ERS/EBMT clinical practice guidelines on treatment of pulmonary chronic graft- versus-host disease in adults. Eur Respir J 2024; 63:2301727. [PMID: 38485149 DOI: 10.1183/13993003.01727-2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) is a common complication after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, characterised by a broad disease spectrum that can affect virtually any organ. Although pulmonary cGvHD is a less common manifestation, it is of great concern due to its severity and poor prognosis. Optimal management of patients with pulmonary cGvHD is complicated and no standardised approach is available. The purpose of this joint European Respiratory Society (ERS) and European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation task force was to develop evidence-based recommendations regarding the treatment of pulmonary cGvHD phenotype bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome in adults. A multidisciplinary group representing specialists in haematology, respiratory medicine and methodology, as well as patient advocates, formulated eight PICO (patient, intervention, comparison, outcome) and two narrative questions. Following the ERS standardised methodology, we conducted systematic reviews to address these questions and used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach to develop recommendations. The resulting guideline addresses common therapeutic options (inhalation therapy, fluticasone-azithromycin-montelukast, imatinib, ibrutinib, ruxolitinib, belumosudil, extracorporeal photopheresis and lung transplantation), as well as other aspects of general management, such as lung functional and radiological follow-up and pulmonary rehabilitation, for adults with pulmonary cGvHD phenotype bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. These recommendations include important advancements that could be incorporated in the management of adults with pulmonary cGvHD, primarily aimed at improving and standardising treatment and improving outcomes.

CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:1535. [PMID: 37761496 PMCID: PMC10530143 DOI: 10.3390/children10091535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Recipients of HSCT have a high risk of infective and non-infective pulmonary diseases. Most patients with pulmonary involvement present multiple pathogenetic mechanisms simultaneously with complex interactions. Therefore, it can be difficult to distinguish the contributions of each one and to perform studies on this subject. In this opinion article, we discuss only chronic pulmonary manifestations, focusing on LONIPCs (late-onset non-infectious pulmonary complications). This term embraces drug-related toxicity, allergies, and chronic pulmonary graft versus host disease (GvHD) in all its recently identified clinical variants. Among LONIPCs, GvHD represents the most critical in terms of morbidity and mortality, despite the rapid development of new treatment options. A recently emerging perspective suggests that pulmonary lung rejection in transplant patients shares striking similarities with the pathogenesis of GvHD. In a pulmonary transplant, the donor organ is damaged by the host immune system, whereas in GvHD, the donor immune system damages the host organs. It constitutes the most significant breakthrough in recent years and is highly promising for both hematologists and thoracic transplant surgeons. The number of patients with LONIPCs is scarce, with heterogenous clinical characteristics often involving several pathogenetic mechanisms, making it challenging to conduct randomized controlled trials. Therefore, the body of evidence in this field is scarce and generally of low quality, leading to jeopardized choices in terms of immunosuppressive treatment. Moreover, it risks being outdated by common practice due to the quick evolution of knowledge about the diagnosis and treatment of LONIPCs. The literature is even more pitiful for children with pulmonary involvement related to HSCT.

Abstract
Pulmonary complications may occur after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies. Lung transplantation is the only treatment option for end-stage lung failure. We presented a case of acute myeloid leukemia who received a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and underwent bilateral lung transplantation with end-stage usual interstitial pneumonia and chronic obstructive lung disease. This case showed that lung transplantation could be successfully applied in properly selected hematologic malignancy patients with long disease-free survival, like lung transplantations performed for other indications.

