Haploidentical hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is an alternative transplant strategy for patients without an HLA-matched donor. Still, only half of patients who might benefit from transplantation are able to find an HLA-matched related or unrelated donor. Haploidentical donor is readily available for many patients in need of immediate stem-cell transplantation. Historical experience with haploidentical stem-cell transplantation has been characterised by a high rejection rate, graft-versus-host disease, and transplant-related mortality. Important advances have been made in this field during the last 20 years. Many drawbacks of haploidentical transplants such as graft failure and significant GVHD have been overcome due to the development of new extensive T cell depletion methods with mega dose stem-cell administration. However, prolonged immune deficiency and an increased relapse rate remain unresolved problems of T cell depletion. New approaches such as partial ex vivo or in vivo alloreactive T cell depletion and posttransplant cell therapy will allow to improve immune reconstitution in haploidentical transplants. Results of unmanipulated stem-cell transplantation with using ATG and combined immunosuppression in mismatched/haploidentical transplant setting are promising. This paper focuses on recent advances in haploidentical hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) for children with donors from family members. Patients and methods: Forty-two children under fourteen years old with hematologic malignancies underwent haploidentical HCT. The outcome was analyzed. Results: Four (9.5%) of the forty-two patients/donor pairs mismatched in one HLA locus, fifteen (35.7%) pairs in two loci and twenty three (54.8%) in three loci. They were followed up for a median of 612 (40–1779) days. All patients achieved stable engraftment. The cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grade 2–4 was 57.2%, and that of grade 3–4 was 13.8%. The cumulative incidence of total and extensive chronic GVHD was 56.7% and 29.5%, respectively. The probability of leukemia-free survival was 65.1% in standard-risk group and 49.6% in high-risk group. Fourteen patients died, four from infection, six from relapse of leukemia, two from heart failure, one from severe acute GVHD, and one from lymphoproliferative disorders. The probability of relapse was 13.8% at 1 year and 27.9% at 2 year after transplantation. Conclusion: The results in this study encourage extending the haploidentical HCT without T-cell depletion to children with an indication for transplantation.

Abstract Abstract 3087 Introduction Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) represents the only potential to cure wide types of hematological diseases. A patient has 30% of chance to find a HLA-identical sibling donor while the rest of patients should find an alternative unrelated donor. The use of 10/10 HLA matched unrelated transplants has been used as a main alternative and with its unavailability, when available, a 9/10 HLA mismatched unrelated transplant has been used. The outcome of this last mismatched transplant is not very clear and its use according to patient and disease conditions has not been well defined yet. Aims To evaluate the outcome of allo-HSCT from 9/10 HLA mismatched unrelated donors compared to those from 10/10 HLA identical unrelated donors and siblings; and to define which category of patients can benefit the more in each alternative. Material and methods We have retrospectively studied the outcome of 213 patients who received allo-HSCT for different hematological malignancies, 121 (57%) from HLA identical siblings, 63 (29%) from 10/10 HLA identical unrelated donors and 29 (14%) from 9/10 HLA mismatched unrelated donors treated during the same period of time between 2006 and 2011 at our institution. In the mismatched group, 12 patients had the mismatch at HLA-A locus, 7 at the HLA-B, 7 at the HLA-C and 3 at the HLA-DQ. Characteristics between the 3 groups were comparable except for: disease type between the 2 unrelated groups, sex-matching, CMV-matching and ABO-matching. The different characteristics are detailed in Table 1. Results After HSCT, engraftment was significantly lower in the 9/10 HLA group (90%) than in the 10/10 HLA group (95%) than in the sibling group (99%), (p=0.03); the cumulative incidence of acute GVHD ≥2 at 3 months was 32% (23–41), 20% (15–26) and 27% (23–32) respectively; the cumulative incidence of extensive chronic GVHD at one year was 21% (13–30), 9% (5–13) and 17% (14–21) for the 3 groups respectively. After a median follow-up of 8 months (0–54) in the 9/10 HLA group, 10 months (0–60) in the 10/10 HLA group and 18 months in the siblings group, the median overall survival (OS) was 10 months (5–21), 18 months (11-NR) and 60 months (31-NR) respectively with a 2-years probability of 19% (8–44), 43% (31–59) and 63% (54–74) respectively. There was a higher but not significant relapse incidence at one year in the 9/10 HLA group compared to other groups while the transplant related mortality was significantly higher with a cumulative incidence at 1 year of 45% (35–55), (p<0.001) (Table1-results). In multivariate analysis, OS was negatively affected by unrelated donors [9/10 HR=5 (2.7–10), p=0.0001; 10/10 HR=2 (1.2–4), p=0.01], female donors [HR=2 (1.4–4), p=0.03] and disease status < CR1 or <chronic phase (CP) 1 [HR=3 (1.4–6), p=0.003]; while the TRM was negatively affected by unrelated donors [9/10 HR=9 (4–20), p<0.001; 10/10 HR=4 (1.2–10), p=0.03], female donors [HR=3 (1.2–7); p=0.01] and ABO minor incompatibility [HR=2.5 (1.2–5), p=0.01]. The funnel plot showing the adjusted TRM according to all covariates and comparing to the global population death rate, shows that the 9/10 HLA group has the worse TRM independently of any other factor. Conclusion We showed that allo-HSCT from 9/10 HLA mismatched unrelated donors have a significantly worse OS than those from matched unrelated donors and siblings; this was mainly due to an increased TRM in this group. Patients in first CR or CP could benefit the more from matched or 9/10 unrelated allo-HSCT while the use of transplants from 9/10 HLA unrelated donors in patients not in CR1 or CP1 should be limited to clinical trials. In view of these results, we should consider and evaluate the use of cord blood as an alternative source of transplant according to patient and disease conditions.
