RESUMEN
New York is at the epicenter of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Columbia University Irving Medical Center/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (CUIMC/NYPH) had to make changes to its cellular therapy operations to ensure patient, donor, and staff safety and well-being. In this article, we discuss the process changes we instituted for cellular therapy clinical care, collection, processing, and cryopreservation to cope with the rapidly evolving pandemic.

Systems that evolve over time and follow mathematical laws as they evolve are called dynamical systems. Lymphocyte recovery and clinical outcomes in 41 allograft recipients conditioned using antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and 4.5-Gy total body irradiation were studied to determine if immune reconstitution could be described as a dynamical system. Survival, relapse, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were not significantly different in 2 cohorts of patients receiving different doses of ATG. However, donor-derived CD3(+) cell reconstitution was superior in the lower ATG dose cohort, and there were fewer instances of donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). Lymphoid recovery was plotted in each individual over time and demonstrated 1 of 3 sigmoid growth patterns: Pattern A (n = 15) had rapid growth with high lymphocyte counts, pattern B (n = 14) had slower growth with intermediate recovery, and pattern C (n = 10) had poor lymphocyte reconstitution. There was a significant association between lymphocyte recovery patterns and both the rate of change of donor-derived CD3(+) at day 30 after stem cell transplantation (SCT) and clinical outcomes. GVHD was observed more frequently with pattern A, relapse and DLI more so with pattern C, with a consequent survival advantage in patients with patterns A and B. We conclude that evaluating immune reconstitution after SCT as a dynamical system may differentiate patients at risk of adverse outcomes and allow early intervention to modulate that risk.

AIMS: There is a perceived benefit associated with the administration of donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) in patients with lymphoid malignancies relapsing after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. However, it is unclear if and how this benefit varies according to specific diseases. Because administration of DLI is not universally effective and could be associated with significant toxicities resulting in morbidity and mortality, it is imperative to identify cases where benefits outweigh harms of the procedure. MATERIALS & METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of the published literature and extracted and pooled data independently for each disease cohort: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), multiple myeloma (MM), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). RESULTS: In summary, 39 studies met inclusion criteria. The pooled proportion (95% CI) for complete response was 27% (16-40) in ALL, 55% (15-92) in CLL, 26% (19-33) in MM, 52% (33-71) in NHL and 37% (20-56) in HL. CONCLUSION: Complete response rates appear higher when DLI is used for relapsed CLL and lymphomas (NHL and HL), and less pronounced in ALL or MM. Absence of data pertaining to disease-specific prognostic determinants, such as adverse genetic or molecular abnormalities, or quantitative disease burden when applicable, limit our ability to identify cases in whom benefits from DLI outweigh risks associated with the procedure within a particular disease.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To maximize graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects while minimizing the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), we undertook a study of allogeneic CD34-selected peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation followed by CD8-depleted donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). DESIGN AND METHODS: Twenty-four patients with advanced hematologic malignancies were included. PBSC were collected in matched (N=16) or one-mismatch (N=8) related donors and CD34-selected. On day 60, donors donated lymphocytes that were CD8-depleted and separated into 3 aliquots containing 2 x 10(6), 1 x 10(7) and 5 x 10(7) CD3+ cells/kg (patients 1-13) or into 2 aliquots containing 1 x 10(7) and 5 x 10(7) CD3+ cells/kg (patients 14-24). The 1st aliquot was infused on day 60 and the other 1 (2) cryopreserved and infused on days 100 (and 140). RESULTS: An average of 100%, 100% and 84% of the scheduled dose could be administered in DLI 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Although the study group was at very high risk of GVHD, the actuarial incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD was 28% (13% for HLA-identical siblings) with only 1 patient developing grade III-IV GVHD (after DLI). The actuarial 2-year probability of extensive chronic GVHD was similarly low (13% for all patients and 0% for HLA-identical siblings). Individual cases as well as a 30% relapse rate (0% for standard-risk patients versus 55% for high-risk patients) indicated preservation of the GVL effect. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that allogeneic transplantation of CD34-selected PBSC followed by pre-emptive CD8-depleted DLI is feasible with rapid engraftment and minimizes the risk of severe GVHD. Large prospective trials are required to prove that it preserves the GVL effect fully.

Functional abilities of individual marrow precursor cells were defined by competitive limiting dilution without enrichment, tissue culture, or induced marking, manipulations that might affect cell functions. We directly measured long-term repopulating abilities in limiting doses (0.25-1.0 x 10(5)) of genetically marked congenic marrow cells. These were mixed with a standard dose of 4 or 5 x 10(5) competitor marrow cells, which contained a predictable distribution of precursor cells and allowed quantitative assays. Percentages of donor type T and B lymphocytes, granulocytes, platelets, and erythrocytes were measured in recipient blood. Applying the maximum likelihood statistic, concentrations (per 10(5)) of precursors repopulating at least one lineage were: 4.7 and 6.0 after 6 wk, 1.6 and 2.7 after 14 to 15 wk, and 1.2 and 1.9 after 30 to 32 wk; concentrations repopulating at least three lineages were 2.3 and 3.4 after 6 wk, 0.9 and 1.7 after 14 to 15 wk, and 0.9 and 1.3 after 32 wk. Almost all precursors functioning after 14 wk repopulated all lineages. At 6 wk, similar levels of donor cells were produced in recipients of both short- and long-term precursors. However, after 14 to 32 wk, contributions by short-term precursors (about two-thirds of the precursors) dropped to zero, while contributions by long-term precursors (about one-quarter of the precursors) expanded severalfold. The latter permanently repopulated all lineages after 30 to 32 wk, functioning as the most primitive stem cells (PSC) in the immune and myeloid systems. Nearly all the variance in long-term repopulated recipients was explained using the Poisson distribution to calculate donor percentages in a model where each donor and competitor PSC contributed equally.
