Abstract
Posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has practically revolutionized haploidentical (Haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Comparisons between Haplo with PTCy and unrelated donor (URD) with conventional graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis have shown comparable overall survival with lower incidences of GVHD with Haplo/PTCy and led to the following question: is it PTCy so good that can be successfully incorporated into matched related donor (MRD) and URD HCT? In this review, we discuss other ways of doing PTCy, PTCy in peripheral blood haploidentical transplants, PTCy in the context of matched related and matched unrelated donors, PTCy with mismatched unrelated donors, and PTCy following checkpoint inhibitor treatment. PTCy is emerging as a new standard GVHD prophylaxis in haploidentical, HLA-matched, and -mismatched HCT.

Abstract
Traditionally, bone marrow (BM) has been preferred as a source of stem cells (SCs) in pediatric hematopoietic SC transplantation (HSCT); however, the use of peripheral blood SCs (PBSC) has recently increased. With advancing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, whether the BM is still a better SC source than PB in sibling donor HSCT remains controversial. Here, we compared the results of BM transplantation (BMT) and PBSC transplantation (PBSCT) in pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant diseases receiving sibling HSCT using a total of 7.5 mg/kg of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). We retrospectively reviewed children who received HSCT from a sibling donor between 2005 and 2020 at Seoul National University Children's Hospital. Of the 86 patients, 40 underwent BMT, and 46 underwent PBSCT. Fifty- six patients had malignant diseases, whereas thirty patients had non-malignant diseases. All conditioning regimens comprised ATG. Busulfan-based myeloablative conditioning regimens were administered to patients with malignant diseases and approximately half of those with non-malignant diseases. The remaining half of the patients with non-malignant diseases were administered cyclophosphamide-based reduced- intensity conditioning regimens. According to studies conducted at our center, all BM donors received G-CSF before harvest to achieve early engraftment. In all 86 patients (47 males and 39 females), the median age at the time of HSCT was 11.4 (range, 0.7 - 24.6) years. The median follow-up period was 57.9 (range, 0.9-228.6) months, and the corresponding values for those with BM and PBSC were 77 (range, 2.4-228.6) months and 48.7 (range, 0.9-213.2) months, respectively. Engraftment failure occurred in one patient with BM and no patient with PBSC. The cumulative incidence of acute GVHD with grades II-IV was higher in PBSC (BM 2.5%, PBSC 26.1%, p = 0.002), but there was no significant difference in those with grades III-IV acute GVHD (BM 0%, PBSC 6.5%, p = 0.3703) and extensive chronic GVHD (BM 2.5%, PBSC 11.6%, p = 0.1004). There were no significant differences in treatment-related mortality (TRM) (BM 14.2%, PBSC 6.8%, p = 0.453), 5-year event-free survival (EFS) (BM 71.5%, PBSC 76.2%, p = 0.874), and overall survival (OS) rates (BM 80.8%, PBSC 80.3%, p = 0.867) between BM and PBSC in the univariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis, which included all factors with p < 0.50 in the univariate analysis, there was no significant prognostic factor for EFS or OS. There was no significant difference in the relapse incidence between BM and PBSC among patients with malignant diseases (BM 14.2%, PBSC 6.8%, p = 0.453). Additionally, there were no significant differences in the TRM, 5-year EFS, and OS rates between malignant and non-malignant diseases nor between the busulfan-based myeloablative regimen and reduced-intensity chemotherapy using cyclophosphamide. In this study, we showed no significant differences in EFS, OS, TRM, and GVHD, except for acute GVHD grades II-IV, between BMT and PBSCT from sibling donors, using ATG (a total of 7.5 mg/kg). Therefore, PB collection, which is less invasive for donors and less labor-intensive for doctors, could also be considered an acceptable SC source for sibling donor HSCT in children.

Abstract
Data comparing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using bone marrow (BM) or peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts in children after alemtuzumab-based conditioning are lacking. We investigated whether in vivo T cell depletion using alemtuzumab could reduce the risk of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and chronic GVHD (cGVHD) after HSCT with matched unrelated donor (MUD) BM or PBSCs. This retrospective multicenter study included 397 children (BM group, n = 202; PBSC group, n = 195) who underwent first MUD HSCT at 9 pediatric centers in the United Kingdom between 2015 and 2019. The median age at transplantation was 7.0 years (range, .1 to 19.3 years), and the median duration of follow-up was 3.1 years (range, .3 to 7.5 years). The 3-year overall survival was 81% for the entire cohort (BM group, 80%; PBSC group, 81%). The incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD was significantly higher in the PBSC group (31%) compared to the BM group (31% versus 19%; P = .003), with no difference in the incidence of grade III-IV aGVHD (BM, 7%; PBSC, 12%; P = .17). CD3+ T cell dose >5 × 108/kg and the use of PBSCs were independent predictors of grade II-IV aGVHD. When considering CD3+ T cell dose and GVHD prophylaxis, PBSC transplantation with a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and a CD3+ T cell dose ≤5 × 108/kg had a comparable grade II-IV aGVHD to BM transplantation plus a CNI (20% versus 18%; P = .52). PBSC transplantation was associated with a lower incidence of cGVHD compared to BM transplantation (6% versus 11%; P = .03). Within the limits of this study, we identified a potential strategy to reduce the risk of severe GVHD in pediatric PBSC recipients that includes a combination of in vivo T cell depletion using alemtuzumab and dual GVHD prophylaxis (with a CNI and MMF) and limiting the CD3+ T cell dose to ≤5 × 108/kg.

Abstract
Unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) products often require transport to distant locations, which may take up to 72 hours. Temperature is an important variable that can be controlled during PBSC storage or transport; therefore, we studied the impact of temperature on prolonged storage of clinical-grade, mobilized PBSC products. PBSC products were collected by apheresis from 3 granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized donors, split into 2 PVC blood bags of equal volume, and stored at room temperature (RT) (18°C to 25 ºC) or 4 °C (2°C to 8 ºC) for 96 hours. Samples were obtained at 24-hour intervals for pH, cell counts, flow cytometry phenotyping and viability (7AAD), and hematopoietic colony-forming units (CFU). Starting PBSC products contained 52, 65, and 38 × 109 total nucleated cells (TNCs), with cell concentrations of 125, 263, and 94.6 × 106 TNCs/mL, respectively. Product pH dropped during storage, with significantly lower values for RT stored products than for 4 ºC stored products, and was greatest in the product with the highest TNC count. The percent recovery of viable CD34+ progenitor cells, CD3+ T cells, CD4+ T helper cells, CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, CD19+ B cells, CD15+ granulocytes, CD14+ monocytes, and CD16+/56+ natural killer (NK) cells all decreased over 96 hours but decreased more dramatically in the RT group. Cell recovery differences were statistically significant at most time points for all cell populations except CD15+ granulocytes. For CD34+ cells stored at 4 °C, mean recovery from prestorage values were 97 ± 3% at 24 hours, 87 ± 4% at 48 hours, 88 ± 10% at 72 hours, and 78 ± 1% at 96 hours, compared to RT product values of 45 ± 11%, 19 ± 19%, 2 ± 2%, and 0 ± 0%, respectively. CFUs were well preserved through 96 hours at 4 ºC but not at RT. During PBSC storage, pH and content of viable CD34+ cells, T cells, B cells, monocytes, NK cells, and CFU all declined. However, at 4 ºC, viable cell recoveries are relatively well preserved, even at 72 hours, whereas RT storage resulted in rapid product deterioration. PBSC products requiring prolonged liquid storage or transport before cryopreservation or infusion should be maintained at 4 ºC.

