  • Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants (allo-HSCT) come with significant benefits but also carry risks like graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) during preconditioning and after the procedure.* -
  • Effective risk management and early detection of GVHD rely on clinical features, highlighting the need for tools that can identify and manage patients proactively.* -
  • This review focuses on the promise of proteomics-based biomarkers from non-invasive samples to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies for acute and chronic GVHD in patients undergoing allo-HSCT.*

Article Abstract

Despite the numerous advantages of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants (allo-HSCT), there exists a notable association with risks, particularly during the preconditioning period and predominantly post-intervention, exemplified by the occurrence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Risk stratification prior to symptom manifestation, along with precise diagnosis and prognosis, relies heavily on clinical features. A critical imperative is the development of tools capable of early identification and effective management of patients undergoing allo-HSCT. A promising avenue in this pursuit is the utilization of proteomics-based biomarkers obtained from non-invasive biospecimens. This review comprehensively outlines the application of proteomics and proteomics-based biomarkers in GVHD patients. It delves into both single protein markers and protein panels, offering insights into their relevance in acute and chronic GVHD. Furthermore, the review provides a detailed examination of the site-specific involvement of GVHD. In summary, this article explores the potential of proteomics as a tool for timely and accurate intervention in the context of GVHD following allo-HSCT.

Here we report results of a phase 1 multi-institutional, open-label, dose-escalation trial (NCT02744287) of BPX-601, an investigational autologous PSCA-directed GoCAR-T® cell product containing an inducible MyD88/CD40 ON-switch responsive to the activating dimerizer rimiducid, in patients with metastatic pancreatic (mPDAC) or castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Primary objectives were to evaluate safety and tolerability and determine the recommended phase 2 dose/schedule (RP2D). Secondary objectives included the assessment of efficacy and characterization of the pharmacokinetics of rimiducid.

Introduction: Posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has revolutionized the landscape of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT), providing a pivotal therapeutic option for patients with hematological malignancies who lack an HLA-matched donor.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis involving 54 adult patients undergoing PTCy-based haplo-HCT, we evaluated the impact of inhibitory killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)/HLA mismatch, alongside patient, donor, and transplant factors, on clinical outcomes within a homogeneous cohort characterized by a myeloablative conditioning regimen and bone marrow graft.

Results: With a median follow-up of 73.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is recommended for patients with KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) leukemia whereas relapse remains high. We aimed to determine whether intensified conditioning containing decitabine (Dec) could reduce relapse compared with standard myeloablative conditioning in adult patients with KMT2A-r leukemia.

Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective study at seven institutions in China.

Although graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, it is rare after solid organ transplantation (SOT) or blood transfusion. We present a rare case of SOT-derived and/or transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GVHD) in a 66-year-old man with interstitial lung disease who underwent bilateral lung transplantation (LT) from a 12-year-old female donor and required three units of packed red blood cells intraoperatively. He presented with signs and symptoms consistent with GVHD, and a bone marrow biopsy revealed an XX karyotype.

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients often receive consecutive intensive chemotherapy, which can lead to gastrointestinal complications and acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), placing patients at high nutritional risk.

Aim: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the benefits of nutritional support in maintaining nutritional status, reducing weight loss without increasing the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) or liver dysfunction, and improving clinical outcomes in HSCT patients at high nutritional risk.

Methods: A total of 526 patients who underwent HSCT were included in the study.
