Background: We retrospectively analyzed the data of children with non-malignant diseases who have received a haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant (haplo-HSCT). A total of 31 haplo-HSCT were performed in 26 pediatric patients using ex vivo T cell-depleted (TCD) graft platforms or post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) from January 2001 to December 2016 in 7 Spanish centres. Procedure: A total of five cases were unmanipulated PT-Cy haplo-HSCT, sixteen received highly purified CD34+ cells, ten were ex vivo TCD graft manipulated either with CD3+CD19+ depletion (n= 1), TCΡαβ+CD19+ selection (n= 7) or naive CD45RA+ T cells depletion (n=2). Peripheral blood stem cells were the only source in patients following TCD haplo-HSCT, and bone marrow was the source for one PT-Cy haplo-HSCT. The most common indications for transplant were primary immune deficiency disorders (PIDs) 18, severe aplastic anemia (SAA) 4, osteopetrosis 2 and thalassemia 2. Results: The 1-year cumulative incidence of graft failure was 27.4 %. The 1-year III-IV acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) and 1-year chronic graft versus host disease (cGvHD) were 34.6% and 16.7% respectively. Besides, the 2-year overall survival (OS) and the 2-year GvHD-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS) were 44.9% for PIDS and 37.6% for the other NMDs. The TRM at day 100 was 30.8%. Conclusions : These results are discouraged and need to be improved to offer a guaranteed
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
