HSCT

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation is a serious complication after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), particularly in patients with resolved HBV infection (HBsAg-negative, anti-HBc-positive). The incidence ranges from 10% to 40%, and severe reactivation can lead to hepatitis flare, hepatic failure, and death. Several risk factors have been identified: low recipient anti-HBs titre, donor anti-HBs negativity, recipient age ≥50 years, chronic GVHD, and use of rituximab. However, no validated clinical prediction model exists for this specific population. The only available study (Zhang et al., BBMT 2020) performed risk factor analysis but did not develop a predictive nomogram, and the sample size was limited (only 16 reactivation events). Therefore, we aim to develop and externally validate a robust nomogram using a large multicentre retrospective cohort and then validate its performance in a prospective cohort

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially life-saving treatment for children with relapsed or resistant leukemia and other life-threatening hematological and hereditary disorders. In Denmark, around 25 children undergo allogeneic HSCT every year, of these approximately 85-90% survive into adulthood. The goal of this observational study is to learn about neurocognitive outcomes in children undergoing (HSCT) and to understand which clinical, physical, and environmental factors may affect neurocognitive development during the first year after transplant. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does neurocognitive function change from before HSCT to one year after transplantation in pediatric patients? Which clinical, physical, and environmental factors are linked to better or worse neurocognitive outcomes? Participants will: Complete neurocognitive tests before HSCT and at 1-year follow-up, covering intelligence, memory, attention, executive function, processing speed, and motor skills. Undergo physical tests before HSCT, at hospital discharge, at 6-months follow-up, and at 1-year follow-up, including muscle strength, mobility, endurance, balance, and cardiopulmonary fitness (only at 1-year follow-up). Wear activity trackers to measure physical activity and sedentary time during hospitalization at 6 months and 1-year post-HSCT. Complete questionnaires about sleep, pain, quality of life, fatigue, family background, and exposure to outdoor and green spaces. Have medical records reviewed for treatment-related side effects, immune recovery, inflammation, and pain management. This study will help understand how neurocognitive function develops after HSCT in children and which factors (clinical, physical, or environmental) may support better recovery and well-being.

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Romiplostim N01 in promoting platelet engraftment after haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) in patients with hematologic malignancies. A total of 130 patients who undergo haplo-HSCT for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or other hematologic malignancies will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group will receive Romiplostim N01 subcutaneously once weekly at a starting dose of 5 µg/kg, with dose adjustments based on platelet counts (maximum 10 µg/kg), for up to 4 weeks or until platelet counts reach ≥100 × 10⁹/L. The control group will not receive rh-TPO or any thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) therapy. Supportive care including transfusions and growth factors (G-CSF, ESA) is allowed in both groups. The primary endpoint is the cumulative platelet engraftment rate by day +21 post-transplant, defined as sustained platelet counts \> 20 × 10⁹/L for at least 7 consecutive days without transfusion. Secondary endpoints include median time to platelet engraftment, median time to achieve platelet counts ≥ 50 × 10⁹/L and ≥ 100 × 10⁹/L, total platelet transfusion volume, erythroid and neutrophil responses within 4 weeks, and overall hematopoietic recovery. Safety endpoints include the incidence of adverse events, thromboembolic events, and treatment-related serious adverse events. The study aims to determine whether early administration of Romiplostim N01 can accelerate platelet recovery and reduce bleeding risk in patients undergoing haplo-HSCT, thereby improving post-transplant outcomes.

Nijmegen breakage syndrome is one of the DNA repair defect disorders. A characteristic feature of these syndromes is a predisposition to the development of malignant neoplasms. The only curative option for the combined immunodeficiency in Nijmegen breakage syndrome is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In addition to correcting the immunodeficiency, HSCT can reduce the risk of developing hematopoietic tumors. Due to the increased sensitivity of cells in patients with Nijmegen breakage syndrome to alkylating drugs, the use of standard myeloablative conditioning regimens for this disease significantly increases the risks of toxic complications and transplant-related mortality. Treosulfan is an alkylating agent that has demonstrated efficacy with comparatively low risks of toxic complications when used as part of conditioning prior to allogeneic HSCT for various diseases in patients of all age groups. There is currently experience using treosulfan in patients with Nijmegen breakage syndrome at reduced doses (21 and 30 g/m²). However, a number of questions remain unresolved. Based on our previous experience, a dose of 21 g/m² is sufficient for patients with Nijmegen breakage syndrome without a malignant disease, as it ensures good graft function (a high probability of full donor chimerism and control of the immunodeficiency). At the same time, there is reason to believe that this dose is insufficient to provide an antitumor effect from the conditioning. We are planning a multicenter study to investigate treosulfan-based conditioning in patients with Nijmegen breakage syndrome, which will stratify patients based on the presence or absence of malignant disease. Patients without a tumor will receive treosulfan at a dose of 21 g/m², and patients with a tumor will receive 30 g/m².

