HLA-haploidentical TCRαβ+/CD19+-depleted stem cell transplantation in children and young adults with Fanconi anemia.

ABSTRACT: We report on the outcome of 24 patients with Fanconi anemia (FA) lacking an HLA matched related or unrelated donor, given an HLA-haploidentical T-cell receptor αβ (TCRαβ+) and CD19+ cell-depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in the context of a prospective, single-center phase 2 trial. Sustained primary engraftment was achieved in 22 (91.6%) of 24 patients, with median time to neutrophil recovery of 12 days (range, 9-15 days) and platelet recovery of 10 days (range, 7-14 days). Cumulative incidences of grade 1 to 2 acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and chronic GVHD were 17.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.5%-35.5%) and 5.5% (95% CI, 0.8%-33.4%), respectively. The conditioning regimen, which included fludarabine, low-dose cyclophosphamide and, in most patients, single-dose irradiation was well tolerated; no fatal transplant-related toxicity was observed. With a median follow-up of 5.2 years (range, 0.3-8.7 years), the overall and event-free survival probabilities were 100% and 86.3% (95% CI, 62.8%-95.4%), respectively (2 graft failures and 1 case of poor graft function were considered as events). The 2 patients who experienced primary graft failure underwent a subsequent successful HSCT from the other parent. This is the first report of FA patients given TCRαβ+/CD19+-depleted haplo-HSCT in the context of a prospective trial, and the largest series of T-cell-depleted haplo-HSCT in FA reported to date. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01810120.

Project description:BackgroundT-cell depleted (TCD) haploidentical transplantation using CD3+/CD19+ and TCRαβ+/CD19+ depletion techniques has been increasingly used in children with hematological malignancies. We present a retrospective study aimed to compare transplant outcomes in children with leukemia receiving a TCD haploidentical transplant using either CD3+/CD19+ or TCRαβ+/CD19+ platforms.MethodsA total of 159 children with leukemia (ALL=80) (AML=79) that received a TCD haploidentical transplantation using either CD3+/CD19+ (n=79) or TCRαβ+/CD19+ (n=80) platforms between 2005 and 2020 were included. Median age was 9 years in both groups. There were no differences in patient, donor, and transplant characteristics between groups except for donor KIR B genotype more frequent in the TCRαβ+/CD19+ group (91%) than in the CD3+/CD19+ group (76%) (p=0.009) and a high number of NK+ cells and lower CD19+ cells infused in the TCRαβ+/CD19+ group (35.32x106/kg and 0.06 x106/Kg) than in the CD3+/CD19 group (24.6x106/Kg and 0.25 x106/Kg) (p=0.04 and p=0.0001), respectively. Conditioning was based on TBF. Median follow-up for survivors was 11 years (range; 8-16 y) in CD3+/CD19+ group and 5 years (range; 2-9 y) in the TCRαβ+/CD19+ group.ResultsEngraftment kinetics were similar in both groups (13 days for neutrophils and 10 days for platelets). There was no difference in the incidence of acute GvHD II-IV (29 ± 5% in the CD3+/CD19+ group vs 38 ± 5% in the TCRαβ+/CD19+ group) and chronic GvHD (32 ± 5% vs 23 ± 4%, respectively). NRM was 23 ± 5% in the CD3+/CD19+group vs 21 ± 4% in the TCRαβ+/CD19+group. Relapse incidence was also similar, 32 ± 5% vs 34 ± 6%, respectively. DFS and OS were not different (45 ± 5% vs 45 ± 6% and 53 ± 6% vs 58 ± 6% respectively). As there were no differences on transplant outcomes between groups, we further analyzed all patients together for risk factors associated with transplant outcomes. On multivariate analysis, we identified that early disease status at transplant (HR: 0.16; 95%CI (0.07-0.35) (p=0.0001), presence of cGvHD (HR: 0.38; 95%CI (0.20-0.70) (p= 0.002), and donor KIR-B genotype (HR: 0.50; 95%CI (0.32-0.90) (p=0.04) were associated with better DFS.ConclusionsOur data suggest that there are no advantages in transplant outcomes between TCD platforms. Risk factors for survival are dependent on disease characteristic, donor KIR genotype, and chronic GvHD rather than the TCD platform used.

