Genotype, oxidase status, and preceding infection or autoinflammation do not affect allogeneic HCT outcomes for CGD.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by life-threatening infections and inflammatory conditions. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the definitive treatment for CGD, but questions remain regarding patient selection and impact of active disease on transplant outcomes. We performed a multi-institutional retrospective and prospective study of 391 patients with CGD treated either conventionally (non-HCT) enrolled from 2004 to 2018 or with HCT from 1996 to 2018. Median follow-up after HCT was 3.7 years with a 3-year overall survival of 82% and event-free survival of 69%. In a multivariate analysis, a Lansky/Karnofsky score <90 and use of HLA-mismatched donors negatively affected survival. Age, genotype, and oxidase status did not affect outcomes. Before HCT, patients had higher infection density, higher frequency of noninfectious lung and liver diseases, and more steroid use than conventionally treated patients; however, these issues did not adversely affect HCT survival. Presence of pre-HCT inflammatory conditions was associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease. Graft failure or receipt of a second HCT occurred in 17.6% of the patients and was associated with melphalan-based conditioning and/or early mixed chimerism. At 3 to 5 years after HCT, patients had improved growth and nutrition, resolved infections and inflammatory disease, and lower rates of antimicrobial prophylaxis or corticosteroid use compared with both their baseline and those of conventionally treated patients. HCT leads to durable resolution of CGD symptoms and lowers the burden of the disease. Patients with active infection or inflammation are candidates for transplants; HCT should be considered before the development of comorbidities that could affect performance status. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02082353.

Diagnostic and management roles of FDG PET/CT imaging in post-transplant lympho-proliferation in pediatric heart transplantation.

BACKGROUND: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a serious complication of pediatric heart transplant (PHTx). 18F-FDG PET/CT has been used to differentiate early lympho-proliferation from more advanced PTLD. We report our experience with PET/CT in the management of PTLD following PHTx. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of 100 consecutive PHTx recipients at our institution between 2004 and 2018. Patients who underwent PET/CT or conventional CT scans to evaluate for PTLD or high Epstein-Barr viral load were included. RESULTS: Males, eight females. Median age at transplant was 3.5 months (IQR = 1.5-27.5). Median age at PTLD diagnosis was 13.3 years (IQR = 9.2-16.1). Median time between transplant and PTLD diagnosis was 9.5 (IQR = 4.5-15) years. Induction agents were used in 12 patients (50%): Thymoglobulin (N = 9), anti-IL2 (N = 2), and Rituximab (N = 1). Eighteen patients (75%) had PET/CT, of whom 14 had 18FDG-avid PTLD. Six had conventional CT. Nineteen patients (79.2%) had diagnostic biopsy confirmation of PTLD, and 5 (20.8%) had excisional biopsies. Two patients had Hodgkin's lymphoma; nine had monomorphic PTLD; eight had polymorphic PTLD; five were classified as other. Nine patients had monomorphic PTLD, including seven with diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLBC) and one with T cell lymphoma. The majority (16/24) had multi-site involvement at PTLD diagnosis, and PET/CT showed that 31.3% (5/16) had easily accessible subcutaneous nodes. Seventeen patients (overall survival 71%) underwent successful treatment without recurrence of PTLD. Of seven deaths (7/24, 29%), five had DLBC lymphoma, one had polymorphic PTLD and one had T-cell lymphoma. CONCLUSION: PET-CT allowed simultaneous anatomical and functional assessment of PTLD lesions, while guiding biopsy. In patients with multiple lesions, PET/CT revealed the most prominent and active lesions, improving diagnostic accuracy.

Prospective PTCTC trial of myeloablative haplo-BMT with posttransplant cyclophosphamide for pediatric acute leukemias.

