ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Veno-occlusive disease (VOD), also known as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), is a life-threatening complications of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).METHODS:
We studied the impact of early defibrotide (DF) therapy on the outcomes of pediatric patients with VOD/SOS after transplantation, focusing on recent immunotherapies. A total of 111 pediatric patients who underwent HCT for malignant disease between February 2017 and March 2023 at Kyushu University Hospital were included.RESULTS:
Among 111 patients of less than 20 years of age who underwent HCT for malignancy at a single institution between 2017 and 2023, VOD/SOS occurred in 25 (23%) patients. VOD/SOS developed more frequently in the post-DF era (2020-2023, n = 58) than in the pre-DF era (31% vs. 13%, p = .04). The proportion of patients with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was higher in the post-DF era than in the pre-DF era (44% vs. 8%, p = .04). Early DF therapy that was started at two European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation diagnostic criteria reduced the severity of VOD/SOS (p < .01) in comparison to non-early therapy started at less than two criteria. A multivariate analysis indicated that a history of cytokine release syndrome (odds ratio [OR] = 10.4, p = .01) and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (OR = 8.98, p = .04), but not an endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) score of greater than 0.85, were independent risk factors for VOD/SOS.CONCLUSIONS:
Early DF therapy improves the severity and survival outcomes of post-transplant VOD/SOS in children. However, its incidence is increasing in the era of immunotherapy for progressive diseases.Palavras-chave