Project description:TcRαβ/CD19-cell depleted HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) represents a promising new platform for children affected by acute leukemia in need of an allograft and lacking a matched donor, disease recurrence being the main cause of treatment failure. The use of zoledronic acid to enhance TcRγδ+ lymphocyte function after TcRαβ/CD19-cell depleted haplo-HSCT was tested in an open-label, feasibility, proof-of-principle study. Forty-six children affected by high-risk acute leukemia underwent haplo-HSCT after removal of TcRαβ+ and CD19+ B lymphocytes. No post-transplant pharmacological graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis was given. Zoledronic acid was administered monthly at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg/dose (maximum dose 4 mg), starting from day +20 after transplantation. A total of 139 infusions were administered, with a mean of 3 infusions per patient. No severe adverse event was observed. Common side effects were represented by asymptomatic hypocalcemia and acute phase reactions (including fever, chills, malaise, and/or arthralgia) within 24-48 h from zoledronic acid infusion. The cumulative incidence of acute and chronic GvHD was 17.3% (all grade I-II) and 4.8% (all limited), respectively. Patients given 3 or more infusions of zoledronic acid had a lower incidence of both acute GvHD (8.8 vs. 41.6%, p = 0.015) and chronic GvHD (0 vs. 22.2%, p = 0.006). Transplant-related mortality (TRM) and relapse incidence at 3 years were 4.3 and 30.4%, respectively. Patients receiving repeated infusions of zoledronic acid had a lower TRM as compared to those receiving 1 or 2 administration of the drug (0 vs. 16.7%, p = 0.01). Five-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) for the whole cohort were 67.2 and 65.2%, respectively, with a trend toward a better OS for patients receiving 3 or more infusions (73.1 vs. 50.0%, p = 0.05). The probability of GvHD/relapse-free survival was significantly worse in patients receiving 1-2 infusions of zoledonic acid than in those given ≥3 infusions (33.3 vs. 70.6%, respectively, p = 0.006). Multivariable analysis showed an independent positive effect on outcome given by repeated infusions of zoledronic acid (HR 0.27, p = 0.03). These data indicate that the use of zoledronic acid after TcRαβ/CD19-cell depleted haploHSCT is safe and may result in a lower incidence of acute GvHD, chronic GvHD, and TRM.

Project description:Composite endpoints that not only encompass mortality and relapse, but other critical post-transplant events such as graft-versus-host disease, are being increasingly utilized to quantify survival without significant morbidity after allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation. High-dose, post-transplantation cyclophosphamide reduces severe graft-versus-host disease with allogeneic marrow transplantation, making composite endpoints after this management particularly interesting. We retrospectively analyzed 684 adults with hematologic malignancies who received T-cell-replete bone marrow grafts and cyclophosphamide after myeloablative HLA-matched related (n=192) or unrelated (n=120), or non-myeloablative HLA-haploidentical (n=372) donor transplantation. The median follow up was 4 (range, 0.02-11.4) years. Graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival was defined as the time after transplantation without grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease, chronic graft-versus-host disease requiring systemic treatment, relapse, or death. Chronic graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival was defined as the time after transplantation without moderate or severe chronic graft-versus-host disease, relapse, or death. One-year graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival and chronic graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival estimates were, respectively, 47% (95% CI: 41-55%) and 53% (95% CI: 46-61%) after myeloablative HLA-matched related, 42% (95% CI: 34-52%) and 52% (95% CI: 44-62%) after myeloablative HLA-matched unrelated, and 45% (95% CI: 40-50%) and 50% (95% CI: 45-55%) after non-myeloablative HLA-haploidentical donor transplantation. In multivariable models, there were no differences in graft-versus-host disease-free, or chronic graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival after either myeloablative HLA-matched unrelated or non-myeloablative HLA-haploidentical, compared with myeloablative HLA-matched related donor transplantation. Although limited by inclusion of dissimilar cohorts, we found that post-transplantation cyclophosphamide-based platforms yield comparable composite endpoints across conditioning intensity, donor type, and HLA match.