Abstract
Combined advances in haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and intensive care management have improved the survival of patients with haematological malignancies admitted to the intensive care unit. In cases of refractory respiratory failure or refractory cardiac failure, these advances have led to a renewed interest in advanced life support therapies, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), previously considered inappropriate for these patients due to their poor prognosis. Given the scarcity of evidence-based guidelines on the use of ECMO in patients receiving HCT and the need to provide equitable and sustainable access to ECMO, the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization, and the International ECMO Network aimed to develop an expert consensus statement on the use of ECMO in adult patients receiving HCT. A steering committee with expertise in ECMO and HCT searched the literature for relevant articles on ECMO, HCT, and immune effector cell therapy, and developed opinion statements through discussions following a Quaker-based consensus approach. An international panel of experts was convened to vote on these expert opinion statements following the Research and Development/University of California, Los Angeles Appropriateness Method. The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation statement was followed to prepare this Position Paper. 36 statements were drafted by the steering committee, 33 of which reached strong agreement after the first voting round. The remaining three statements were discussed by all members of the steering committee and expert panel, and rephrased before an additional round of voting. At the conclusion of the process, 33 statements received strong agreement and three weak agreement. This Position Paper could help to guide intensivists and haematologists during the difficult decision-making process regarding ECMO candidacy in adult patients receiving HCT. The statements could also serve as a basis for future research focused on ECMO selection criteria and bedside management.

Abstract
Use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in children receiving haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and immune effector cell therapy is controversial and evidence-based guidelines have not been established. Remarkable advancements in HCT and immune effector cell therapies have changed expectations around reversibility of organ dysfunction and survival for affected patients. Herein, members of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO), Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators (PALISI) Network (HCT and cancer immunotherapy subgroup), the Pediatric Diseases Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), the supportive care committee of the Pediatric Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Consortium (PTCTC), and the Pediatric Intensive Care Oncology Kids in Europe Research (POKER) group of the European Society of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) provide consensus recommendations on the use of ECMO in children receiving HCT and immune effector cell therapy. These are the first international, multidisciplinary consensus-based recommendations on the use of ECMO in this patient population. This Review provides a clinical decision support tool for paediatric haematologists, oncologists, and critical care physicians during the difficult decision-making process of ECMO candidacy and management. These recommendations can represent a base for future research studies focused on ECMO selection criteria and bedside management.

Abstract
Lung transplantation is an accepted therapeutic option for end-stage lung diseases. The imbalance between limited availability and vast need of donor organs necessitates careful selection of recipient candidates, ensuring the best possible utilization of the scarce resource of organs. Nonetheless, possible lung transplant candidates who could experience a meaningful improvement in survival and quality of life should not be excluded solely based on the complexity of their case. In this review, controversial issues or difficult limitations for lung transplantation, and new developments in recipient selection criteria, are discussed, which may help broaden recipient eligibility for lung transplantation without compromising long-term outcomes.

Favorable Outcome of Lung Transplantation for Severe Pulmonary Graft Versus Host Disease: An Australian Multicenter Case Series. Transplantation 2020; 103:2602-2607.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe pulmonary chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Few treatments influence outcome, with 5-year overall survival as low as 13%. Lung transplantation (LTx) has been reported in small numbers of patients worldwide. METHODS We investigated the outcomes of LTx performed for this indication at 2 large Australian LTx centers. RESULTS Eighteen patients (aged 10-64 y; median, 29.6 y) received bilateral deceased lung transplants for pulmonary chronic GVHD between 2002 and 2017. LTx was performed at a median of 8.6 years after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (range, 2-23 y) with a median interval of 16 months from the time of transplant unit review to LTx. There were 2 early infective deaths and 3 further deaths from pulmonary infection and lung allograft rejection. There were no primary disease relapses. At a median follow-up of 5 years, the 5-year overall survival post-LTx is 80% and comparable to the Australia and New Zealand registry data of 64% for LTx performed for all indications. CONCLUSIONS From one of the largest series of deceased LTx for this indication, we conclude that it is a feasible option for selected patients with severe pulmonary GVHD. The outcomes appear superior to that of non-LTx-based therapies and similar to the survival of the general LTx population. Establishing guidance on referral triggers, patient eligibility, organ selection, prophylaxis of allograft rejection, and supportive care would assist hematopoietic and lung transplant units in optimizing resource allocation and patient outcomes.
