Early defibrotide therapy and risk factors for post-transplant veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome in childhood. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2024:e31331. [PMID: 39289887 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.31331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Veno-occlusive disease (VOD), also known as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), is a life-threatening complications of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). METHODS We studied the impact of early defibrotide (DF) therapy on the outcomes of pediatric patients with VOD/SOS after transplantation, focusing on recent immunotherapies. A total of 111 pediatric patients who underwent HCT for malignant disease between February 2017 and March 2023 at Kyushu University Hospital were included. RESULTS Among 111 patients of less than 20 years of age who underwent HCT for malignancy at a single institution between 2017 and 2023, VOD/SOS occurred in 25 (23%) patients. VOD/SOS developed more frequently in the post-DF era (2020-2023, n = 58) than in the pre-DF era (31% vs. 13%, p = .04). The proportion of patients with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was higher in the post-DF era than in the pre-DF era (44% vs. 8%, p = .04). Early DF therapy that was started at two European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation diagnostic criteria reduced the severity of VOD/SOS (p < .01) in comparison to non-early therapy started at less than two criteria. A multivariate analysis indicated that a history of cytokine release syndrome (odds ratio [OR] = 10.4, p = .01) and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (OR = 8.98, p = .04), but not an endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) score of greater than 0.85, were independent risk factors for VOD/SOS. CONCLUSIONS Early DF therapy improves the severity and survival outcomes of post-transplant VOD/SOS in children. However, its incidence is increasing in the era of immunotherapy for progressive diseases.

Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome/Veno-Occlusive Disease after Unmanipulated Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation with Post-Transplantation Cyclophosphamide: A Study on Behalf of the Spanish Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Group (GETH). Transplant Cell Ther 2024; 30:914.e1-914.e8.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD) is a life-threatening complication after both autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, its characterization after haploidentical HSCT (haplo-HSCT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) is scarce. This study aimed to describe characteristics and outcomes of patients with SOS/VOD after haplo-HSCT with PT-Cy. We conducted a retrospective study of 797 patients undergoing a haplo-HSCT with PT-Cy between 2007 and 2019 in 9 centers in Spain. SOS/VOD was defined according to modified Seattle, Baltimore, or revised European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria. Severity was graded retrospectively according to revised EBMT severity criteria into 4 categories: mild, moderate, severe, and very severe. From a total of 797 haplo-HSCTs performed, 46 patients (5.77%) were diagnosed with SOS/VOD at a median of 19 days (range, 4 to 84 days) after transplantation. Based on revised EBMT severity criteria, the SOS/VOD cases were classified as mild (n = 4; 8.7%), moderate (n = 10; 21.7%), severe (n = 12; 26.1%), and very severe (n = 20; 43.5%). Overall, 30 patients (65%) achieved SOS/VOD complete response, 25 (83%) of whom were treated with defibrotide. Twenty patients (43%) died before day +100 post-HSCT. Death was attributed to SOS/VOD in 11 patients, and 5 patients died of other causes without resolution of SOS/VOD. The incidence of SOS/VOD after haplo-HSCT with PT-Cy was comparable to those reported after HLA-identical HSCT series. Most of the patients developed very severe SOS/VOD according to revised EBMT severity criteria. Despite a promising SOS/VOD complete response (CR) rate (65%), 100-day mortality remained high (43%), indicating that further improvement in the management of this potentially fatal complication is needed.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication, usually described in the setting of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The very severe forms have a high mortality rate (>80%) and need fast recognition and urgent treatment. In this case report, we describe a unique and successful treatment strategy. We present a 27-year-old patient with newly diagnosed CD33+ acute myeloid leukemia (AML). She was treated with induction chemotherapy (7+3 regimen) and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO). In the absence of other major risk factors, she developed a very severe SOS with multiple organ failure. She was successfully treated with the urgent insertion of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), defibrotide, and high-dose corticosteroids. This case of successful treatment for very severe SOS supports a combination strategy involving the immediate mechanical reduction of portal hypertension through TIPS and drug-mediated inhibition of microvascular thrombosis. Furthermore, this case shows the need for an improved prevention strategy, including the identification of additional risk factors and biomarkers.