The superiority of total body irradiation (TBI)-based vs chemotherapy conditioning for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been established in the international, prospective phase-3 FORUM study, randomizing 417 patients aged 4-18 years in complete remission (CR), who received allo-HSCT from HLA-matched sibling or unrelated donors. Because of the unavailability of TBI in some regions and to accommodate individual contraindications, this study reports the prespecified comparison of outcomes of patients receiving busulfan (BU)- or treosulfan (TREO)-based regimens from 2013 to 2018. Overall, 180 and 128 patients received BU/thiotepa (THIO)/fludarabine (FLU) or TREO/THIO/FLU, respectively. Data were analyzed as of February 2023, with a median follow-up of 4.2 years (range, 0.3-9.1). 3-year overall survival was 0.71 (BU, 95% confidence interval [0.64-0.77]) and 0.72 (TREO, [0.63-0.79]) and 3-year event-free survival was 0.60 (BU, [0.53-0.67]) and 0.55 (TREO, [0.46-0.63]). The 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse (BU, 0.31 [0.25-0.38]; TREO, 0.36 [0.27-0.44]); and nonrelapse mortality (BU, 0.08 [0.05-0.13]; TREO, 0.09 [0.05-0.15]) were comparable. One case of fatal veno-occlusive disease occurred in each group. No significant differences in acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or 3-year GVHD-free and relapse-free survival (BU, 0.48 [0.41-0.55]; TREO, 0.45 [0.37-0.54]) were recorded. Outcomes for patients in first and second CR were similar irrespective of the regimen. In conclusion, BU/THIO/FLU or TREO/THIO/FLU regimens can be an alternative to TBI for patients with ALL aged >4 years with contraindications or lack of access to TBI. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT01949129.

This prospective multicentre trial evaluated the safety and the efficacy of a thiotepa/melphalan-based reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in children and adolescents with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP). Thirty-two patients were transplanted from matched siblings or matched unrelated donors. In 22 patients, HSCT was performed due to insufficient molecular response or loss of response to first- or second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), with pretransplant BCR::ABL1 transcripts ranging between 0.001% and 33%. The protocol included a BCR::ABL1-guided intervention with TKI retreatment in the first year and donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) in the second-year post-transplant. All patients engrafted. The 1-year transplant-related mortality was 3% (confidence interval [CI]: 0%-6%). After a median follow-up of 6.3 years, 5-year overall survival and event-free survival are 97% (CI: 93%-100%) and 91% (CI: 79%-100%) respectively. The current 5-year leukaemia-free survival with BCR::ABL1 <0.01% is 97% (CI: 88%-100%) and the current TKI- and DLI-free survival is 95% (CI: 85%-100%). The incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) was 32%, being severe in four patients (13%). At last follow-up, 31 patients are GvHD-free and have stopped immunosuppression. RIC HSCT following pretreatment with TKI is feasible and effective in children and adolescents with CP-CML with an excellent disease-free and TKI-free survival.

BACKGROUND: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) represents a curative treatment for patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a group of monogenic immune disorders with an otherwise fatal outcome. OBJECTIVE: We performed a comprehensive multicenter analysis of genotype-specific HSCT outcome, including detailed analysis of immune reconstitution (IR) and the predictive value for clinical outcome. METHODS: HSCT outcome was studied in 338 patients with genetically confirmed SCID who underwent transplantation in 2006-2014 and who were registered in the SCETIDE registry. In a representative subgroup of 152 patients, data on IR and long-term clinical outcome were analyzed. RESULTS: Two-year OS was similar with matched family and unrelated donors and better than mismatched donor HSCT (P < .001). The 2-year event-free survival (EFS) was similar in matched and mismatched unrelated donor and less favorable in mismatched related donor (MMRD) HSCT (P < .001). Genetic subgroups did not differ in 2-year OS (P = .1) and EFS (P = .073). In multivariate analysis, pretransplantation infections and use of MMRDs were associated with less favorable OS and EFS. With a median follow-up of 6.2 years (range, 2.0-11.8 years), 73 of 152 patients in the IR cohort were alive and well without Ig dependency. IL-2 receptor gamma chain/Janus kinase 3/IL-7 receptor-deficient SCID, myeloablative conditioning, matched donor HSCT, and naive CD4 T lymphocytes >0.5 × 10e3/μL at +1 year were identified as independent predictors of favorable clinical and immunologic outcome. CONCLUSION: Recent advances in HSCT in SCID patients have resulted in improved OS and EFS in all genotypes and donor types. To achieve a favorable long-term outcome, treatment strategies should aim for optimal naive CD4 T lymphocyte regeneration.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for patients affected by Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS). Reported HSCT outcomes have improved over time with respect to overall survival, but some studies have identified older age and HSCT from alternative donors as risk factors predicting poorer outcome. We analyzed 197 patients undergoing transplant at European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation centers between 2006 and 2017 who received conditioning as recommended by the Inborn Errors Working Party (IEWP): either busulfan (n = 103) or treosulfan (n = 94) combined with fludarabine ± thiotepa. After a median follow-up post-HSCT of 44.9 months, 176 patients were alive, resulting in a 3-year overall survival of 88.7% and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free survival (events include death, graft failure, and severe chronic GVHD) of 81.7%. Overall survival and chronic GVHD-free survival were not significantly affected by conditioning regimen (busulfan- vs treosulfan-based), donor type (matched sibling donor/matched family donor vs matched unrelated donor/mismatched unrelated donor vs mismatched family donor), or period of HSCT (2006-2013 vs 2014-2017). Patients aged <5 years at HSCT had a significantly better overall survival. The overall cumulative incidences of grade III to IV acute GVHD and extensive/moderate/severe chronic GVHD were 6.6% and 2.1%, respectively. Patients receiving treosulfan-based conditioning had a higher incidence of graft failure and mixed donor chimerism and more frequently underwent secondary procedures (second HSCT, unconditioned stem cell boost, donor lymphocyte infusion, or splenectomy). In summary, HSCT for WAS with conditioning regimens currently recommended by IEWP results in excellent survival and low rates of GVHD, regardless of donor or stem cell source, but age ≥5 years remains a risk factor for overall survival.

