Outcomes of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in 5 Patients with Autosomal Recessive RIPK1-Deficiency.

Receptor Interacting Serine/Threonine Kinase 1 (RIPK1) is widely expressed and integral to inflammatory and cell death responses. Autosomal recessive RIPK1-deficiency, due to biallelic loss of function mutations in RIPK1, is a rare inborn error of immunity (IEI) resulting in uncontrolled necroptosis, apoptosis and inflammation. Although hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been suggested as a potential curative therapy, the extent to which disease may be driven by extra-hematopoietic effects of RIPK1-deficiency, which are non-amenable to HSCT, is not clear.

Outcomes of HLA-mismatched HSCT with TCRαβ/CD19 depletion or post-HSCT cyclophosphamide for inborn errors of immunity.

HLA-mismatched transplants with either in vitro depletion of CD3+ T-cell receptor (TCR)αβ/CD19 (TCRαβ) cells or in vivo T-cell depletion using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) have been increasingly used for patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEIs). We performed a retrospective multicenter study via the EBMT registry on 306 children with IEIs undergoing their first transplant between 2010 and 2019 from an HLA-mismatched donor using TCRαβ (n = 167) or PTCY (n = 139). The median age for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was 1.

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Mature T/NK-Cell Lymphomas in Children.

Mature T/NK-cell lymphomas (MTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders, relatively rare in adults and children. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can be considered in some cases as a consolidation and is the first choice for refractory forms and relapses. We retrospectively analyzed 19 pediatric patients with MTCL who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a haploidentical or unrelated donor on the αβ T cell depletion platform.

Novel hemizygous variant leads to combined immunodeficiency with defective platelet calcium signaling and cell mobility.

Background: To date, fewer than 20 patients have been identified as having germline biallelic mutations in the coronin-1A gene () and its protein with clinical features of combined immunodeficiency characterized by T-cell lymphopenia ranging from the severe phenotype to the mild phenotype, recurrent infections, and lymphoproliferative disorders. However, the effects of CORO1A protein disruption on actin-dependent functions in primary cells have not been fully delineated.

Objective: We sought to characterize the underlying defects of actin-dependent cellular functions in a female patient with combined immunodeficiency caused by a novel missense variant in the gene in combination with a heterozygous microdeletion of chromosome 16p11.

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Activity in Inborn Errors of Immunity in Russian Federation.

Purpose: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established therapy for many inborn errors of immunity (IEI). The indications for HSCT have expanded over the last decade. The study aimed to collect and analyze the data on HSCT activity in IEI in Russia.

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.

Targeted Therapy With Venetoclax and Daratumumab as Part of HSCT Preparative Regimen in Children With Chemorefractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

The long-term outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in chemorefractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains suboptimal because of a high relapse rate. Enhancement of conditioning regimens by the incorporation of targeted anti-leukemia agents is a potential approach to improve the efficacy of HSCT. In a pilot trial and extended access cohort, we evaluated the safety and potential value of adding combinations of venetoclax and daratumumab to a preparative regimen among children with chemorefractory acute myeloid leukemia grafted with αβ T-cell-depleted peripheral blood stem cells.

[Functional dyspepsia: a multifaceted problem in gastroenterology].

The article presents the views on dyspepsia in world practice, data on the difficulties of diagnosis and the problem of the effectiveness of various therapy regimens. Particular attention is paid to the use of fixed forms of drugs for functional dyspepsia, in particular Omez DSR.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for adolescents and adults with inborn errors of immunity: an EBMT IEWP study.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the gold standard curative therapy for infants and children with many inborn errors of immunity (IEI), but adolescents and adults with IEI are rarely referred for transplant. Lack of published HSCT outcome data outside small, single-center studies and perceived high risk of transplant-related mortality have delayed the adoption of HSCT for IEI patients presenting or developing significant organ damage later in life. This large retrospective, multicenter HSCT outcome study reports on 329 IEI patients (age range, 15-62.

Efficacy and safety of a reduced dose of plerixafor in combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in healthy haploidentical stem cell donors.

Background And Objectives: Implementation of the technique of immunomagnetic selection requires the procurement of a large number of CD34+ cells from haploidentical donors within a single apheresis procedure. The release of stem cells with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) alone is unsatisfactory in a number of donors, and plerixafor, a CXCR4 chemokine receptor antagonist, could be used as an additional mobilization agent. The aim of our study was to examine whether a lower dose of plerixafor (0.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome: an EBMT Inborn Errors Working Party analysis.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for patients affected by Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS). Reported HSCT outcomes have improved over time with respect to overall survival, but some studies have identified older age and HSCT from alternative donors as risk factors predicting poorer outcome. We analyzed 197 patients undergoing transplant at European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation centers between 2006 and 2017 who received conditioning as recommended by the Inborn Errors Working Party (IEWP): either busulfan (n = 103) or treosulfan (n = 94) combined with fludarabine ± thiotepa.

