Recurrence of hepatitis C virus [HCV] infection following orthotopic liver transplantation [OLT] is universal. There is paucity of data on the safety and efficacy of interleukin [IL]-2 receptor antagonist [IL-2RA] when added to the standard immunosuppression regimen in OLT recipients with recurrent HCV infection. To evaluate the efficacy of IL-2RA [Basiliximab] in preventing acute cellular rejection [ACR] in patients with recurrent HCV infection after OLT and to assess the impact of IL-2RA in promoting fibrosis progression in post-OLT recurrent HCV infection. Using an electronic pathology database, we identified all OLT/HCV patients with at least 2 post-OLT liver biopsies [1998-2006]. Standard immunosuppression consisted of steroids and calcineurin inhibitor with and without mycophenolate mofetil. All patients who were transplanted after May 2004 received IL- 2RA induction therapy. The Ludwig-Batts system was used to stage all biopsies [593 biopsies from 124 patients]. The first biopsy that showed post-OLT fibrosis or the last follow-up biopsy was used for time- to-progression analysis. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with the progression of fibrosis. ACR was significantly [p<0.001] lower in patients who received IL-2RA [20 of 70, 29%] compared to those who did not [33 of 54, 61%]. The median [25%ile, 75%ile] follow-up was 12.1 [6.1, 23.9] months during which 61% of patients had progression of fibrosis. Univariate analysis revealed that a higher HCV RNA load at 4 months post-OLT [p=0.002], cytomegalovirus [CMV] infection [p<0.001], use of steroid therapy for ACR [p=0.043], and use of IL-2RA [p<0.001] were associated with higher hazards for the pro- gression of fibrosis. Viral load at 4 months post-OLT was significantly [p=0.025] higher in patients who had IL-2RA therapy [median [25%ile, 75%ile]: 2.9 [1.0, 5.0] _10[6] vs. 1.4 [1.0, 2.3] _10[6]]. In multivariate analysis, patients who received IL-2RA therapy were 3.1 [95% CI.: 1.8-5.3] times more likely to develop fi- brosis than those who did not treated with IL-2RA. Steroid therapy for ACR remained significantly [Hazard Ratio=2.9, p=0.002] associated with the progression of fibrosis. IL-2RA [Basiliximab] decreases the rate of ACR. However, it may be associated with more rapid histological progression of the disease in post-OLT recurrent HCV

BACKGROUND:

Recurrence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is universal. There is paucity of data on the safety and efficacy of interleukin (IL)-2 receptor antagonist (IL-2RA) when added to the standard immunosuppression regimen in OLT recipients with recurrent HCV infection.

OBJECTIVES:

To evaluate the efficacy of IL-2RA (Basiliximab) in preventing acute cellular rejection (ACR) in patients with recurrent HCV infection after OLT and to assess the impact of IL-2RA in promoting fibrosis progression in post-OLT recurrent HCV infection.

METHODS:

Using an electronic pathology database, we identified all OLT/HCV patients with at least 2 post-OLT liver biopsies (1998-2006). Standard immunosuppression consisted of steroids and calcineurin inhibitor with and without mycophenolate mofetil. All patients who were transplanted after May 2004 received IL-2RA induction therapy. The Ludwig-Batts system was used to stage all biopsies (593 biopsies from 124 patients). The first biopsy that showed post-OLT fibrosis or the last follow-up biopsy was used for time-to-progression analysis. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with the progression of fibrosis.