Promising results have been reported for adult patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies undergoing haploidentical bone marrow transplant (haploBMT) with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). To our knowledge, we report results from the first multicenter trial for pediatric and young adult patients with high-risk acute leukemias and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in the Pediatric Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Consortium. Nine centers performed transplants in 32 patients having acute leukemias or MDS, with myeloablative conditioning (MAC), haploBMT with PTCy, mycophenolate mofetil, and tacrolimus. The median patient age was 12 years. Diagnoses included AML (15), ALL (11), mixed-lineage leukemia (1), and MDS (5). Transplant-related mortality (TRM) at 180 days was 0%. The cumulative incidence (CuI) of grade 2 acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) on day 100 was 13%. No patients developed grades 3-4 aGVHD. The CuI of moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD (cGVHD) at 1 year was 4%. Donor engraftment occurred in 27 patients (84%). Primary graft failures included 3 patients who received suboptimal bone marrow grafts; all successfully engrafted after second transplants. The CuI of relapse at 1 year was 32%, with more relapse among patients MRD positive pre-BMT vs MRD negative. Overall survival rates at 1 and 2 years were 77% and 73%, and event-free survival rate at 1 and 2 years were 68% and 64%. There was no TRM or severe aGVHD, low cGVHD, and favorable relapse and survival rates. This successful pilot trial has led to a phase 3 trial comparing MAC haploBMT vs HLA-matched unrelated donor BMT in the Children's Oncology Group. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02120157.

A diagnostic classifier for pediatric chronic graft-versus-host disease: results of the ABLE/PBMTC 1202 study.

The National Institutes of Health Consensus criteria for chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) diagnosis can be challenging to apply in children, making pediatric cGVHD diagnosis difficult. We aimed to identify diagnostic pediatric cGVHD biomarkers that would complement the current clinical criteria and help differentiate cGVHD from non-cGVHD. The Applied Biomarkers of Late Effects of Childhood Cancer (ABLE) study, open at 27 transplant centers, prospectively evaluated 302 pediatric patients after hematopoietic cell transplant (234 evaluable). Forty-four patients developed cGVHD. Mixed and fixed effect regression analyses were performed on diagnostic cGVHD onset blood samples for cellular and plasma biomarkers, with individual markers declared relevant if they met 3 criteria: an effect ratio ≥1.3 or ≤0.75; an area under the curve (AUC) of ≥0.60; and a P value <5.814 × 10-4 (Bonferroni correction) (mixed effect) or <.05 (fixed effect). To address the complexity of cGVHD diagnosis in children, we built a machine learning-based classifier that combined multiple cellular and plasma biomarkers with clinical factors. Decreases in regulatory natural killer cells, naïve CD4 T helper cells, and naïve regulatory T cells, and elevated levels of CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, ST2, ICAM-1, and soluble CD13 (sCD13) characterize the onset of cGVHD. Evaluation of the time dependence revealed that sCD13, ST2, and ICAM-1 levels varied with the timing of cGVHD onset. The cGVHD diagnostic classifier achieved an AUC of 0.89, with a positive predictive value of 82% and a negative predictive value of 80% for diagnosing cGVHD. Our polyomic approach to building a diagnostic classifier could help improve the diagnosis of cGVHD in children but requires validation in future prospective studies. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02067832.

Ibrutinib Treatment of Pediatric Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease: Primary Results from the Phase 1/2 iMAGINE Study.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a potentially life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Clinical data surrounding cGVHD therapies in younger children are limited and critically needed. Primary endpoints were to determine the recommended pediatric equivalent dose (RPED) and assess pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety. Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR; comprising complete response and partial response) according to the 2014 National Institutes of Health criteria at 24 weeks, overall survival, and duration of response (DOR). Here we present the primary results from the open-label, multicenter, international phase 1/2 iMAGINE study (PCYC-1146-IM), which evaluated the PK, safety, and efficacy of ibrutinib in patients age ≥1 to <22 years with treatment-naive (TN) or relapsed/refractory (R/R) moderate/severe cGVHD. Patients age <12 years received once-daily ibrutinib starting at 120 mg/m2 and escalating to 240 mg/m2 (full adult dose equivalent) after 14 days if free from ibrutinib-related grade ≥3 toxicity; patients age ≥12 years received once-daily ibrutinib 420 mg. Fifty-nine patients (12 TN and 47 with R/R cGVHD; median age, 13 years; range, 1 to 19 years) were enrolled. Plasma concentration-time profiles for ibrutinib 240 mg/m2 (the RPED) were comparable to those observed in adults with cGVHD at a dose of 420 mg/day. Safety was consistent with the known profile of ibrutinib in cGVHD. ORR by 24 weeks was 64% (38 of 59), including 83% (10 of 12) for the TN subgroup and 60% (28 of 47) for R/R. Among 46 responders (median follow-up, 20 months; range, 2 to 32 months), 12-month DOR for each subgroup was 60% (95% confidence interval [CI], 25% to 83%) in TN patients and 58% (95% CI, 35% to 75%) in R/R patients. Responses were durable, with numerically higher rates than those previously observed with ibrutinib in adults, demonstrating that ibrutinib provides clinically meaningful activity with acceptable safety in children with moderate/severe cGVHD.

