Induction immunosuppression strategies and outcomes post-lung transplant: A single center experience
Purpose
Currently 80% of lung transplant centers use induction immunosuppression. However, there is a lack of standardization of induction protocols within and across lung transplant centers. This study explores the association of two different induction immunosuppression strategies used at our center [single dose rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) vs. alemtuzumab] compared to no induction with immunologic and clinical outcomes after lung transplantation.
Methods
A total of 174 consecutive lung transplant recipients (LTR) between 2016 and 2019 were included in the analysis. Twenty nine LTR (16.7%) received no induction, 22 LTR (12.6%) received alemtuzumab, 123 LTR (70.6%) received a single dose of rATG; 1.5 mg/kg within 24 h of transplant for induction. All LTR had a negative flow cytometry crossmatch on the day of the transplant. All LTR were assessed for de novo HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA) development and clinical outcomes, including the risk of acute cellular rejection (ACR), antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), and overall survival post-transplant.
Results
The median lung allocation score (LAS) was significantly higher in LTR that did not receive Induction immunosuppression (76; range = 35.3–94.3) compared to induction with rATG (41.6; range = 31.6–91) and alemtuzumab (51; range = 33.1–88.2) (p < 0.001). De novo HLA DSA were detected in 50/174 (28.7%) LTR within 12 months post-transplant. They were detected in 13/29 (44.8%) LTR without induction immunosuppression compared to 28/123 (22.8%) and 9/22 (40.9%) LTR with rATG and alemtuzumab induction, respectively (p = 0.02). The percent freedom from ACR rates between LTR who received alemtuzumab induction was significantly higher compared to LTR who received rATG or no induction at 1 (p = 0.02), 2 (p = 0.01) and 3 (p = 0.05) years post-transplant. In addition, the overall 1-year survival rates were significantly higher in LTR who received rATG or alemtuzumab induction compared to LTR without induction immunosuppression (p = 0.02).
Conclusion
Induction immunosuppression strategies utilizing rATG or Alemtuzumab have unique and contrasting benefits in LTR. Combination of alemtuzumab induction and a lower dose of maintenance immunosuppression may reduce the incidence of ACR in LTR. Single-dose rATG or alemtuzumab induction immunosuppression may also improve the 1 year overall LTR survival compared to no induction.
期刊介绍:
Transplant Immunology will publish up-to-date information on all aspects of the broad field it encompasses. The journal will be directed at (basic) scientists, tissue typers, transplant physicians and surgeons, and research and data on all immunological aspects of organ-, tissue- and (haematopoietic) stem cell transplantation are of potential interest to the readers of Transplant Immunology. Original papers, Review articles and Hypotheses will be considered for publication and submitted manuscripts will be rapidly peer-reviewed and published. They will be judged on the basis of scientific merit, originality, timeliness and quality.