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD) is a life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Early diagnosis of SOS/VOD is associated with improved clinical outcomes. In 2023, the refined European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation diagnostic and severity criteria (refined EBMT criteria 2023) have been advocated. The revision has introduced new diagnostic categories, namely; probable, clinical, and proven SOS/VOD. In addition, the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score has been newly incorporated into the SOS/VOD severity grading. We performed a retrospective analysis to evaluate the utility of these criteria. We analyzed 161 cases who underwent allogeneic HSCT. We identified 53 probable, 23 clinical, and 4 proven SOS/VOD cases. Probable SOS/VOD was diagnosed a median of 5.0 days earlier (interquartile range: 2-13 days, P < 0.001) than that of clinical SOS/VOD. The development of probable SOS/VOD alone was associated with a significantly inferior survival proportion compared to non-SOS/VOD (100-day survival, 86.2% vs. 94.3%, P = 0.012). The SOFA score contributed to the prediction of prognosis. Consequently, the refined EBMT criteria 2023 demonstrated the utility of SOS/VOD diagnosis and severity grading. Further investigations and improvements in these criteria are warranted.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Although increasing awareness and modern transplant techniques have mitigated risk, the interaction of historic risk factors in the current era with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is unknown. We performed a retrospective single-center analysis of adult patients aged ≥18 years undergoing allo-SCT (N = 1561) using predominately PTCy as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis (72%). We found a higher rate of VOD at 16.8% (20 of 119) in those aged ≤25 years compared with 3.8% (55 of 1442) in those aged >25 years, with unique predictors of VOD within each cohort. Multivariate classification and regression tree (CART) analysis confirmed age as the primary independent determinant of the rate of VOD. Among patients aged 18 to 25 years, disease risk index (DRI; 31% with high/very high DRI vs 12% low/intermediate DRI; P = .03) and prior lines of chemotherapy (24% with >1 vs 6% with ≤1; P = .03) were the strongest predictors of VOD. Incidence of VOD in patients aged >25 years of age consistently ranged between 3% and 5% across most risk factors evaluated, with only hepatic factors (baseline elevation of bilirubin, aspartate transferase, alanine aminotransferase) or gemtuzumab exposure associated with increased rates of VOD. There was no significant difference in rates of VOD in those receiving PTCy compared with those receiving alternate GVHD prophylaxis. Our data highlight the differences in incidence and predictors of VOD between younger (≤25) and older (>25) adults undergoing allo-SCT.

Analysis of laboratory parameters before the occurrence of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome in children, adolescents, and young adults after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2024; 150:9. [PMID: 38206490 PMCID: PMC10784366 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-023-05561-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a serious complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in which early diagnosis improves patient outcome. The aim of our study was to detect laboratory parameters following HSCT that can predict the occurrence of SOS. METHODS This retrospective study included 182 children, adolescents, and young adults who underwent allogeneic or autologous HSCT for the first time (median age 7.2 years). The diagnosis of SOS was based on the pediatric criteria of European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT). We investigated 15 laboratory parameters after HSCT before the onset of SOS. RESULTS The overall incidence of SOS was 14.8%. SOS developed in 24 of 126 allogeneic (19.1%) and in 3 of 56 autologous (5.4%) HSCT patients at a median time of 13 days after HSCT. We observed a low SOS mortality rate of 11.1% within 100 days after HSCT. International normalized ratio (INR) ≥ 1.3, activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≥ 40 s, reptilase time ≥ 18.3 s, factor VIII ≤ 80%, antithrombin III ≤ 75%, protein C ≤ 48%, D-dimer ≥ 315 µg/L, bilirubin ≥ 9 µmol/L, and ferritin ≥ 3100 µg/L showed significant associations with the onset of SOS in the univariate analyses. In the multivariate analysis, INR ≥ 1.3 [odds ratio (OR) = 8.104, p = 0.006], aPTT ≥ 40 s (OR = 10.174, p = 0.001), protein C ≤ 48% (OR = 5.215, p = 0.014), and ferritin ≥ 3100 µg/L (OR = 7.472, p = 0.004) could be confirmed as independent risk factors after HSCT before SOS. If three of the four significant cut-off values were present, the probability of developing SOS was more than 70%. The probability of SOS was 96%, if all four laboratory parameters were changed according to the cut-off values. The values of factor XIII, von Willebrand factor (vWF), von Willebrand factor activity (vWF activity), protein S, fibrinogen, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were not relevant for the occurrence of SOS. CONCLUSION In summary, the laboratory parameters INR, aPTT, protein C, and ferritin were very useful to predict the occurrence of SOS. In addition, this is the first report on a significant association between SOS and high values of INR and aPTT after HSCT before SOS.
