Donor-derived malignancy (DDM) is a rare but often fatal complication of alloBMT, with a reported incidence of 0.1-5%. AlloBMT utilizing high-dose post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT/Cy) as GVHD prophylaxis produces excellent rates of engraftment and low rates of acute and chronic GVHD. Because exposing the allograft to cytotoxic chemotherapy may theoretically increase the risk of DDM, we evaluated the incidence of DDM after alloBMT with PT/Cy. From 2000-2012, 790 patients (median age 51y, range 1-74y) received T-cell replete alloBMT with high-dose PT/Cy at Johns Hopkins, including 313 (40%) who received PT/Cy as sole GVHD prophylaxis.  Of these transplants, 349 (44%) were HLA-haploidentical and 346 (44%) were myeloablative.  Median donor age was 41y (range 13-79y). With a median follow-up of 3y (range, 0.8-9.4y) in patients without events, the 3 year PFS and OS probabilities were 42% and 56% respectively. Five cases (5/790=0.6%) of DDM were identified as well as one case of clonal, donor-derived LGL leukemia that resolved without any therapy. By competing-risk analysis, the probability of DDM was 0.6% at 1 y, 0.8% at 5 y, and 2% overall (Figure).  In the 5 identified cases of DDM, the median patient age was 41y (range 18-65 y) at BMT and median donor age was 41y (31-67y).  These patients were initially transplanted for ALL (1), NHL (3), or Hodgkin lymphoma (1). Two patients received myeloablative conditioning and 3 received additional GVHD prophylaxis with mycophenolate mofetil and tacrolimus. The median time from BMT to the diagnosis of DDM was 1.3y (range 0.5-6.3y).  DDMs consisted of MDS (1), AML (3), and CMML (1). All of the patients received treatment for their DDM; 2 are long term survivors and 3 died of their DDM. The incidence of developing a DDM after high-dose PT/Cy is rare, and is within the range reported for other transplant platforms.
