Haploidentical transplantation in pediatric non-malignant diseases: A retrospective analysis on behalf of the Spanish Group for Hematopoietic Transplantation (GETH)
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF HAEMATOLOGY(2021)
Abstract
Objective Describe the GETH haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) activity in non-malignant disease (NMDs). Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from children with NMDs who underwent haplo-HSCT. Results From January 2001 to December 2016, 26 pediatric patients underwent 31 haplo-HSCT through ex vivo T cell-depleted (TCD) graft platforms or post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) at 7 Spanish centers. Five cases employed unmanipulated PT-Cy haplo-HSCT, 16 employed highly purified CD34(+) cells, and 10 employed ex vivo TCD grafts manipulated either with CD3(+)CD19(+) depletion, TCR alpha beta(+)CD19(+) selection or naive CD45RA(+) T-cell depletion. Peripheral blood stem cells were the sole source for patients following TCD haplo-HSCT, and bone marrow was the source for one PT-Cy haplo-HSCT. The most common indications for transplantation were primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs), severe aplastic anemia, osteopetrosis, and thalassemia. The 1-year cumulative incidence of graft failure was 27.4%. The 1-year III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and 1-year chronic GvHD rates were 34.6% and 16.7%, respectively. The 2-year overall survival was 44.9% for PIDs, and the 2-year graft-versus-host disease-free and relapse-free survival rate was 37.6% for the other NMDs. The transplantation-related mortality at day 100 was 30.8%. Conclusion Although these results are discouraging, improvements will come if procedures are centralized in centers of expertise.
