Human adenoviruses cause a wide spectrum of illnesses, including invasive infections, in immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of disseminated adenovirus infection following unrelated cord–blood transplantation in a 46-year-old male with a lymphoma. A review of the literature on disseminated adenovirus infections in adult patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has also been included. Despite antiviral therapy, the mortality rate in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients with a disseminated adenovirus infection is as high as 72%, and estimating the risk of human adenovirus infection in a timely manner is crucial to improving outcomes.

Abstract Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HST) was first introduced to Korean children in 1983. Since then HST has been a curative method for pediatric malignant or non-malignant hematologic disorders and the number of children receiving HST’s has been increasing steadily. Method: We analyzed three hundred and fifty cases of pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation between Nov. 1983 and Dec. 2003 in the Catholic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Center of Korea. Results: HLA-matched sibling bone marrow transplantations were performed in 206 cases (103 males, 103 females, median age 12 years) with median follow-up of 73 months. The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) of ALL and AML was 70.5 % and 67.22 %, respectively. The 5-year EFS of severe aplastic anemia was 90.9 %. The 5-year EFS of CML/MDS and rare hematologic diseases was 65.5 % and 90.0 %, respectively. Eighty-one children (56 males, 25 females, median age 9 years) underwent unrelated bone marrow transplantation (UBMT), 42 (27 males, 15 females, median age 5 years) cord blood transplantation (CBT) and 21 (14 males, 7 females, median age 8 years) familial haploidentical HST (FHT). Three-year EFS of UBMT, CBT and FHT was 55.6 %, 48.0 % and 38.0 %, respectively. Conclusion: HLA-matched sibling allogeneic BMT showed better survival in children with hematopoietic stem cell disorders. Recently, transplants using alternative stem cell sources are increasing due to the lack of suitable sibling donors and continued efforts for reducing transplant-related complications are warranted for improved survival.

Abstract We have analyzed the incidence and risk factors of developing a secondary malignancy after total body irradiation (TBI) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). From March 1986 to December 2002, 205 patients received TBI as a part of the HSCT conditioning regimen. TBI was administered in 6 fractions, twice a day, up to a total dose of 12 Gy, with a median dose rate of 11.44 cGy/min. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) was performed in 119 patients and the other 86 patients received an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). Median age was 30 years (5–63). We have calculated the cumulative incidence of solid tumors and secondary hematologic malignancies among these patients. Death due to noncancerous causes and patients lost to follow-up were entered as a competitive risk. With a median follow-up of 32 months (0.2–229)- including patients deceased in the first three months- 13 (6.3%) developed a secondary malignancy, 7 of them (3.4%) developed a solid tumor and 6 (2.9%) developed a secondary hematologic malignancy. The 7 patients who developed a solid tumor-1 glioblastoma, 2 head and neck carcinoma, 2 basocelular carcinoma, 1 osteosarcoma and 1 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia- had received an allo-HSCT. The 6 patients that developed a secondary hematologic malignancy- 5 therapy-related leukemia/myelodisplasia (t-AML/MDS) and 1 B cell non Hodgkin’s lymphoma- had received an AHSCT. The overall probability of developing a secondary malignancy after HSCT is 2.5% at 3 years (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1– 6); 5% at 10 years (95% CI 2.6–9.3), and 9% at 15 years (95% CI 5–16.5). The probability of developing a solid tumor after HSCT is 0.5% at 3 years (95% CI 0.1–3.6), 1.8 % at 10 years (95% CI 0.6–5.5), and 6 % at 15 years (95% CI 2.6–13.7) and the probability of developing a secondary hematologic malignancy is 2 % at 3 years (95% CI 0.8–5.3), and 3,1 % at 10 and 15 years (95% CI 1.4–6.9). Median time to develop a solid tumor was 134 months (29–229). Median time to develop a secondary hematologic malignancy was 31 (3–60) months. Multivariate analysis proved that allo-HSCT was the only risk factor of developing a solid tumor, and that AHSCT and advanced age were risk factors of developing secondary hematologic malignancy (mean age 30 vs. 50 years ). To conclude, the probability of developing a solid tumor after HSCT is higher if an allo-HSCT has been performed and increases with time. AHSCT and advanced age are risk factors for the development of a secondary hematologic malignancy, a risk that decreases 5 years after AHSCT.

