Signatures of GVHD and Relapse after Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide Revealed by Immune Profiling and Machine Learning [17941R-18740R]

Lymphocyte subsets (CD8, CD4 Tconv, NK cells) were sorted from patients' peripheral blood obtained on day 28 after haploidentical-donor allogeneic bone marrow transplantation followed by posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus, and MMF as GVHD prophylaxis (NCT00796562). Cohort of patients developed GVHD, or remained GVHD-free. Cohort of patients developed disease relapse, or remained relapse-free. RNA-sequencing was performed to analyze the transcriptional landscape of alloresponse in post-PTCy breakthrough GVHD and relapse. 11-14 unique patients were analyzed for each immune subset
