Outcomes following haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for Wiskott Aldrich syndrome (WAS) have improved over time. Standard myeloablative regimens based on Busulphan (Bu) and Cyclophosphamide (Cyc) conditioning support high levels of donor engraftment, albeit with frequent complications (1-3). We report 100% overall survival in 34 consecutive WAS patients who underwent a variety of transplant procedures at a single centre, including alternative graft sources and reduced conditioning regimens, between 1996-2016. 34 boys received 36 transplants comprising 7 matched sibling donor (MSD) and 29 alternative donor sources. Twenty-one patients had a pre-existing WAS score≥ 3, and 16 had a score of 5, indicating autoimmunity or malignancy. Pathogenic WAS gene mutations were confirmed in 25/33 boys and deletions were detected in 8/33; WASp expression was absent in 28/32 patients. Pre-transplant severe infections including CMV pneumonitis (P13, P14), EBV-lymphoproliferative disease (P33), cryptosporidium cholangiopathy (P33), fungal pneumonia (P2, P7, P13) were recorded in 12/34 patients. Pre-transplant autoimmunity was present in 15 patients (44%) and included cytopenias (n= 9), vasculitis and/or arthritis (n= 2) and autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (n= 4). All these patients required systemic steroid therapy and 9/15 also received Rituximab; pre-transplant splenectomy was performed in 9 patients for control of autoimmune hemolytic anemia±autoimmune thrombocytopenia (P2, P4, P24) or for refractory thrombocytopenia with uncontrolled bleeding episodes (n= 6; P8, P19, P26, P29, P32, P33). One patient (P13) had precursor B-ALL and was treated under UKALL 2011 regimen B and C before proceeding to HSCT. Median time from diagnosis to transplant was 27.1 m (range: 4-162m)(table 1).Twenty-six (76%) patients underwent transplantation before 2 years of age. P33 underwent transplantation after pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and selection of a HLA-matched ‘savior’sibling. Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) incorporated Treosulphan (Treo) 42g/m2 (n= 17), Melphalan (Mel) 140mg/m2 (n= 7), reduced dose Bu (AUC= 55-65 mg/l/hr)(n= 2) or Cyc 120 mg/Kg with Methylprednisolone 12mg/kg (n= 1) in 27 transplants. The remaining transplants included both Bu 16mg/kg and Cyc 200mg/kg (n= 7) or Treo 42g/m2/Flu 150mg/m2/Thiotepa (TT) 10mg/kg (n= 2). Serotherapy was used in 80% of the procedures comprising either Alemtuzumab (0.3-1mg/kg (n= 25) or rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG)(n= 5; 7.5-25mg/kg). No serotherapy was used in 3 mismatched unrelated donor cord transplants (4). Patients received a median dose of 9.8 x106/kg CD34+ cells (0.86-62x106cells/kg). Posttransplant prophylaxis against GvHD in 34/36 transplants comprised Cyclosporine A alone or in combination with Methylprednisolone, Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or Methotrexate (MTX). Two recipients of haploidentical transplants received no prophylaxis (P14, P28). All patients received prophylaxis with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).
