Background and objectivesOur study evaluated the efficiency and safety of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation treatment for patients with refractory lupus nephritis.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsFrom July 2011 to January 2015, a total of 22 patients with refractory lupus nephritis were enrolled in this study. Peripheral blood stem cells were mobilized with cyclophosphamide and granulocyte colony stimulating factor and reinfused after treatment with cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin. The primary end point was the rate of remission, and secondary end points included the survival and relapse rates, changes in proteinuria, kidney function, and serology immunologic test. All complications were recorded for safety assessment.ResultsTwenty-two patients were enrolled and underwent stem cell mobilization. There were nine men and 13 women, with a median lupus nephritis duration of 46 (33–71) months. The mean number of CD34+ cells was (7.3±3.8)×106/kg. All patients had successful engraftment, and the median times of granulocyte and platelet engraftment were 8 (7–9) and 9 (6–10) days, respectively. The major complications of stem cell transplantation were fever and gastrointestinal tract symptoms. The treatment-related mortality was 5% (one of 22). After a median follow-up of 72 (60–80) months, 18 (82%) patients achieved completed remission, one (5%) patient achieved partial remission, and one patient had no response and received peritoneal dialysis at 12 months after transplantation. The 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 91% and 53%, respectively. Six patients experienced relapse during the follow-up, and the relapse rate was 27%.ConclusionsAutologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant could be used as a treatment option for refractory lupus nephritis, because it was relatively safe and associated with good outcomes.

Abstract Reduced-intensity conditioned (RIC) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has improved the accessibility of transplantation in patients previously ineligible. We report the results of allografting following conditioning with fludarabine, busulphan, and alemtuzumab in 62 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) (matched sibling donors [24] or volunteer unrelated donors [VUDs, 38]). The median age for sibling recipients was 56 years (range, 41-70 years) and for VUD recipients, 52 years (range, 22-65 years), with a median follow-up (survivors) of 524 days (range, 93-1392 days) and 420 days (range, 53-1495 days), respectively. The nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at days 100, 200, and 360 was 0%, 5%, and 5%, respectively, for siblings and 11%, 17%, and 21%, respectively, for VUD. The overall survival at one year was 73% for siblings and 71% for VUDs, with a disease-free survival (DFS) of 61% and 59%, respectively. The prognostic significance of the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) was preserved. Of recipients, 86% achieved full-donor chimerism. The cumulative incidence at day 100 of grades III to IV graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) for VUD recipients was 9% and for sibling recipients, 0%. There were 26 patients (16 sibling and 10 VUD) who received donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) at a median of 273 days (range, 126-1323 days). RIC allogeneic HSCT using this protocol appears to be safe and permits durable donor engraftment. Longer follow-up is required to confirm any potential survival advantage.

Abstract Introduction Multiple myeloma (MM) in very young patients is uncommon, and no treatment guidelines exist for these patients. Patients and Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of five very young myeloma patients who underwent tandem autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Results The median age was 37 years (range = 34–40 years). A median of two leukapheresis was performed (range = 1–4). The median number of hematopoietic stem cells collected was 5.4 × 106/kg (4.4–8.2 × 106/kg). During first transplant, four patients received melphalan of 200 mg/m2 and one patient received melphalan of 140 mg/m2 (due to renal failure) as conditioning regimen. Second transplant conditioning was melphalan of 200 mg/m2 for one patient and melphalan of 140 mg/m2 for remaining four patients. Two patients were in complete remission, and two were in very good partial remission and one patient progressed to active disease at the time of tandem autologous bone marrow transplant. All patients developed significant mucositis. Neutrophil and platelet recovery was longer in tandem autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. More viral infections were seen in tandem transplant. Day 30 and day 100 mortality was nil. Conclusion We present data on tandem autologous HSCTs in very young patients with MM in India. Responses continued to improve in this small series.

For the last few months, various geographical regions and health sectors have been facing challenges posed by the current COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has led to significant disruption in the normal functioning of potentially life-saving therapies of hematopoietic cell transplant and chimeric antigen receptor therapy. As transplant physicians are gaining more information and experience regarding the undertaking of these complex procedures during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we believe it is important to discuss the challenges faced, prognostic risk factors, and outcomes of COVID-19 in post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients based on the available real-world data.

