Infections in non-myeloablative « Reduced intensity conditioning » stem cell transplant Catherine CORDONNIER Hôpital Henri Mondor, Créteil, France Reduced intensity conditioning SCT OBJECTIVES: -> Reduce the early toxicity of allogeneic SCT -> Keep the Graft-versus-leukemia effect Mainly proposed to: - older patients (> 55 y) - patients with comorbidity Reduces the duration of neutropenia Reduces mucosal and liver toxicity Does not solve the problem of GVHD 2 Example of a RIC / non myelo-ablative regimen Immunesuppression vs Myelosuppression TBI 2 Gy PB SCT Chimerism Analyses -4 -3 -2 -1 0 28 56 84 Fludarabine: 30 mg/sq./d Cyclosporine Mycophenolate Mofetil From Niederwieser et al. 2003 3 RIC: Different preparative regimens from Kassim AA et al.

BMT 2000) « Reduced-intensity conditioning reduces the risk of severe infections after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation » (Martino et al. BMT 2001) « High rate of invasive fungal infections following nonmyeloablative allogeneic transplantation » (Hagen et al. CID 2003) 9 Reduced Intensity Conditioning Regimens and Infections (2) No prospective study between RIC and standard SCT sofar published Only retrospective, case control studies, with bias of selection: - Age - Contraindication for standard conditioning 10 Fungal and Aspergillus infections Historical comparison between RIC and Conventional SCT No. Author RIC SCT % with IFI % with Asp No. Convent % with IFI % with Asp SCT Martino 2001 71 11% 5% 123 14% 8% Junghanss 2002 56 - 15% 112 - 9% Fukuda 2003 163 19% 14% 1673 - 10% Kojima 2004 178 - 8.2% 486 - 4.5% Sorror 2004 60 12% - 74 14% 11 Comparison of invasive fungal infection after nonmyeloablative and myeloablative HCT (1993-1998) N=163 Aspergillosis All IFI N=163 N=1673 ns Fukuda, T. et al.

To be taken in consideration: - underlying disease: risk to go to RIC vs MA - risk of infection relapse Previous bacterial infection: - No if cured, without persistent focus Current bacterial infection: - Probably Yes is transplant is urgent, and the infectious situation is uncontrolled Previous Fungal infection ? 14 Allogeneic SCT and previous Invasive aspergillosis Risk of IA relapse estimated at # 30% (Nosary 1994, Cowie 1994, Martino 1997, Offner 1998, Cornelly 2002, Fukuda 2004) Probable protective effect of RIC, no TBI, secondary prophylaxis, > 1 mo of AF therapy, and resolution of imaging before transplant (Offner 1998, Fukuda 2004) Parody et al, EBMT 2006: Retrospective survey from 23 centers on pts transplanted with previous proven or probable IA 129 pts : 57 RIC and 72 MA 15 Progression of IA before Day 30 of an allogeneic SCT in patients with previous IA (Parody et al.

Finally at 1 year: No difference in the incidence of CMV combined manifestations 20 Infections after RIC transplants Conclusion - No prospective comparative studies sofar, but…. - A clear trend for less early bacterial infections - Comparable incidences of IFI, a trend for less in RIC - A likely protective effect of RIC in case of previous IA - Comparable incidences of CMV infection and disease - Delayed occurrence of fungal and viral infections - No data on late infections 21