Acute Left Ventricular Dysfunction Following Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin in Two Pediatric AML Patients.

Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) is an anti-CD33 antibody-tumor antibiotic conjugate with proven efficacy in pediatric and adult patients with CD33+ acute myeloid leukemia. Adverse effects commonly associated with GO include hyperbilirubinemia, elevated transaminases, and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. Cardiotoxicity has not been a commonly described adverse event. We describe 2 pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia who received fractionated GO monotherapy and subsequently developed severe acute left ventricular dysfunction. Both patients achieved remission, recovered cardiac function with medical therapy, and tolerated subsequent stem cell transplantation.

Early Recovery of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Transplant: Comparison of Post-Transplantation Cyclophosphamide to Standard Graft-Versus-Host Disease Prophylaxis.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) using haploidentical donors (haploHCT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for augmented graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis has emerged as a robust platform to expand donor options with acceptable levels of GVHD and graft failure. The mechanism by which PTCy mitigates GVHD risk is partly explained by preferential cytotoxicity based on aldehyde dehydrogenase levels and up-regulation of regulatory T cells, but is incompletely understood. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells are important mediators of T-cell function and are up-regulated by cyclophosphamide exposure. We hypothesized that this cell type may play a role in GVHD protection in children undergoing haploHCT/PTCy. We prospectively collected samples in the first month after alloHCT from children undergoing standard of care (SOC) alloHCT with matched donors and tacrolimus-based GVHD prophylaxis (N = 11) and PTCy recipients (N = 11). MDSC recovery was compared using flow cytometry, and MDSC suppressive function was assessed at the peak of MDSC quantitative recovery post-alloHCT. Groups were well matched for conditioning regimen and stem cell source. PTCy recipients exhibited more robust MDSC recovery, particularly polymorphonuclear-MDSCs than SOC recipients, with preservation of T-cell suppressive function. This corresponded to significantly lower incidence of Grade II to IV acute GVHD (9.1% versus 27.3%) and moderate/severe chronic GVHD (0% versus 27.3%) in PTCy recipients. Patients who developed GVHD had decreased MDSC-mediated T-cell suppression, as well as higher levels of IL-10, a cytokine closely linked to GVHD biology. Overall, these findings provide support for the role of MDSCs in mediating GVHD protection after PTCy-based haploHCT. © 2022 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

Molecular and phenotypic diversity of CBL-mutated juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia.

Mutations in the gene CBL were first identified in adults with various myeloid malignancies. Some patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) were also noted to harbor mutations in CBL, but were found to have generally less aggressive disease courses compared to other forms of Ras pathway-mutant JMML. Importantly, and in contrast to most reports in adults, the majority of CBL mutations in JMML patients are germline with acquired uniparental disomy occurring in affected marrow cells. Here, we systematically studied a large cohort of 33 JMML patients with CBL mutations and found this disease to be highly diverse in presentation and overall outcome. Moreover, we discovered somatically-acquired CBL mutations in 15% of pediatric patients who presented with more aggressive disease. Neither clinical features nor methylation profiling were able to distinguish somatic CBL patients from germline CBL patients, highlighting the need for germline testing. Overall, we demonstrate that disease courses are quite heterogeneous even among germline CBL patients. Prospective clinical trials are warranted to find ideal treatment strategies for this diverse cohort of patients.

