    Abstract The management of paediatric patients with refractory acute lymphoblastic leukaemia eligible for the CAR T cell product tisagenlecleucel involves multiple decision points between the process of patient referral to product infusion. How to address the individual patient's circumstances, optimize apheresis yields and, above all, plan the best bridging chemotherapy is clearly detailed in these comprehensive and practical recommendations by Kumar Mishra and colleagues. Commentary on: Mishra et al. Practice guideline: Preparation for CAR T-cell therapy in children and young adults with B-acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

    Abstract The ALL SCTped 2012 FORUM (For Omitting Radiation Under Majority age) trial compared outcomes for children ≥4 years of age transplanted for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) who were randomised to myeloablation with a total body irradiation (TBI)-based or chemotherapy-based conditioning regimen. The TBI-based preparation was associated with a lower rate of relapse compared with chemoconditioning. Nevertheless, the age considered suitable for TBI was progressively raised over time to spare the most fragile youngest patients from irradiation-related complications. The best approach to use for children <4 years of age remains unclear. Children diagnosed with ALL in their first year of life, defined as infants, have a remarkably poorer prognosis compared with older children. This is largely explained by the biology of their ALL, with infants often carrying a

    Abstract Analysis of donor-recipient chimerism after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is of pivotal importance for patient's clinical management, especially in the context of mixed chimerism. Patients are routinely monitored for chimerism in sorted subsets of peripheral blood cells. However, measurement of chimerism in sorted immune cell subsets is technically challenging and time consuming. We here propose a novel, flow cytometry-based approach to detect donor cell chimerism in sex-mismatched HSCT. We exploit RNA PrimeFlow™ system, based on RNA hybridization, to detect mRNA from a lysine demethylase encoded by Y chromosome, KDM5D. This approach allows to distinguish male and female derived cells with around 1% sensitivity. The procedure can be coupled with multiparametric immunophenotyping to assess chimerism in specific immune cell subsets without the need for prior FACS-sorting. We apply this method to a cohort of HSCT patients (n = 10) and we show that it is consistent with standard PCR-based method. We also show that different T lymphocyte subsets display variable degrees of donor chimerism, especially in CD8+ T cell compartment where we observe an enrichment for recipient chimerism in central memory T cells. This method can be exploited to advance current knowledge on immune reconstitution focusing on specific subsets avoiding prior FACS-sorting.

    Abstract Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for hematologic malignancies during childhood have an increased risk of developing long-term sequelae that are in part attributable to the conditioning regimen. The present study aimed to assess the occurrence of long-term toxicities in a population of children who underwent HSCT for hematologic malignancies using either treosulfan or busulfan in the conditioning regimen. The cumulative incidences of growth impairment, altered gonadal function, altered thyroid function, cataracts, secondary malignant neoplasia, and altered pulmonary function were evaluated retrospectively by univariable and multivariable analyses in a population of 521 pediatric patients with acute leukemias or myelodysplastic syndromes treated in 20 Italian transplant centers affiliated with the Associazione Italiana Ematologia ed Oncologia Pediatrica (AIEOP). The median duration of follow-up for the entire study population was 7.1 years (range, 1 to 16 years). Overall, a larger proportion of patients given busulfan developed long-term toxicities compared to patients treated with treosulfan (34% versus 20%; P = .01). In univariable analysis, gonadal toxicity developed in 10% of patients who received treosulfan (95% confidence interval [CI], 3% to 15%), compared with 38% (95% CI, 24% to 39%) of busulfan-treated patients (P = .02), and this finding was confirmed by multivariable analysis (relative risk, .51; 95% CI, .34 to .76; P = .0009). We did not find any statistically significant associations between the occurrence of other long-term toxicities and the use of either busulfan or treosulfan. This study provides evidence that the use of treosulfan is correlated with a reduced incidence of gonadal toxicity in children undergoing HSCT for hematologic malignancies.

    Abstract Thrombocytopenia results from a variety of conditions, including radiation, chemotherapy, autoimmune disease, bone marrow disorders, pathologic conditions associated with surgical procedures, hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), and hematologic disorders associated with severe aplastic anemia. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is caused by immune reactions that accelerate destruction and reduce production of platelets. Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a critical component of platelet production pathways, and TPO receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) are important for the management of ITP by increasing platelet production and reducing the need for other treatments. Romiplostim is a TPO-RA approved for use in patients with ITP in the United States, European Union, Australia, and several countries in Africa and Asia, as well as for use in patients with refractory aplastic anemia in Japan and Korea. Romiplostim binds to and activates the TPO receptor on megakaryocyte precursors, thus promoting cell proliferation and viability, resulting in increased platelet production. Through this mechanism, romiplostim reduces the need for other treatments and decreases bleeding events in patients with thrombocytopenia. In addition to its efficacy in ITP, studies have shown that romiplostim is effective in improving platelet counts in various settings, thereby highlighting the versatility of romiplostim. The efficacy of romiplostim in such disorders is currently under investigation. Here, we review the structure, mechanism, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of romiplostim. We also summarize the clinical evidence supporting its use in ITP and other disorders that involve thrombocytopenia, including chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia, acute radiation syndrome, perisurgical thrombocytopenia, post-HSCT thrombocytopenia, and liver disease.

    Abstract Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal disorder worldwide. Along with intellectual disability, endocrine disorders represent a remarkable share of the morbidities experienced by children, adolescents and young adults with DS. Auxological parameters are plotted on syndrome-specific charts, as growth rates are reduced compared to healthy age- and gender-matched peers. Furthermore, children with DS are at increased risk for thyroid dysfunctions, diabetes mellitus, osteopenia and obesity compared to general population. Additionally, male individuals with DS often show infertility, while women tend to experience menopause at an overall younger age than healthy controls. Given the recent outstanding improvements in the care of severe DS-related comorbidities, infant mortality has dramatically decreased, with a current average life expectancy exceeding 60 years. Accordingly, the awareness of the specificities of DS in this field is pivotal to timely detect endocrine dysfunctions and to undertake a prompt dedicated treatment. Notably, best practices for the screening and monitoring of pediatric endocrine disorders in DS are still controversial. In addition, specific guidelines for the management of metabolic issues along the challenging period of transitioning from pediatric to adult health care are lacking. By performing a review of published literature, we highlighted the issues specifically involving children and adolescent with DS, aiming at providing clinicians with a detailed up-to-date overview of the endocrine, metabolic and auxological disorders in this selected population, with an additional focus on the management of patients in the critical phase of the transitioning from childhood to adult care.
