Reduced Intensity Conditioning Regimen for Bone Marrow Transplant in Children with Immune Deficiency: Managing Complications and Improving Outcomes Presented by Gretchen Vaughn, RN, MSN, CPNP Immunology / Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse Practitioner Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
BMT for Immune Disorders 2006-2008 • SCID - 7 • NEMO – 4 • CGD - 8 • CID - 8 • WAS - 9 • HLH - 14 • XLP – 6 • Others (IPEX, LCH, ALPS) - 7
Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis HLH: is a condition of abnormal cytotoxic functions which result in excessive and prolonged immune activation, usually fatal if untreated There are many genetic causes of HLH Familial HLH: PRF1, Munc 13-4, STX-11 XLP: SH2D1A, BIRC4 HCT is the only cure for these disorders
Background Results of ‘conventional’ myeloablative chemotherapy pre-HCT for HLH are suboptimal Patients with active diseaseat the time of HCT fare poorly Early treatment related mortality (as defined by death within 100 days of transplant) is a major cause of treatment failure
Background CONVENTIONAL APPROACH (Bu/Cy/+ VP-16) HLH94, n=108 * - 70% DFS at 5 years with Matched Sibling and Matched Unrelated Donor - 50% DFS at 5 years with Mismatched Unrelated Donor - Most fatalities occurred within the first 100 days CIBMTR Analysis, n=53** - 35% rate of mortality by day 100 *Horne et al, BJM, 2006 **Baker et al, ASH, 2006
Background For The Use of Reduced Intensity Conditioning Pilot data for use of RIC (Campath/Flu/Mel) Great Ormond Street Hosp., UK -12 pts, mixed diagnoses; 8 in clinical remission - 9 survive – 3 are mixed chimeras * Cooper et al, Blood, 2006
Treatment Campath 1-H*: subQ or IV on 4 consecutive days “proximal” - doses revised October, 07; -timing changed May, 2008 to start day -22 “distal” as an option Fludarabine*: 30 mg/m2 IV on 5 consecutive days, -8 to -4 Melphalan*: 140 mg/m2 IV once, on day -3 GvHD Prophylaxis: CsA/FK506 and steroids 1mg/kg/day *Doses adjusted per kg if patient < 10 kg
Outcomes Summary - CCHMC Experience Engraftment: total range 21-100% donor 10/14 HLH patients with failure to maintain engraftment received donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) 1/6 XLP patients received DLI
Outcomes Summary CCHMC Experience GvH skin - - 1/20 grade 3 without DLI - 3/20 grade 2-3 post DLI GI GvH - 2/20 with grade 3 post DLI
Outcomes Summary CCHMC Experience Minimal organ toxicity for all Survival – 19/20 alive 4-30 months post transplant Immune reconstitution – 1 year post: - most patients have normal T cell numbers and function (mitogens) - most patients remain on IVIG replacement with good progress toward B cell reconstitution
Future Implications Long term monitoring of donor versus recipient lymphocyte populations is needed as well as determination of “functional engraftment” How much engraftment is enough?
