCT recipients in all time periods.

Comparable outcomes of allogeneic peripheral blood versus bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a sibling donor for pediatric patients.
Traditionally, bone marrow (BM) has been preferred as a source of stem cells (SCs) in pediatric hematopoietic SC transplantation (HSCT); however, the use of peripheral blood SCs (PBSC) has recently increased. With advancing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, whether the BM is still a better SC source than PB in sibling donor HSCT remains controversial. Here, we compared the results of BM transplantation (BMT) and PBSC transplantation (PBSCT) in pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant diseases receiving sibling HSCT using a total of 7.5 mg/kg of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). We retrospectively reviewed children who received HSCT from a sibling donor between 2005 and 2020 at Seoul National University Children's Hospital. Of the 86 patients, 40 underwent BMT, and 46 underwent PBSCT. Fifty- six patients had malignant diseases, whereas thirty patients had non-malignant diseases. All conditioning regimens comprised ATG. Busulfan-based myeloablative conditioning regimens were administered to patients with malignant diseases and approximately half of those with non-malignant diseases. The remaining half of the patients with non-malignant diseases were administered cyclophosphamide-based reduced- intensity conditioning regimens. According to studies conducted at our center, all BM donors received G-CSF before harvest to achieve early engraftment. In all 86 patients (47 males and 39 females), the median age at the time of HSCT was 11.4 (range, 0.7 - 24.6) years. The median follow-up period was 57.9 (range, 0.9-228.6) months, and the corresponding values for those with BM and PBSC were 77 (range, 2.4-228.6) months and 48.7 (range, 0.9-213.2) months, respectively. Engraftment failure occurred in one patient with BM and no patient with PBSC. The cumulative incidence of acute GVHD with grades II-IV was higher in PBSC (BM 2.5%, PBSC 26.1%, p = 0.002), but there was no significant difference in those with grades III-IV acute GVHD (BM 0%, PBSC 6.5%, p = 0.3703) and extensive chronic GVHD (BM 2.5%, PBSC 11.6%, p = 0.1004). There were no significant differences in treatment-related mortality (TRM) (BM 14.2%, PBSC 6.8%, p = 0.453), 5-year event-free survival (EFS) (BM 71.5%, PBSC 76.2%, p = 0.874), and overall survival (OS) rates (BM 80.8%, PBSC 80.3%, p = 0.867) between BM and PBSC in the univariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis, which included all factors with p < 0.50 in the univariate analysis, there was no significant prognostic factor for EFS or OS. There was no significant difference in the relapse incidence between BM and PBSC among patients with malignant diseases (BM 14.2%, PBSC 6.8%, p = 0.453). Additionally, there were no significant differences in the TRM, 5-year EFS, and OS rates between malignant and non-malignant diseases nor between the busulfan-based myeloablative regimen and reduced-intensity chemotherapy using cyclophosphamide. In this study, we showed no significant differences in EFS, OS, TRM, and GVHD, except for acute GVHD grades II-IV, between BMT and PBSCT from sibling donors, using ATG (a total of 7.5 mg/kg). Therefore, PB collection, which is less invasive for donors and less labor-intensive for doctors, could also be considered an acceptable SC source for sibling donor HSCT in children.

PBSCT is associated with poorer survival and increased chronic GvHD than BMT in Japanese paediatric patients with acute leukaemia and an HLA-matched sibling donor.
Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) may be used as an alternative to bone marrow (BM) for allogeneic transplantation. Since peripheral blood stem cell bank from unrelated volunteer donor has been started in Japan, use of PBSC allografts may be increased. Therefore we surveyed the outcomes of Japanese leukemia children after PBSC and BM transplantation.
This retrospective study compared the outcomes of 661 children (0-18 years) with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) who received their first allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT; n = 90) or bone marrow transplantation (BMT; n = 571) from HLA-matched siblings between January 1996 and December 2007.
Neutrophil recovery was faster after PBSCT than after BMT (ALL: P < 0.0001; AML: P = 0.0002), as was platelet recovery (ALL: P = 0.0008; AML: P = 0.0848). However, the cumulative incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) was higher after PBSCT than after BMT (ALL: 26.0% vs. 9.9%, P = 0.0066; AML: 41.6% vs. 11.1%, P < 0.0001). The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was lower after PBSCT than after BMT for ALL (40.6% vs. 57.1%, P = 0.0257). The 5-year overall survival (OS) was lower after PBSCT than after BMT for ALL (42.4% vs. 63.7%, P = 0.0032) and AML (49.8% vs. 71.8%, P = 0.0163). Multivariate analysis revealed the use of PBSC was a significant risk factor for DFS and OS. PBSCT and BMT did not differ in relapse rate, acute GvHD for ALL and AML, or in DFS for AML.
PBSC allografts in Japanese children engraft faster but are associated with poorer survival and increased chronic GvHD.
