Cerebral hemodynamic changes after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant in adults with sickle cell disease.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Preliminary evidence from a series of 4 adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) suggests that hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) improves cerebral hemodynamics. HSCT largely normalizes cerebral hemodynamics in children with SCD. We tested the hypothesis in adults with SCD that cerebral blood flow (CBF), oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) measured using magnetic resonance imaging, normalized to healthy values, comparing measurements from ∼1 month before to 12 to 24 months after HSCT (n = 11; age, 33.3 ± 8.9 years; 389 ± 150 days after HSCT) with age-, race- and sex-matched values from healthy adults without sickle trait (n = 28; age, 30.2 ± 5.6 years). Before transplant, 7 patients had neurological indications for transplant (eg, overt stroke) and 4 had nonneurological reasons for haploidentical bone marrow transplant (haplo-BMT). All received haplo-BMT from first-degree relatives (parent, sibling, or child donor) with reduced-intensity preparation and maintained engraftment. Before transplant, CBF was elevated (CBF, 69.11 ± 24.7 mL/100 g/min) compared with that of controls (P = .004). Mean CBF declined significantly after haplo-BMT (posttransplant CBF, 48.2 ± 13.9 mL/100 g/min; P = .003). OEF was not different from that of controls at baseline and did not change significantly after haplo-BMT (pretransplant, 43.1 ± 6.7%; posttransplant, 39.6 ± 7.0%; P = .34). After transplant, CBF and OEF were not significantly different from controls (CBF, 48.2 ± 13.4 mL/100 g/min; P = .78; and OEF, 39.6 ± 7.0%; P > .99). CMRO2 did not change significantly after haplo-BMT (pretransplant, 3.18 ± 0.87 mL O2/100 g/min; posttransplant, 2.95 ± 0.83; P = .56). Major complications of haplo-BMT included 1 infection-related death and 1 severe chronic graft-versus-host disease. Haplo-BMT in adults with SCD reduces CBF to that of control values and maintains OEF and CMRO2 on average at levels observed in healthy adult controls. The trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01850108.

Project description:Aims and objectives: Haploidentical transplants constitute a potential alternative therapy for patients who urgently need transplantation in the absence of human leukocyte antigen-matched donors. We report a single-center experience regarding the initial results of haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT) using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) at the HCMC Blood Transfusion Hematology (BTH) Hospital. Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series study of 23 patients who underwent haplo-PBSCT using PTCy at the HCMC BTH Hospital between January 2014 and January 2021. The refined disease risk index (DRI) was used to stratify the outcomes. We evaluated the engraftment rate, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and complications during haploidentical transplantation. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and GVHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) were assessed. Results: The majority of the patients in the present study were diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. All patients received reduced-intensity conditioning regimens. The engraftment rate was 86.9%. The median times to neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 17 and 31 days, respectively. Two patients (8.7%) reported severe acute GVHD (grade III-IV), while two patients (8.7%) had grade I-II acute GVHD. Three patients experienced limited chronic GVHD of the skin, requiring topical steroids. The most common complication was bloodstream infection (60.9%). Cytomegalovirus reactivation occurred in 19 patients (82.6%) and 17.4% developed hemorrhagic cystitis. The 1-year relapse rate was 32.5%. The cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality at 1 year was 17.3%. The 1-year OS and DFS rates were 66.3% and 55.7%, respectively. The 1-year GRFS rate was 49.2%. A high/very high DRI score was associated with worse OS after haplo-PBSCT (P=0.038). Conclusion: Haploidentical transplant using PTCy is a feasible therapy for patients without suitably matched donors in Vietnam. Infection after transplantation remains a challenge and requires effective management.
