Abstract
Background: Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) insufficiency causes a primary immune regulatory disorder characterized by lymphoproliferation, dysgammaglobulinemia, and multiorgan autoimmunity including cytopenias and colitis.
Objective: We examined the outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for CTLA-4 insufficiency and study the impact of pre-HSCT CTLA-4 fusion protein (CTLA-4-Ig) therapy and pre-HSCT immune dysregulation on survival and immunologic outcome.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of HSCT for CTLA-4 insufficiency and 2q33.2-3 deletion from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation Inborn Errors Working Party. Primary end points were overall survival (OS) and disease- and chronic graft-versus-host disease-free survival (DFS). Secondary end point was immunologic outcome assessed by immune dysregulation disease activity (IDDA) score.
Results: Forty patients were included over a 25-year period. Before HSCT, 60% received CTLA-4-Ig, and median (range) IDDA score was 23.3 (3.9-84.0). Median (range) age at HSCT was 14.2 (1.3-56.0) years. Patients received peripheral blood stem cell (58%) or marrow (43%) from a matched unrelated donor (75%), mismatched unrelated donor (12.5%), or matched family donor (12.5%). Median (range) follow-up was 3 (0.6-15) years, and 3-year OS was 76.7% (58-87%) and DFS was 74.4% (54.9-86.0%). At latest follow-up, disease of 28 of 30 surviving patients was in disease-free remission with median IDDA reduction of 16. Probability of OS and DFS was greater in patients with lower disease activity before HSCT (IDDA < 23, P = .002 and P = .006, respectively). CTLA-4-Ig receipt did not influence OS or DFS. Cause of death was transplant related in 7 of 8 patients.
Conclusion: HSCT is an effective therapy to prevent ongoing disease progression and morbidity, with improving survival rates over time and in patients with lower pre-HSCT disease activity.