Abstract
During the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, cryopreservation of allogeneic donor stem cell products ensured the availability of products at the start of conditioning for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Following recommendations from unrelated donor registries, including the National Marrow Donor Program, many centers began to cryopreserve related donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) products. Throughout this process, several centers have published outcomes with cryopreserved versus fresh products, some with conflicting results. Even though cryopreservation was initially considered only a temporary measure driven by the pandemic, potential advantages include greater flexibility of transplantation timing. However, concerns about detrimental effects of cryopreservation, including increased risk of graft rejection, relapse, and consequent mortality, remained. The primary objective of the present study was to describe our center's experience comparing outcomes following PBSC transplantation with cryopreserved versus fresh grafts. This was an observational case study with a retrospective review comparing cryopreserved grafts (n = 213) to a recent historical cohort (controls) using fresh grafts (n = 167). In multivariable analyses, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for fresh versus cryopreserved grafts was 1.20 (95% confidence interval [CI], .79 to 1.82; P = .40) for overall mortality, .99 (95% CI, .55 to 1.77; P = .98) for nonrelapse mortality, and .94 (95% CI, .60 to 1.48; P = .80) for relapse. The adjusted HR for platelet engraftment was 1.31 (95% CI, 1.05 to 1.63; P = .02) and the odds ratio of grade III-IV acute GVHD was 1.75 (95% CI, 1.01 to 3.04; P = .05) with fresh grafts compared to cryopreserved grafts. There was no demonstrable difference in the risk of chronic GHVD. Although longer-term follow-up is needed, these data provide preliminary reassurance that in the event of another pandemic or should the logistical need arise in individual patients, cryopreservation of PBSC products is a reasonably safe alternative.

Abstract
Introduction High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) followed by autologous blood stem-cell transplantation (ABSCT) remains the standard consolidation therapy for newly diagnosed eligible multiple myeloma (MM) patients. As a prerequisite, peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) must be mobilized and collected by leukapheresis (LP). Many factors can hamper PBSC mobilization/collection. Here, we provide a comprehensive multiparametric assessment of PBSC mobilization/collection outcome parameters in a large cohort. Methods In total, 790 MM patients (471 [60%] male, 319 [40%] female) who underwent PBSC mobilization/collection during first-line treatment were included. Evaluated PBSC mobilization/collection outcome parameters included the prolongation of PBSC mobilization, plerixafor administration, number of LP sessions, and overall PBSC collection goal/result. Results 741 (94%) patients received cyclophosphamide/adriamycin/dexamethasone (CAD) and granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilization. Plerixafor was administered in 80 (10%) patients. 489 (62%) patients started LP without delay. 530 (67%) patients reached the PBSC collection goal at the first LP session. The mean overall PBSC collection result was 10.3 (standard deviation [SD] 4.4) × 106 CD34+ cells/kg. In a multiparametric analysis, variables negatively associated with PBSC mobilization/collection outcomes were female gender, age >60 years, an advanced ISS stage, and local radiation pre-/during induction, but not remission status postinduction. Notably, the identified risk factors contributed differently to each PBSC mobilization/collection outcome parameter. In this context, compared to all other induction regimens, lenalidomide-based induction with/without antibodies negatively affected only the number of LP sessions required to reach the collection goal, but no other PBSC mobilization/collection outcome parameters. In contrast, the probability of reaching a high collection goal of ≥6 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg body weight was higher after lenalidomide-based induction compared to VCD/PAD or VAD - taking into account - that a higher G-SCF dosage was given in approximately one-third of patients receiving lenalidomide-based induction with/without antibodies. Conclusion Considering the identified risk factors in the clinical setting can contribute to optimized PBSC mobilization/collection. Moreover, our study demonstrates the necessity for a differentiated evaluation of PBSC mobilization/collection outcome parameters.

Abstract
Introduction Collection of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) from healthy donors is a well-established process. We aimed to identify factors predictive of successful CD34+ PBSC collection and established a formula capable of predicting CD34+ cell yield. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 588 healthy adult donors (median age 29 years, range 18-69 years) at our institution from 2017 to 2022. The predicted minimal number of CD34+ cells was calculated as follows: (peripheral CD34+ cells/µL × adjusted collection efficiency of 30%) × total liters processed. This formula was further modified according to donor and recipient body weight (BW). Results Median total collection was 8.0 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg BW (range 1.0-47.1 × 106 cells/kg BW) with 522 donors (89%) collecting ≥5.0 × 106 cells/kg of recipient BW. A second leukapheresis (LP) was performed in 49 donors. Need for two LPs was more common in female donors (OR 6.68, 95% CI, 2.62-17.05; p < 0.001), donors with higher age (OR for 10 years difference 1.53, 95% CI, 1.15-2.03, p = 0.003), donors with WBC count <30 × 109/L after 5 days of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) stimulation (OR, 4.33; 95% CI, 1.59-11.83; p = 0.004), and a donor/recipient weight ratio <1 (OR 6.21, 95% CI, 2.69-14.34; p < 0.001). Predictive factors for optimal LP (i.e., ≥5.0 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg of recipient BW) were peripheral blood (PB) CD34+ cell count >50/µL (OR 12.82, range 6.34-25.92, p < 0.001), male donor (OR 2.77, range 1.06-7.23, p = 0.04), and a donor/recipient weight ratio >1 (OR 3.12, range 1.57-6.24, p = 0.001). WBC, platelets, hemoglobin, and age had no significant predictive value. Predicted versus observed number of CD34+ cells/kg BW collected demonstrated a very strong linear correlation (r = 0.925, 95% CI, 0.912-0.936, p < 0.0001). Conclusions Of the routinely monitored indicators in PBSC donors, CD34+ cell count in PB is the most important factor in predicting G-CSF-induced PBSC yields. Higher age, female sex, WBC <30 × 109/L, and a donor/recipient weight ratio <1 are useful indicators for identifying suboptimal mobilizers. The modified formula has shown successful and consistent performance in the prediction of key outcome measures including the minimum CD34+ cell collection, determination of the required length of apheresis, and whether a second day of PBSC collection was necessary to achieve the respective collection goal.

Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) has been a standard of care treatment for eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Guidelines generally recommend hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) harvest for two potential HCT. There is a paucity of data reporting use of such collections in the era of novel approved therapies. In this single-center retrospective study, our goal was to determine the HPC utilization rate and costs associated with leukocytapheresis, collection, storage, and disposal to guide future HPC collection planning. We included 613 patients with MM who underwent HPC collection over a nine-year period. The patients were separated into four groups based on HPC utilization: 1) patients who never proceeded to HCT, or Harvest and Hold (14.8 %), 2) patients who proceeded to one HCT with banked HPC remaining (76.8 %), 3) patients who proceeded to one HCT without HPC remaining (5.1 %), and 4) patients who proceeded to two HCTs (3.3 %). After collection, 73.9 % of patients underwent HCT within 30 days. Of patients with banked HPC, defined as not undergoing HCT within 30 days of leukocytapheresis, the overall utilization rate was 14.9 %. At 2- and 5-years post HPC collection, utilization rate was 10.4 % and 11.5 %, respectively. In conclusion, our results suggest very low utilization of stored HPC, raising into question the current HPC collection targets. Given advances in MM therapy, as well as significant costs associated with harvest and storage, collection for unplanned future use warrants reconsideration. As a result of our analysis, our institution has reduced our HPC collection targets.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Due to the expansion of cell therapy using not only haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) but also other leukocyte subpopulations, the loss of these cells in cryopreserved apheresis products needs to be evaluated. Various factors that could negatively affect post-thaw recovery, such as leukapheresis product characteristics, storage time and cryopreservation protocols have been identified. METHODS The post-thaw recovery of HSCs, lymphocytes, NK cells and monocytes, as well as the factors that could adversely affect it were analysed in autologous and allogeneic leukapheresis products. RESULTS The lowest post-thaw recovery was observed in autologous and allogeneic CD34+ cells, with the median of 73.7% and 68.1%, respectively. In leukocyte subpopulation, the lowest post-thaw recovery was observed for CD14+ cells, both autologous and allogeneic. The highest post-thaw recovery was observed for CD3+/CD8+ cells in autologous, and for CD19+ cells in allogeneic samples. The statistically significant difference was observed between autologous and allogeneic PBSC products for CD3+ cell recovery (P = 0.031) and CD3+/CD8+ cell recovery (P = 0.009). The evaluation of factors that could adversely affect the post-thaw recovery in autologous samples showed weak negative correlations between platelet concentration and CD3+ recovery, as well as between storage time and CD3+CD8+ recovery. In allogeneic samples, a strong negative correlation was observed only between the percentage of granulocytes and CD3+, CD3+/CD8+ and CD3+/CD4+ cell recoveries. CONCLUSION Since various post-thaw recoveries of leukocyte subpopulations were observed, the cell therapy manufacturing centers should evaluate how their cryopreservation method and other factors affect the recovery of cell population of interest in their settings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of iron overload on the mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) in pediatric patients with β-thalassemia major (TM). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 226 patients with TM from whom PBSCs were collected. Iron overload was based on serum ferritin level, and liver and cardiac iron overload was measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2*. RESULTS The mean age of the TM patients was 7.35 ± 3.41 years. Of the patients, only 171 received MRI. Of the 171 patients, 35 had normal liver iron levels, 39 mild liver iron overload, 90 intermediate liver iron overload, and 7 severe liver iron overload. The intermediate + severe group was associated with significantly higher age and BMI and lower leukapheresis product white blood cell count and CD34+ cell levels (all, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Leukapheresis indices were similar between patients with different degrees of iron overload according to the ferritin level and cardiac iron overload, in which the later might be due to the small number of patients with cardiac overload. In patients with TM, the intermediate and severe liver iron overload was associated with poorer mobilization of PBSCs.

