Long-term outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for severe treatment-resistant autoimmune cytopenia in children.
Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation 2013 April
We analyzed the long-term outcomes of pediatric patients registered in the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation database who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for severe treatment refractory autoimmune cytopenia. With a median follow-up of 100 months, event-free survival was 54% overall, with no significant difference between allogeneic HSCT (n = 15) and autologous HSCT (n = 7) recipients (58% versus 42%; P = .50). Despite a trend toward failure of response or relapse after autologous HSCT compared with allogeneic HSCT, the difference was not significant (43% versus 13%; P = .30). Treatment-related mortality was high in both HSCT groups (29% and 16%; P = .09). Based on the limited numbers of subjects in this retrospective analysis, both allogeneic and autologous HSCT may induce complete and persistent responses in approximately one-half of pediatric patients with severe refractory autoimmune cytopenia, although treatment-related toxicity is high.
