Second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with inborn errors of immunity.

Graft failure (GF) remains a serious issue of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Second HSCT is the only salvage therapy for GF. There are no uniform strategies for the second HSCTs and limited data are available on the second HSCT outcomes.

Post-Transplantation Immunosuppression After TCRΑβ/CD19 Graft Depletion Does Not Improve HSCT Outcomes in Primary Immunodeficiency.

We recently demonstrated that TCRαβ+/CD19+ graft depletion successfully prevents severe acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in pediatric patients with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) receiving transplants from both matched unrelated and mismatched related donors. However, in all patients, short-term post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) immunosuppressive therapy (IST) was used. There are limited data on TCRαβ+/CD19+ graft depletion with no post-HSCT IST implementation.
