RESUMEN

HLA-mismatched transplants with either in vitro depletion of CD3+TCRαß/CD19 (TCRαß) cells or in vivo T-cell depletion using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) have been increasingly used for patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI). We performed a retrospective multicenter study via the EBMT registry on 306 children with IEI undergoing first transplant between 2010-2019 from an HLA-mismatched donor using TCRαß (n=167) or PTCY (n=139). Median age at HSCT was 1.2 years (range, 0.03-19.6 years). The 3-year overall survival (OS) was 78% (95% confidence interval (CI), 71-84%) after TCRαß and 66% (57-74%) after PTCY (p=0.013). Pre-HSCT morbidity score (hazard ratio (HR) 2.27, 1.07-4.80, p=0.032) and non-Busulfan/Treosulfan conditioning (HR 3.12, 1.98-4.92, p<0.001) were the only independent predictors of unfavorable OS. The 3-year event-free survival (EFS) was 58% (50-66%) after TCRαß and 57% (48-66%) after PTCY (p=0.804). Cumulative incidence of severe acute GvHD was higher after PTCY (15%, 9-21%) than TCRαß (6%, 2-9%, p=0.007), with no difference in chronic GvHD (PTCY, 11%, 6-17%; TCRαß, 7%, 3-11%, p=0.173). The 3-year GvHD-free EFS was 53% (44-61%) after TCRαß and 41% (32-50%) after PTCY (p=0.080). PTCY had significantly higher rates of veno-occlusive disease (14.4% versus TCRαß 4.9%, p=0.009), acute kidney injury (12.7% versus 4.6%, p=0.032) and pulmonary complications (38.2% versus 24.1%, p=0.017). Adenoviraemia (18.3% versus PTCY 8.0%, p=0.015), primary graft failure (10%, versus 5%, p=0.048), and second HSCT (17.4% versus 7.9%, p=0.023) were significantly higher in TCRαß. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that both approaches are suitable options in IEI patients, although characterized by different advantages and outcomes.

RESUMEN

WAS is a multifaceted monogenic disorder with a broad disease spectrum and variable disease severity and a variety of treatment options including allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and gene therapy (GT). No reliable biomarker exists to predict disease course and outcome for individual patients. A total of 577 patients with a WAS variant from 26 countries and a median follow-up of 8.9 years (0.3-71.1), totaling 6118 patient-years, were included in this international retrospective study. Overall survival (OS) of the cohort (censored at HSCT or GT) was 82% (95% CI 78-87) at 15 years and 70% (61-80) at 30 years of age. The type of variant was predictive of outcome: patients with a missense variant in exons 1 or 2 or with the intronic hotspot variant c.559+5G>A (class I variants) had a 15-year OS of 93% (89-98) and a 30-year OS of 91% (86-97), compared to 71% (62-81) and 48% (34-68) in patients with any other variant (class II; p<0.0001). The cumulative incidence rates of disease-related complications such as severe bleeding (p=0.007), life-threatening infection (p<0.0001), and autoimmunity (p=0.004) occurred significantly later in patients with a class I variant. The cumulative incidence of malignancy (p=0.6) was not different between classes I and II. This study represents the largest cohort of WAS patients studied so far. It confirms the spectrum of disease severity and quantifies the risk for specific disease-related complications. The class of variant is a biomarker to predict the outcome for WAS patients.