Abstract Background and Aims The aim of the study is to investigate the incidence and risk factors of hypertension (HT) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients who had hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) during their childhood. Method Patients who had HSCT between January 2010-2019 with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months were included in the study. Data regarding renal complications were collected from the medical records of the patients. Guidelines of European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and American Academy of Pediatrics (APA) were used for the evaluation of hypertension. 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed in children older than 5 years of age (68 patients). Ambulatory hypertension is diagnosed when systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure (BP) load is higher than 25%. Ambulatory prehypertension is diagnosed when mean systolic and/or diastolic BP is less than 95th percentile with systolic and/or diastolic BP load higher than 25%. Results A total of 72 patients (41 males and 31 females) were included in the study. The mean age of the patients at last visit was 10.8±4 years. ABPM revealed ambulatory HT in 6 patients (8.8%) and ambulatory prehypertension in 12 patients (17.6%). Office BP revealed HT in 3 patients (4.2%) and increased BP in four patients (5.6%) according to APA guideline (2017). In cohort, 12 patients with normal office BP (according to APA guideline) had ambulatory prehypertension or hypertension with ABPM. Office BP revealed HT in 1 patient (1.4%) and high-normal BP in 3 patients (4.2%) according to ESH guideline. In cohort, 15 patients with normal office BP (according to ESH guideline) had ambulatory prehypertension or hypertension with ABPM (Table 1). After a mean follow-up period of 4.4±2.5 years, CKD developed in 8 patients (11.1%). Patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease, with HLA-mismatched HSCT and/or transplantation of peripheric or cord blood hematopoietic stem cells had increased risk of CKD (p=0.041, p=0.033 and p=0.002, respectively). Conclusion Patients with HSCT should be regularly followed for the development of HT and ABPM should be used on regular basis. Patients with risk factors should be closely monitored for the development of CKD.

Wide Range

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a life-saving therapy for many patients with cancer, as well as patients with some nonmalignant hematologic disorders, such as aplastic anemia, sickle cell disease, and certain congenital immune deficiencies. Kidney injury directly associated with stem cell transplantation includes a wide range of structural and functional abnormalities, which may be vascular (hypertension, thrombotic microangiopathy), glomerular (albuminuria, nephrotic glomerulopathies), and/or tubulointerstitial. AKI occurs commonly after stem cell transplant, affecting 10%–73% of patients. The cause is often multifactorial and can include sepsis, nephrotoxic medications, marrow infusion syndrome, hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, thrombotic microangiopathy, infections, and graft versus host disease. The risk of post-transplant kidney injury varies depending on patient characteristics, type of transplant (allogeneic versus autologous), and choice of chemotherapeutic conditioning regimen (myeloablative versus nonmyeloablative). Importantly, AKI is associated with substantial morbidity, including the need for KRT in approximately 5% of patients and the development of CKD in up to 60% of transplant recipients. AKI has been associated universally with higher all-cause and nonrelapse mortality regardless of transplant type, and studies have consistently shown extremely high (>80%) mortality rates in those patients requiring acute dialysis. Accordingly, prevention, early recognition, and prompt treatment of kidney injury are essential to improving kidney and patient outcomes after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and for realizing the full potential of this therapy.

Abstract Studies investigating association of depression with overall survival (OS) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) yielded conflicting results. A nationwide cohort study, which included all adult patients [n = 7,170; depression group, 13.3% (N = 956); non-depression group, 86.7% (N = 6,214)] who received allo-HSCT from 2002 to 2018 in South Korea, analyzed risk of pre-transplant depression in OS of allo-HSCT. Subjects were followed from the day they received allo-HSCT, to occurrence of death, or last follow-up day (December 31, 2018). Median age at allo-HSCT for depression and non-depression groups were 50 and 45 (p < 0.0001), respectively. Two groups also differed in rate of females (depression group, 55.8%; non-depression group, 43.8%; p < 0.0001) and leukemia (depression group, 61.4%; non-depression group, 49.7%; p < 0.0001). After a median follow-up of 29.1 months, 5-year OS rate was 63.1%. Cox proportional-hazard regression evaluated an adjusted risk of post-transplant mortality related to depression: OS decreased sequentially from no depression (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1) to pre-transplant depression only (aHR = 1.167, CI: 1.007–1.352, p = 0.04), and to having both depression and anxiety disorder (aHR = 1.202, CI: 1.038–1.393, p = 0.014) groups. Pre-transplant anxiety (anxiety only) did not have significant influence in OS. Additional medical and psychiatric care might be necessary in patients who experienced depression, especially with anxiety, before allo-HSCT.
