[Mobilization and conditioning protocols actualization for autologous stem cell transplantation for autoimmune diseases: Guidelines from MATHEC-SFGM-TC]. / Actualisation des protocoles de mobilisation et conditionnement pour la pratique des autogreffes de cellules souches hématopoïétiques chez les patients atteints de maladies auto-immunes : recommandations de la Société francophone de greffe de moelle et de thérapie cellulaire (MATHEC-SFGM-TC).

The Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) organized the 13th workshop on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation clinical practices harmonization procedures in September 2022 in Lille, France. The aim of this workshop is to update the mobilization and conditioning protocols for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for autoimmune diseases, and to specify contraindications for transplant, conditioning regimen selection, immunosuppressive treatment discontinuation before mobilization and disease-specific surveillance.

[Crohn's disease and autologous hemapoietic cell transplantation: Guidelines from the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC)]. / Indications de l'autogreffe de cellules hématopoïétiques dans la Maladie de Crohn : recommandations de la Société francophone de greffe de moelle et de thérapie cellulaire.

Crohn's Disease (CD) is an auto-inflammatory disease, which may involve the entire gastro-intestinal tract. CD is diagnosed on several clinical, biological, endoscopic and histological criteria. First line therapy is based on oral or iv steroids. In case of steroids dependence or resistance, several types of immunosuppressive or immunomodulating therapies are available: classical antimetabolites (thiopurines or methotrexate) or monoclonal antibodies against TNFα, against interleukin 12/23 or against integrin. Nonetheless, Crohn's disease may remain active despite the use of several lines of therapy. In such cases, autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is an effective therapeutic option in highly selected CD patients with specific criteria. The MATHEC-SFGM-TC Good Clinical Practice Guidelines (GCPG) were developed by a multidisciplinary group of experts including gastroenterologists, hematologists and members of the reference center for stem cell therapy in auto-immune diseases (MATHEC), including members of the French groupe d'étude thérapeutique des affections inflammatoires du tube digestif(GETAID) under the auspices of the French speaking Society of bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy (SFGM-TC). The aim of the present guidelines is to define the eligibility criteria for CD patients when candidates to AHCT, the procedures for mobilization of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), conditioning regimen and standardized follow-up after AHCT including monitoring of gastroenterological treatments during AHCT and thereafter throughout all follow-up.
