T-cell replete Haplo-identical HSCT with Post transplant Cyclophosphamide for Hemoglobinopathies: A retrospective analysis from a single center.

We report herein haplo-identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) by T-cell replete graft infusion, with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in patients with hemoglobinopathies. Patients received a conditioning regimen consisting of either busulfan, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, with antithymocyte globulin or Thiotepa, antithymocyte globulin, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and TBI. The median follow-up period was 14.3 months (range, 1-63 months). Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were 80% and 62.8%, respectively. Incidence of secondary graft failure was 14%. Incidences of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) were 22.5% and 20%, respectively. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation was observed in 42.5% of cases. The 100-day mortality rate was 20%, with sepsis and aGvHD being the predominant causes of death.