RESUMEN

Mutations in proteasome ß-subunits or their chaperone and regulatory proteins are associated with proteasome-associated autoinflammatory disorders (PRAAS). We studied six unrelated infants with three de novo heterozygous missense variants in PSMB10, encoding the proteasome ß2i-subunit. Individuals presented with T-B-NK± severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and clinical features suggestive of Omenn syndrome, including diarrhea, alopecia, and desquamating erythematous rash. Remaining T cells had limited T cell receptor repertoires, a skewed memory phenotype, and an elevated CD4/CD8 ratio. Bone marrow examination indicated severely impaired B cell maturation with limited V(D)J recombination. All infants received an allogeneic stem cell transplant and exhibited a variety of severe inflammatory complications thereafter, with 2 peri-transplant and 2 delayed deaths. The single long-term transplant survivor showed evidence for genetic rescue through revertant mosaicism overlapping the affected PSMB10 locus. The identified variants (c.166G>C [p.Asp56His] and c.601G>A/c.601G>C [p.Gly201Arg]) were predicted in silico to profoundly disrupt 20S immunoproteasome structure through impaired ß-ring/ß-ring interaction. Our identification of PSMB10 mutations as a cause of SCID-Omenn syndrome reinforces the connection between PRAAS-related diseases and SCID.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) with dysregulated JAK/STAT signaling present with variable manifestations of immune dysregulation and infections. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is potentially curative, but initially reported outcomes were poor. JAK inhibitors (JAKi) offer a targeted treatment option that may be an alternative or bridge to HSCT. However, data on their current use, treatment efficacy and adverse events are limited. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the current off-label JAKi treatment experience for JAK/STAT inborn errors of immunity (IEI) among European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID)/European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Inborn Errors Working Party (IEWP) centers. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study on patients with a genetic disorder of hyperactive JAK/STAT signaling who received JAKi treatment for at least 3 months. RESULTS: Sixty-nine patients (72% children) were evaluated (45 STAT1 gain of function [GOF], 21 STAT3-GOF, 1 STAT5B-GOF, 1 suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 [aka SOCS1] loss of function, 1 JAK1-GOF). Ruxolitinib was the predominantly prescribed JAKi (80%). Overall, treatment resulted in improvement (partial or complete remission) of clinical symptoms in 87% of STAT1-GOF and in 90% of STAT3-GOF patients. We documented highly heterogeneous dosing and monitoring regimens. The response rate and time to response varied across different diseases and manifestations. Adverse events including infection and weight gain were frequent (38% of patients) but were mild (grade I-II) and transient in most patients. At last follow-up, 52 (74%) of 69 patients were still receiving JAKi treatment, and 11 patients eventually underwent HSCT after receipt of previous JAKi bridging therapy, with 91% overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that JAKi may be highly effective to treat symptomatic JAK/STAT IEI patients. Prospective studies to define optimal JAKi dosing for the variable clinical presentations and age ranges should be pursued.

RESUMEN

Primary immune regulatory disorders (PIRDs) are inborn errors of immunity caused by a loss in the regulatory mechanism of the inflammatory or immune response, leading to impaired immunological tolerance or an exuberant inflammatory response to various stimuli due to loss or gain of function mutations. Whilst PIRDs may feature susceptibility to recurrent, severe, or opportunistic infection in their phenotype, this group of syndromes has broadened the spectrum of disease caused by defects in immunity-related genes to include autoimmunity, autoinflammation, lymphoproliferation, malignancy, and allergy; increasing focus on PIRDs has thus redefined the classical 'primary immunodeficiency' as one aspect of an overarching group of inborn errors of immunity. The growing number of genetic defects associated with PIRDs has expanded our understanding of immune tolerance mechanisms and prompted identification of molecular targets for therapy. However, PIRDs remain difficult to recognize due to incomplete penetrance of their diverse phenotype, which may cross organ systems and present to multiple clinical specialists prior to review by an immunologist. Control of immune dysregulation with immunosuppressive therapies must be balanced against the enhanced infective risk posed by the underlying defect and accumulated end-organ damage, posing a challenge to clinicians. Whilst allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may correct the underlying immune defect, identification of appropriate patients and timing of transplant is difficult. The relatively recent description of many PIRDs and rarity of individual genetic entities that comprise this group means data on natural history, clinical progression, and treatment are limited, and so international collaboration will be needed to better delineate phenotypes and the impact of existing and potential therapies. This review explores pathophysiology, clinical features, current therapeutic strategies for PIRDs including cellular platforms, and future directions for research.

RESUMEN

X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (XL-CGD) is an inherited disorder of superoxide production, causing failure to generate the oxidative burst in phagocytes. It is characterized by invasive bacterial and fungal infections, inflammation, and chronic autoimmune disease. While XL-CGD carriers were previously assumed to be healthy, a range of clinical manifestations with significant morbidity have recently been described in a subgroup of carriers with impaired neutrophil oxidative burst due to skewed lyonization. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the standard curative treatment for CGD but has rarely been reported in individual symptomatic carriers to date. We undertook a retrospective international survey of outcome of HSCT for symptomatic XL-CGD carriers. Seven symptomatic female XL-CGD carriers aged 1-56 years underwent HSCT in four centers, indicated for severe and recurrent infection, colitis, and autoimmunity. Two patients died from transplant-related complications, following donor engraftment and restoration of oxidative burst. All surviving patients demonstrated resolution of their neutrophil oxidative burst defect with concordant reduction in infection and inflammatory symptoms and freedom from further immunosuppressive therapy. In conclusion, allogeneic HSCT may cure the phagocyte defect in symptomatic XL-CGD carriers and improve their recurrent and disabling infective and inflammatory symptoms but risks transplant-related complications.

