AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
We analyzed the disease-specific outcomes of adult ALL treated with cord blood transplantation (CBT) after myeloablative conditioning. Between October 2000 and November 2007, 27 adult patients with ALL were treated with unrelated CBT. All patients received four fractionated 12 Gy TBI and chemotherapy as myeloablative conditioning. The median age was 36 years, the median weight was 57 kg and the median number of nucleated cells was 2.47 x 10(7)/kg. All patients received a single and HLA-mismatched cord blood unit. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil recovery at day 30 and platelet recovery at day 200 was 92.6 and 92.3%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 47 months, the probability of EFS at 5 years was 57.2%. The 5-year cumulative incidence of TRM and relapse was 3.7 and 27.4%, respectively. These results suggest that unrelated CBT after myeloablative conditioning could be safely and effectively used for adult patients with ALL.

The role of fat-soluble vitamins for graft-versus host disease after myeloablative conditioning in allogeneic stem cell transplanted patients.

Whether the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are associated with development of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, is unclear. We assessed if the levels of these vitamins were associated with development of GvHD during the first year after transplantation using data from a two-armed randomized nutritional intervention trial. Changes in plasma levels during 1-year follow-up were analyzed using a linear mixed model for repeated measurements.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a curative therapy limited by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In preclinical studies and early-phase clinical studies enrichment of donor regulatory T cells (Tregs) appears to prevent GVHD and promote healthy immunity.We enrolled 44 patients on an open-label, single-center, phase 2 efficacy study investigating if a precision selected and highly purified Treg cell therapy manufactured from donor mobilized peripheral blood improves one-year GVHD-free relapse free survival (GRFS) after myeloablative conditioning (trial NCT01660607).

With advances in conditioning strategies and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prevention, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a safe, curative treatment option for pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). However, donor options have been limited in non-myeloablative matched sibling donor (MSD) setting by excluding recipients with major ABO blood group incompatible donors due to concern of the risk of significant complications such as pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). We present three cases of successful HSCT with major ABO incompatibility with their donors, and discuss strategies to safely expand the donor pool to include these donors.

This study enrolled five patients with classic paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (cPNH) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in our hospital from 2019 to 2023. All five patients were male, with a median age of 26 (range: 26-46) years. The median time from diagnosis to allo-HSCT was 5.

Multiple factors have been described to influence the risk of acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD or cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), including underlying chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and high-dose total body irradiation (TBI). However, the impact of the underlying disease or low-dose TBI on the risk of GVHD in the modern era has not been determined. To determine risk factors for GVHD in the modern era in the setting of antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based GVHD prophylaxis.
