Daratumumab treatment in six highly sensitised solid organ transplant recipients: A case series and literature review.

We report data on six kidney or heart recipients who were administered daratumumab to treat or prevent antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). To date, data are scarce concerning the use of daratumumab in solid organ transplantation and most reports show a decrease in donor-specific antigen (DSA) levels and an improvement in ABMR using a multiple myeloma daratumumab administration scheme, that is, with sequential systematic administration. Here, we report on the efficacy of daratumumab 1/ in reducing the histological signs of ABMR, 2/ in reducing the ability of DSA to bind to donor cells in vitro through negativation of flow cytometry crossmatching, 3/ in preferentially being directed towards antibodies sharing epitopes, suggesting that daratumumab may specifically target activated plasma cells, 4/ and when administered as a single dose.

[Update for cord blood unit selection in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (workshop SFGM-TC)].

Changing practices and the limited use of cord blood units as a source of cells for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSC) led us to reconsider the recommendations established in 2011 and 2012, and to propose an update incorporating recent bibliographic data. If HLA compatibility was until now established at low resolution for HLA-A and B loci, and at high resolution for HLA-DRB1, the recent papers are converging towards an increase in the level of resolution, making way for a compatibility now defined in high resolution for all the considered loci, and the inclusion of the HLA-C locus, in order to establish a level of HLA compatibility on 8 alleles (HLA-A, B, C and DRB1). The CD34+ dose is a determining factor in hematopoietic reconstitution but it is not correlated with the total nucleated cells content.
