Abstract
Children who are immune compromised are uniquely threatened by a higher risk of infections, including vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs). Children who undergo chemotherapy or cellular therapies may not have preexisting immunity to VPDs at the time of their treatment including not yet receiving their primary vaccine series, and additionally they have higher risk of exposures (e.g., due to family structures, daycare and school setting) with decreased capacity to protect themselves using nonpharmaceutic measures (e.g., masking). In the past, efforts to revaccinate these children have often been delayed or incomplete. Treatment with chemotherapy, stem cell transplants, and/or cellular therapies impair the ability of the immune system to mount a robust vaccine response. Ideally, protection would be provided as soon as both safe and effective, which will vary by vaccine type (e.g., replicating versus nonreplicating; conjugated versus polysaccharide). While a single approach revaccination schedule following these therapies would be convenient for providers, it would not account for patient specific factors that influence the timing of immune reconstitution (IR). Evidence suggests that many of these children would mount a meaningful vaccine response as early as 3 months following completion of treatment. Here within, we provide updated guidance on how to approach vaccination both during and following completion of these therapies.

Abstract
Allogeneic cell therapies, defined by genetically mismatched transplantation, have the potential to become a cost-effective solution for cell-based cancer immunotherapy. However, this type of therapy is often accompanied by the development of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), induced by the mismatched major histocompatibility complex (MHC) between healthy donors and recipients, leading to severe complications and death. To address this issue and increase the potential for allogeneic cell therapies in clinical practice, minimizing GvHD is a crucial challenge. Innate T cells, encompassing subsets of T lymphocytes including mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, and gamma delta T (γδ T) cells, offer a promising solution. These cells express MHC-independent T-cell receptors (TCRs), allowing them to avoid MHC recognition and thus GvHD. This review examines the biology of these three innate T-cell populations, evaluates research on their roles in GvHD modulation and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo HSCT), and explores the potential futures for these therapies.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a well-established curative therapy for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) when using a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling donor. Most patients with SCD do not have a matched sibling donor, thereby significantly limiting the accessibility of this curative option to most patients. HLA-haploidentical HSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide expands the donor pool, with current approaches now demonstrating high overall survival, reduced toxicity, and an effective reduction in acute and chronic graft-vs.-host disease (GvHD). Alternatively, autologous genetic therapies appear promising and have the potential to overcome significant barriers associated with allogeneic HSCT, such as donor availability and GvHD. Here the authors each take a viewpoint and discuss what will be the future of curative options for patients with SCD outside of a matched sibling transplantation, specifically haploidentical HSCT vs. gene therapy.

Abstract
Risk factors and outcomes of GF after TCD haploidentical transplantation in children with hematological malignancies were analyzed. 148 TCD transplants were included. 78 patients were diagnosed of ALL and 70 patients of AML. 22 out of 148 patients developed GF. MVA showed that patient <9 years (HR: 5.0; 95% CI: 1.1-23.0; p = 0.03) and pre-transplant CD8+ ≥150/µL (HR: 12.0; 95% CI: 1.6-95.3; p = 0.01) were associated with GF. A score was assigned to each patient. The cumulative incidence of GF for patients with CD8+ ≥150/µL (2 points) was 6 ± 4% and 3 ± 2% for patients <9 years (1 point) while for patients with 3 points was 24 ± 6%, With a median follow-up of 48 months (range; 4-180 months), 14 (64%) of 22 patients with GF are alive and disease-free. DFS for GF patients was 53 ± 12%. In conclusion, patient age and pre-transplant CD3+/CD8+ are associated with GF in children undergoing TCD haploidentical transplantation.

