As outlined in this review, ACT was initiated by hematopoietic cell transplantation (HSCT) and re-injection of interleukin-boosted tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). The innovative venture of genetically modifying autologous peripheral T-cells to target them to cell-surface tumoral antigens through an antibody-derived structure (i.e. independent of major histocompatibility antigen presentation, physiologically necessary for T-cell activation), and intracytoplasmic T-cell costimulatory peptides, via a novel membrane CAR, has been an outstanding breakthrough. Here, focusing on B-cell hematological malignancies and mostly non-Hodgkin lymphoma, attention is brought to the importance of providing an optimal microenvironment for such therapeutic cells to proliferate and positively develop anti-tumoral cytotoxicity. This, perhaps paradoxically, implies a pre-infusion step of deep lymphopenia and deregulation of immunosuppressive mechanisms enhanced by tumoral cells. Fludarabine and cyclophosphamide appear to be the most efficient lymphodepletive drugs in this context, dosage being of importance, as will be illustrated by a thorough literature review.","PeriodicalId":9126,"journal":{"name":"Bone Marrow Transplantation","volume":"60 5","pages":"559-567"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41409-025-02539-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143728529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both SCD and HCT cause kidney damage. This study analyzed data from 160 patients who received nonmyelablative HCT for SCD. Renal function was assessed at baseline and annually for 3years. The rate of new-onset eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2 was low (2.8%). Rapid kidney function decline in the first year post-HCT was noted in 7.5% of patients but was not associated with subsequently worse renal function. The eGFR decreased post-HCT (1 year: –7.19 p < 0.0001, 2 year: –11.32 p < 0.0001, 3 year: -12.37 ml/min/1.73m2 p < 0.0001). Mean eGFR remained within normal limits throughout the follow-up period (1 year:119, 2 year:115, 3 year:113 ml/min/1.73m2). Hyperfiltration rates decreased with a corresponding increase in patients with normal eGFR post-HCT. Therefore, the decline in eGFR after HCT may represent preservation of renal function. The prevalence of kidney damage increased transiently but, by 3 years post-HCT, was not significantly changed from baseline. Most cases of kidney damage were due to albuminuria. AKI, noted early post-HCT in 39% of patients, was most commonly stage 1 and was associated with decreased survival (p = 0.03). Larger studies with longer follow-up are required to explore the effects of HCT on renal function in patients with SCD.","PeriodicalId":9126,"journal":{"name":"Bone Marrow Transplantation","volume":"60 5","pages":"690-696"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143691049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the standard curative treatment.

Twenty patients with TDT (median age 10 years; range 2–23) received either a matched sibling donor (MSD; n = 7) or a haplo-HSCT (n = 13) in a single center (Regensburg, Germany) between 2016 and 2022, including two patients referred for a haplo-HSCT as rescue failing prior MD- and haplo-HSCT, respectively.
