HLA matching in haploidentical related donor allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation

ReferenceConsensus guidelines
Ciurea et al31  (2020) T-replete Haplo using ptCy-based GVHD prophylaxis:
1. Avoid DSA (MFI <1000)
2. Younger donor over older
3. Male donor for male recipient
4. Sibling or offspring over parent
5. Father preferred over mother
6. ABO match over minor over major mismatch 
 New research published, since release of guidelines 
Study Population Trial/study design Comparison(s) Key findings 
Solomon et al32  (2020) N = 208 consecutive first alloHCT for hematologic malignancy receiving T-cell replete Haplo with ptCy GVHD prophylaxis Observational—single center 1. Total number of mismatches
2. Individual locus match/mismatch effects on outcomes 
1. HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DPB1 nonpermissive mismatch independently associated with improved OS
2. HLA-A mismatch increased chronic GVHD 
Fuchs et al34  (2022) N = 1484, first alloHCT for ALL, AML, or MDS, adult patients receiving T-cell replete Haplo with ptCy-based GVHD prophylaxis Observational—multicenter 1. Total number of mismatches
2. Individual locus match/mismatch effects on outcomes 
1. No association with number of mismatches
2. HLA-B leader match improves OS and DFS; HLA-DRB1 GVH vector mismatch decreases relapse and improves DFS; HLA-DPB1 nonpermissive mismatch improves OS and DFS; HLA-C match decreases chronic GVHD
