Immunosuppression is associated with clinical features and relapse risk of B cell posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder: A retrospective analysis based on the prospective, international, multicenter PTLD-1 trials

Background Current guideline recommendations for immunosuppression reduction after diagnosis of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) include stopping antimetabolites, reducing calcineurin inhibitors and maintaining corticosteroids. However, the effect of immunosuppression on PTLD relapse risk after up-to-date therapy is unclear. Methods This is a retrospective analysis of immunosuppression, patient baseline characteristics and relapse risk measured as landmark time to progression (TTP) starting 1 year after start of therapy in 159 patients with B cell PTLD after solid organ transplantation treated in the prospective, international, multicenter PTLD-1 trials with either sequential treatment (rituximab followed by CHOP chemotherapy) or risk-stratified sequential treatment (rituximab followed by rituximab or R-CHOP immunochemotherapy). Results Patient baseline characteristics at diagnosis of PTLD differed significantly depending on immunosuppression before diagnosis. Compared to immunosuppression before diagnosis, significantly fewer patients received an antimetabolite or a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) after diagnosis of PTLD. Relapse risk measured as landmark TTP was significantly higher for patients on corticosteroids compared to all others (p=0.010) as well as for patients on ciclosporin compared to those on tacrolimus (p=0.002), but similar for those on antimetabolites compared to all others (p=0.912). In a Cox regression analysis of landmark TTP, corticosteroid-containing immunosuppression after diagnosis of PTLD (p=0.002, hazard ratio (HR) 11.195) and age (p=0.001, HR 1.076/year) were identified as independent, significant risk factors for PTLD relapse. Conclusions In the prospective PTLD-1 trials, corticosteroid use after diagnosis of PTLD is associated with an increased risk of relapse whereas the use of antimetabolites is not. These findings require prospective validation.

All other authors declared no conflicts of interest. Funding The PTLD-1 trials were planned and initiated in 2003 and amended in 2006 as an investigator-initiated trial by the German and French PTLD Study Groups. In 2004, F Hoffmann-La Roche, AMGEN and Chugaï France granted financial support. Novartis provided funding for an analysis of the effect of immunosuppression on PTLD outcomes. The companies were neither involved in protocol design nor in data collection, analysis or interpretation. They had no role in writing the manuscript and were not involved in the decision to submit for publication. Copyright © 2018 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
