COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT ANTI-HUMAN T CELL GLOBULINS ON IMMUNE RECONSTITUTION AND EARLY INFECTIONS AFTER CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE-BASED CONDITIONING FOLLOWED BY AUTOLOGOUS TRANSPLANT IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (EBMT 2025) - "It is usually augmented by in vivo T-cell depletion using polyclonal anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG: Thymoglobulin; Genzyme-Sanofi) or anti-T lymphocyte globulin (ATLG: Grafalon, Neovii). Both are derived by vaccination of rabbits with human thymocytes (ATG) or the Jurkat T cell line (ATLG)...Virus reactivations were solely observed in the ATG group: CMV reactivation was detected in 5 patients, of whom 4 received outpatient treatment with Valaciclovir... Patients receiving ATLG demonstrated significantly higher numbers of B and T cells on day +30 compared to patients receiving ATG. We observed significantly lower numbers of moderate to mild infectious complications in the ATLG group. No severe infectious complications or death was noted."

GRAFT VERSUS HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS WITH ATG OR PTCY AFTER ALLOGENEIC TRANSPLANTATION FROM VOLUNTEER UNRELATED DONORS. A SINGLE CENTER RETROSPECTIVE PSEUDO-RANDOMIZED ANALYSIS (EBMT 2025) - "In our center we routinely used low dose alemtuzumab (Campath), however, since this drug is not provided any more by the manufacturer, we changed our GVHD prevention strategy to Anti T-lymphocyte globulin (Grafalon). As current data suggest that post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCY) could be an efficient GVHD prophylactic strategy also in 10/10 well matched UD (WMUD) and 9/10 mismatched UD (MMUD) allo-HCT, after we treated 7 patients with ATG we decided to start to pseudo-randomize consecutive patients in receiving ATG or PTCY according to their unique patient number...Cyclosporine was administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day from day -3, in both groups, with doses adjusted to maintain a through level of 200-400 ng/ml. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) at a dosage of 1000 mg bd was added, in both groups, from day +1 until d+60, when allo-HCT was performed from a MMUD... We conclude that both ATG and PTCY are effective in preventing GVHD in UD allo-HCT. With the limited..."

EARLY LOW-DOSE ATG CONDITIONING FOR SINGLE UNIT CORD BLOOD TRANSPLANT IN HIGH-RISK MALIGNANCIES: GOOD ENGRAFTMENT, REDUCED GVHD, AND LOW NRM (EBMT 2025) - "In 88% of patients the conditioning regimen was Thiotepa, Busulfan, and Fludarabine-based (TBF), with the remaining receiving total body irradiation (TBI). A total low dose (15 mg/kg) of ATG (Grafalon, Neovii) was given from day -6 to -2. GvHD prophylaxis included cyclosporine (CSA) and Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF), which was given until day +35... This study shows that single-unit CBT with an early, low-dose ATG-based conditioning regimen achieves high engraftment rates and rapid leukocyte recovery. Despite the very high-risk clinical profiles of these patients, the incidence of GvHD was low and NRM remained acceptable. These findings show that CBT still represents an effective option for high-risk patients lacking suitable donors."

DONOR CD45 RA DEPLETED CELLS FOR THE TREATMENT OF SEVERE CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS FOLLOWING HAPLOIDENTICAL HSCT (EBMT 2025) - "Both were homozygous for c.5134 C>A mutations in DOCK8, reported to be a founder mutation in the Bedouin population of southern Israel.Pre-transplant conditioning included Fludarabine (160 mg/m2), Treosulfan (36 g/m2), Thiotepa (10mg/kg), anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG-Grafalon) (12mg/kg), and Rituximab (200mg/m2)...Both patients had profound weight loss and required parenteral nutrition; Neither responded to conventional anti-cryptosporidial therapy including Nitazoxanide, Paromomycin and Azithromycin... Donor CD45RA-depleted cells represent a promising therapeutic strategy for severe cryptosporidiosis in patients following haploidentical HSCT prior to T cell recovery. Use of CD45RA depletion obviates the need for exposure of donor cells to specific stimulatory peptides, and demonstrates promise in the treatment if unusual infections in this at-risk population."