RESUMEN

A significant complication of HSCT is graft failure, although few studies focus on this problem in patients with inborn errors of immunity (IE). We explored outcome of second HSCT for IEI by a retrospective, single-centre study between 2002 and 2022. Four hundred ninety-three patients underwent allogeneic HSCT for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID; n = 113, 22.9%) or non-SCID IEI (n = 380, 77.1%). Thirty patients (6.0%) required second HSCT. Unconditioned infusion or no serotherapy at first HSCT was more common in patients who required second transplant. Median interval between first and second HSCT was 0.97 years (range: 0.19-8.60 years); a different donor was selected for second HSCT in 24/30 (80.0%) patients. Conditioning regimens for second HSCT were predominately treosulfan-based (with thiotepa: n = 18, 60.0%; without, n = 6, 20.0%). Patients received grafts from peripheral blood stem cell (n = 25, 83.3%) or bone marrow (n = 5, 16.7%) with median stem cell dose 9.5 × 106 CD34 + cells/kilogram (range: 1.4-32.3). Median follow-up was 1.92 years (0.22-16.0). Overall survival was 80.8% and event-free survival was 64.7%. Four patients died, two of early-transplant related complications, and two of late sepsis post-second HSCT. Three patients required third HSCT; all are alive with 100% donor chimerism. Cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease was 28.4%, (all grade I-II). Viral reactivation was seen in 13/30 (43.3%) patients, including HHV6 (n = 6), CMV (n = 4), and adenovirus (n = 2). At latest follow-up, 25/26 surviving patients have donor chimerism ≥ 90% and 16/25 (64.0%) have discontinued immunoglobulin replacement. Second HSCT offers IEI patients with graft failure curative treatment with good overall survival and immunological recovery.

RESUMEN

Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is the most profound inborn error of immunity affecting cellular and humoral immunity. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been a curative treatment since 1968. Huge progress has been made since then in understanding the underlying genetics, improving outcomes from transplant, and introducing gene therapy in particular for adenosine deaminase deficient- and IL2 receptor gamma-deficient SCID. Newborn screening has been widely introduced across the world to enable definitive treatment before infection occurs. This article aims to review the latest evidence on how to achieve curative treatment with minimal short- and long-term toxicity, normal immune reconstitution and good quality of life.

RESUMEN

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the gold standard curative therapy for infants and children with many inborn errors of immunity (IEI), but adolescents and adults with IEI are rarely referred for transplant. Lack of published HSCT outcome data outside small, single-center studies and perceived high risk of transplant-related mortality have delayed the adoption of HSCT for IEI patients presenting or developing significant organ damage later in life. This large retrospective, multicenter HSCT outcome study reports on 329 IEI patients (age range, 15-62.5 years at HSCT). Patients underwent first HSCT between 2000 and 2019. Primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS). We also evaluated the influence of IEI-subgroup and IEI-specific risk factors at HSCT, including infections, bronchiectasis, colitis, malignancy, inflammatory lung disease, splenectomy, hepatic dysfunction, and systemic immunosuppression. At a median follow-up of 44.3 months, the estimated OS at 1 and 5 years post-HSCT for all patients was 78% and 71%, and EFS was 65% and 62%, respectively, with low rates of severe acute (8%) or extensive chronic (7%) graft-versus-host disease. On univariate analysis, OS and EFS were inferior in patients with primary antibody deficiency, bronchiectasis, prior splenectomy, hepatic comorbidity, and higher hematopoietic cell transplant comorbidity index scores. On multivariable analysis, EFS was inferior in those with a higher number of IEI-associated complications. Neither age nor donor had a significant effect on OS or EFS. We have identified age-independent risk factors for adverse outcome, providing much needed evidence to identify which patients are most likely to benefit from HSCT.