Abstract
Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells mobilization is now the basis of most stem cell transplants. In a very limited number of cases, mobilization is suboptimal leading to further collection procedures, to suboptimal cell doses infusion with delayed engraftment time, increased risks of transplant procedure and of related costs. To date we have no recognized and shared criteria for early estimating the probability of poor mobilization in healthy donors. We then analyzed allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell donations performed at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A.Gemelli IRCCS Hospital from January 2013 to December 2021 in order to identify premobilization factors associated with successful mobilization. The following data were collected: age, gender, weight, complete blood cell count at baseline, G-CSF dose, number of collection procedures, CD34+ cell count in peripheral blood on the first day of collection, CD34+ cell dose per kg body weight of recipient. Mobilization efficacy was defined according to the number of CD34+ cells in peripheral blood on day +5 of G-CSF administration. We classified donors as sub-optimal mobilizers or good mobilizers according to the achievement of the 50 CD34+ cell/μL threshold. We observed 30 suboptimal mobilizations in 158 allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell donations. Age and baseline white blood cell count were factors significantly associated with negative or positive impact on mobilization, respectively. We did not find significant differences in mobilization based on gender or G-CSF dose. Using cut-off values of 43 years and 5.5×109/L WBC count, we built a suboptimal mobilization score: donors who reach 2, 1 or 0 points have a 46%, 16% or 4% probability of suboptimal mobilization, respectively. Our model explains 26% of the variability of mobilization confirming that most of the mobilization magnitude depends on genetically determined factors; however, suboptimal mobilization score is a simple tool providing an early assessment of mobilization efficacy before G-CSF administration begins in order to support allogeneic stem cells selection, mobilization and collection. Through a systematic review, we looked for confirmation of our findings. According to the published articles, all the variables we included in our model are confirmed to be strongly related to the success of mobilization. We believe that score system approach could be applied in clinical practice to assess the risk of mobilization failure at baseline allowing for a priori intervention.

Abstract
Bone marrow (BM) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are used as grafts from HLA-identical-related donors for adults with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). To assess the impact of graft sources on post-transplant outcomes in MDS patients, we conducted a retrospective analysis of a nationwide database. A total of 247 and 280 patients underwent transplantation with BM and PBSC, respectively. The inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) methods revealed that overall survival (OS) was comparable between BM and PBSC (P = .129), but PBSC transplantation was associated with worse graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS) (hazard rate [HR], 1.24; 95% confidence intervals [CIs], 1.00-1.53; P = 0.049) and chronic GVHD-free and relapse-free survival (CRFS) (HR, 1.29; 95% CIs, 1.13-1.73; P = 0.002) than BM transplantation. In the propensity score matched cohort (BM, n = 216; PBSC, n = 216), no significant differences were observed in OS and relapse; 3-year OS rates were 64.7% and 60.0% (P = 0.107), while 3-year relapse rates were 27.1% and 23.5% (P = 0.255) in BM and PBSC, respectively. Three-year GRFS rates (36.6% vs. 29.2%; P = 0.006), CRFS rate (37.7% vs. 32.5%; P = 0.003), and non-relapse mortality rates (13.9% vs. 21.1%; P = 0.020) were better in BM than in PBSC. The present study showed that BM transplantation provides a comparable survival benefit with PBSC transplantation and did not identify an enhanced graft-versus-MDS effect to reduce the incidence of relapse in PBSC transplantation.

Abstract
ABO incompatibility is common in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT); however, the impact of donor-recipient ABO compatibility on transplantation outcomes in different HSCT settings is controversial. Moreover, haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) with peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC)-derived grafts has not been well investigated. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of ABO incompatibility on post-transplantation outcomes, engraftment kinetics, blood product requirements, transfusion independence, and the incidence of poor graft function (PGF) in antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based haplo-SCT with PBSC grafts during long-term follow-up. We prospectively evaluated 510 patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent haplo-SCT after myeloablative conditioning (MAC). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and secondary endpoints were nonrelapse mortality (NRM), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), relapse, neutrophil and platelet engraftment, blood transfusion requirements, transfusion independence, and the incidence of PGF. There was no significant association between ABO matching and OS, disease-free survival (DFS), relapse, NRM, grade II-IV acute GVHD, grade III-IV acute GVHD, and moderate and severe chronic GVHD. There were also no significant differences in neutrophil and platelet engraftment, blood transfusion independence, and transfusion requirements at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 365 days post-transplantation among patients with ABO matching and those with minor, major, or bidirectional ABO incompatibility. Donor-recipient ABO matching did not differ significantly according to graft function (good versus poor). ABO incompatibility status has no major impact on patient outcomes in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing ATG-based MAC haplo-SCT with PBSC-derived grafts.

The use of alternative donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) has increased in recent years. In this study, we analyzed the effect of stem cell source and HLA disparity on outcomes in pediatric patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA). A total of 134 patients who underwent HSCT with nonmyeloablative conditioning between 2006 and 2020 were enrolled and classified into 3 groups: HLA-matched bone marrow transplantation (M-BMT; n = 24), HLA-matched PBSCT (M-PBSCT; n = 66), and HLA-mismatched PBSCT (MM-PBSCT; n = 44). Significantly higher stem cell doses were obtained for PBSCT than for BMT. A total of 13 patients experienced secondary graft failure (GF), with a cumulative incidence (CI) of 10.0%. HLA-mismatched PBSCT and a very severe degree of disease significantly decreased the incidence of secondary GF. The CI of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was significantly higher in PBSCT than in BMT, but the CI of grade III-IV acute GVHD and CI of chronic GVHD requiring systemic treatment did not increase in PBSCT. The estimated 5-year overall survival (OS), failure-free survival (FFS), and GVHD-free failure-free survival (GFFS) of the total cohort were 93.0%, 89.5%, and 77.5%, respectively. The most favorable FFS was observed in the MM-PBSCT group (97.6%; P = .03), whereas OS and GFFS were similar across the 3 groups. In multivariate analysis, HLA mismatch and short time from diagnosis to transplantation were associated with superior FFS. Unrelated donor PBSCT with low-intensity SAA conditioning showed favorable outcomes in terms of low rate of secondary GF, higher FFS, and manageable GVHD regardless of HLA compatibility. Our findings suggest the feasibility of PBSCT from unrelated donors, resulting in the possible expansion of the donor pool in transplantation for pediatric SAA. © 2021 American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

