Favorable outcome in children and adolescents with a high proportion of advanced phase disease using single/multiple autologous or matched/mismatched allogeneic stem cell transplantations: Favorable outcome in children and adolescents with a high proportion of advanced phase disease usingsingle/multiple autologous or matched/mismatchedallogeneic stem cell transplantations

Purpose: We determined the indication, outcome and risk factors of single and multiple hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(s) (HSCT) in children and adolescents mostly with advanced disease. Methods: Forty-one out of 483 patients (8.5%; median age 9 years) diagnosed at the University of Leipzig with haematological and oncological diseases required HSCT from 1999 to 2011. Results: Patients had overall survival (OS) of 63±10% and 63±16%, event-free survival (EFS) of 57±10% and 42±16%, relapse incidence (RI) of 39±10% and 44±18% and non-relapse mor-tality (NRM) of 4±4% and 13±9% at 10-years after one or more HSCT for allogeneic and autologous HSCT, respectively. One patient in complete remission (CR)1 and five with advanced disease received two HSCT. Four of the six patients maintained/achieved CR for a median of 13 months. Three died of progression and one of NRM. Two patients had a third HSCT and one survived in CR +231 days after HSCT. Risk factors for OS and EFS were disease stage at HSCT and EBMT risk-score. Center (paediatric or JACIE accredited paediatric/adult) was not a determinant for survival. Conclusion: Paediatric single and multiple HSCT are important curative approaches for high-risk malignant diseases with low NRM. Efforts to reduce high RI remain the major aim.:Bibliographic description 3 Introduction: 4 Infections 6 Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) 7 Graft rejection 7 Graft-versus Host Disease (GvHD) 8 Non-relapse mortality (NRM) 9 Relapse of the underling disease 9 Indications for HSCT 10 HSCT in Children. 10 Research questions: 12 Publication 13 Discussion 22 Future developments 25 References 26 Abbreviations 28 Summary 29 Zusammenfassung 33 Erklärung über die eigenständige Abfassung der Arbeit 38 Curriculum vitae 39 Acknowledgement 42
