RESUMO

In the setting of a learning collaborative, we conducted an international multicenter phase 2 clinical trial testing the hypothesis that non-myeloablative related haploidentical BMT with thiotepa and post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) will result in 2-year event-free survival (no graft failure or death) of at least 80%. A total of 70 participants (median age 19.1 (IQR 14.1 - 25.0) were evaluable based on the conditioning protocol. Graft failure occurred in 11.4% (8/70) and only in participants <18 years (p=0.001); all had autologous reconstitution. After a median follow-up of 2.4 years (IQR 1.5-3.9), the 2-year Kaplan-Meier-based probability of event-free survival was 82.6% (95% CI 71.4%-89.7%). The 2-year overall survival was 94.1% (95% CI 84.9%-97.7%) with no difference between the child and adult participants (p=0.889). After excluding participants with graft failure (n=8), participants with engraftment had median whole blood donor chimerism values at D+180 and D+365 post-transplant of 100.0% (IQR 99.8 - 100.0%; n=59) and 100.0% (IQR 100.0 - 100.0%; n=58), respectively, and 96.6% (57/59) were off immunosuppression at 1-year post-transplant. The 1-year grades III-IV acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) rate was 10.0% (95% CI 4.6 - 18.6%), and the 2-year moderate-severe chronic GvHD rate was 10.0% (95% CI 4.6 - 18.6%). Five participants (7.1%) died from infectious complications. We demonstrate that non-myeloablative haploidentical BMT with thiotepa and PTCy is a readily available curative therapy for most adults, even those with organ damage, instead of the more expensive myeloablative gene therapy and gene editing. Additional strategies are required for children to decrease graft failure rates (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01850108).

RESUMO

The choice of alternative donors for HCT for patients without an HLA-matched related donor depends on several factors. We compared major HCT outcomes in 212 consecutive children transplanted at 11 centers in Brazil for acute leukemia or MDS from an HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD, n = 95), mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD, n = 47) or unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB, n = 70). Most had ALL (61%), bone marrow (57%) as the graft source and 95% received a MAC regimen. The 3-year OS probability were 57, 55, and 37% after HCT from MUD, MMUD, and UCB, respectively (HR 1.68, 95%CI 1.07-2.63; P = .02). In comparison with MUD, OS was similar after transplantation of a ≥ 6/8 HLA-matched or a high cell dose (>5 × 107 TNC/kg) CB unit (HR 1.41, 95%CI 0.88-2.27; P = .15). NRM was higher for UCB (HR 3.90, 95%CI 1.43-10.7; P = .01) but not for MMUD (HR 1.03, 95%CI 0.53-2.00; P > .20). Advanced disease (HR 2.05, 95%CI 1.26-3.33; P < .001) and UCB with high probability of being < 6/8 HLA-matched (HR 5.34, 95%CI 2.0-13.9; P < .001) were associated with higher mortality. Relapse and acute GVHD were similar among groups, while PGF was higher among UCB transplants (P = .002) and chronic GVHD among MMUD group (HR 2.88, 95% CI 1.05-7.88; P = .04). Our results suggest that in Brazil HCT outcomes performed with MMUD and MUD donors were comparable, while with UCB units < 6/8 HLA-matched were associated with higher NRM for children with acute leukemia or MDS.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Background: Peripheral blood stem cell concentrations are traditionally adjusted to 20-40 × 106 leukocytes/mL prior to freezing. This low cell concentration at cryopreservation implies larger volumes with more dimethyl sulfoxide being used, and higher cost and toxicity at the time of transplant. Higher cell concentrations have been reported but this is not widely accepted. Moreover, the influence of cell concentration on engraftment has not been well documented. Therefore, this study retrospectively analyzed the influence of peripheral blood stem cell concentration at freezing on engraftment after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Method: Leukapheresis products were plasma-depleted and cryopreserved with 5% dimethyl sulfoxide, 6% hydroxyethylamide solution and 4% albumin in a −80 °C freezer. Individual patient data from hospital records were reviewed. Results: Fifty consecutive patients with oncological diseases underwent 88 leukaphereses. Median age was six years (range: 1-32 years) and median weight was 19 kg (range: 8-94 kg). Median leukocyte concentration was 109 × 106/mL at collection and 359 × 106 (range: 58-676 × 106) at freezing with 78% viability (range: 53-95%); leukocyte recovery after thawing was 95% (range: 70-100%). In multivariate analysis, cell concentration (p-value = 0.001) had a negative impact on engraftment. Patients infused with bags frozen with <200 × 106 leukocytes/mL engrafted after a median of nine days (range: 8-12 days), 200-400 × 106 leukocytes/mL after 11 days (range: 9-20 days); 400-600 × 106 leukocytes/mL after 12 days (range: 8-19 days) and with cell concentrations >600 × 106 leukocytes/mL, engraftment was after 14 days (range: 13-22 days). Conclusion: In patients with adequate CD34 cell collections, total leukocyte concentrations of 282 × 106/mL, freezing with 5% dimethyl sulfoxide and 6% hydroxyethylamide solution without a controlled-rate freezer, and storing cells at −80 ºC yielded excellent engraftment. Further increases in cell concentration may delay engraftment, without affecting safety.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Revaccination after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is necessary to compensate for the loss of immunological memory. The aims of this study were to evaluate the adherence to revaccination schedule and the humoral immune response to different vaccine antigens in HSCT pediatric and young adult patients. METHODS: Patients submitted to HSCT for over 3 years were recruited. After written informed consent, a questionnaire was filled in, the vaccination card was analyzed, a blood sample was collected and tested by ELISA for diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus, measles, rubella, and varicella antibodies. RESULTS: Sixty-three patients (mean age at HSCT, 10.7 years) were evaluated. Forty-one (65%) were male; 34 (54%) had allogeneic and 29 (46%), autologous HSCT. Complete adherence to diphtheria revaccination was found in 79.4% patients and seropositivity was found in 92% of those who completed the revaccination schedule; for Hib, 68.3% adherence and 95.3% seropositivity were observed; for hepatitis A, 63.5% adherence and 92.5% seropositivity; for 3 doses of hepatitis B, 86.8% adherence and 79.2% seropositivity; for tetanus, 79.4% adherence and 100% seropositivity; for measles and rubella, 17.5% adherence and 100% seropositivity; for varicella, 7.9% adherence and 100% seropositivity. The existence of a Vaccination Center for Special Immunobiologicals in patients' municipality was positively associated with completed vaccine schedule; on the other hand, chronic GVHD was negatively associated with revaccination adherence. CONCLUSION: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients showed good seropositivity rates after complete vaccination schedule. However, a low coverage rate was observed for live attenuated antigens.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND DATA: Studies suggest that intraoral low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can ameliorate oral mucositis in adult patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of a combined protocol of intraoral and extraoral LLLT in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS: Twelve children undergoing HSCT were treated four times a week with a combined protocol of intraoral and extraoral LLLT, for a mean duration of 22 days. Clinical and functional mucositis scores were assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE). These scores were compared with a matched retrospective control group of 12 children who did not receive LLLT during HSCT. RESULTS: Clinical mucositis scores were significantly lower in the LLLT group than in the control group (p = 0.004). Incidence of ulcerative oral mucositis was also significantly lower in the LLLT group (p = 0.027). Functional limitation associated with diet/swallowing was less severe in the LLLT group; however, this was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that a combined protocol of intraoral and extraoral application of LLLT can reduce the severity of oral mucositis in pediatric patients undergoing HSCT. Randomized double-blind clinical trials with a larger number of subjects are needed to further test such combined protocols.