Abstract Relapse of hematologic malignancy is a major problem after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT), with limited treatment options of proven benefit other than donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI). Additionally, toxicity from treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy after alloHSCT may differ from conventional treatments, and could include graft-versus-host disease, allograft failure, or increased risk of infection. We retrospectively reviewed treatment outcomes of 25 patients who received cytotoxic chemotherapy as treatment for relapsed hematologic malignancies after reduced-intensity, matched-sibling donor alloHSCT. Combination therapies included: EPOCH+/− rituximab (n=12 patients); “7&3” AML induction (ida/ara-c) (n=2); FLAG (n=2); asparaginase/6-MP/vincristine (n=1); R-ICE (n=1); MIME (n=1); BVP (n=1); and bortezomib/doxorubicin/dexamethasone (n=1). Single-agent therapies included: bortezomib (n=6); gemcitabine (n=4), vinorelbine (n=3); vincristine (n=1); methotrexate (n=1); and intrathecal methotrexate and/or cytarabine (n=5). A total of 133 cycles or doses were administered, of which 20 were supported with donor stem cell boosts, and another 9 were followed by nonmobilized DLI. There were 52 Grade 3 or higher toxicity episodes recorded, most commonly: neutropenia (10 episodes); infection with neutropenia (5 episodes); thrombocytopenia (6 episodes); and anemia (3 episodes). There were 12 episodes of CMV reactivation in 8 of 15 patients at risk, including 2 cases of pneumonitis and 1 case of colitis. GVHD flares were considered definitely chemotherapy-induced (2), possibly chemotherapy-induced (7), and unlikely chemotherapy-induced (2). Unusual events after treatment included culture-negative sepsis-like illness after bortezomib (n=2), secondary (11q23) AML of donor origin after one cycle of EPOCH (n=1) and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage after EPOCH (n=1). Seven patients achieved CR with therapy for post-transplant relapse, including three durable remissions. Four patients achieved PR and seven achieved disease stabilization. Median survival after starting cytotoxic therapy was 263 days. Timing of relapse appeared to be associated with survival, with median overall survival of 95 days for patients requiring therapy before Day 100 vs. 508 days for patients after Day 100 (p=0.0008). Treatment of relapse with cytotoxic chemotherapy after alloSCT is feasible and can result in durable remissions in a minority of patients. However, administration of cytotoxic therapy after alloHSCT requires monitoring and support for hematologic toxicities, GVHD and CMV reactivation; selected patients may benefit from prophylactic stem cell boosts or immune suppression.

e17020 Background: For hematologic malignancy patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT), the maintenance and/or increase of physical activity (PA) after allo-SCT possibly lead to favorable outcomes. However, it remains to be clarified how much intensity of daily rehabilitation should be prescribed. The aim of this study was to evaluate target PA according to daily performance status (PS) in these patients. Methods: Twenty-seven allo-SCT patients were enrolled in this study (13 males, 14 females, the median age; 47 years). Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. Donor types were bone marrow (n = 12), peripheral blood stem cell (n = 6), and single-unit cord blood (n = 9). All patients received our established exercise program supervised by physical therapists just after neutrophil engraftment in a bioclean room. As an alternative value of PA, daily steps (DS) were measured by using a uniaxial pedometer (Lifecorder EX, Suzuken Co. Ltd., Nagoya, Japan), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group PS after allo-SCT were also assessed daily for each individual. The data were statistically analyzed by using ANOVA and Scheff 's tests. Results: A correlation between DS and PS was observed. After the early physical intervention, the mean DS of patients with PS 1, 2, or 3 in a bioclean room were 2,411 ± 1,068, 1,205 ± 572, and 597 ± 216 steps/day, respectively. DS significantly declined by about 50% according to one grade deterioration of PS. Conclusions: As the target PA correlated with PS seems to be existence, we should plan daily activity in a bioclean room to keep more than above-mentioned mean DS according to daily PS for allo-SCT patients.

Abstract The only well-established curative therapy for patients with hemoglobinopathies is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), which, in the last 20 years, has been mainly performed from an HLA-matched, related donor, using bone marrow as source of hematopoietic progenitors. More recent studies indicate that HSCT from unrelated donors may offer results comparable to those obtained with HLA-identical family donors, provided that stringent criteria of compatibility are employed for selecting the donor. Cord blood transplantation was also suggested to be an equally effective, but safer, procedure than bone marrow transplantation, due to the lower incidence and severity of both acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease. In view of the early, as well as late, morbidity and mortality associated with conventional myeloablative transplantation in patients with hemoglobinopathies, it is not surprising that great interest and relevant expectations for patients with hemoglobinopathies have been raised by the introduction in the clinical practice of reduced-intensity preparative regimens. However, few reports have demonstrated the feasibility of using reduced-intensity preparative regimens for successfully treating these patients and many treatment failures, mainly due to the lack of sustained donor engraftment, have been reported. Despite these limitations, some of the concepts obtained from the use of reduced intensity regimens, such as the substitution of fludarabine for cyclophosphamide, may be important to further improve the outcome of patients with hemoglobinopathies, especially of those with poor prognostic characteristics, given HSCT.
