    Abstract Autoimmune diseases (ADs) represent a heterogenous group of complex diseases with increasing incidence in Western countries and are a major cause of morbidity. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has evolved over the last 25 years as a specific treatment for patients with severe ADs, through eradication of the pathogenic immunologic memory and profound immune renewal. HSCT for ADs is recently facing a unique developmental phase across transplant centers. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent evidence and developments in the area, including fundamentals of preclinical research, clinical studies in neurologic, rheumatologic and gastroenterologic diseases, which represent major indications at present, along with evidence of HSCT for rarer indications. Moreover, we describe the interwoven challenges of delivering more advanced cellular therapies, exploiting mesenchymal stem cells, regulatory T cells and potentially CAR-T cell therapies, in patients affected by ADs. Overall, we discuss past and current indications, efficacy, associated risks and benefits, and future directions of HSCT and advanced cellular therapies in the treatment of severe/refractory ADs, integrating the available literature with European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) registry data.

    Abstract Although modern clinical management strategies have improved the outcome of paediatric patients with severe autoimmune and inflammatory diseases over recent decades, a proportion will experience ongoing or recurrent/relapsing disease activity despite multiple therapies often leading to irreversible organ damage, and compromised quality of life, growth/development and long-term survival. Autologous and allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have been used successfully to induce disease control and often apparent cure of severe treatment-refractory autoimmune diseases (ADs) in children. However, transplant-related outcomes are disease-dependent and long-term outcome data are limited in respect to efficacy and safety. Moreover, balancing risks of HSCT against AD prognosis with continually evolving non-transplant options is challenging. This review appraises published literature on HSCT strategies and outcomes in individual paediatric ADs. We also provide a summary of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Registry, where 343 HSCT procedures (176 autologous and 167 allogeneic) have been reported in 326 children (<18 years) for a range of AD indications. HSCT is a promising treatment modality, with potential long-term disease control or cure, but therapy-related morbidity and mortality need to be reduced. Further research is warranted to establish the position of HSCT in paediatric ADs via registries and prospective clinical studies to support evidence-based interspeciality guidelines and recommendations.

    Abstract VEXAS (Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic) is a novel entity manifesting with a multiplicity of clinical features. Somatic mutations of the UBA1 gene in hematopoietic stem cells constitute the genetic basis of VEXAS. As an X-linked disorder, most cases occur in men, classically developing symptoms during the fifth to sixth decade of life. Considering its multidisciplinary nature involving numerous branches of internal medicine, VEXAS has elicited a wide medical interest and several medical conditions have been associated with this disease. Even so, its recognition in everyday clinical practice is not necessarily straightforward. Close collaboration between different medical specialists is mandatory. Patients with VEXAS may manifest a range of features from manageable cytopenias to disabling and life-threatening autoimmune phenomena with limited responses to therapy, with the potential for progression to hematological malignancies. Diagnostic and treatment guidelines are exploratory and include a range of rheumatological and supportive care treatments. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is potentially curative, but its risks are significant and its position in the treatment algorithm is yet to be defined. Herein, we present the variegated manifestations of VEXAS, provide practice criteria for diagnostic testing of UBA1, and discuss potential treatment options, including allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, current evidence, and future directions.

    Abstract The introduction of targeted biologic therapies has changed the treatment landscape for autoimmune diseases (ADs) substantially, but although these therapies provide more specificity, they require continuous administration, rarely restore organ function or reverse disability, and are not curative. Over the last 25 years, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been increasingly used to treat patients in whom the risk:benefit ratio of HSCT is acceptable. In contrast to chronic suppression of immune function, this intensive one-off procedure aims to provide treatment-free remissions by the reinduction of self-tolerance. The European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Autoimmune Diseases Working Party (ADWP) has been central to development of this approach, with over 3,300 HSCT registrations for ADs. Recent data have improved the evidence base to support autologous HSCT in multiple sclerosis, systemic sclerosis, and Crohn's disease, along with a wide range of rarer disease indications, and autologous HSCT has become an integral part of treatment algorithms in various ADs.

    Abstract Systemic lupus erythematous is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease with potentially multiorgan damage. Its complex etiopathogenesis involves genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors, leading to a loss of self-tolerance with autoantibody production and immune complex formation. Given the relevance of autoreactive B lymphocytes, several therapeutic approaches have been made targeting these cells. However, the disease remains incurable, reflecting an unmet need for effective strategies. Novel therapeutic concepts have been investigated to provide more specific and sustainable disease modification compared with continued immunosuppression. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has already provided the proof-of-concept that immunodepletion can lead to durable treatment-free remissions, albeit with significant treatment-related toxicity. In the future, chimeric antigen receptor-T-cell therapies, for example, CD19 chimeric antigen receptor-T, may provide a more effective lymphodepletion and with less toxicity than autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. An emerging field is to enhance immune tolerance by exploiting the suppressive capacities of regulatory T cells, which are dysfunctional in patients with systemic lupus erythematous, and thus resemble promising candidates for adoptive cell therapy. Different approaches have been developed in this area, from polyclonal to genetically engineered regulatory T cells. In this article, we discuss the current evidence and future directions of cellular therapies for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematous, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and advanced regulatory T-cell-based cellular therapies.