Infection-Related Mortality in Adults and Children Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: An Australian Registry Report. Transplant Cell Ther 2021; 27:798.e1-798.e10. [PMID: 34111574 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2021.05.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Infection-related mortality (IRM) is the most common non-relapse-related cause of death reported after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Information on the incidence and timing of specific infective organisms and the risk factors for IRM is essential to developing prevention strategies. This report provides the first account of IRM in adults and children undergoing HCT in Australia. Between 2013 and 2018, 2705 adult and 689 pediatric first HCTs were identified from the Australasian Bone Marrow Transplant Recipient Registry database, associated with 1075 (39.7%) total overall deaths in adults and 134 (19.4%) in children. Demographics and causes of death, including infectious etiology and causative organisms, were extracted from the database for adults and children for analysis. At day +100 and 1 year post-HCT, IRM was the leading cause of early post-HCT mortality in adults, accounting for 6.2% and 9.8%, respectively; in children, IRM was the leading cause of post-HCT mortality at day +100 at 2.5% and the second highest cause of post-HCT mortality at 1 year post-HCT at 4.9%, following relapse at 5.8%. In adults, older age, transplantation not in a first complete remission (non-CR1), the use of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or alemtuzumab, donor-positive/recipient-negative cytomegalovirus (CMV) serostatus, and acute graft-versus-host disease were significant risk factors for IRM. However, in children, age >5 years, acute lymphocytic leukemia as the primary disease, and mismatched unrelated or haploidentical donor source were predictive of IRM. Of the deaths in which an infectious etiology was reported in adults (52.4%), 49.3% were attributed to bacteria, 25.3% to fungus, 21.7% to viruses, and 3.6% to post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). The most common organisms were Pseudomonas spp, Enterococcus spp, Candida spp, Aspergillus spp, and CMV. In children where an infectious etiology was reported (64%), 13% were attributed to bacteria, 26% to fungus, 45% to viruses, and 16% to PTLD. This report highlights that IRM was the leading cause of death early post-HCT in Australia. Strategies to reduce IRM, such as individualized pre-transplantation infection risk assessment, rapid diagnostics, and prevention management strategies should be explored to determine whether these outcomes can be improved. In addition, improving the completeness and accuracy of reported data, particularly for infectious pathogens, could assist in directing management strategies to reduce IRM in HCT.

Plerixafor-based mobilization in pediatric healthy donors with unfavorable donor/recipient body weight ratio resulted in a better CD34 + collection yield: A retrospective analysis. J Clin Apher 2020; 36:78-86.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In order to propose risk-adapted mobilization algorithms, several authors have tried to look for predictive factors of the CD34+ yield in healthy pediatric donors. Donor recipient body weight ratio (D/R ratio) was identified as one of the main variables related with the success to achieve the target cell dose for transplantation. According to this variable we modified the mobilization schedule. MATERIAL AND METHODS We report the results of 46 mobilizations and apheresis procedures performed in our center with unfavorable D/R ratio. Mobilization was attempted by the standard regime of G-CSF (10 mcg/kg/24 hours) in 28 cases (60.9%), with high dose G-CSF (10 mcg/kg/12 hours) in 9 cases (19.6%), and with plerixafor and G-CSF single dose regime in 9 cases (19.6%). RESULTS CD34+ cell quantification before apheresis is closely related to CD34+ yield, being the only factor related to collected CD34+ cells (beta .71; P < .0001). The mobilization efficiency was higher in plerixafor group compared to the other two schedules (P < .0001). By using plerixafor for mobilization, we achieved the target CD34+ cell dose of ≥2 × 106 /kg per recipient body weight in all cases with unfavorable D/R ratio. It was observed that 17.4% of cases that not reached the established target cell dose were located in the standard or high-dose mobilization regimes. This difference is even greater for optimal collections (≥5 × 106 /kg), since of the 54.3% cases that did not reach this goal none was mobilized by plerixafor. CONCLUSION Tailoring the mobilization regime we can reach the target cell dose, even in those cases with the worst D/R ratio.

Abstract
Unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is increasingly being used to cure nonmalignant hematologic diseases (NMHD) in patients who lack HLA matched related donors. Both graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remain major barriers to safe and effective transplant for these patients requiring unrelated donors. Partial T cell depletion combined with peripheral stem cell transplantation (pTCD-PSCT) has the potential advantages of providing a high stem cell dose to facilitate rapid engraftment, maintaining cells that may facilitate engraftment, and decreasing GVHD risk compared with T cell-replete HSCT. Here, we report a single-institution, retrospective experience of unrelated donor pTCD-PSCT for pediatric patients with NMHD. From 2014 to 2017, 12 pediatric patients with transfusion-dependent NMHD underwent matched unrelated donor (MUD) or mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) pTCD HSCT in our center using disease-specific conditioning. Donor PSCs underwent CD3+ T cell and CD19+ B cell depletion using CliniMACS, followed by a targeted addback of 1 × 105 CD3+ T cells/kg to the graft before infusion. All 12 patients demonstrated rapid trilinear engraftment. At a median follow-up of 740days (range, 279 to 1466), all patients were alive with over 92% total peripheral blood donor chimerism and without transfusion dependence or recurrence of their underlying hematologic disease. Immune reconstitution was rapid and comparable with T cell-replete HSCT. No patients developed severe acute GVHD (grades III to IV) or chronic extensive GVHD, and all patients had discontinued systemic immune suppression. Viral reactivations were common, but no patient developed symptoms of life-threatening infectious disease. Our data indicate that MUD and MMUD pTCD-PSCTs are safe and effective approaches that enable rapid engraftment and immune reconstitution, prevent severe GVHD, and expand availability of HSCT to any patients with NMHD who have closely MUDs.

