Özet

Background: Haploidentical HSCT is a good option for children with PIDs lacking an HLA-matched donor. Co-transplantation of MSCs during haploidentical HSCT in patients with PIDs may enhance engraftment, decrease the risk of GVHD, and ensure stable donor chimerism.

Methods: Twenty-seven pediatric patients (median age, 1.4 years; range, .3-10.9) with PIDs undergoing thirty haploidentical HSCT with TCR αβ depletion and co-transplantation of MSCs were enrolled to study. Most patients (73.3%) received myeloablative conditioning consisting of treosulfan or busulfan, fludarabine, and thiotepa. The median duration of follow-up was 14.3 months (range, 1-69 months).

Results: Acute GVHD occurred in 7 patients (grade I-II n = 5, grade III-IV n = 2). Chronic GVHD was observed in only one patient. Twenty-one patients (70.2%) had 100% donor chimerism in all cell lines including T-cell and B-cell lineages. Primary graft failure was observed in 7 patients (25.9%). The cumulative incidences of TRM were 20% at day 100, and 26.7% at one year and five years. Probabilities of OS were 80% at day 100, and 71.9% at 1 year and 5 years. Infants transplanted younger than 6 months of age had the highest 5-year survival rate (85.7%).

Conclusion: We conclude that use of TCR αβ depleted haploidentical transplantation with MSCs may ensure a rapid engraftment rate, low incidence of significant acute and chronic GVHD, and acceptable post-transplantation morbidity, especially in patients diagnosed with SCID and may be considered in children with PIDs. In younger patients (≤6 months), survival is comparable between HLA-matched graft and CD3+ TCRαβ depleted HLA-mismatched graft recipients.
