Article Abstract

The risk of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with haploidentical transplant with post-transplant high-dose cyclophosphamide may be lower compared with matched unrelated donor transplant and largely similar to matched related donor transplant. The lower probability of GVHD with the haploidentical donor may result in a risk of nonrelapse mortality that is at least similar to or even lower than the matched donor. The incidence of relapse and survival are also largely similar to different donor types. Haploidentical transplant may be associated with slower engraftment. Given a lower risk of GVHD, haploidentical transplant has gained popularity. Additionally, the use of post-transplant high-dose cyclophosphamide has been extended to lower the risk of GVHD with matched donor and mismatched unrelated donor transplant.

Plasmacytoid blast dendritic cell neoplasm is a rare subtype of acute leukaemia that represents less than 1% of haematologic neoplasms. It is characterised by skin involvement and leukaemic dissemination in the rest of the body. The immunophenotype is represented by the expression of CD4, CD56 and CD123.

Background: Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) are common prophylactic strategies for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Interleukin (IL)-6 is a surrogate marker for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and acute GVHD.

Method: The clinical outcomes and complications of haplo-HSCT with PTCy plus ATG versus PTCy monotherapy were compared according to serum IL-6 levels at Chungnam National University Hospital (Daejeon, South Korea) from January 2019 to February 2023.

Background: Recurrence of blood malignancy is the major cause of mortality after hematopoietic cell transplantation. NKG2 receptor/HLA-E ligand complexes play a fundamental role in the surveillance and elimination of transformed cells but their role in the control of leukemia in transplantation is unknown.

Objective: We tested the hypothesis that gene variation of patient and/or donor HLA-E ligand and donor NKG2C-NKG2A receptors are associated with the risks of relapse and mortality (primary endpoints) and GVHD and non-relapse mortality (secondary endpoints) after haploidentical transplantation.