Abstract
Rapid immune reconstitution (IR) following stem cell transplantation (SCT) is essential for a favorable outcome. The optimization of graft composition should not only enable a sufficient IR but also improve graft vs. leukemia/tumor effects, overcome infectious complications and, finally, improve patient survival. Especially in haploidentical SCT, the optimization of graft composition is controversial. Therefore, we analyzed the influence of graft manipulation on IR in 40 patients with acute leukemia in remission. We examined the cell recovery post haploidentical SCT in patients receiving a CD34+-selected or CD3/CD19-depleted graft, considering the applied conditioning regimen. We used joint model analysis for overall survival (OS) and analyzed the dynamics of age-adjusted leukocytes; lymphocytes; monocytes; CD3+, CD3+CD4+, and CD3+CD8+ T cells; natural killer (NK) cells; and B cells over the course of time after SCT. Lymphocytes, NK cells, and B cells expanded more rapidly after SCT with CD34+-selected grafts (P = 0.036, P = 0.002, and P < 0.001, respectively). Contrarily, CD3+CD4+ helper T cells recovered delayer in the CD34 selected group (P = 0.026). Furthermore, reduced intensity conditioning facilitated faster immune recovery of lymphocytes and T cells and their subsets (P < 0.001). However, the immune recovery for NK cells and B cells was comparable for patients who received reduced-intensity or full preparative regimens. Dynamics of all cell types had a significant influence on OS, which did not differ between patients receiving CD34+-selected and those receiving CD3/CD19-depleted grafts. In conclusion, cell reconstitution dynamics showed complex diversity with regard to the graft manufacturing procedure and conditioning regimen.

Abstract
The use of oral poliovirus vaccine in a worldwide scale has led to a 99.9% decrease in annual incidence of wild-type poliomyelitis and the eradication of serotype 2 poliovirus. However, the emergence of vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) is endangering the eradication program. Patients with combined immunodeficiencies are at increased risk of both vaccine-associated poliomyelitis and prolonged asymptomatic infection with immunodeficiency-associated VDPVs (iVDPVs). Herein, we present a severe combined immunodeficiency patient with prolonged and asymptomatic iVDPV infection. He continued to shed poliovirus during immunoglobulin replacement therapy and cleared the infection following successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To explain the efficiency of HSCT in clearing the infection, we reviewed the literature for all reports of HSCT in iVDPV-excreting patients and discussed novel ideas about the role of different immune mechanisms, including cell-mediated interactions, in mounting immune responses against poliovirus infections. This study could provide further insights into the immune mechanisms contributing to the clearance of enteroviral infections.

Abstract
Background Epidemiologic studies of human adenovirus (HAdV) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients have been conducted mostly in European countries where HAdV 2 (species C) has been most prevalent in the community. The main objective of this study was to investigate the epidemiology and the characteristics of HAdV infection in Korean allogeneic HCT recipients (<19 years). Methods In a prospective study from April 2012 to September 2015, HAdV in blood, urine, and stool specimens were monitored weekly from transplantation to day 100 or after if clinically suspected. HAdV infection was defined as positive HAdV PCR result in any specimens regardless of symptoms. Results A total of 1734 specimens were collected from 57 consecutively enrolled recipients. The cumulative incidence of HAdV infection at day 100, and 1 year was 10%, and 20%, and the incidence of viremia was 2% and 6%, respectively. The median onset time from HCT to viremia was 221 days (range, 7‐596 days). All viremia cases were caused by only HAdV 3 (species B), whereas several types were detected in stool. Among patients with HAdV infection, lower absolute lymphocyte counts and extensive chronic graft‐vs‐host disease were associated with viremia (P = .028 and P = .006, respectively). Conclusions Compared to western studies, this study demonstrated a lower incidence and delayed onset of HAdV infections and HAdV 3 was most prevalent in Korea.