Germline SAMD9 and SAMD9L mutations (SAMD9/9Lmut) predispose to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with propensity for somatic rescue. In this study, we investigated a clinically annotated pediatric MDS cohort (n = 669) to define the prevalence, genetic landscape, phenotype, therapy outcome and clonal architecture of SAMD9/9L syndromes. In consecutively diagnosed MDS, germline SAMD9/9Lmut accounted for 8% and were mutually exclusive with GATA2 mutations present in 7% of the cohort. Among SAMD9/9Lmut cases, refractory cytopenia was the most prevalent MDS subtype (90%); acquired monosomy 7 was present in 38%; constitutional abnormalities were noted in 57%; and immune dysfunction was present in 28%. The clinical outcome was independent of germline mutations. In total, 67 patients had 58 distinct germline SAMD9/9Lmut clustering to protein middle regions. Despite inconclusive in silico prediction, 94% of SAMD9/9Lmut suppressed HEK293 cell growth, and mutations expressed in CD34+ cells induced overt cell death. Furthermore, we found that 61% of SAMD9/9Lmut patients underwent somatic genetic rescue (SGR) resulting in clonal hematopoiesis, of which 95% was maladaptive (monosomy 7 ± cancer mutations), and 51% had adaptive nature (revertant UPD7q, somatic SAMD9/9Lmut). Finally, bone marrow single-cell DNA sequencing revealed multiple competing SGR events in individual patients. Our findings demonstrate that SGR is common in SAMD9/9Lmut MDS and exemplify the exceptional plasticity of hematopoiesis in children.

Specific protocols define eligibility, conditioning, donor selection, graft composition and prophylaxis of graft vs. host disease for children and young adults undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). However, international protocols rarely, if ever, detail supportive care, including pharmaceutical infection prophylaxis, physical protection with face masks and cohort isolation or food restrictions. Supportive care suffers from a lack of scientific evidence and implementation of practices in the transplant centers brings extensive restrictions to the child's and family's daily life after HSCT. Therefore, the Board of the Pediatric Diseases Working Party (PDWP) of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) held a series of dedicated workshops since 2017 with the aim of initiating the production of a set of minimal recommendations. The present paper describes the consensus reached within the field of infection prophylaxis.

Data on stem cell transplantation (SCT) for Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is limited. We studied patients transplanted for DBA and registered in the EBMT database. Between 1985 and 2016, 106 DBA patients (median age, 6.8 years) underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from matched-sibling donors (57%), unrelated donors (36%), or other related donors (7%), using marrow (68%), peripheral blood stem cells (20%), both marrow and peripheral blood stem cells (1%), or cord blood (11%). The cumulative incidence of engraftment was 86% (80% to 93%), and neutrophil recovery and platelet recovery were achieved on day +18 (range, 16 to 20) and +36 (range, 32 to 43), respectively. Three-year overall survival and event-free survival were 84% (77% to 91%) and 81% (74% to 89%), respectively. Older patients were significantly more likely to die (hazard ratio, 1.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 1.23; P < .001). Outcomes were similar between sibling compared to unrelated-donor transplants. The incidence of acute grades II to IV of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was 30% (21% to 39%), and the incidence of extensive chronic GVHD was 15% (7% to 22%). This study shows that SCT may represent an alternative therapeutic option for transfusion-dependent younger patients.