Abstract
High-dose post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is an effective platform for prevention of severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow (BM) transplantation with mismatched unrelated donors (mMUDs). Previous studies evaluating PTCy with mMUDs favored BM allografts over peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) due to concerns that PBSCT may be associated with an increased risk of acute and chronic GVHD. In addition, haploidentical PBSCT is associated with high rates of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which is another concern with mMUD PBSCT. This study was conducted to determine the feasibility and safety of using mMUD PBSCT with PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis. Patients who received mMUD PBSCT using a PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis at Johns Hopkins Hospital as part of a prospective clinical trial of mMUD and non-first-degree relative haploidentical transplantation with PTCy (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01203722) were included. All patients underwent T cell-replete PBSCT between November 2012 and August 2020. Statistical analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and proportional subdistribution hazard regression model for competing risks. The 29 patients in the study had a median age of 54 years, with 10 patients (34%) age ≥60 years. Nineteen grafts (66%) were matched for 9/10 HLA loci, 6 (21%) were match for 8/10, and 4 (14%) were matched for 7/10. No primary or secondary graft failure occurred. The median time to neutrophil recovery (≥500/µL) was 17 days, and that to platelet recovery (≥20,000/µL) was 28 days. Full donor chimerism was achieved in all patients by day +60. The cumulative incidence (CuI) of grade II-IV acute GVHD at 180 days was 15% (90% confidence interval [CI], 3% to 26%). There were no cases of severe chronic GVHD, 3 cases of mild chronic GVHD, and 1 case of moderate chronic GVHD. The CuI of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was 7% (90% CI, NA to 18%) at 1 year. Eighteen patients (62%) experienced mild CRS (grade 1-2), and 1 patient (3%) experienced severe CRS (grade 3-5). At 1 year, the CuI of relapse was 29% (90% CI, 8% to 50%), overall survival was 93% (90% CI, 85% to 100%), progression-free survival was 64% (90% CI, 46% to 88%), GVHD-free relapse-free survival was 41% (90% CI, 23% to 73%), and chronic GVHD-free relapse-free survival was 64% (90% CI, 46% to 88%). Our data indicate that mMUD PBSCT using PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis is safe and feasible. All patients engrafted, and rates of NRM (7%) and acute GVHD (15%) at 1 year were low. There was only 1 case (3%) of severe CRS. Compared with previously published outcomes, mMUD PBSCT using PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis has a safety and efficacy profile that may not be different from that of PBSCT from matched donors. These results further solidify that all patients who require blood or BM transplantation should be able to find an acceptable donor.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peripheral blood stem cells are widely used in autologous or allogeneic transplantation. The quality of the product directly impacts clinical outcomes, and the cell quality and/or functionality may be influenced by the storage conditions as time, temperature, total nucleated cells (TNC) concentration and cryopreservation requirement. OBJECTIVE To verify the effects of time, cell concentration, and cryopreservation/thawing in the viability and functionality of stem cells for transplantation. METHODS We evaluated TNC, CD45+ viable cells, CD34+ viable cells, and cell viability and functionality of 11 samples. Measurements were performed immediately and 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 96 h after sample collection at high and low TNC concentrations. The same parameters were also evaluated after cryopreservation and thawing of the samples. RESULT Duration of storage and TNC concentration exhibited a negative effect on cell quality (CD45+ viable cells, CD34+ viable cells and functionality). Moreover, the association of these parameters increased the negative effect on graft quality. Cryopreservation and thawing also negatively affected the collected sample regarding viable CD34+ cells (recovery 66.2 %), viable CD45+ cells (recovery 56.8 %), and 7-AAD viability. No significant losses in viable CD45+/CD34+ cells and functionality were observed in the first 24 h in both TNC conditions. CONCLUSION These results emphasize the importance to consider carefully the storage conditions until transplantation, measuring TNC/μL until 24 h after collection (diluting the product when TNC > 300 × 103/μL) and infusing fresh graft as soon as possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Drug delivery by nebulization has become a crucial strategy for treating different respiratory and lung diseases. Emerging evidence implicates stem cell therapy as a promising tool in treating such conditions, not only by alleviating the related symptoms but by improving the prognosis. However, delivery of human peripheral blood-derived stem cells (hPBSCs) to the respiratory airways remains an innovative approach yet to be realized. This study is an analytic, translational, and in vitro research to assess the viability and morphological changes of identified cell populations in hPBSCs cocktail derived from COVID-19 patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Peripheral blood (PB) samples were obtained from patients enrolled in the SENTAD-COVID Study (ClinicalTrials.gov Reference: NCT04473170). hPBSCs cocktails (n=15) were provided by the Cells Processing Laboratory of Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Center, and were nebulized by three different methods of nebulization: compressor (jet), ultrasonic, and mesh. Our results reported that nucleated CD45dim cell count was significantly lower after the three nebulization methods, but nucleated CD45- cells show a significant decrease only after mesh nebulization. Mesh-nebulized samples had a significant reduction in viability of both CD45dim and CD45- cells. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence that stem cells derived from PB of COVID-19 patients can be nebulized without substantial loss of cell viability, cell count, and morphological changes using the compressor nebulization. Therefore, we recommend compressor nebulizers as the preferable procedure for hPBSCs delivery to the respiratory airways in further clinical settings.

Abstract
Circulating osteogenic precursor (COP) cells are a population of progenitor cells in the peripheral blood with the capacity to form bone in vitro and in vivo. They have characteristics of the mesenchymal stem and progenitor pool found in the bone marrow; however, more recently, a population of COP cells has been identified with markers of the hematopoietic lineage such as CD45 and CD34. While this population has been associated with several bone pathologies, a lack of cell culture models and inconsistent characterization has limited mechanistic research into their behavior and physiology. In this study, we describe a method for the isolation of CD45+/CD34+/alkaline phosphatase (ALP) + COP cells via fluorescence-activated cell sorting, as well as their expansion and differentiation in culture. Hematopoietic COP cells are a discreet population within the monocyte fraction of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells, which form proliferative, fibroblastoid colonies in culture. Their expression of hematopoietic markers decreases with time in culture, but they express markers of osteogenesis and deposit calcium with differentiation. It is hoped that this will provide a standard for their isolation, for consistency in future research efforts, to allow for the translation of COP cells into clinical settings.

Abstract
Haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) may be the sole available curative option for several hematologic malignancies. However, the best choice of conditioning regimen and graft source has not been established. This study was conducted to compare myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimens with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens and peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts with bone marrow (BM) grafts in the haplo-HCT setting with PTCy. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing MAC with RIC and PBSC with BM in the haplo-HCT. The search was conducted in PubMed and TRIALS on February 2, 2021, without a date limit. We excluded studies with >30% non-PTCy graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis and >30% nonmalignant diseases. We screened 570 abstracts from PubMed and TRIALS and selected 20 for full-text review and 17 for inclusion in the qualitative and quantitative analyses. For PBSC versus BM grafts, we found no difference in overall survival (OS; hazard ratio [HR], 1.05; P = .61; nPBSC = 1983; nBM = 2124), progression-free survival (PFS; HR, 0.95; P = .52; nPBSC = 2663, nBM = 2769), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free relapse-free survival (GRFS; HR, 1.16; P = .07; nPBSC = 1454; pBM = 1647), or nonrelapse mortality (HR, 1.14; P = .13; nPBSC = 1664; nBM = 1862). Relapse was lower with the use of PBSC grafts (HR, 0.84; P = .001; nPBSC = 2663; nBM = 2769). The rates of acute GVHD (aGVHD) and chronic GVHD (cGVHD) were higher with PBSC grafts (aGVHD grade II-IV: HR, 1.67; P < .001; nPBSC = 2663; nBM = 2802; aGVHD grade III-IV: HR, 1.82; P < .001; nPBSC = 1826; nBM = 2000; cGVHD: HR, 1.46; P = .002; nPBSC = 2686; nBM = 2815). Engraftment was higher with PBSC grafts (HR, 1.27; P < .001; nPBSC = 1461; nBM = 1717). Comparing MAC and RIC, the use of MAC was associated with less relapse (HR, 0.70; P < .001; nMAC = 1929; nRIC = 2662), higher nonrelapse mortality (HR, 1.24; P = .002; nMAC = 2016; nRIC = 2790), but better PFS (HR, 0.86; P = .002; nMAC = 1929; nRIC = 2662). There were no differences between the 2 conditioning regimens in OS (HR, .95; P = .32; nMAC = 2123; nRIC = 3155), GRFS (HR, 0.97; P = .67; nMAC = 1182; nRIC = 1330), grade II-IV aGVHD (HR, 1.01; P = .81; nMAC = 2099; nRIC = 3090), or cGVHD (HR, 1.05; P = .44; nMAC=1929; nRIC = 2662). This analysis shows that the use of BM grafts is associated with comparable outcomes as seen with PBSC grafts despite a lower incidence of GVHD and a higher relapse rate. The use of MAC regimens is associated with improved PFS. These results suggest that for fit patients, MAC remains the optimal conditioning regimen in terms of mortality, and that the use of PBSC grafts may further decrease relapse risk and hasten engraftment, provided that further strategies can be incorporated to decrease GVHD. Prospective comparisons are awaited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a rare disease of unclear cause characterized by subchondral bone damage and overlying cartilage defects. The current report presents the results of subchondral bone as a novel target for implantation of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) in the treatment of OCD.
CASE SUMMARY A 16-year-old patient diagnosed with OCD underwent subchondral bone implantation of PBSCs. Four months later, the patient's visual analog scale scores, Western Ontario and McMaster University osteoarthritis index, and whole-organ magnetic resonance imaging score improved significantly, and regeneration of cartilage and subchondral bone was observed on magnetic resonance imaging.
CONCLUSION This is the first case of OCD treated with subchondral bone as an implantation target of PBSCs, which highlights the importance of subchondral bone for cartilage repair. This treatment could be a potential option for articular cartilage and subchondral bone recovery in OCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The understanding regarding genetic variation, pathophysiology, and complications associated with pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) in red blood cells has been explained largely, and supportive treatment is currently the main management strategy. Etiotropic managements, including transplantation and genome editing, supplying for substitute dugs of the pyruvate kinase, are all under research.
CASE SUMMARY We herein report a 3-year-old boy with severe transfusion-dependent PKD cured by unrelated identical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Hemoglobin was corrected to a normal level by gene correction after PBSCT, with no complication related to the transplantation.
CONCLUSION Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation could be a substitute for transfusion-dependent PKD.

Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (autoHCT) has become a critical component in the treatment of pediatric malignancies, allowing for high-dose chemotherapy to be given safely and with greater efficacy in a subset of children at high risk for relapse. Risk factors associated with hospital length of stay (LOS) in adults undergoing autoHCT have been studied extensively; however, there is a paucity of studies describing risk factors associated with LOS and health care cost in children undergoing autoHCT. This study sought to identify factors influencing LOS and cost in pediatric autoHCT. We assessed LOS from autologous stem cell infusion from day 0 (D0) in 100 autoHCT admissions in 73 patients with malignant disease between 2007 and 2019. We evaluated demographic, pre-transplantation, post-transplantation, and socioeconomic variables to identify potential risk factors associated with LOS and cost. AutoHCT cost data were provided by the Pediatric Health Information System database. Indications for autoHCT included neuroblastoma (35.6%), brain tumor (27.4%), and relapsed lymphoma (24.7%). The median patient age was 4.88 years (range, 0.72 to 22 years), with 71% age <12 years, and the cohort was 63% male, 77% white, and 41% Hispanic. The median LOS from D0 was 19 days (range, 13 to 100 days). On multivariable analysis, age >12 years compared with 2 to 12 years (estimate, -8.9 days; 95% confidence interval [CI], -15.1 to -2.8; P = .004) and complete remission/very good partial response disease status (estimate, -5.0 days; 95% CI, -9.6 to -0.4 days; P = .031) were associated with a significantly decreased median LOS, whereas Hispanic ethnicity (estimate, +6.8 days; 95% CI, 1.1 to 12.6 days; P = .019), >5 days of fever (estimate, +7.3 days; 95% CI, 1.4 to 13.2 days; P = .015), and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) LOS (estimate, +14.9 days; 95% CI, 1.8 to 28.0 days; P = .025) were associated with a significant increase in median LOS. The median cost per transplantation admission was $96,850 (range, $39,833 to $587,321). Multivariable analysis showed that age >12 years (estimate, -$6,776; 95% CI, -$71,787 to -$11,402; P = .007) or <2 years (estimate, -$32,426; 95% CI, -$53,507 to -$11,345; P = .003), and complete remission/very good partial response disease status (estimate, -$20,266; 95% CI, -$40,211 to -$322; P = .046) were associated with significantly decreased median cost, whereas >5 days of fever (estimate, +$58,886; 95% CI, $30,667 to $87,105; P < .001) and PICU admission (estimate, +$102,458; 95% CI, $23,843 to $181,076; P = .011) were associated with significantly increased median cost. In summary, fever and PICU stay were found to be risk factors for increased LOS and cost. Age <12 years and Hispanic ethnicity were risk factors for increased LOS, whereas age <2 years and >12 years and female sex were associated with decreased cost. Further investigation to determine specific factors influencing LOS and cost is warranted to identify potentially modifiable risks within these patient populations.

Abstract
Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation is a curative approach in various malignant and non-malignant disorders. The majority of adult transplants in the current era are performed using mobilized stem cells, harvested from the peripheral blood by leukapheresis. Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collections are designed to target a dose of stem cells that will result in safe engraftment and hematopoietic recovery; however, 99 % of the cells contained in a PBSC graft are not stem cells and a growing number of studies attempt to characterize the associations between graft composition and transplant outcomes. A better understanding of the impact of the quantity and quality of various cell types in PBSC grafts may lead to development of novel collection strategies or improved donor selection algorithms. Here we review relevant findings from recent studies in this area.

Abstract
The use of haploidentical donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (Haplo-PTCy) in children is increasing; however, it is still not clear which preparative regimen is best in this setting. We present the long-term results of 42 patients age <18 years with high-risk leukemia who underwent this procedure using a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen (RIC) and peripheral blood as the stem cell source. Twenty-six patients had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 13 had acute myelogenous leukemia, 2 had juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, and 1 had blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia. One-third of the patients were in first remission, 50% were in second remission, 14% were in third remission, and 3% had refractory disease. Neutrophil recovery occurred in 100% of the 40 patients alive at day +30, and transplantation-related mortality at 1 year was 14%. The incidence of acute graft-versus-disease (GVHD) grade III-IV was 17%, and the cumulative incidence of moderate to severe chronic GVHD at 1 year was 29%. The median duration of follow-up for surviving patients was 45 months; overall survival and event-free survival at 36 months were 56% and 46%, respectively. Long-term results of this series show that the use of an RIC regimen with peripheral blood stem cells as the cell source, in children with high-risk leukemia who underwent haplo-PTCy has tolerable toxicity, universal engraftment, and good survival rates.

Abstract
Introduction The isolation of captured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) from leukoreduction filters (LRFs) can be of great importance in terms of bringing the lost cells back into use. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate various methods based on their potential to recover the peripheral blood cells from LRFs with a focus on mononuclear cells (MNCs). Method For cell isolation from LRFs, three distinct methods (back-flushing, direct and vacuum pump) were compared through the calculation of the yield of isolated MNCs. The viability of extracted cells was determined by the flow cytometry technique. Moreover, the recovered MNCs were characterized regarding the presence of blood stem cell purification. The cell culture, microscopic observation, and immunophenotyping were employed to characterize the blood stem cells (hematopoietic, mesenchymal and progenitor endothelial stem cells). Results The yield of isolation obtained in the back-flushing, direct and vacuum pump methods were 17.7 ± 1.28, 17.3 ± 0.96 and 21.2 ± 0.90 percent, respectively. Although the highest potential for total blood cell recovery belonged to the vacuum pump method, the lowest cell viability (85.73 ± 4.84%) was observed in this method. However, the isolation process of the back-flushing and direct methods had less effect on cell viability. The characterization of the isolated MNCs displayed that the dominant positive phenotype was for CD34/CD45, indicating hematopoietic stem cells. In addition, the endothelial stem/progenitor cells were significantly detected as CD31/CD133 positive cells. Conclusion According to our results and considering the safety and efficiency potential of each of the applied methods, the back-flushing in comparison with the other methods can be considered a suitable procedure for MNC isolation from LRFs.

Abstract
Treatment options for newly diagnosed aplastic anemia (AA) patient includes upfront allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) or immunosuppressive therapy (IST). With recent advances in supportive care, conditioning regimens and post-transplant immunosuppression the overall survival for HSCT approaches 70-90%. Transplant eligibility needs to be assessed considering age, comorbidities, donor availability and probability of response to immunosuppressive therapy (IST). Upfront HSCT should be offered to children and young adults with matched related donor (MRD). Upfront HSCT may also be offered to children and young adults with rapidly available matched unrelated donor (MUD) who require urgent HSCT. Bone marrow (BM) graft source and cyclosporine (CsA) plus methotrexate (MTX) as graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis are preferable when using anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) based conditioning regimens. Alemtuzumab is an acceptable alternative to ATG and is used with CsA alone and with either BM or peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). Cyclophosphamide (CY) plus ATG conditioning is preferable for patients receiving MRD transplant, while Fludarabine (Flu) based conditioning is reserved for older adults, those with risk factors of graft failure and those receiving MUD HSCT. For haploidentical transplant, use of low dose radiotherapy and post-transplant cyclophosphamide has resulted in a marked reduction in graft failure and GVHD.

