Résumé
In single unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT), an increasing number of HLA allele mismatches (MM) has been associated with inferior overall survival (OS) attributed to higher transplant-related mortali-ty (TRM). Previous studies on the role of allele-level HLA matching following double UCBT (dUCBT) showed conflicting results. Herein we report the impact of allele-level HLA matching on outcomes of a large dUCBT cohort . We included 963 adults with hematologic malignancies, with available allele-level HLA matching at HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1, receiving dUCBT between 2006-2019. Assignment of donor-recipient HLA match was performed considering the unit with the highest disparity with the recipient. 392 patients received dUCBT with 0-3 and 571 with ≥4 allele MM. Day-100 and 4-year TRM were 10% and 23%, for recipients of dUCBT with 0-3 MM compared to 16% and 36% for those with ≥4 MM (HR 1.58, p=.002; and HR 1.54, p=.002), respectively. Higher degree of allele MM was also associated with worse neutrophil recovery and lower incidence of relapse; no significant effect on graft-versus-host disease was observed. Patients receiving units with 0-3 MM had a 4-year OS of 54% versus 43% for those with ≥4 MM (HR 1.40, p=.005). The inferior OS associated with higher HLA disparity was only partially mitigated by increased total nucleated cell doses. Our results confirm that allele-level HLA typing is a significant factor for OS following dUCBT and units with ≥4 MM (≤4/8 HLA-matched) should be avoided if possible.
