Article Abstract

Allogeneic transplantation of pancreatic islets for patients with difficult-to-control diabetes mellitus is severely hampered by the requirement for continuous immunosuppression and its associated morbidity. We report that allogeneic transplantation of genetically engineered (B2M, CIITA, CD47), primary, hypoimmune, pseudo-islets (p-islets) results in their engraftment into a fully immunocompetent, diabetic non-human primate wherein they provide stable endocrine function and enable insulin independence without inducing any detectable immune response in the absence of immunosuppression. Hypoimmune primary p-islets may provide a curative cell therapy for type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a bone marrow failure disorder treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Despite improvements in conditioning regimens and GVHD prophylaxis, graft failure and GVHD remain critical challenges. This study compared the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and umbilical cord blood cells (UCBs) as adjunctive therapies in 184 AA patients undergoing allo-HSCT.

[Acute graft-versus-host disease therapy: Which third line treatment after steroids and ruxolitinib? (SFGM-TC)].

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHDa) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients. While the first-line consensus treatment has been based on systemic corticosteroid therapy for many years, ruxolitinib has recently been approved and has become the standard second-line treatment. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of ruxolitinib remains limited to 40 % of cortico-resistant patients, raising the crucial question of selecting a third-line treatment.

Rare diseases in children have attracted widespread attention worldwide due to their rarity and difficulty in diagnosis and treatment. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is emerging as a promising and curable therapy for multiple rare diseases. However, rare disease research in China is relatively backward, prompting us to construct the first cohort of allo-HSCT for pediatric rare diseases (allo-HSCT-PRD) involving those who underwent allo-HSCT at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from 1 January 2014 to 31 October 2024.

The Clinical Utility of Real-Time Patient Reported Outcomes in Cell Therapy Recipients.

The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice; Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Level 5, Williamson Building, One Medical Center Drive, Lebanon, NH, 03756.

Background: The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) can improve a patient's clinical course by decreasing the incidence and severity of both physical and emotional treatment-related toxicities, uncover unmet patient needs and assist in patients' shared decision-making.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility and utility of using electronically captured "real time" agenda-setting questions and PROMs at the time of the patient's clinic visit.

Study Design: We designed a prospective observational study that employed a pre-visit questionnaire (PVQ) that included agenda-setting questions and the PROMIS-29 survey, with results incorporated into a clinical decision support dashboard embedded within the patients' electronic medical record (EMR).
