Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of TECAM (thiotepa, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and melphalan) and BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) conditioning regimens before autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant in patients with lymphoma.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 108 relapsed/refractory lymphoma patients who had high-dose treatments followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant between October 2012 and February 2017.
Results: At a median follow-up period of 16 months, the estimated 2-year progression-free survival rates for the TECAM and BEAM groups were 55.7% and 52.9%, respectively (P = .811). The estimated 2-year overall survival rate in the TECAM group (55.9%) was relatively inferior to that shown in the BEAM group (67%), but the differences were not significant (P = .238). No differences were observed for time to hematopoietic recovery and duration of hospitalization. Incidences of transplant-related infectious and noninfectious complications were similar for each conditioning regimen.
Conclusions: Our experience shows that the TECAM regimen is an effective high-dose chemotherapy for lymphoma patients before autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Non-selective b adrenergic receptor inhibitors impair hematopoietic regeneration in mice and humans after hematopoietic cell transplants.

Peripheral nerves promote mouse bone marrow regeneration by activating b2 and b3 adrenergic receptor signaling, raising the possibility that non-selective b blockers could inhibit engraftment after hematopoietic cell transplants (HCTs). We observed no effect of b blockers on steady-state mouse hematopoiesis. However, mice treated with a non-selective b blocker (carvedilol), but not a b1-selective inhibitor (metoprolol), exhibited impaired hematopoietic regeneration after syngeneic or allogeneic HCTs.

Introduction: CAR-T therapy has transformed the treatment landscape for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL).
Areas Covered: This article reviews the existing evidence for using CAR-T therapy as a second-line treatment. Two major phase 3 trials, ZUMA-7 and TRANSFORM, have shown that axi-cel and liso-cel, respectively, offer superior outcomes compared to historical standard chemoimmunotherapy and consolidation with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT).

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is less common in autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) recipients than in allogeneic SCT recipients. However, some cases of severe GVHD, especially involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, have been documented. We present a patient with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) exhibiting severe GI-GVHD after ASCT with busulfan/thiotepa conditioning.

Autosomal recessively inherited variants in the JAGN1 gene lead to congenital neutropenia, early-onset bacterial infections, aphthosis and skin abscesses due to aberrant differentiation and maturation of neutrophils. In addition, bone metabolism disorders and a syndromic phenotype, including facial features, short stature and neurodevelopmental delay, have been reported in affected patients.

This retrospective study aimed to stress the advantages of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in treating primary MM. Ninety-four MM patients who underwent initial parallel sequential auto-HSCT were selected. Data on efficacy (efficacy evaluation, renal function and hemoglobin recovery), immune reconstitution (B-cell subsets, immunoglobulin levels, T-cell subsets, NK cells, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR)) and hematopoietic reconstitution times were collected and analyzed.
