    Abstract Outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for patients with advanced acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) remain uncertain. All published series include the important and often not stated selection bias that influences outcome. Performance status, patient age, prompt donor availability, risk phenotype of the leukemia, and tumor burden all influence the decision-making process about HCT with active disease. In addition, patients with MDS do not achieve a true pre-HCT complete remission, and thus much less stringent measures are used to indicate suitability for allografting in that disease. Post-HCT maintenance or investigational approaches for tumor depletion may improve the outcomes.

    Abstract Allogeneic transplantation remains the most definitive curative option for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, given the median age of diagnosis of AML in the late 60s, patients and clinicians have been reluctant to offer transplant to many in the older population. In this age group, AML presents with higher risk molecular and cytogenetic phenotype and patients' comorbidities, performance status, frailty and life views all impact the decision-making about whether to proceed with transplantation. Recent analyses suggest promising outcomes and thus acknowledgement of chronological age should be tempered with assessments of performance status, frailty, donor availability and careful balancing of a patient's wishes, life goals and understanding of the risks before restricting access of older patients to the curative potential of allotransplantation.

    Abstract Allotransplantation in the absence of an HLA-matched sibling donor can offer numerous donor options including unrelated donor and umbilical cord blood grafting. Recently, haploidentical transplantation has exploded in popularity and worldwide use following the application of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for GVHD prophylaxis. Various approaches, disease states, conditioning intensities and supportive care advances have improved all these choices without demonstrable superiority of one approach versus the others. However, PTCy limits risks of GVHD; bone marrow over peripheral blood stem cells limits risks of chronic GVHD, which suggests that both these promising techniques can inform these donor and graft choices. Formal and prospective data will answer whether situationally adapted best options-tailored to each patient's disease risk and comorbidity status-will help guide future decision-making to improve patient outcomes with the least cumulative morbidity.

    Abstract Options for GVHD prophylaxis after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation can best be chosen by understanding the pathophysiology of GVHD. Interventions to limit T cell activation, expansion and subsequent tissue injury can each be utilized in designing successful GVHD prevention strategies Depleting, tolerizing or blunting T cells or host antigen presenting cells (APCs), blocking co-stimulation or more broadly suppressing inflammation have all been used. Interventions which spare regulatory T cells (Tregs) may prevent GVHD and facilitate controlled allo-responses and not compromise subsequent relapse risks. Graft manipulations and pharmacologic interventions each have potential to limit the morbidity of GVHD while permitting the immunocompetence to prevent infection or relapse.

    Abstract Management of relapsed leukemia following allogeneic transplantation is challenging. Intensive chemotherapy, donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI), or second transplantation have some value, but most reported series describe only a limited number of patients surviving beyond 2 or 3 years following relapse. Additionally, understandable selection-bias of reports describing the outcomes of intensive management approaches for relapsed leukemia confound generalizability to a broader population. However numerous reports suggest that second allogeneic transplantation for relapsed leukemia following an initial transplant may produce extended disease control and survival for patients with favorable performance status, remission at the time of second transplant, and most importantly a long interval between initial transplant and relapse. Reduced intensity conditioning for second allografts may be preferable and little data exists to suggest that a new donor will improve disease control by inducing a stronger graft-versus-leukemia effect. Improved measures to prevent the first relapse, however, may protect more patients and produce a greater fraction enjoying extended leukemia-free survival.

    Abstract Allotransplantation cures patients by cytoreduction and the graft-versus-tumor (leukemia; graft-versus-leukemia [GVL]) alloresponse; both eliminate residual disease. The spectrum of conditioning intensity influences toxicities and non-relapse mortality. The spectrum of tumor sensitivity to the GVL response influences relapse. Balancing tolerable toxicities (influenced by patients' performance status and comorbidities) is also influenced by the graft. Intense immunosuppression (for engraftment and graft-versus-host disease prevention) may constrain the immunologic potency of the graft and limit the antineoplastic capacity of the transplant, thus requiring more intense or more effective conditioning regimens to limit the risks of relapse and permit satisfactory disease-free survival.

    Abstract Despite advances in antimicrobial treatments, infection remains a common complication of intensive chemotherapy in patients with acute leukemia. It has become progressively apparent that the current antimicrobial focus has shortcomings that result from disruption of the commensal microbial communities of the gut. These effects, collectively known as dysbiosis, have been increasingly associated worldwide with growing complications such as Clostridioides difficile infection, systemic infections, and antibiotic resistance. A revision of the current practice is overdue. Several innovative concepts have been proposed and tested in animal models and humans, with the overarching goal of preventing damage to the microbiota and facilitating its recovery. In this review, we discuss these approaches, examine critical knowledge gaps, and explore how they may be filled in future research.

    Abstract Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) generally require allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for a cure, except for patients with favorable genetic genotypes such as those with core-binding factor AML. However, the use of intensive chemotherapy followed by prompt HCT does not fully prevent relapse or refractory disease. Despite improvements in transplant techniques and management of complications, further improvement of HCT outcomes is urgently needed. Moreover, careful patient counseling, donor selection, and choice of transplant type are essential to maximize the benefits of early allografting. Maintenance after HCT focusing on selective immunomodulation combined with targeted immunotherapies that control persisting or relapsed hematologic malignancies is currently under active investigation. To improve the balance between GVHD, relapse, and infection, the use of purified blood stem cell grafts in conjunction with

    Abstract In this article, we used administrative claims data from the OptumLabs Data Warehouse and American Hospital Association Annual Survey data to examine associations between hospital characteristics and uptake of biosimilar granulocyte colony-stimulating factor treatments. We found that 340B-participating hospitals and non-rural referral center (RRC) hospitals that reported owning rural health clinics were less likely to administer the lower-cost biosimilars, whereas the opposite was true for hospitals that are RRCs. To our knowledge, our study offers a first look at an underappreciated source of disparities in access to lower-cost medications such as biosimilars. Results from our study reveal opportunities for targeted policies to encourage adoption of lower-cost treatments, particularly among hospitals that serve rural communities where patients often have fewer choices in care site.
