Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus (Tac), and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for allogeneic haploidentical donor (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) results in comparable outcomes to matched unrelated donor HCT. A phase II study from the Moffitt Cancer Center substituting sirolimus (Siro) for Tac in this prophylactic regimen reported comparable rates of grade II-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD). Many centers have substituted Siro for Tac in this setting based on a preferable side effect profile, although comparative data are limited. In this study, we retrospectively compared outcomes in haplo-HCT with PTCy/Siro/MMF versus haplo-HCT with PTCy/Tac/MMF. The study cohort included all consecutive patients receiving haploidentical donor T cell-replete peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) HCT for hematologic malignancies at Moffitt Cancer Center or the City of Hope National Medical Center between 2014 and 2019. A total of 423 patients were included, of whom 84 (20%) received PTCy/Siro/MMF and 339 (80%) received PTCy/Tac/MMF. The median age for the entire cohort was 54 years (range, 18 to 78 years), and the median follow-up was 30 months. The Siro group had a higher proportion of patients age ≥60 years (58% versus 34%; P < .01), and the groups also differed in diagnosis type, conditioning regimen, and cytomegalovirus serostatus. There were no significant differences in the rates of grade II-IV aGVHD (45% versus 47%; P = .6) at day +100 or chronic GVHD (cGVHD) (47% versus 54%; P = .79) at 2 years post-HCT. In multivariate analysis, neutrophil engraftment at day +30 was significantly better in the Tac group (odds ratio, .30; 95% confidence interval, .1 to .83; P = .02), with a median time to engraftment of 17 days versus 18 days in the Siro group, but platelet engraftment was similar in the 2 groups. Otherwise, in multivariate analysis, GVHD prophylaxis type had no significant influence on aGVHD or cGVHD, nonrelapse mortality, relapse, GVHD-free relapse-free survival, disease-free survival, or overall survival after PBSC haplo-HCT. These findings suggest that Siro is a comparable alternative to Tac in combination with PTCy/MMF for GVHD prophylaxis, with overall similar clinical outcomes despite delayed engraftment after peripheral blood stem cell haplo-HCT. Although Tac remains the standard of care, Siro may be substituted based on the side effect profile of these medications, with consideration of patient medical comorbidities at HCT.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) has been used as cellular immunotherapy against hematological cancers for more than six decades. Its therapeutic efficacy relies on the cytoreductive effects of the conditioning regimen but also on potent graft-versus-tumor (GVT) reactions mediated by donor-derived immune cells. However, beneficial GVT effects may be counterbalanced by acute GVHD (aGVHD), a systemic syndrome in which donor immune cells attack healthy tissues of the recipient, resulting in severe inflammatory lesions mainly of the skin, gut, and liver. Despite standard prophylaxis regimens, aGVHD still occurs in approximately 20–50% of alloHCT recipients and remains a leading cause of transplant-related mortality. Over the past two decades, advances in the understanding its pathophysiology have helped to redefine aGVHD reactions and clinical presentations as well as developing novel strategies to optimize its prevention. In this review, we provide a brief overview of current knowledge on aGVHD immunopathology and discuss current approaches and novel strategies being developed and evaluated in clinical trials for aGVHD prevention. Optimal prophylaxis of aGVHD would prevent the development of clinically significant aGVHD, while preserving sufficient immune responsiveness to maintain beneficial GVT effects and immune defenses against pathogens.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies addressing the utilization of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (CY) as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation from matched sibling donors are limited and with controversial results. Chronic GVHD incidence necessitating systemic treatment is around 35% in peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling donors. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this study, high-dose CY was added to PBSCT aiming to reduce the incidence of GVHD to reach a lower figure compared with standard GVHD prophylaxis. Fifty-two patients with either benign or malignant hematologic disorders who underwent stem cell transplantation at Nasser Institute Hospital in Egypt from November 2017 to October 2018 were enrolled in this study. Fifty patients had fully human leukocyte antigen-matched siblings, whereas the remaining 2 patients had 1 locus class I mismatched donors. Pre-transplant conditioning regimen was fludarabine and busulfan (FLU/BU) in malignant cases (73.1%) and FLU/CY in benign hematologic disorders (26.9%) and 1 patient with hypocellular myelodysplastic syndrome. For GVHD prophylaxis, CY was given at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day on days 3 and 4 post-transplantation, and cyclosporine (CSA) starting day 5 in 96.1% of patients. For the 1-locus mismatched patients, both CSA and mycophenolate mofetil were administered starting day 5. RESULTS The 1-year incidence of acute GVHD (aGVHD) was 15.3% and for chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was 13.4%. Historical data of GVHD prophylaxis at our center using CSA and methotrexate showed an incidence of 37% for aGVHD and 33.9% for cGVHD. CONCLUSIONS Post-transplant CY GVHD prophylaxis led to significantly less aGVHD (P = .03) and cGVHD (P = .04).

Abstract
Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) is a widely accepted part of the conditioning regimen applied in the setting of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to prevent graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease. Although weight-based dosing of ATG has been introduced to optimize ATG dosing, substantial variance in clearance of active ATG, the actual lymphocyte binding component, remains a challenge. Therefore, further research regarding ATG pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in different HSCT settings and in patients with different types of underlying diseases is required.

Abstract
Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) in pediatric patients (ie, children and adolescent and young adults) and limits broader application of the therapy. Pediatric HCT patients have faced major obstacles to access clinical trials that test new agents for GVHD prevention and treatment. According to a recent search, only 6 clinical trials of interventions for prevention or treatment of acute GVHD were conducted specifically in pediatric patients in the United States over the past decade, with 8 internationally. In this review, we summarize the studies that were performed and specifically enrolled and reported on pediatric patients after allogeneic HCT and provide a listing of studies currently under way.

Abstract
Allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) remains the only treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with curative potential. Although post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) reduces allo-BMT toxicity by decreasing the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), its effect on CLL allo-BMT outcomes is unknown. We studied 64 consecutive patients with CLL who underwent nonmyeloablative (NMA) haploidentical allo-BMT at Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. In this cohort, the 4-year overall survival was 52% (95% confidence interval [CI], 40% to 68%), and progression-free survival was 37% (95% CI, 26% to 54%). Six patients experienced engraftment failure. PTCy prophylaxis was associated with a modest cumulative incidence of 1-year grade II-IV acute GVHD (27%; %95% CI, 15% to 38%) and %%%2-year chronic GVHD (17%; 95% CI, 7% to 26%). We demonstrate that NMA haploidentical allo-BMT with PTCy is a safe and effective treatment option.

Abstract
GATA2 deficiency, first described in 2011, is a bone marrow failure disorder resulting in a complex haematological and immunodeficiency syndrome characterised by cytopenias, severe infections, myelodysplasia and leukaemia. The only curative treatment is allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Although knowledge on this syndrome has greatly expanded, in clinical practice many challenges remain. In particular, guidelines on optimal donor and stem cell source and conditioning regimens regarding HSCT are lacking. Additionally, genetic analysis of GATA2 is technically cumbersome and could easily result in false-negative results. With this report, we wish to raise awareness of these pitfalls amongst physicians dealing with haematological malignancies and primary immunodeficiencies.
