Abstract

Since 2021 the use of G-CSF was implemented in allo-HCT with PTCY-based prophylaxis with the aim of shortening the aplastic phase and reducing infectious complications. This study investigates the effectiveness of this change in protocol performed at our institution. One-hundred forty-six adults undergoing allo-HCT with PTCY-based prophylaxis were included, and among them, 58 (40%) received G-CSF. The median of days to neutrophil engraftment was shorter in the G-CSF group (15 vs. 20 days, p < 0.001). Patients receiving G-CSF had a lower incidence of day +30 bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI) than the rest (20.7% vs. 47.7%, p < 0.001). GVHD, SOS, and TA-TMA incidences were comparable between groups, and using G-CSF did not impact on survival. Endothelial activation was investigated using EASIX and by the measurement of soluble biomarkers in cryopreserved plasma samples obtained on days 0, +7, +14 and +21 of 39 consecutive patients (10 received G-CSF) included in the study. EASIX, VWF:Ag, sVCAM-1, sTNFRI, ST2, REG3 alpha, TM and NETs medians values were comparable in patients receiving G-CSF and those who did not. Compared with allo-HCT performed without G-CSF, the addition of G-CSF to PTCY-based allo-HCT accelerated neutrophil engraftment contributing on decreasing BSI incidence, and without inducing additional endothelial activation.
