Аннотация

Инфузия донорских лимфоцитов (ИДЛ) с профилактической целью способствует усилению иммуноадоптивного противоопухолевого эффекта, за счет чего наблюдается снижение рисков возникновения рецидива после аллогенной трансплантации гемопоэтических стволовых клеток (ТГСК) у пациентов с острыми лейкозами. Одним из основных лимитирующих факторов при использовании ИДЛ является риск развития реакции «трансплантат против хозяина» (РТПХ). По данным исследований, частота возникновения данного осложнения после применения ИДЛ находится диапазоне от 15 до 45% для острой РТПХ (оРТПХ) и от 10 до 50% для хронической формы (хрРТПХ). Развитие РТПХ после ИДЛ также приводит к усилению противоопухолевого эффекта и позволяет снизить риски возникновения рецидива. В то же время повышенный риск рецидива ассоциирован с потерей HLA-гетерозиготности после гаплоидентичной ТГСК, роль РТПХ в становлении этого состояния не изучена. В данном одноцентровом ретроспективном исследовании был выполнен сравнительный анализ рисков возникновения костномозговых и экстрамедуллярных рецидивов у пациентов детского возраста с острым лимфобластным и острым миелоидным лейкозами, которым проводилась ИДЛ с профилактической целью после аллогенной ТГСК, выполнена оценка тяжести течения ИДЛ-индуцированной оРТПХ, частоты развития и тяжести хрРТПХ, а также исследован вопрос связи оРТПХ с потерей HLA-гетерозиготности. Было сформировано 2 группы пациентов: в основную группу вошли пациенты, получившие профилактические ИДЛ (n = 41), в группу сравнения – пациенты, не получившие их (n = 46). Получено согласие пациентов/ законных представителей на включение в исследование. Протокол (№249 от 31.05.2021) зарегистрирован в этическом комитете ФГБОУ ВО ПСПбГМУ им. И.П. Павлова Минздрава России. Все пациенты были разделены на 4 подгруппы в зависимости от применения ИДЛ и развития оРТПХ: +ИДЛ – с ИДЛ без оРТПХ (n = 34); +ИДЛр – с ИДЛ-индуцированной оРТПХ (n = 7); –ИДЛ – без ИДЛ и оРТПХ (n = 34); –ИДЛр – без ИДЛ и с оРТПХ в анамнезе (n = 12). Всего зафиксировано 7 (17%) случаев ИДЛ-индуцированной оРТПХ. Не было обнаружено статистически значимых различий при поражении желудочно-кишечного тракта (р = 1) и печени (р = 0,75) в 2 группах, в группе без ИДЛ оказалось больше пациентов с III–IV степенью поражения кожных покровов (р = 0,06). Не было зафиксировано ни одного летального исхода, связанного с течением ИДЛ-индуцированной РТПХ. Медиана числа использованных линий терапии оРТПХ (2 (1–4) и 1 (1–2); р = 0,2) и времени терапии данного осложнения (63 (23–1455) дня и 70 (44–111) дней; р = 0,72) были схожими в 2 группах. Частота развития хрРТПХ в группе с ИДЛ (n = 7; 17%) и в группе сравнения (n = 12; 26%) значимо не различались (р = 0,45). При развитии оРТПХ было обнаружено статистически значимое снижение кумулятивной частоты костномозговых рецидивов у пациентов как после применения ИДЛ, так и без ее использования (–ИДЛ 63% (95% доверительный интервал (ДИ) 43–77), +ИДЛ 41% (95% ДИ 24–57), –ИДЛр 21% (95% ДИ 5–46), +ИДЛр 14% (95% ДИ 1–50%) (р = 0,003)). Не зафиксировано значимых различий в кумулятивной частоте экстрамедуллярных рецидивов в исследуемых группах, значения которой уложились в диапазон 16–29% (р = 0,8). Общая выживаемость у пациентов из подгрупп с оРТПХ (–ИДЛр и +ИДЛр) составила 86% (95% ДИ 33–98) и 84% (95% ДИ 50–96) соответственно и статистически значимо отличалась от подгрупп без оРТПХ (+ИДЛ и –ИДЛ): 54% (95% ДИ 35–70%) и 38% (95% ДИ 20–56) соответственно (р = 0,012). Среди 55 пациентов с установленным рецидивом в посттрансплантационном периоде оценка потери HLA-гетерозиготности была проведена в 22 (40%) случаях. Из них потеря HLAгаплотипа зафиксирована у 7 (32%) пациентов: 3 (42,9%) были из подгруппы +ИДЛ, 2 (28,6%) – из подгруппы –ИДЛ и 2 (28,6%) – из подгруппы –ИДЛр. Из 15 человек без потери HLA предшествующая оРТПХ была у 1 (6,7%) пациента без проведения ИДЛ в анамнезе (p = 0,57). Таким образом, ИДЛ с профилактической целью у детей с острым лимфобластным и острым миелоидным лейкозами показывает свою эффективность в предотвращении возникновения костномозговых рецидивов после аллогенной ТГСК. Развитие оРТПХ обладает потенцирующим эффектом, приводя к усилению иммуноадоптивной активности донорских лимфоцитов. Тяжесть и характер ИДЛ-индуцированной оРТПХ в детской возрастной группе значимо не отличаются от классической формы данного осложнения, развивающегося в ранние сроки после трансплантации.