Metabolomic identification of α-ketoglutaric acid elevation in pediatric chronic graft-versus-host disease.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is the most common cause for non-relapse mortality postallogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). However, there are no well-defined biomarkers for cGVHD or late acute GVHD (aGVHD). This study is a longitudinal evaluation of metabolomic patterns of cGVHD and late aGVHD in pediatric HSCT recipients. A quantitative analysis of plasma metabolites was performed on 222 evaluable pediatric subjects from the ABLE/PBMTC1202 study. We performed a risk-assignment analysis at day + 100 (D100) on subjects who later developed either cGVHD or late aGVHD after day 114 to non-cGVHD controls. A second analysis at diagnosis used fixed and mixed multiple regression to compare cGVHD at onset to time-matched non-cGVHD controls. A metabolomic biomarker was considered biologically relevant only if it met all 3 selection criteria: (1) P ≤ .05; (2) effect ratio of ≥1.3 or ≤0.75; and (3) receiver operator characteristic AUC ≥0.60. We found a consistent elevation in plasma α-ketoglutaric acid before (D100) and at the onset of cGVHD, not impacted by cGVHD severity, pubertal status, or previous aGVHD. In addition, late aGVHD had a unique metabolomic pattern at D100 compared with cGVHD. Additional metabolomic correlation patterns were seen with the clinical presentation of pulmonary, de novo, and progressive cGVHD. α-ketoglutaric acid emerged as the single most significant metabolite associated with cGVHD, both in the D100 risk-assignment and later diagnostic onset analysis. These distinctive metabolic patterns may lead to improved subclassification of cGVHD. Future validation of these exploratory results is needed. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02067832.

Effectiveness and Complication Rate of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Placement in Pediatric Oncology Patients.

PURPOSE: Malnutrition is a significant issue for pediatric patients with cancer. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness and complication rate of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement in pediatric oncology patients. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed on 49 pediatric oncology patients undergoing PEG placement at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital between 2000 and 2016. Demographic and clinical characteristics, complications, absolute neutrophil count at time of PEG placement and at time of complications, length of stay, and mortality were identified. Weight-for-age Z-scores were evaluated at time of- and six months post-PEG placement. RESULTS: The overall mean weight-for-age Z-score improved by 0.73 (p<0.0001) from pre- (-1.11) to post- (-0.38) PEG placement. Improvement in Z-score was seen in patients who were malnourished at time of PEG placement (1.14, p<0.0001), but not in those who were not malnourished (0.32, p=0.197). Site infections were seen in 12 (24%), buried bumper syndrome in five (10%), and tube dislodgement in one (2%) patient. One patient (2%) with fever was treated for possible peritonitis. There were no cases of other major complications, including gastric perforation, gastrocolic fistula, clinically significant bleeding, or PEG-related death documented. CONCLUSION: Consistent with previous studies, our data suggests a relationship between site complications (superficial wound infection, buried bumper syndrome) and neutropenia. Additionally, PEG placement appears to be an effective modality for improving nutritional status in malnourished pediatric oncology patients. However, larger prospective studies with appropriate controls and adjustment for potential confounders are warranted to confirm these findings.

Race as a factor in donor selection and survival of children with hematologic malignancies undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant in Florida.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have explored posthematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) outcomes by race in adults; however, pediatric data addressing this topic are scarce. PROCEDURE: This retrospective registry study included 238 White (W) and 57 Black (B) children with hematologic malignancies (HM) receiving first allogeneic HCT between 2010 and 2019 at one of the five Florida pediatric HCT centers. RESULTS: We found no differences between W and B children in transplant characteristics, other than donor type. There was a significant difference in use of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched donors (HLA-MMD) (53% W, 71% B, p = .01). When comparing HLA-MMD use to fully HLA-matched donors, B had relative risk (RR) of 1.47 (95% CI 0.7-3) of receiving a mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD), RR of 2.34 (95% CI 1.2-4.4) of receiving a mismatched related donor (MMRD), and RR of 1.9 (95% CI 0.99-3.6) of receiving a mismatched cord blood donor (MMCBD) HCT, respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of aGVHD (48% W, 35% B), p = .1, or cGVHD (19% W, 28% B, p = .1), or primary cause of death. Overall 24-month survival was 61% (95% CI 55%-68%) for W, and 60% (95% CI 48-75) for B children, log-rank p = .7. While HLA matching improved survival in W children, the number of B children receiving HLA-matched HCT was too small to identify the impact of HLA matching on survival. CONCLUSIONS: In this contemporary cohort of children with HM, we found that B children were more likely to receive HLA-MMD transplants, but this did not adversely affect survival or GVHD rates.