RESUMEN

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and gene therapy are the only curative therapies for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). In patients lacking a matched donor, TCRαß/CD19-depleted haploidentical family donor transplant (TCRαß-HaploSCT) is a promising strategy. Conditioned transplant in SCID correlates to better myeloid chimerism and reduced immunoglobulin dependency. We studied transplant outcome in SCID infants according to donor type, specifically TCRαß-HaploSCT, and conditioning, through retrospective cohort analysis of 52 consecutive infants with SCID transplanted between 2013 and 2020. Median age at transplant was 5.1 months (range, 0.8-16.6). Donors were TCRαß-HaploSCT (n = 16, 31.4%), matched family donor (MFD, n = 15, 29.4%), matched unrelated donor (MUD, n = 9, 17.6%), and matched unrelated cord blood (CB, n = 11, 21.6%). Forty-one (80%) received fludarabine/treosulfan-based conditioning, 3 (6%) had alemtuzumab only, and 7 (14%) received unconditioned infusions. For conditioned transplants (n = 41), 3-year overall survival was 91% (95% confidence interval, 52-99%) for TCRαß-HaploSCT, 80% (41-98%) for MFD, 87% (36-98%) for MUD, and 89% (43-98%) for CB (p = 0.89). Cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease was 11% (2-79%) after TCRαß-HaploSCT, 0 after MFD, 29% (7-100%) after MUD, and 11% (2-79%) after CB (p = 0.10). 9/10 patients who received alemtuzumab-only or unconditioned transplants survived. Myeloid chimerism was higher following conditioning (median 47%, range 0-100%) versus unconditioned transplant (median 3%, 0-9%) (p < 0.001), as was the proportion of immunoglobulin-free long-term survivors (n = 29/36, 81% vs n = 4/9, 54%) (p < 0.001). TCRαß-HaploSCT has comparable outcome to MUD and is a promising alternative donor strategy for infants with SCID lacking MFD. This study confirms that conditioned transplant offers better myeloid chimerism and immunoglobulin freedom in long-term survivors.

RESUMEN

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for patients affected by Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS). Reported HSCT outcomes have improved over time with respect to overall survival, but some studies have identified older age and HSCT from alternative donors as risk factors predicting poorer outcome. We analyzed 197 patients undergoing transplant at European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation centers between 2006 and 2017 who received conditioning as recommended by the Inborn Errors Working Party (IEWP): either busulfan (n = 103) or treosulfan (n = 94) combined with fludarabine ± thiotepa. After a median follow-up post-HSCT of 44.9 months, 176 patients were alive, resulting in a 3-year overall survival of 88.7% and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free survival (events include death, graft failure, and severe chronic GVHD) of 81.7%. Overall survival and chronic GVHD-free survival were not significantly affected by conditioning regimen (busulfan- vs treosulfan-based), donor type (matched sibling donor/matched family donor vs matched unrelated donor/mismatched unrelated donor vs mismatched family donor), or period of HSCT (2006-2013 vs 2014-2017). Patients aged <5 years at HSCT had a significantly better overall survival. The overall cumulative incidences of grade III to IV acute GVHD and extensive/moderate/severe chronic GVHD were 6.6% and 2.1%, respectively. Patients receiving treosulfan-based conditioning had a higher incidence of graft failure and mixed donor chimerism and more frequently underwent secondary procedures (second HSCT, unconditioned stem cell boost, donor lymphocyte infusion, or splenectomy). In summary, HSCT for WAS with conditioning regimens currently recommended by IEWP results in excellent survival and low rates of GVHD, regardless of donor or stem cell source, but age ≥5 years remains a risk factor for overall survival.

RESUMEN

Intravenous busulfan is widely used as part of myeloablative conditioning regimens in children and young adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Hepatic veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) is a serious clinical problem observed with busulfan-based conditioning HCT. The development of VOD/SOS may be associated with busulfan exposure. Getting more insight into the association between busulfan exposure and the development of VOD/SOS enables further optimization of dosing and treatment strategies. The objective of this study was to assess the association between the magnitude of busulfan exposure and the occurrence of VOD/SOS in children and young adults undergoing myeloablative conditioning with a busulfan-containing regimen before allogeneic HCT. In this observational study we included all patients who underwent allogeneic HCT with intravenous busulfan as part of the conditioning regimen at 15 pediatric transplantation centers between 2000 and 2015. The endpoint was the development of VOD/SOS. The magnitude of busulfan exposure was estimated using nonlinear mixed effect modeling and expressed as the maximal concentration (Cmax; day 1 and day 1 to 4 Cmax), cumulative area under the curve (AUC; day 1, highest 1-day AUC in 4 days, and 4-day cumulative AUC), cumulative time above a concentration of 300 µg/L, and clearance on day 1. A total of 88 out of 697 patients (12.6%) developed VOD/SOS. The number of alkylators in the conditioning regimen was a strong effect modifier; therefore we stratified the regression analysis for the number of alkylators. For patients receiving only busulfan as one alkylator (36.3%, n = 253), cumulative busulfan exposure (>78 mg × h/L) was associated with increased VOD/SOS risk (12.6% versus 4.7%; odds ratio [OR] = 2.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13 to 7.66). For individuals receiving busulfan with one or two additional alkylators (63.7%, n = 444), cumulative busulfan exposure (≤78 and >78 mg × h/L) did not further increase the risk of VOD/SOS (15.4% versus 15.2%; OR = 1.03, 95% CI 0.61 to 1.75). The effect of the magnitude of busulfan exposure on VOD/SOS risk in children and young adults undergoing HCT is dependent on the number of alkylators. In patients receiving busulfan as the only alkylator, higher cumulative busulfan exposure increased the risk of VOD/SOS, whereas in those receiving multiple alkylators, the magnitude of busulfan exposure did not further increase this risk.