Abstract

Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) for prophylactic purposes enhances the immunoadoptive antitumor effect, thereby reducing the risk of relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with acute leukemia. One of the main limiting factors for the use of DLI is the risk of developing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). According to studies, the incidence of this complication of DLI ranges from 15% to 45% for acute GVHD (aGVHD) and from 10% to 50% for the chronic form. The development of GVHD after DLI also leads to enhancement of the antitumor effect and reduces the risk of relapse. At the same time, an increased risk of relapse is associated with the loss of HLA heterozygosity after haploidentical HSCT, and the role of GVHD in this process has not been investigated yet. In this single-center retrospective study, we performed a comparative analysis of the risk of bone marrow and extramedullary relapses in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia who had received prophylactic DLI after allogeneic HSCT. We also assessed the severity of DLI-induced aGVHD and the incidence and severity of chronic GVHD, and investigated the relationship between aGVHD and the loss of HLA heterozygosity. We identified two groups of patients: those who had received prophylactic DLI (an intervention group; n = 41) and those who had not (a comparison group; n = 46). Informed consent to the inclusion in the study was obtained from all the patients/legal representatives. Protocol (No. 249 dated 31.05.2021) was registered in the Ethics Committee of the I.P. Pavlov First Saint Petersburg State Medical University of Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation. All the patients were divided into four subgroups according the use of IDL and the development of aGVHD: +DLI – patients with DLI and without aGVHD (n = 34); +DLIGVHD – patients with DLI-induced aGVHD (n = 7); –DLI – patients without DLI and aGVHD (n = 34); –DLIGVHD – patients without DLI and with a history of aGVHD (n = 12). A total of 7 (17%) cases of DLI-induced aGVHD were recorded. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence and severity of gastrointestinal tract involvement (p = 1) and liver involvement (p = 0.75) between the 2 groups. The incidence of grade III–IV skin GVHD (p = 0.06) was higher in the non-DLI group. No deaths associated with DLI-induced GVHD were recorded. The median number of aGVHD treatment lines (2 (1–4) and 1 (1–2); p = 0.2) and the duration of treatment (63 (23–1455) days and 70 (44–111) days; p = 0.72) were similar in the 2 groups. The incidence of chronic GVHD in the DLI group (n = 7; 17%) and in the comparison group (n = 12; 26%) did not differ significantly (p = 0.45). The cumulative incidence of bone marrow relapses was significantly lower in those patients who developed aGVHD, after DLI or without DLI (–DLI 63% (95% confidence interval (CI) 43–77), +DLI 41% (95% CI 24–57), –DLIGVHD 21% (95% CI 5–46), +DLIGVHD 14% (1–50%) (p = 0.003)). There were no significant differences between the study groups in terms of the cumulative incidence of extramedullary relapses that ranged from 16% to 29% (p = 0.8). The overall survival of the patients with aGVHD (from the –DLIGVHD and +DLIGVHD groups) was 86% (95% CI 33–98) and 84% (95% CI 50–96), respectively, and it was statistically significantly different from the overall survival of the patients without aGVHD: 54% (95% CI 35–70) and 38% (95% CI 20–56) in the +DLI and –DLI subgroups, respectively (p = 0.012). The loss of HLA heterozygosity was evaluated in 22 (40%) out of 55 patients with a post-transplant relapse. In total, HLA haplotype loss was detected in 7 (32%) patients, 3 of whom were from the +DLI group (42.9%), 2 from the –DLI group (28.6%), and another 2 from the –DLIGVHD group (28.6%). Out of 15 individuals without HLA loss, one patient (6.7%) had a history aGVHD and did not receive DLI (p = 0.57). Thus, prophylactic DLI in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia is shown to be effective in preventing bone marrow relapses after allogeneic HSCT. The development of aGVHD has a potentiating effect resulting in increased immunoadoptive activity of donor lymphocytes. The severity and clinical manifestations of DLI-induced aGVHD in pediatric patients do not differ significantly from those patients who develop classical aGVHD early after transplantation.