Donor characteristics and intraoperative total nucleated cell count influence hematopoietic progenitor cell yield of healthy donor bone marrow grafts.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow graft cell content impacts engraftment potential after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). Surrogates, such as intraoperative total nucleated cell count (ioTNC), are of unclear utility in predicting final graft characteristics. In addition, demographic and clinical factors may influence graft cellular profile and recipient engraftment. PROCEDURE: We retrospectively reviewed marrow harvests at our institution performed between 2009 and 2019. During this time, an ioTNC was measured after 50% of the projected final graft volume was collected. Regression models were used to assess associations between ioTNC (cells/µL) and final graft CD34+ (cells/mL), and between graft and donor characteristics and final graft CD34+ (cells/mL). RESULTS: Fifty-three marrow harvests and donor-recipient pairs were analyzed. Median (range) donor and recipient ages were 13 (0.7-28) years and 9 (0.2-21) years, respectively. The median ratio of donor/recipient weight was 1.225 kg (range 0.31-7.13). Median total volume of harvested marrow was 15.3 mL/kg (range 4.3-20.4) of donor weight and 19.4 mL/kg (range 4.7-87.4) of recipient weight. Median ioTNC was 20 930/µL (range 6600-44310) or 2.1 × 109 /mL, corresponding to median predicted final graft TNC of 3.59 × 108 /kg recipient weight (range 1.28-19.42 × 108 ). Simple linear regression between ioTNC and CD34+ cells/mL resulted in an R2 of 0.42. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression produced a moderately predictive model consisting of ioTNC, donor age, and donor weight (adjusted R2  = 0.7) of final graft CD34+ cells/mL. CONCLUSIONS: ioTNC and certain donor characteristics correlate moderately well with marrow product CD34+ cells/mL, potentially informing donor selection and marrow procurement strategies.

Infections in Infants with SCID: Isolation, Infection Screening, and Prophylaxis in PIDTC Centers.

PURPOSE: The Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) enrolled children with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in a prospective natural history study of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) outcomes over the last decade. Despite newborn screening (NBS) for SCID, infections occurred prior to HSCT. This study's objectives were to define the types and timing of infection prior to HSCT in patients diagnosed via NBS or by family history (FH) and to understand the breadth of strategies employed at PIDTC centers for infection prevention. METHODS: We analyzed retrospective data on infections and pre-transplant management in patients with SCID diagnosed by NBS and/or FH and treated with HSCT between 2010 and 2014. PIDTC centers were surveyed in 2018 to understand their practices and protocols for pre-HSCT management. RESULTS: Infections were more common in patients diagnosed via NBS (55%) versus those diagnosed via FH (19%) (p = 0.012). Outpatient versus inpatient management did not impact infections (47% vs 35%, respectively; p = 0.423). There was no consensus among PIDTC survey respondents as to the best setting (inpatient vs outpatient) for pre-HSCT management. While isolation practices varied, immunoglobulin replacement and antimicrobial prophylaxis were more uniformly implemented. CONCLUSION: Infants with SCID diagnosed due to FH had lower rates of infection and proceeded to HSCT more quickly than did those diagnosed via NBS. Pre-HSCT management practices were highly variable between centers, although uses of prophylaxis and immunoglobulin support were more consistent. This study demonstrates a critical need for development of evidence-based guidelines for the pre-HSCT management of infants with SCID following an abnormal NBS. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01186913.