Abstract
Introduction Recently, we identified a huge discrepancy between the collection practice and the actual utilization of cryopreserved peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) for high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous blood stem cell transplantation (ABSCT). Specifically, patients with Burkitt lymphoma, acute leukemia, and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) were frequently not referred for ABSCT after successful PBSC collection. Objective The aim of this study was to identify variables that are associated with the non-utilization of PBSC grafts. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the collection, storage, and disposal of PBSC grafts in Burkitt lymphoma (n = 18), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, n = 22), MPN (n = 18), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML, n = 71) patients. Patients who underwent autologous PBSC collection at 2 collection and transplantation centers between 2001 and 2012 were included and followed up until 2016. Results None of the Burkitt lymphoma patients were referred for ABSCT. Only in 1 (6%) patient, the graft was discarded after the patient's death. In all other patients (n = 17, 94%), the grafts were stored independently of the patient's status (death, n = 4, 22%; no follow-up, n = 6, 33%; no indication for ABSCT given, n = 7, 39%). In ALL patients, 4 (18%) patients underwent ABSCT after a median follow-up of 74 (1-182) months. In the remaining patients, PBSC grafts were either discarded (8 patients, 36%) or stored until the reference date (10 patients, 45%). Seven of 18 MPN patients (39%) underwent ABSCT. ABSCT was performed in 24 (34%) AML patients. In 20 (28%) patients who were not referred to ABSCT, an allogeneic transplantation (TPL) was performed. Fifteen (21%) patients received palliative care or deceased, and their grafts were discarded in all but 1 patient. Additional grafts were discarded in 21 (31%) patients and stored in 9 (13%) patients who underwent ABSCT or allogeneic TPL (n = 44). Conclusions As the role and efficacy of autologous HDCT/ABSCT are not established in the analyzed entities, the indication for PBSC collection should be reanalyzed in regular intervals. Moreover, PBSC grafts from patients who have deceased, have insufficient grafts, or have already undergone an allogeneic TPL should be considered for disposal or (if applicable) for research use, to economize storage costs on a rational basis.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy (HD-CHT) and autologous blood stem cell transplantation (ABSCT) represent the standard of care in multiple myeloma (MM) for transplantation-eligible patients. Up to 3 HD-CHT/ABSCT treatments may be administered during the course of disease, including during late-onset relapse. Transplantation centers routinely collect more than 1 peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) graft; however, subsequent HD-CHT/ABSCT treatments are often not performed, for various reasons. Currently, little is known about the actual utilization rate of stored PBSCs. The collection, storage, and disposal of PBSC products was analyzed in a large cohort of patients with MM (n = 1114) over a 12-year period with a minimum follow-up of 6 years. The final dataset analysis was performed in March 2019, which was set as the reference date. Based on institution-specific charges, the costs for PBSC collection, processing, and storage were estimated. The median number of sufficient PBSC transplantations per patient was 3 (range, 0 to 6), which were stored in a median of 3 (range, 1 to 11) cryopreserved bags (overall, n = 3644). A total of 95% of all patients (n = 1059) underwent at least 1 HD-CHT/ABSCT treatment. However, multiple ABSCTs were performed in 51% of the patients (n2/3 ABSCTs = 538), and only 14% of the patients underwent ABSCT 3 times (n3 ABSCTs = 149). Only a small proportion of collected PBSC bags (5%; n = 109) were used after being stored for longer than 5 years. Overall, 23% of the products (n = 830) were discarded, and 16% (n = 566) were kept in storage until the reference date. From a retrospective standpoint, the collected and discarded (definitively not used) or stored (potentially not used) cryostored PBSCs were associated with considerable costs for long-term cryostorage of approximately €1,600,000. We identified considerable discrepancies between the collection/storage and utilization of PBSCs. This is associated with significant efforts and costs on the one hand; on the other hand, disposal may raise legal and ethical questions. Therefore, we implemented comprehensive guidelines for the systematic reevaluation of stored PBSC grafts at our institution.

Background High-dose (HD) chemotherapy followed by autologous blood stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) patients. However, the collection of sufficient peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts can be challenging, and the question arises whether reinfusion of low-dose grafts will lead to a hematopoietic recovery. Methods The hematopoietic recovery of 148 MM patients who underwent HD melphalan chemotherapy and received PBSC transplants with varying CD34+ cells doses (3–4 × 106 [n = 86], 2–2.5 × 106 [n = 53], < 2 × 106 [n = 9] per kg body weight [bw]) was analyzed in this retrospective single-center study. Results All patients reached hematopoietic reconstitution, even those who received < 2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg bw. 62 (42%) patients received granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). The median duration to leukocyte recovery ≥1.0 × 109/L was 12 days in every group. The median duration to platelet recovery ≥20 × 109/L was 11, 13 and 13 days, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, a low number of reinfused CD34+ cells was associated with prolonged time until leukocyte reconstitution (p = 0.010, HR 0.607) and platelet recovery (p < 0.001, HR 0.438). G-CSF support significantly accelerated leukocyte (p < 0.001, HR 16.742) but not platelet reconstitution. Conclusion In conclusion, reinfusion of low- and even very-low-dose PBSC grafts leads to sufficient hematopoietic reconstitution. No severe adverse events were observed during or after HD chemotherapy and ASCT in the analyzed cohort. While the impact of CD34+ cell dose is marginal, G-CSF significantly accelerates the leukocyte recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lymphedema is a chronic debilitating disease characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the extremities as a result of lymphatic system impairment. Current treatments fail to restore the functionality and structural integrity of the lymphatic vessels lost in this condition. In this study, autologous mobilized peripheral blood stem cell transplantation was used and its potential efficacy and safety were evaluated in treating this condition. METHODS Ten patients with primary lymphedema in the lower extremity received granulocyte-colony stimulating factor subcutaneously for 4 days, to stimulate stem cell mobilization, after which 200 to 250 mL of blood was drawn from each patient and used to collect stem cells. Mobilized stem cells were counted by flow cytometry with International Society of Hematotherapy and Graft Engineering method. In two sessions, 3 weeks apart, these stem cells were injected subcutaneously in the affected limb at approximately 80 points, along the lymphatic vessels. Each patient was followed for 6 months, during which changes in the limb volume and circumference were measured. Lymphangiogenesis was evaluated by biopsy, the lymphoscintigraphic transport index was calculated using Lymphoscintigraphy, and quality of life was surveyed. RESULTS In this study, patients received on average 9.5 ± 6.8 × 108 mononuclear cells (which divided into 2 × 106 CD34+ cells for each session) in two sessions. The volume of the lower limbs decreased in 60% of patients. One patient showed a slight increase in the volume of lower limbs and three showed no change. The average limb volume was 4469.41 ± 1760.71 cm3, which on average differed from the average initial limb volume by 232.88 ± 392.53 cm3. Quality of life was reported as slightly increased in 60% of patients. The lymphoscintigraphic transport index suggested improvement in 60% of the patients. Likewise, tissue samples showed a 60% increase in lymphatic vessels. CONCLUSIONS Subcutaneous injection of autologous hematopoietic stem cells harvested from peripheral blood into patients with primary lower limb lymphedema is feasible, potentially effective, and without serious adverse effects. However, a larger scale study with more patients is needed to validate our results. Last, to increase the effectiveness of this treatment, the optimal dose of cells injected and the requirement for additional growth factors need further study.