RESUMO

A Sociedade Brasileira de Transplante de Medula (SBTMO) promoveu o I Encontro de Diretrizes do Transplante de Medula Óssea em 2009. Para revisão das indicações de transplante em Pediatria baseadas em evidências foi constituído grupo de trabalho com oncologistas e hematologistas com experiência em pediatria. Os artigos científicos foram cuidadosamente avaliados e, para cada doença, foram definidas as evidências para recomendação dos transplantes (de A a C) e a qualidade destas evidências (de 1 a 3). As recomendações incluem doenças hematológicas malignas e não malignas, tumores sólidos, imunodeficiências e doenças de depósito tratadas com transplantes de células-tronco hematopoéticas, quer autólogos, alogênicos de irmão HLA compatível ou não aparentados (doadores adultos ou sangue de cordão umbilical). Como não existem recomendações uniformemente aceitas em pediatria, não foram incluídas recomendações para transplantes de intensidade reduzida, com manipulação do enxerto e nem parcialmente compatíveis. É importante ressaltar que todas as indicações são baseadas no conhecimento atual e podem modificar-se com o tempo. Assim, esta revisão não deve ser utilizada para aplicação direta no cuidado do paciente sem levar em conta características da doença, do doador e fatores de risco do próprio paciente. Este trabalho não deve ainda ser utilizado como documento que limite o acesso do paciente ao transplante adequadamente indicado. Ressaltamos ainda, nesta revisão, diferenças entre transplantes em crianças e em adultos, com algumas recomendações específicas para os transplantes em pediatria.


The Brazilian Bone Marrow Transplant Society (SBTMO) held its First Meeting on Bone Marrow Transplant Guidelines in 2009. A working group of hematologists and oncologists with experience in pediatrics was formed to review evidence-based indications for pediatric transplants. Scientific publications were carefully assessed and, for each disease, the evidence for recommendation (from A to C) and the quality of the evidence (from 1 to 3) were defined. The recommendations include malignant and non-malignant hematological diseases, solid tumors, immunodeficiency, and storage diseases treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplants: either autologous or allogeneic from matched sibling donors or unrelated donors (adults or umbilical cord blood). Guidelines for reduced-intensity transplants, manipulated grafts or partially compatible donors were not included as there are no uniformly accepted recommendations. All indications are based on the best current knowledge which may change over time. Thus, this review should not be directly applied to patient care without taking into account the disease, donor and patient characteristics. Additionally, this paper should not be used as a document to limit patient access to transplant if correctly indicated. In this review we also point out differences between transplantation in adults and children and make some specific recommendations for pediatric transplants.
