Long-term outcomes of patients surviving beyond 2 years post–allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

6508 Background: Advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have been driven by progress in supportive care, conditioning regimens, and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. Post-transplant morbidity and mortality are most pronounced in the first two years after HCT. Long-term outcomes have been previously described in a CIBMTR study, which reported a 10-year survival of 85% for those who survived the first two years. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has revolutionized transplant outcomes. However, its impact on long-term survival remains unclear. Methods: We included patients undergoing HSCT from Jan 2015 to Dec 2023 who were alive and without relapse two years after HSCT. We aimed to compare long-term outcomes in patients receiving PTCy-based GvHD prophylaxis to previous conventional GvHD prophylaxis strategies. Overall survival (OS) was calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method. The incidence of non‐relapse mortality (NRM) and relapse were estimated using Fine &amp; Gray's competing risk analysis. Results: Of the 1,401 patients, we included 571 patients alive and relapse-free two years after HCT (Table 1). The median follow-up post-HSCT was 4.8 years (3-5.9). The 5-year OS was 91% (95% CI: 88 – 94). The causes of death were: disease recurrence (17, 3%), infection (8, 1.4%), GvHD (4, 0.7%), second primary malignancies (3, 0.5%), and cardiac complications (3, 0.5%). The use of PTCy was associated with improved OS, 91.7% (95% CI: 88 – 95) vs. 88.7% (95% CI: 81 – 93), p=0.05. NRM at 5 years was 4.9% (95% CI: 3 – 7) and was significantly lower in patients receiving PTCy (2.9 % vs. 10.4%, p&lt;0.001). Relapse risk at 5 years was 9.2% (7 – 13) and was not significantly different between the groups, 10.6% in recipients of PTCy vs. 5.6%, p=0.06. On MVA accounting for confounding variables, PTCy was independently associated with improved OS [HR: 0.46 (0.2 – 0.8), p=0.01], and NRM [HR: 0.23 (0.1 – 0.5), p&lt;0.001]. Age &gt;60 years at HSCT was associated with increased mortality [HR: 2.8 (1.5 – 5.3), p=0.001]. The development of chronic GvHD was protective against relapse [HR: 0.5 (0.3 – 0.9), p=0.04] (Table 1). Conclusions: The long-term outcomes for patients alive and relapse-free 2 years after HSCT are excellent. Relapse remained the most common cause of death even after 2 years. PTCy-based GvHD prophylaxis was associated with improved NRM and OS without an impact on disease relapse. Baseline characteristics and multivariable analysis.

6508 Background: Advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have been driven by progress in supportive care, conditioning regimens, and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. Post-transplant morbidity and mortality are most pronounced in the first two years after HCT.

Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has revolutionized transplant outcomes. However, its impact on long-term survival remains unclear.