Abstract
HLA-haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT/Cy-haplo) is widely used because of such advantages as low procedure cost, high probability of finding a suitable donor, and donor availability at short notice. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), resulting from bidirectional alloreaction between host and donor, occurs frequently in recipients of PT/Cy-haplo, especially when peripheral blood is used. Severe and life-threatening instances of CRS have been reported. The clinical significance of CRS remains unclear, however. Here we used serum IL-6 level as a surrogate marker of CRS to evaluate the impact of outcomes in 65 consecutive patients receiving PT/Cy-haplo at our institution. Our results indicate that active disease status, high Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index score, and very severe CRS are significantly related to peak serum IL-6 level. In our cohort, high peak serum IL-6 level and severe CRS were significantly associated with the development of grade III or IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). High peak serum IL-6 level was identified a significant risk factor for poor 3-year overall survival. Our results suggest that even transient CRS following PT/Cy-haplo may contribute to poor survival owing to an increase in severe acute GVHD.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that intracardiac delivery of autologous peripheral blood‐derived CD34+ stem cells (SCs), mobilized by granulocyte‐colony stimulating factor (G‐CSF) and collected by leukapheresis after myocardial infarction, structurally and functionally repaired the damaged myocardial area. When used for cardiac indication, CD34+ cells are now considered as Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs). We have industrialized their production by developing an automated device for ex vivo CD34+‐SC expansion, starting from a whole blood (WB) sample. Blood samples were collected from healthy donors after G‐CSF mobilization. Manufacturing procedures included: (a) isolation of total nuclear cells, (b) CD34+ immunoselection, (c) expansion and cell culture recovery in the device, and (d) expanded CD34+ cell immunoselection and formulation. The assessment of CD34+ cell counts, viability, and immunophenotype and sterility tests were performed as quality tests. We established graft acceptance criteria and performed validation processes in three cell therapy centers. 59.4 × 106 ± 36.8 × 106 viable CD34+ cells were reproducibly generated as the final product from 220 ml WB containing 17.1 × 106 ± 8.1 × 106 viable CD34+ cells. CD34+ identity, genetic stability, and telomere length were consistent with those of basal CD34+ cells. Gram staining and mycoplasma and endotoxin analyses were negative in all cases. We confirmed the therapeutic efficacy of both CD34+‐cell categories in experimental acute myocardial infarct (AMI) in immunodeficient rats during preclinical studies. This reproducible, automated, and standardized expansion process produces high numbers of CD34+ cells corresponding to the approved ATMP and paves the way for a phase I/IIb study in AMI, which is currently recruiting patients. stem cells translational medicine2019;8:822&832

Abstract
Allotransplantation in the absence of an HLA-matched sibling donor can offer numerous donor options including unrelated donor and umbilical cord blood grafting. Recently, haploidentical transplantation has exploded in popularity and worldwide use following the application of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for GVHD prophylaxis. Various approaches, disease states, conditioning intensities and supportive care advances have improved all these choices without demonstrable superiority of one approach versus the others. However, PTCy limits risks of GVHD; bone marrow over peripheral blood stem cells limits risks of chronic GVHD, which suggests that both these promising techniques can inform these donor and graft choices. Formal and prospective data will answer whether situationally adapted best options-tailored to each patient's disease risk and comorbidity status-will help guide future decision-making to improve patient outcomes with the least cumulative morbidity.

Abstract
Although peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) have worldwide become the predominant source of progenitor cells for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), debate about their role compared with bone marrow (BM) has recently intensified, in large part based on the results of a multicenter Clinical Trials Network study which showed lower incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and improved quality of life in recipients of myeloablative HLA-matched unrelated BM compared with PBSC transplants. However, in certain patient populations, PBSC may lead to improved clinical outcomes due to faster hematologic recovery, a lower risk of graft failure, and possibly a lower probability of relapse. This review will provide a comprehensive summary of studies comparing PBSC with BM as the graft source in terms of acute and chronic GVHD incidence, time to engraftment, and disease-free and overall survival probabilities after HLA-matched related and unrelated donor transplantation and haploidentical donor transplantation. Recommendations based on these studies regarding the use of PBSC versus BM for HSCT are offered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior to infusion, cryopreserved autologous peripheral blood stem cell (auto-PBSC) grafts can either be thawed at the bedside or thawed and washed at the laboratory. At our center, manual washing of grafts prior to infusion was discontinued in April 2012 and bedside thawing was implemented. METHODS This study compares the outcomes of two patient groups who received auto-PBSC either after post-thaw washing (n = 84) or bedside thawing (n = 83). RESULTS No life-threatening infusion-related side effects were reported in either group. There was no significant difference in the mean CD34+ cells/kg dose of infused auto-PBSC in the two groups (p = 0.41), nor in the number of days to neutrophils > 0.5 × 10(9)/L (p = 0.14), days to platelets > 20 × 10(9)/L (p = 0.64), or days to platelets > 50 × 10(9)/L (p = 0.62) after transplant. There was also no difference in the number of days on total parenteral nutrition (p = 0.69), days on G-CSF therapy (p = 0.48), or days with fever (p = 0.73). Finally, there was no significant difference in the number of red cell units transfused (p = 0.32), or platelet units transfused (p = 0.94) after the transplant. One-hundred-day mortality was identical in the two groups (2.4%). CONCLUSION Both thawing procedures are safe and result in acceptable engraftment and patient outcomes.

Abstract
Little is known about the experiences of individuals donating peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) or marrow for a second time. To study this, unrelated donors making a second donation through the National Marrow Donor Program between 2004 and 2013 were evaluated. Experiences of second-time donors giving marrow (n = 118: first donation was PBSC in 76 and marrow in 42) were compared with those making only 1 marrow donation (n = 5829). Experiences of second-time donors giving PBSCs (n = 602) (first donation was PBSCs in 362; marrow in 240) were compared to first-time PBSC donors (n = 16,095). For donors giving a second PBSC or marrow donation there were no significant differences in maximum skeletal pain, maximum symptoms measured by an established modified toxicity criteria, and recovery time compared with those who donated only once. Notably, the yield of marrow nucleated cells and PBSC CD34+ cells with second donations was less. As previously noted with single first-time donations, female (PBSCs and marrow) and obese donors (PBSCs) had higher skeletal pain and/or toxicity with a second donation. PBSC donors who experienced high levels of pain or toxicity with the first donation also experienced high levels of these symptoms with their second donation and slower recovery times. In conclusion, for most donors second donation experiences were similar to first donation experiences, but CD34+ yields were less. Knowledge of the donor's first experience and stem cell yields may help centers decide whether second donations are appropriate and institute measures to improve donor experiences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is widely used to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) in healthy donors. A few reports have shown that some healthy donors developed acute respiratory distress syndrome or capillary leak syndrome after more than several rounds of G-CSF administration or leukapheresis. CASE REPORT We report the case of a healthy donor for allogeneic stem cell transplantation who developed severe hypoxemia 1 h after only the first administration of G-CSF. The donor was administered 10 μg/kg G-CSF (lenograstim) subcutaneously for PBSC mobilization. 1 h after the first administration of G-CSF, the donor suddenly presented with dry cough and dyspnea. The oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO2) in the room air was 88%. An electrocardiogram and chest radiography revealed no abnormalities. We excluded other causes of severe hypoxemia and diagnosed the donor with hypoxemia due to G-CSF administration, which was subsequently terminated. The donor was administered 2 l/min oxygen via a nasal cannula and 100 mg hydrocortisone intravenously. He subsequently recovered, and SpO2 in the room air returned to 98% 10 h after hypoxemia. CONCLUSION These respiratory symptoms might be related to anaphylactoid or hypersensitivity reaction. The donors should be observed for at least 1 h after the first administration of G-CSF.

Abstract
Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are widely used for autologous blood stem cell transplantation (ABSCT). These cells must be stored for months or even years, usually at temperatures ≤-140°C, until their use. Although several in vitro studies on CD34+ viability and clonogenic assays of PBSCs after long-term storage have been reported, only a few publications have investigated the influence of long-term storage on in vivo hematopoietic reconstitution. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed hematopoietic recovery after storage of PBSCs via controlled-rate freezing (CRF) and cryostorage in 10% DMSO at ≤-140°C in 105 patients with multiple myeloma who received high-dose melphalan before ABSCT. Three groups of PBSC transplantation (n = 247) were delineated based on the storage period: short-term (≤12 months, n = 143), medium-term (>12 and ≤60 months, n = 75), and long-term storage (>60 months, n = 29). A neutrophil increase of ≥.5 × 109/L in medium-term or long-term PBSC cryopreservation groups was observed at day 14 after ABSCT; this increase was comparable to patients who received briefly stored PBSCs (day 15). No negative effect of PBSC storage duration was observed on leucocyte or neutrophil reconstitution. Platelet reconstitutions of ≥20 × 109/L and 50 × 109/L were observed after median times of 10 to 11 and 13 to 14 days after ABSCT, respectively. No influence of PBSC storage duration on platelet recovery of ≥20 × 109/L and ≥50 × 109/L was observed in the 3 storage groups (P = .07, P = .32). The number of previous ABSCTs also had no significant impact upon hematopoietic reconstitution. In conclusion, these results indicate that long-term cryopreservation of PBSC products at vapor nitrogen temperature after CRF does not have a negative effect on hematopoietic recovery even after prolonged storage.

