ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) delta syndrome (APDS) is a combined immunodeficiency with a heterogeneous phenotype considered reversible by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).
OBJECTIVE: We sought to characterize HCT outcomes in APDS.
METHODS: Retrospective data was collected on 57 APDS1/2 patients (median age 13 years, range 2-66) who underwent HCT.
RESULTS: Pre-HCT comorbidities such as lung, gastrointestinal, and liver pathology were common, with hematologic malignancy in 26%. With 2.3 years median follow-up, 2-year overall and graft failure-free survival probabilities were 86% and 68%, respectively, and did not differ significantly by APDS1 vs 2, donor type, or conditioning intensity. The 2-year cumulative incidence of graft failure following first HCT was 17% overall but 42% if mTOR inhibitors (mTORi) were used in the first year post-HCT, compared to 9% without mTORi. Similarly, 2-year cumulative incidence of unplanned donor cell infusion was overall 28%, but 65% in the context of mTORi receipt and 23% without. Phenotype reversal occurred in 96% of evaluable patients, of whom 17% had mixed chimerism. Vulnerability to renal complications continued post-HCT, adding new insights into potential non-immunologic roles of PI3K not correctable through HCT.
CONCLUSIONS: Graft failure, graft instability and poor graft function requiring unplanned donor cell infusion were major barriers to successful HCT. Post-HCT mTORi use may confer an advantage to residual host cells, promoting graft instability. Longer term post-HCT follow-up of more patients is needed to elucidate the kinetics of immune reconstitution and donor chimerism, establish approaches that reduce graft instability, and assess the completeness of phenotype reversal over time.