Abstract
CD34+ cell selection minimizes graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after haploidentical donor stem cell transplant but is associated with slow immune recovery and infections. We report a Phase I/II study of prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) followed by methotrexate (MTX) GVHD prophylaxis after CD34-selected haploidentical donor transplant. A prophylactic DLI was given between day +30 and +42. Rituximab was given with DLI for the last 10 patients. The goal of the study was to determine a DLI dose that would result in a CD4+ cell count > 100/µL at Day +120 in ≥ 66% of patients with ≤ 33% grade II-III, ≤ 17% grade III, and no grade IV acute GVHD by Day +180. Thirty-five patients with malignant (n = 25) or nonmalignant disease (n = 10) were treated after CD34-selected haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant. The DLI dose of 5 × 104 /kg met the CD4/GVHD goal with 67% of patients having CD4+ cells > 100/µL and 11% grade II-IV acute GVHD. The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 16%. Fatal viral and fungal infections occurred in 11%. The 2 year estimated overall survival was 69% and the relapse rate was 14% for patients in remission at transplant. There was no effect of NK alloreactivity on relapse. Nine of ten patients at the target DLI dose cohort of 5 × 104 /kg are alive with median follow-up of 18 mos (range 6-29). Delayed prophylactic DLI and MTX was associated with promising outcomes at the target DLI dose. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov, # NCT01027702.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment option for children with malignant and non-malignant disorders as well as an expanding number of inherited disorders. However, only a limited portion of patients in the need of an allograft have an HLA-compatible, either related or unrelated, donor. Haploidentical HSCT is now considered a valid treatment option, especially in view of the recent insights in terms of graft manipulation. This review will offer an overview of clinical results obtained through the use of haploidentical HSCT in non-malignant diseases. We will analyze major advantages and drawbacks of both T cell depleted and unmanipulated HSCT, discussing future challenges for further improving patients' outcome. RECENT FINDINGS T cell depletion (TCD) aims to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). However, the delayed immune recovery and the risk of graft failure still remain potential problems. In the last years, the use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide has been shown to be an alternative effective strategy to prevent GvHD in recipients of haploidentical HSCT. Recent data suggest that both T cell depleted and T cell-replete haplo-HSCT are suitable options to treat children with several types of non-malignant disorders lacking an HLA-identical donor.

Abstract
Red cell alloimmunization may induce severe hemolytic side effects. Identification of risk-modifying conditions will help tailor preventative strategies. This study aims to quantify the associations of hematologic malignancies and solid cancers with red cell alloimmunization in patients receiving red cell transfusions. We performed a nested multicenter case-control study in a source population of 24,063 patients receiving their first and subsequent red cell transfusions during an 8-year follow-up period. Cases (n=505), defined as patients developing a first transfusion-induced red cell alloantibody, were each compared with 2 non-alloimmunized controls (n=1010) who received a similar number of red cell units. Using multivariate logistic regression analyses, we evaluated the association of various malignancies and treatment regimens with alloimmunization during a delineated 5-week risk period. The incidence of alloimmunization among patients with acute (myeloid or lymphoid) leukemia and mature (B- or T-cell) lymphoma was significantly reduced compared to patients without these malignancies: adjusted relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.36 (range 0.19-0.68) and 0.30 (range 0.12-0.81). Associations were primarily explained by immunosuppressive treatments [RR for (any type of) chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy 0.27 (95%CI: 0.09-0.83)]. Alloimmunization risks were similarly diminished in allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplanted patients (RR 0.34, 95%CI: 0.16-0.74), at least during the six months post transplant. Alloimmunization risks of patients with other hematologic diseases or solid cancers, and their associated treatment regimens were similar to risks in the general transfused population. Our findings suggest that, in contrast to malignancies in general, hemato-oncological patients treated with dose-intensive regimens have strongly diminished risk of red cell alloimmunization.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for children and adolescents with various malignant and non-malignant diseases. While human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donor is the preferred choice, matched unrelated volunteer donor is another realistic option for successful HSCT. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to find a HLA-matched donor for patients requiring HSCT, leading to a considerable number of deaths of patients without undergoing transplantation. Alternatively, allogeneic HSCT from haploidentical family members could provide donors for virtually all patients who need HSCT. Although the early attempts at allogeneic HSCT from haploidentical family donor (HFD) were disappointing, recent advances in the effective ex vivo depletion of T cells or unmanipulated in vivo regulation of T cells, better supportive care, and optimal conditioning regimens have significantly improved the outcomes of haploidentical HSCT. The ex vivo techniques used to remove T cells have evolved from the selection of CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell progenitors to the depletion of CD3+ cells, and more recently to the depletion of αβ+ T cells. The recent emerging evidence for ex vivo T cell-depleted haploidentical HSCT has provided additional therapeutic options for pediatric patients with diseases curable by HSCT but has not found a suitable related or unrelated donor. This review discusses recent advances in haploidentical HSCT, focusing on transplant using ex vivo T cell-depleted grafts. In addition, our experiences with this novel approach for the treatment of pediatric patients with malignant and non-malignant diseases are described.

