Abstract

Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) represents the main alternative for children with inherited bone marrow failure syndrome (I-BMF) lacking a matched donor. This retrospective study, conducted on behalf of the EBMT SAAWP and PDWP, aims to report the current outcomes of haplo-SCT in I-BMFs, comparing the different in vivo and ex vivo T-cell depletion approaches. One hundred and sixty-two I-BMF patients who underwent haplo-SCT (median age 7.4 years) have been registered. Fanconi Anemia was the most represented diagnosis (70.1%). Based on different T-cell depletion (TCD) approaches, four categories were identified: (1) TCR alpha beta(+)/CD19+-depletion (43.8%); (2) T-repleted with post-transplant Cyclophosphamide (PTCy, 34.0%); (3) In-vivo T-depletion with ATG/alemtuzumab (14.8%); (4) CD34(+) positive selection (7.4%). The cumulative incidences (CI) of neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 84% and 76% respectively, while that of primary and secondary graft failure was 10% and 8% respectively. The 100-day CI of acute GvHD grade III-IV(95% CI) was 13%, while the 24-month CI of extensive chronic GvHD was 4%. After a median follow-up of 43.4 months, the 2-year overall survival(OS) and GvHD/Rejection-free Survival (GRFS) probabilities are 67% and 53%, respectively. The TCR CD3(+)alpha beta(+)/CD19(+) depletion group showed a significantly lower incidence of both acute and chronic GvHD and higher OS (79%; p0.013) and GRFS (71%; p < .001), while no significant differences in outcomes have been observed by different diagnosis and conditioning regimens. This large retrospective study supports the safety and feasibility of haplo-SCT in I-BMF patients. TCR alpha beta(+)/CD19(+ )depletion offers higher chances of patients' survival, with a significantly lower risk of severe a- and c-GvHD in I-BMFs compared to other platforms.
