RESUMO
Unrelated donor (URD) hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is associated with an increased risk of severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). TCRαß/CD19 depletion may reduce this risk, whereas maintaining graft-versus-leukemia. Outcome data with TCRαß/CD19 depletion generally describe haploidentical donors, with relatively few URDs. We hypothesized that TCRαß/CD19-depletion would attenuate the risks of GVHD and relapse for URD HSCT. Sixty pediatric and young adult (YA) patients with hematologic malignancies who lacked a matched-related donor were enrolled at 2 large pediatric transplantation centers between October 2014 and September 2019. All patients with acute leukemia had minimal residual disease testing, and DP typing was available for 77%. All patients received myeloablative total body irradiation- or busulfan-based conditioning with no posttransplant immune suppression. Engraftment occurred in 98%. Four-year overall survival was 69% (95% confidence interval [CI], 52%-81%), and leukemia-free survival was 64% (95% CI, 48%-76%), with no difference between lymphoid and myeloid malignancies (P = .6297 and P = .5441, respectively). One patient (1.7%) experienced primary graft failure. Relapse occurred in 11 patients (3-year cumulative incidence, 21%; 95% CI, 11-34), and 8 patients (cumulative incidence, 15%; 95% CI, 6.7-26) experienced nonrelapse mortality. Grade III to IV acute GVHD was seen in 8 patients (13%), and 14 patients (26%) developed chronic GVHD, of which 6 (11%) had extensive disease. Nonpermissive DP mismatch was associated with higher likelihood of acute GVHD (odds ratio, 16.50; 95% CI, 1.67-163.42; P = .0166) but not with the development of chronic GVHD. URD TCRαß/CD19-depleted peripheral HSCT is a safe and effective approach to transplantation for children/YAs with leukemia. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02323867.

OBJECTIVE: To quantify lean mass (LM) and fat mass (FM) in survivors of childhood allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (alloHSCT) compared with healthy reference participants and identify risk factors for body composition abnormalities. STUDY DESIGN: Whole body LM and FM were measured with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry in 54 survivors (ages 5-25 years) and 894 healthy reference participants in a cross-sectional study. Multivariate regression models were used to compare sex- and race-specific Z-scores for LM for height (LM-Ht) and FM for height (FM-Ht) in survivors and reference participants and to identify correlates of LM-Ht and FM-Ht Z-scores in alloHSCT. RESULTS: Height Z-scores were significantly lower in alloHSCT survivors (P < .001) compared with reference participants; body mass index Z-scores did not differ (P = .13). Survivors had significantly lower mean LM-Ht Z-scores (-0.72; 95% CI, -1.02--0.42; P < .001) and greater FM-Ht Z-scores (1.10; 95% CI, 0.84-1.39; P < .001) compared with reference participants. LM-Ht Z-score deficits in alloHSCT survivors were larger (-1.26; 95% CI, -1.53--0.99; P < .001) after adjustment for FM-Ht Z-scores. Endocrinopathies and alloHSCT characteristics were not associated with LM-Ht or FM-Ht Z-scores. CONCLUSION: Survivors of childhood alloHSCT have significant LM deficits and FM excess. Future studies should identify the mechanism and consequences of these abnormalities.