Abstract
We evaluated the depletion of TCR-alpha/beta cells from the graft of children with high-risk AML, who received transplantation from unrelated (n=20) and haploidentical donors (n=13). The preparative regimen included treosulfan, melphalan, fludarabine and anti-thymocyte globulin. Grafts were PBSC engineered by TCR-alpha/beta and CD19 depletion. The graft contained a median of 9 × 10(6)/kg of CD34+ and 20 × 10(3)/kg of αβ-T cells. Post-transplant immune suppression included tacrolimus till day +30 and Mtx in 21 patients, tacrolimus in 5, Mtx in 2 and no prophylaxis in 5 patients. Sixteen patients received native or TCR-alpha/beta-depleted donor lymphocytes at a median of 47 (40-204) days. Median follow-up is 1.76 years. Primary engraftment was achieved in 33 patients (100%). Cumulative incidence of acute GvHD (aGvHD) grade 2-3 was 39 (26-60)%, half of them had skin-only aGvHD. Cumulative incidence of chronic GvHD was 30(18-50)%. Transplant-related mortality is 10(4-26)%. Event-free survival (EFS) is 60(43-76)% and overall survival (OS) is 67(50-84)% at 2 years. In a subgroup of patients, who received transplantation in CR, EFS is 66(48-84)% and OS-72(53-90)% at 2 years. Our data suggest that TCR-alpha/beta and CD19 depletion is a robust method of graft manipulation, which can be used to engineer grafts for children with AML.

Abstract
Allogeneic (allo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has evolved into a potent curative treatment option for a variety of malignant and nonmalignant diseases. The occurrence of complications and mortality after allo-HCT is, however, still high and is strongly associated with immune reconstitution (IR). Therefore, detailed information on IR through immunomonitoring is crucial to improve survival chances after HCT. To date, information about the reconstituting immune system after allo-HCT in pediatric patients is mostly derived from routine standard-of-care measurements. More profound knowledge on IR may provide tools to better predict and modulate adverse reactions and, subsequently, improve survival chances. Here, we provide an overview of IR (eg, immune cell subsets and circulating chemokines/cytokines) after allo-HCT in children, taking into account different cell sources and serotherapy, and discuss strategies to enhance immunomonitoring. We conclude that available IR data after allo-HCT contain limited information on immune cell families (mostly only generic T, B, and NK cells), which would improve with more detailed information on reconstituting cell subsets or effector cell functionality at earlier time points (<1 month). In addition, secretome data (eg, multiplex cytokine/chemokine profiles) could add to the understanding of IR mechanisms and cell functionality and may even provide (early) biomarkers for individual disease outcome, such as viral reactivity, graft-versus-host disease, or graft-versus-leukemia. The present data and suggestions for more detailed, standardized, and harmonized immunomonitoring in future (pediatric) allo-HCT studies will pave the path to "precision transplantation:" an individualized HCT approach (including conditioning), based on detailed information on IR and biomarkers, aiming to reduce transplantation related mortality and relapse, and subsequently improve survival chances.

Abstract
We herein describe a case of a 17-year-old boy with intractable common warts, short stature, microcephaly and slowly-progressing pancytopenia. Simultaneous quantification of T-cell receptor recombination excision circles (TREC) and immunoglobulin κ-deleting recombination excision circles (KREC) suggested very poor generation of both T-cells and B-cells. By whole exome sequencing, novel compound heterozygous mutations were identified in the patient's DNA ligase IV (LIG4) gene. The diagnosis of LIG4 syndrome was confirmed by delayed DNA double-strand break repair kinetics in γ-irradiated fibroblasts from the patient and their restoration by an introduction of wild-type LIG4. Although the patient received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from his haploidentical mother, he unfortunately expired due to an insufficiently reconstructed immune system. An earlier definitive diagnosis using TREC/KREC quantification and whole exome sequencing would thereby allow earlier intervention, which would be essential for improving long-term survival in similar cases with slowly-progressing LIG4 syndrome masked in adolescents.