Abstract
Autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) represents a therapeutic option widely used for hematopoietic malignancies. One important milestone in the development of this treatment strategy was the development of effective cryopreservation technologies resulting in a high quality with respect to cell viability as well as lack of contamination of the graft.Stem cell preparations have been initially performed within standard laboratories as it is routinely still the case in many countries. With the emergence of cleanrooms, manufacturing of stem cell preparations within these facilities has become a new standard mandatory in Europe. However, due to high costs and laborious procedures, novel developments recently emerged using closed bag systems as reliable alternatives to conventional cleanrooms. Several hurdles needed to be overcome including the addition of the cryoprotectant dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as a relevant manipulation. As a result of the development, closed bag systems proved to be comparable in terms of product quality and patient outcome to cleanroom products. They also comply with the strict regulations of good manufacturing practice.With closed systems being available, costs and efforts of a cleanroom facility may be substantially reduced in the future. The process can be easily extended for other cell preparations requiring minor modifications as donor lymphocyte preparations. Moreover, novel developments may provide solutions for the production of advanced-therapy medicinal products in closed systems.

Abstract
We enrolled 30 patients on a prospective phase II trial utilizing a total body irradiation (TBI)-based myeloablative preparative regimen (fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day × 3 days and TBI 150 cGy twice per day on day -4 to -1 [total dose 1200 cGy]) followed by infusion of unmanipulated peripheral blood stem cells from a haploidentical family donor (haplo). Postgrafting immunosuppression consisted of cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg/day on days 3 and 4, mycophenolate mofetil through day 35, and tacrolimus through day 180. Median patient age was 46.5 years (range, 24 to 60). Transplantation diagnosis included acute myelogenous leukemia (n = 16), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 6), chronic myelogenous leukemia (n = 5), myelodysplastic syndrome (n = 1), and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 2). Using the Dana Farber/Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research/Disease Risk Index (DRI), patients were classified as low (n = 4), intermediate (n = 12), high (n = 11), and very high (n = 3) risk. All patients engrafted with a median time to neutrophil and platelet recovery of 16 and 25 days, respectively. All evaluable patients achieved sustained complete donor T cell and myeloid chimerism by day +30. Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grades II to IV and III and IV was seen in 43% and 23%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 56% (severe in 10%). After a median follow-up of 24 months, the estimated 2-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), nonrelapse mortality, and relapse rate were 78%, 73%, 3%, and 24%, respectively. Two-year DFS and relapse rate in patients with low/intermediate risk disease was 100% and 0%, respectively, compared with 39% and 53% for patients with high/very high risk disease. When compared with a contemporaneously treated cohort of patients at our institution receiving myeloablative HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD) transplantation (acute myelogenous leukemia [n = 17], acute lymphoblastic leukemia [n = 15], chronic myelogenous leukemia [n = 7], myelodysplastic syndrome [n = 7], non-Hodgkin lymphoma [n = 1], chronic lymphoblastic leukemia [n = 1]), outcomes were statistically similar, with 2-yr OS and DFS being 78% and 73%, respectively after haplo transplantation versus 71% and 64%, respectively, after MUD transplantation. In patients with DRI low/intermediate risk disease, 2-yr DFS was superior after haplo compared with MUD transplantations (100% versus 74%, P = .032), whereas there was no difference in DFS in patients with high/very high risk disease (39% versus 37% for haplo and MUD respectively, P = .821). Grade II to IV acute GVHD was seen less often after haplo compared with MUD transplantation (43% versus 63%, P = .049), as was moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD (22% versus 58%, P = .003). Myeloablative haplo transplantation using this regimen is a valid option for patients with advanced hematologic malignancies who lack timely access to a conventional donor. Outcomes appear at least equivalent to those seen in contemporaneous patients who underwent transplantation from MUD.

Abstract
During more recent years only few studies have analyzed the effect of total nucleated cell (TNC) and CD34(+) cell dose in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). A single-center analysis included 544 patients, 227 with a sibling donor and 317 with an unrelated donor. Most patients (n = 292) were treated with myeloablative conditioning, whereas the remaining patients (n = 252) received reduced-intensity conditioning. Bone marrow (BM) (n = 121) and peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts (n = 423) were analyzed separately. Median TNC and CD34(+) cell dose was 3.2 × 10(8)/kg versus 11.6 × 10(8)/kg in BM and 3.9 × 10(6)/kg versus 8.1 × 10(6)/kg in PBSC. In the BM group we found a higher TNC and CD34(+) cell dose was associated with a faster neutrophil engraftment (P < .001 and P = .02). In the PBSC group we found patients given a very high (≥11 × 10(6)/kg) CD34(+) cell dose had decreased rates of survival (P = .001) and increased relapse (P = .02). A high CD34(+) cell dose correlated with faster platelet engraftment (P < .01). In HSCT using PBSCs, the CD34(+) cell doses should be kept below 11 × 10(6)/kg but over 2.5 × 10(6)/kg.

Abstract
The physical reactions to hematopoietic stem cell donation have been extensively studied, but less is known about factors that predict poorer donation experiences. The aim of this prospective study was to examine demographic and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) factors that might be associated with recovery and side effects. We also described the changes in HRQOL during the donation process. In total, 275 peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) and 37 bone marrow (BM) consecutive donors completed the SF-36 questionnaire predonation and 4 weeks, and 3 months postdonation. Predonation HRQOL markers were the strongest predictors of time to recovery. Poorer predonation physical health was associated with longer recovery (P = .017) and certain side effects in PBSC donors. Poorer predonation mental health was associated with longer recovery in BM donors (P = .03) and pain after PBSC donation (P = .003). Physical HRQOL scores declined significantly from predonation to 4 weeks postdonation. This was shown both for PBSC and BM donors (P < .001 and P = .009, respectively), but the decline was much greater for BM donors. There was a return to predonation HRQOL values 3 months after donation in both groups with values well above the mean of the general population (P < .001).

Abstract
Prospective trials comparing tandem autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) with ASCT followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation (AlloSCT) have shown mixed results with regard to progression-free and overall survival rates. Thus, AlloSCT, although a potentially curative treatment, is not regarded as a standard treatment for multiple myeloma by most experts in the field. Strategies to improve the therapeutic index of the conditioning regimens have the potential to improve outcomes. Other approaches to modulate graft-versus-host disease while preserving or improving a graft-versus-myeloma effect could elevate AlloSCT to mainstream treatment. These approaches include vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and adoptive immunotherapies.

Abstract
Hemopoietic system derived progenitor cells with mesenchymal features have been identified including CD14(+) monocyte-derived progenitors. However, it is unclear whether there are mesenchyme derived progenitors with hematopoietic potential. Herein, we identified a novel CD14(-) cell-derived population with both mesenchymal and hematopoietic features in rat peripheral blood, and this cell population is different from the CD14(+) monocyte-derived progenitors but designated peripheral blood multipotential mesenchymal progenitors (PBMMPs). Phenotype analysis demonstrated expression of mesenchymal markers in PBMMPs including BMPRs, Endoglin/CD105, Fibronectin (Fn), Vimentin (Vim), Collagen (Col) I/II/III along with hematopoietic marker CD34. CD14(+) cell-derived population shared the same characteristics with CFs. In mixed culture of CD14(+) and CD14(-) cells, PBMMPs were a predominant component and expressed CD29(high), CD73(high), CD34(high), CD45(low) and CD90. Except for the value of mixed T lymphocytes and CD14(+) cell-derived population, hematopoietic characters of cultured PBMMPs were indicated by CD14(-)/CD34(+)/CD45(-)/CD90(+). The mesenchymal origin was further confirmed by comparing PBMMPs with bone marrow stromal cells. Finally, we transplanted PBMMPs into a skin wound model, and results showed the specific potential of PBMMPs in not only extracellular matrix secretion but epidermal regeneration. This study provides evidence that peripheral blood contains common hematopoietic-mesenchymal progenitors from both hematopoietic and mesenchymal lineages, and CD34(+) mesenchymal progenitors are a possible alternative source of epidermal cells in wound healing.