RESUMEN

Predisposition to mycobacterial infection is a key presenting feature of several rare inborn errors of intrinsic and innate immunity. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can be curative for such conditions, but published reports are few. We present a retrospective survey of the outcome of 11 affected patients (7 males, 4 females) who underwent HSCT between 2007 and 2019. Eight patients had disseminated mycobacterial infection prior to transplant. Median age at first transplant was 48 months (9 -192); three patients were successfully re-transplanted due to secondary graft failure. Donors were matched family (1), matched unrelated (3), and mismatched unrelated and haploidentical family (5 each). Stem cell source was peripheral blood (9), bone marrow (4), and cord blood (1). TCRαß/CD19 + depletion was performed in 6. Conditioning regimens were treosulfan, fludarabine (4), with additional thiotepa (in 8), and fludarabine, melphalan (2); all had serotherapy with alemtuzumab (8) or anti T-lymphocyte globulin (6). Median hospital stay was 113 days (36-330). Three patients developed acute grade I-II skin and one grade IV skin graft versus host disease. Four patients had immune-reconstitution syndrome. Two reactivated cytomegalovirus (CMV), 1 Epstein-Barr virus, and 3 adenovirus post HSCT. Nine are alive, 1 died early post-transplant from CMV, and the other was a late death from pneumococcal sepsis. Patients with active mycobacterial infection at HSCT continued anti-mycobacterial therapy for almost 12 months. In conclusion, HSCT is a successful treatment for patients with mycobacterial susceptibility even with disseminated mycobacterial infection and in the absence of an HLA matched donor.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: A small proportion of children affected by rheumatic diseases suffer from severe, progressive disease, resistant to conventional antirheumatic therapies and to biologic agents interfering with inflammatory cytokines, costimulatory molecules expressed on immune system cells and intracellular signalling pathways. Adding to the poor prognosis is a high risk from significant morbidity and mortality associated with long-term treatment with multiple, often combined anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents. Carefully selected patients from this unfortunate group may benefit from treatment with haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. RECENT FINDINGS: The majority of patients with severe paediatric rheumatic and autoinflammatory diseases treated with autologous and/or allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation achieved long-term remission. However, the incidence of disease relapse and transplant related morbidity and mortality is still significant. SUMMARY: Careful patient and donor selection, timing of the transplant earlier in the course of disease rather than the 'last resort' and choosing the most suitable conditioning regimen for each individual patient are the major factors favouring successful outcome. Close co-operation between the patients, their family, and involved medical teams is essential.

RESUMEN

Major histocompatibility class I deficiency, due to genetic lesions in TAP1, TAP2, TAPBP, or B2M, manifests with recurrent sinopulmonary infections and granulomatous skin ulceration, and is predominately treated with antimicrobial prophylaxis and chest physiotherapy. One previous report of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been described in the literature, demonstrating cure of the immune defect without significant graft-versus-host disease. In this report, we expand the literature on HSCT in MHC-I deficiency with follow-up of the original patient, demonstrating maintained resolution of normal immune function and regression of the granulomatous rash 15 years post-transplant, and describe a further patient with mycobacterial disease whose transplant course was complicated by severe graft-versus-host disease.

RESUMEN

Homozygous mutations in cytochrome b-245 chaperone 1 (CYBC1) have been recently described as causing recurrent infections and inflammatory disease in an Icelandic cohort and a patient from Saudi Arabia, by destabilising the dimerisation of gp91phox with p22phox, manifesting as phenotypic chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the treatment of choice in CGD, though experience of transplantation in this subtype of CGD is limited to a brief description in one patient. We provide clinical and transplant data for two Icelandic brothers with CGD due to homozygous p.Tyr2Ter mutations in CYBC1, demonstrating maintained cure of the immune defect 11 years post-transplant in one brother, and death in the peri-transplant period for the other.
