    Abstract Myeloablative T cell depleted (CD34-selected) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with less acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD). We aimed to examine vaccine responses in relation to immune reconstitution and post HCT rituximab administration in this population. This single center retrospective study included 251 patients with hematological malignancies who received a first CD34-selected HCT between 2012 and 2015. Of 251 patients, 190 were alive 1 year after HCT. Among the entire population, 77 (30.7%) patients were vaccinated. After vaccine administration, 35/44 (80%), 30/75 (40%), 27/36 (75%), 33/65 (51%), 34/51 (51%), 22/28 (79%) and 20/34 (59%) of evaluable patients had protective antibody titers for haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib), Pneumococcus, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis, hepatitis A (HAV), and hepatitis B (HBV) respectively. Responders to the pneumococcal vaccine had a higher CD45RA T cell count than non responders, with 12/18 patients (66.7%) vs 11/32 (34.4%) p = 0.04. For pneumococcal vaccine, there was also a trend to higher total lymphocyte B cell count in responders vs non responders p = 0.06. Rituximab post HCT was given to 59/251 (23.5%) patients. No difference was found in immune reconstitution patterns for rituximab use between vaccine responders and not. Recipients of CD34-selected HCT may respond to vaccination, and T and B cell subsets could be useful to predict vaccine response.

    Abstract Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a potentially curative treatment for patients with acute leukemia. Despite this, studies have shown that only a minority of patients ultimately proceed to allo-HCT. The primary objective of this prospective, observational study was to identify the rate of allo-HCT in patients for whom it was recommended, and reasons why patients deemed appropriate and eligible for HCT did not subsequently undergo transplant. Between April 2016 and April 2021, adult patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory acute leukemia were enrolled at the time of induction/reinduction therapy. Initial transplantation workup and allo-HCT recommendations were made during the early phase of induction/reinduction. Of the 307 enrolled patients, allo-HCT was recommended to 85% (n = 259), of whom 66% (n = 170) underwent transplant. Donor sources comprised 54% human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched unrelated donors, 20% HLA-matched sibling donors and HLA-mismatched graft sources with 15% umbilical cord blood units, 8% HLA-mismatched unrelated donors, and 4% HLA-haploidentical donors. The most common reason for transplant disqualification in the 89 patients in whom it was initially recommended was persistent/relapsed disease (70%), followed by early patient death (10%). In this prospective study, we report a high allo-HCT rate, which may be due to early transplant referral and workup. The main allo-HCT barrier was disease control, followed by early patient death. With the increasing availability of HLA-mismatched graft sources, the lack of donor availability was not a transplant barrier. Further development of novel transplant strategies for patients not achieving remission and improvements in induction regimens could result in increased allo-HCT utilization.

    Abstract Dysgeusia is a frequently occurring symptom after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) that has important long-term effects on physical, nutritional, and immunologic recovery, as well as on quality of life. Despite the relevance of this symptom, the study of dysgeusia in patients undergoing HCT has been limited, owing in part to its complexity. In this article, we review normal taste function and its clinical evaluation, discuss how dysgeusia uniquely affects patients undergoing HCT, and examine distinct, transplantation-related contributors to dysgeusia that may help elucidate strategies to ultimately reduce this symptom burden after transplantation.

    Abstract Background: Dysgeusia is a common but understudied complication in patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT). We assessed the feasibility of using chemical gustometry (CG) to measure dysgeusia and explored its associations with symptom burden, nutrition, chemotherapy pharmacokinetics (PK), and the oral microbiome.
    Methods: We conducted a single-center, prospective feasibility study (NCT03276481) of patients with multiple myeloma undergoing auto-HCT. CG was performed longitudinally testing five flavors (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami) to calculate a total taste score (maximum score, 30). We measured caloric intake and patient-reported symptoms, assessing their correlation with oral microbiota composition and salivary and blood melphalan PK exposure.
    Results: Among all 45 patients, 39 (87%) completed at least four (>60%) and 22 (49%) completed all six CG assessments. Median total CG scores remained stable over time but were lowest at day +7 (27, range 24-30) with recovery by day +100. Symptom burden was highest by day +10 (area under the curve, 2.9; range, 1.0-4.6) corresponding with the lowest median overall caloric intake (1624 kcal; range, 1345-2267). Higher serum/salivary melphalan levels correlated with higher patient-reported dysgeusia and lower caloric intake. Oral microbiota α-diversity was stable early and increased slightly by day +100.
    Conclusions: Assessment of dysgeusia by CG is feasible after auto-HCT. Most dysgeusia, symptom burden, and lowest caloric intake occurred during the blood count nadir. Higher melphalan concentrations correlated with more dysgeusia and poorer caloric intake. Future studies will aim to modulate melphalan exposure by PK-targeted dosing and characterize patient taste preferences to personalize diets for improved nutritional intake.
    Lay summary: Taste changes after cancer treatments are very common. We used chemical gustometry (taste testing) to study taste changes and to better understand why patients with multiple myeloma experience this symptom after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation. We found that taste testing was feasible, taste changes peaked when blood counts were lowest, and most patients recovered their taste by 100 days after transplantation. Taste changes correlated with lower food intake and with higher levels of chemotherapy in the body. Future work will focus on using personalized chemotherapy doses to reduce taste changes and to match patients' individual taste preferences with their diets.