EBV DNAemia is defined as the presence of EBV-DNA load in peripheral blood exceeding the normal threshold, serving as a key diagnostic indicator for EBV-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (EBV-PTLD). According to the European Conference on Infections in Leukemia (ECIL-6) guidelines, regular monitoring of peripheral blood EBV-DNA levels via quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is recommended starting from the first month after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with a weekly frequency sustained for at least 4 months post-transplant. For HSCT patients who develop EBV DNAemia, preemptive therapy should be initiated promptly. EBV-PTLD is a serious complication that may progress rapidly; if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, mortality rates can reach 60-80%. Current guidelines recommend CD20 monoclonal antibody (rituximab) as the first-line preemptive treatment. The response rate to rituximab is approximately 84%. The typical regimen consists of 375 mg/m² per dose, administered weekly, with 1-4 doses generally sufficient to achieve treatment goals. However, a subset of patients exhibits poor response to first-line therapy and requires second-line interventions, such as EBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (EBV-CTLs), donor lymphocyte infusion, or combination chemotherapy. Zuberitamab is a novel anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and the first Class 1 innovative biologics targeting CD20 developed in China. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that zuberitamab exhibits stronger antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity compared to rituximab. In a pivotal Phase III registrational clinical study, zuberitamab combined with CHOP (Hi-CHOP) was evaluated head-to-head against R-CHOP in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The results showed an improvement in the complete response (CR) rate by more than 8% (85.7% vs. 77.3%, P = 0.038). These findings indicate that zuberitamab holds significant advantages over rituximab in terms of both biological activity and clinical efficacy. Based on this evidence, we have initiated a Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zuberitamab as first-line preemptive therapy for EBV infection. This is a prospective Phase II clinical trial enrolling patients with EBV infection following transplantation. Zuberitamab will be administered as first-line preemptive therapy.

Study on the Efficacy and Safety of a Reduced-Toxicity Conditioning Regimen Containing Thiotepa and Melphalan in Patients with Blast Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) represents a major therapeutic strategy for malignant hematologic diseases, with the number of procedures steadily increasing in France each year. Conditioning and maintenance regimens carry a risk of both short- and long-term cardiotoxicity, leading to serious cardiovascular events including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), cardiac dysfunction, arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension, and pericardial effusion. The pathophysiology of cardiotoxicity in HSCT patients remains poorly understood. It is therefore crucial to investigate underlying mechanisms and identify predictive factors of cardiotoxicity in order to provide appropriate cardiological follow-up and management. Current European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommend routine monitoring of HSCT patients with echocardiography and cardiac biomarkers (NT-proBNP, troponin), although these recommendations are based on small-scale studies. The cardiodepressor factor DPP3 has shown promising results in cardio-oncology, with a causal role in anthracycline-induced cardiac dysfunction. Its role in HSCT-related cardiotoxicity requires further evaluation. This multicenter study of HSCT recipients will be a valuable resource, enabling a better understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiotoxicity and prognosis. It will highlight imaging (echocardiography, calcium score, supra-aortic Doppler), electrocardiographic, and biological markers (including DPP3) associated with prognosis.

The TBI-containing reduced-dose conditioning regimen was used to treat elderly patients with aplastic anemia who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The overall survival rate, GVHD-free survival rate, all-cause mortality,et al were studied. The modified conditioning regimen included TBI 2Gy, -7d, busulfan 3.2mg / kg-6d ; fludarabine 30mg / m2 / d-5 \~ -1d ; cyclophosphamide 25-30mg / kg / d-5 \~ -2d ; ATG ( rabbit ) 2 mg / kg / d-5 \~ -1d.

This study is a single-center, prospective, single-arm exploratory study. Ph + acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were recruited from the Stem Cell Transplantation Center of the Hospital of Hematology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The number of patients is expected to be 50 cases. The enrolled patients plan to receive Olverembatinib as a post-transplant treatment regimen, including maintenance therapy to prevent recurrence and preemptive treatment. Hematopoietic reconstitution ( neutrophil \> 0.5 × 10 \^ 9 / L, platelet \> 50 × 10 \^ 9 / L ) was evaluated after enrollment. From 2 months to 3 months after transplantation, Olverembatinib 40 mg QOD was added for maintenance treatment until 2 years after transplantation. During maintenance treatment, Olverembatinib dose ( dose range 20 mg QOD to 40 mg QOD ) can be adjusted according to blood picture, biochemical index or other oral drugs ( triazole drugs, etc. ).

The goal of this clinical trial is to have a successful engraftment in after bone transplantation. Acute leukemia patient of both sexes aged 2 to 18 years, who are transplant candidates, participate in this study. Primary hypothesis is Patients receiving SMOF LIPID will have better grafts than patients receiving intralipid. Also, complications after surgery and malnutrition will be less in this group.
