PG - 735-9 LID - S1083-8791(14)00048-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbmt.2014.01.017 [doi] AB - The impact of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) donor-specific antibodies (DSA) on cord blood (CB) engraftment is controversial. We evaluated the influence of pre-existing HLA-antibodies (HLA-Abs) on engraftment in 82 double-unit CB recipients (median age, 48 years) who underwent transplantation for hematologic malignancies. Of 28 patients (34%) with HLA-Abs, 12 had DSA (median mean fluorescence intensity 5255; range, 1057 to 9453). DSA patients had acute leukemia (n = 11) or myelodysplasia (n = 1) and all received either high-dose or reduced-intensity (but myeloablative) conditioning. After myeloablative CB transplantation (CBT) (n = 67), sustained donor engraftment was observed in 95% without HLA-Abs (median, 23 days), 100% with nonspecific HLA-Abs (median, 23 days), and 92% with DSA (median, 31 days, P = .48). Of 6 patients with HLA-Abs to 1 unit, 3 engrafted with that unit and 3 with the other. Of 6 patients with HLA-Abs against both units, 1 had graft failure despite being 100% donor, and 5 engrafted with 1 unit. Successful donor engraftment is possible in patients with DSA after myeloablative double-unit CBT. Our data suggest potential deleterious effects of DSA can be abrogated in patients with hematologic malignancies. CI - Copyright (c) 2014 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.
