Human leukocyte antigen 7/8-matched unrelated bone marrow transplantation using anti-thymocyte globulin in children.
International Journal of Hematology 2023 March 8
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatched unrelated donor transplantation is associated with an increased risk of graft-versus-host disease, graft failure, and infection, which increases post-transplant morbidity and mortality. In this single-center retrospective study, outcomes were evaluated in 30 consecutive children who underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from HLA 1 allele-mismatched (HLA 7/8-matched) unrelated donors with rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. The 3-year overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), and GVHD-relapse-free survival rates were 91.7% (95% CI 70.5%-91.9%), 88.3% (95% CI 67.5%-96.1%), and 73.9% (95% CI 52.4%-86.8%), respectively. Grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD occurred in 10 (33%) and 2 (7.0%) patients, respectively. The 3-year cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 7.8%. No fatal viral infections occurred. The study results show the feasibility of HLA 7/8-matched unrelated BMT with ATG to achieve favorable outcomes and acceptable GVHD, especially for patients who lack a fully matched donor.
