ABSTRACT

We report on the outcome of 24 patients with Fanconi anemia (FA) lacking an HLA matched related or unrelated donor, given an HLA-haploidentical T-cell receptor αβ (TCRαβ+) and CD19+ cell-depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in the context of a prospective, single-center phase 2 trial. Sustained primary engraftment was achieved in 22 (91.6%) of 24 patients, with median time to neutrophil recovery of 12 days (range, 9-15 days) and platelet recovery of 10 days (range, 7-14 days). Cumulative incidences of grade 1 to 2 acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and chronic GVHD were 17.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.5%-35.5%) and 5.5% (95% CI, 0.8%-33.4%), respectively. The conditioning regimen, which included fludarabine, low-dose cyclophosphamide and, in most patients, single-dose irradiation was well tolerated; no fatal transplant-related toxicity was observed. With a median follow-up of 5.2 years (range, 0.3-8.7 years), the overall and event-free survival probabilities were 100% and 86.3% (95% CI, 62.8%-95.4%), respectively (2 graft failures and 1 case of poor graft function were considered as events). The 2 patients who experienced primary graft failure underwent a subsequent successful HSCT from the other parent. This is the first report of FA patients given TCRαβ+/CD19+-depleted haplo-HSCT in the context of a prospective trial, and the largest series of T-cell-depleted haplo-HSCT in FA reported to date. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01810120.