Primary Graft Failure but Treatment Success: A Case of Reversion to Heterozygosity After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation With Autologous Hematopoietic Recovery in a Child With CBL-related Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia.

Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) typically requires allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with full donor chimerism for cure. Certain genetic subtypes, including JMML due to germline mutations in CBL, can have a more indolent course. We describe a young male patient with CBL-related JMML who experienced primary graft failure after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Despite autologous recovery, the resulting hematopoietic tissue did not harbor the original homozygous CBL mutations, due to reversion of prior loss of heterozygosity of the 11q chromosomal region. The patient remains disease free without further leukemia-directed therapy.

Case Report: Unmanipulated Matched Sibling Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation In TBX1 Congenital Athymia: A Lifesaving Therapeutic Approach When Facing a Systemic Viral Infection.

Congenital athymia can present with severe T cell lymphopenia (TCL) in the newborn period, which can be detected by decreased T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) on newborn screening (NBS). The most common thymic stromal defect causing selective TCL is 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS). T-box transcription factor 1 (TBX1), present on chromosome 22, is responsible for thymic epithelial development. Single variants in TBX1 causing haploinsufficiency cause a clinical syndrome that mimics 22q11.2DS. Definitive therapy for congenital athymia is allogeneic thymic transplantation. However, universal availability of such therapy is limited. We present a patient with early diagnosis of congenital athymia due to TBX1 haploinsufficiency. While evaluating for thymic transplantation, she developed Omenn Syndrome (OS) and life-threatening adenoviremia. Despite treatment with anti-virals and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), life threatening adenoviremia persisted. Given the imminent need for rapid establishment of T cell immunity and viral clearance, the patient underwent an unmanipulated matched sibling donor (MSD) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), ultimately achieving post-thymic donor-derived engraftment, viral clearance, and immune reconstitution. This case illustrates that because of the slower immune recovery that occurs following thymus transplantation and the restricted availability of thymus transplantation globally, clinicians may consider CTL therapy and HCT to treat congenital athymia patients with severe infections.

Pediatric HCT in Florida (2014 -2016): A report from the FPBCC.

FPBCC was formed in 2018 by five pediatric transplant programs in Florida. One of the key objectives of the consortium is to provide outcome analyses by combining HCT data from all the participating centers in order to identify areas for improvement. In this first FPBCC landscape report we describe the patient and transplant characteristics of pediatric patients undergoing first allo and auto HCT between 2014 and 2016 in Florida. The source of data was eDBtC of the CIBMTR. Over the span of 3 years, a total of 230 pediatric patients underwent allo-HCT and 104 underwent auto-HCT at the participating centers. The most significant predictor of survival in allo-HCT recipients with malignant disorders was the degree of HLA- match, while in the recipients of allo-HCT with non-malignant disorders the predictors of survival included age, donor relationship and degree of HLA match. Our analyses identified the need to improve reporting of primary cause of death and improve on donor selection process given that the degree of HLA match remains the most important predictor of survival. This first FPBCC-wide review describes the trends in pediatric HCT activity between 2014 and 2016 among the participating centers in Florida and confirms feasibility of using eDBtC data platform and collaborative approach in order to identify areas for improvement in outcomes.

Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Patients With Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRD): A Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) Survey.

Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRD) are an expanding group of diseases caused by gene defects in several different immune pathways, such as regulatory T cell function. Patients with PIRD develop clinical manifestations associated with diminished and exaggerated immune responses. Management of these patients is complicated; oftentimes immunosuppressive therapies are insufficient, and patients may require hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) for treatment. Analysis of HCT data in PIRD patients have previously focused on a single gene defect. This study surveyed transplanted patients with a phenotypic clinical picture consistent with PIRD treated in 33 Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium centers and European centers. Our data showed that PIRD patients often had immunodeficient and autoimmune features affecting multiple organ systems. Transplantation resulted in resolution of disease manifestations in more than half of the patients with an overall 5-years survival of 67%. This study, the first to encompass disorders across the PIRD spectrum, highlights the need for further research in PIRD management.