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.

Hematopoietic cell transplantation in severe combined immunodeficiency: The SCETIDE 2006-2014 European cohort.

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) represents a curative treatment for patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a group of monogenic immune disorders with an otherwise fatal outcome.

Objective: We performed a comprehensive multicenter analysis of genotype-specific HSCT outcome, including detailed analysis of immune reconstitution (IR) and the predictive value for clinical outcome.

Methods: HSCT outcome was studied in 338 patients with genetically confirmed SCID who underwent transplantation in 2006-2014 and who were registered in the SCETIDE registry.

Multicenter Experience of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in WHIM Syndrome.

Purpose: WHIM (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis) syndrome is a rare disease, caused by CXCR4 gene mutations, which incorporates features of combined immunodeficiency, congenital neutropenia, and a predisposition to human papillomavirus infection. Established conventional treatment for WHIM syndrome does not fully prevent infectious complications in these patients. Only single case reports of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) efficacy in WHIM have been published.

Efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib in ineffective erythropoiesis suppression as a pretransplantation treatment for pediatric patients with beta-thalassemia major.

Background: Ineffective erythropoiesis (IE) is the most prominent feature of transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (TDT), which leads to extramedullary hemopoiesis. The rejection rate in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is high in heavily transfused patients with TDT accompanied by prominent IE. Therefore, a pretransplantation treatment bridging to HSCT is often used to reduce allosensitization and IE.

Blinatumomab following haematopoietic stem cell transplantation - a novel approach for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in infants.

Blinatumomab with subsequent haematopoietic stem cell transplantation was applied in 13 infants with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Eight patients were treated in first remission due to slow clearance of minimal residual disease (MRD); one for MRD-reappearance after long MRD negativity, one for primary refractory disease and three during relapse treatment. In slow MRD responders, complete MRD response was achieved prior to transplantation, with an 18-month event-free survival of 75%.

Serotherapy-Free Regimen Improves Non-Relapse Mortality and Immune Recovery Among the Recipients of αβ TCell-Depleted Haploidentical Grafts: Retrospective Study in Childhood Leukemia.

Depletion of αβ T cells from the graft prevents graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and improves the outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from haploidentical donors. Delayed recovery of adaptive immunity remains a problem, which can be approached by adoptive T-cell transfer. In a randomized trial, we have assessed the safety and efficacy of low-dose memory (CD45RA-depleted) donor lymphocytes (mDLI) after HSCT with αβ T-cell depletion.

Safety and efficacy of the low-dose memory (CD45RA-depleted) donor lymphocyte infusion in recipients of αβ T cell-depleted haploidentical grafts: results of a prospective randomized trial in high-risk childhood leukemia.

Depletion of αβ T cells from the graft prevents graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) and improves outcome of HSCT from haploidentical donors. In a randomized trial, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low-dose memory (CD45RA-depleted) donor lymphocytes (mDLI) after HSCT with αβ T-cell depletion.

T-cell tracking, safety, and effect of low-dose donor memory T-cell infusions after αβ T cell-depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The delayed recovery of adaptive immunity underlies transplant-related mortality (TRM) after αβ T cell-depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We tested the use of low-dose memory donor lymphocyte infusions (mDLIs) after engraftment of αβ T cell-depleted grafts.A cohort of 131 pediatric patients (median age 9 years) were grafted with αβ T cell-depleted products from either haplo (n = 79) or unrelated donors (n = 52).

SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma therapy in pediatric patient after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Immunocompromised patients, including HSCT recipients, may have a poor prognosis after contracting COVID-19 due to the absence of a pathogen-specific adaptive immune response. One of the possible options for severe COVID-19 treatment may be the transfusion of hyperimmune SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma. A 9-month-old girl with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia received an HSCT from a haploidentical donor.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Positively Affects the Natural History of Cancer in Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome.

Purpose: Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a DNA repair disorder with a high predisposition to hematologic malignancies.

Experimental Design: We describe the natural history of NBS, including cancer incidence, risk of death, and the potential effectiveness of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in preventing both pathologies: malignancy and immunodeficiency.

Results: Among 241 patients with NBS enrolled in the study from 11 countries, 151 (63.

Primary Immunodeficiencies in Russia: Data From the National Registry.

Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) are a group of rare genetic disorders with a multitude of clinical symptoms. Characterization of epidemiological and clinical data via national registries has proven to be a valuable tool of studying these diseases. The Russian PID registry was set up in 2017, by the National Association of Experts in PID (NAEPID).

Hematopoietic cell transplantation in chronic granulomatous disease: a study of 712 children and adults.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency resulting in life-threatening infections and inflammatory complications. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) can cure the disease, but the indication to transplant remains controversial. We performed a retrospective multicenter study of 712 patients with CGD who underwent allo-HCT transplantation from March 1993 through December 2018.
