Abstract
Outcomes of haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) have recently improved. In the past, limitations in expanding this form of transplant were related to profound in vivo and ex vivo T-cell depletion to avoid both primary graft rejection (PGF) and lethal graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Consequently, T-lymphocyte reconstitution was markedly hindered leading to significant rates of lethal infections associated with high rates of non-relapse mortality (NRM) and relapse of the malignant disease, limiting this strategy only to patients with no suitable donor in place. Recent developments during the last 5 years have changed this scenario dramatically. Novel strategies allowing the add-back of manipulated and selected depletion of T-lymphocytes and post-transplant alloreactive T-cell depletion (TCD) by high-dose cyclophosphamide after unmanipulated bone marrow (BM) or peripheral blood (PB) hematopoietic cell transplantation reach out to almost similar outcomes known from transplants from HLA-matched related and HLA-matched unrelated donors.
Here, we summarize the unique complications of haplo-HCT related to the immunological consequences of crossing the major histocompatibility barrier and potent immunosuppression required during the process of transplantation, such as PGF, genomic loss of HLA-mismatched human leukocyte antigen and viral reactivation, and a consequence of delayed or incomplete immune reconstitution.
