ATG Individualized Dosing Model in URD-PBSCT.

Официальное название

Application of Thymoglobulin (ATG) Individualized Dosing Model in Unrelated Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Обзор

Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) is widely used in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to prevent severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and graft failure. However, overexposure to ATG may increase cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, non-relapse mortality, and disease recurrence. A targeted dosing strategy was established based on ATG concentration monitoring and conducted a phase 2 trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the dosing strategy in adult unmanipulated haplo-PBSCT, a encouraging result was attained. In this trial, The ATG-targeted dosing strategy was extended to adult unrelated donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, ATG was administered for 4 days (-5 days to -2 days) during conditioning. The ATG doses on-3 days and- 2days were adjusted by our dosing strategy to achieve the optimal ATG exposure. The primary endpoint was CMV reactivation on +180 days.

Подробное описание

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation(allo-HCT) is a curative therapy for hematological disorders and the ATG is commonly used as prophylaxis for GVHD. Previous studies have indicated that there is an optimal dosage for ATG administration, if the dosage is too high, it may affect engraftment and increase the risk of infection and relapse, whereas an inadequate dosage may increase the risk of acute or chronic GVHD, there is still controversy about the optimal dose of ATG, its pharmacologic effects on clinical outcomes of HSCT are associated with donor source, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) disparity, conditioning intensity, and GVHD prophylaxis, so although has been investigated for decades, the optimal dosage of ATG in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains undetermined.

ATG exerts pharmacologic effects in its active form upon binding to lymphocytes, and its exposure is presented as the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). To obtain plasma active ATG concentrations, investigators developed an active ATG concentration detection method based on flow-cytometry with HUT-78 T-cells. In previous study, investigators quantified active ATG exposure in 106 haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT) recipients, who received a conventional fixed dose of 10 mg/kg ATG during conditioning, the optimal concentration range of active ATG-AUC was determined through the application of machine learning methods, was found to be 100-148.5 × 10\^3 UE·d/L. This concentration range was associated with a reduction in CMV/EBV reactivation, without an increase in acute GVHD or malignant disease relapse. Mathematical function was then exploited to determine the total targeted ATG dose on -3days to -2days based on concentrations of active ATG on -5daysto -4days. Based on this function, a dosing strategy was established that aimed to maintain the active ATG-AUC within the optimal range. To validate this individualized dosing strategy, investigators conducted a single-arm, phase 2 trial, demonstrating that this strategy could reduce CMV/EBV reactivation and improve survival without increasing the incidence of GVHD after haplo-PBSCT. Given the similarity between unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (URD-HSCT) and haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) in terms of conditioning regimens, GVHD prophylaxis, and supportive therapies, as well as the conventional fixed dose of 10mg/kg employed in both settings, investigators have designed and conducted a single-center, prospective, single-arm clinical trial. The aim of this trial is to translate the individualized ATG dosing strategy, which was originally developed based on ATG concentration monitoring in haplo-HSCT patients, to URD-HSCT, with the goal of further validating its effectiveness.