RESULTS:

ACR was significantly (p<0.001) lower in patients who received IL-2RA (20 of 70, 29%) compared to those who did not (33 of 54, 61%). The median (25%ile, 75%ile) follow-up was 12.1 (6.1, 23.9) months during which 61% of patients had progression of fibrosis. Univariate analysis revealed that a higher HCV RNA load at 4 months post-OLT (p=0.002), cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection (p<0.001), use of steroid therapy for ACR (p=0.043), and use of IL-2RA (p<0.001) were associated with higher hazards for the progression of fibrosis. Viral load at 4 months post-OLT was significantly (p=0.025) higher in patients who had IL-2RA therapy (median [25%ile, 75%ile]: 2.9 [1.0, 5.0] ×10(6) vs. 1.4 [1.0, 2.3] ×10(6)). In multivariate analysis, patients who received IL-2RA therapy were 3.1 (95% CI.: 1.8-5.3) times more likely to develop fibrosis than those who did not treated with IL-2RA. Steroid therapy for ACR remained significantly (Hazard Ratio=2.9, p=0.002) associated with the progression of fibrosis.

CONCLUSION:

IL-2RA (Basiliximab) decreases the rate of ACR. However, it may be associated with more rapid histological progression of the disease in post-OLT recurrent HCV.

BACKGROUND:

For patients with steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD), effective second-line regimens are urgently needed. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been used as salvage regimens for SR-aGVHD in the past. However, clinical trials and an overall understanding of the molecular mechanisms of MSCs combined with basiliximab for SR-aGVHD are limited, especially in haploidentical haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID HSCT).

METHODS:

The primary endpoint of this multicentre, randomized, controlled trial was the 4-week complete response (CR) rate of SR-aGVHD. A total of 130 patients with SR-aGVHD were assigned in a 1:1 randomization schedule to the MSC group (receiving basiliximab plus MSCs) or control group (receiving basiliximab alone) (NCT04738981).

RESULTS:

Most enrolled patients (96.2%) received HID HSCT. The 4-week CR rate of SR-aGVHD in the MSC group was obviously better than that in the control group (83.1% vs. 55.4%, P = 0.001). However, for the overall response rates at week 4, the two groups were comparable. More patients in the control group used ≥ 6 doses of basiliximab (4.6% vs. 20%, P = 0.008). We collected blood samples from 19 consecutive patients and evaluated MSC-derived immunosuppressive cytokines, including HO1, GAL1, GAL9, TNFIA6, PGE2, PDL1, TGF-β and HGF. Compared to the levels before MSC infusion, the HO1 (P = 0.0072) and TGF-β (P = 0.0243) levels increased significantly 1 day after MSC infusion. At 7 days after MSC infusion, the levels of HO1, GAL1, TNFIA6 and TGF-β tended to increase; however, the differences were not statistically significant. Although the 52-week cumulative incidence of cGVHD in the MSC group was comparable to that in the control group, fewer patients in the MSC group developed cGVHD involving ≥3 organs (14.3% vs. 43.6%, P = 0.006). MSCs were well tolerated, no infusion-related adverse events (AEs) occurred and other AEs were also comparable between the two groups. However, patients with malignant haematological diseases in the MSC group had a higher 52-week disease-free survival rate than those in the control group (84.8% vs. 65.9%, P = 0.031).

CONCLUSIONS:

For SR-aGVHD after allo-HSCT, especially HID HSCT, the combination of MSCs and basiliximab as the second-line therapy led to significantly better 4-week CR rates than basiliximab alone. The addition of MSCs not only did not increase toxicity but also provided a survival benefit.

BACKGROUND:

The side effects associated with corticosteroids have led to efforts to minimize their use in renal transplant patients. In this study we compared two corticosteroid‐free tacrolimus‐based regimens with a standard triple therapy.

METHODS:

This was a 6‐month, phase III, open‐label, parallel‐group, multicenter study. The total analysis set comprised 451 patients, randomized (1:1:1) to receive tacrolimus (Tac) monotherapy following basiliximab (Bas) administration (n=153), Tac/mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (n=151), or, Tac/MMF/corticosteroids triple therapy as a control (n=147).

RESULTS:

The study was completed by 91.2% (triple therapy), 94.7% (Tac/MMF), and 82.4% (Bas/Tac) of patients. Patient baseline characteristics were similar in all groups. The incidences of biopsy‐proven acute rejection were 8.2% (triple therapy), 30.5% (Tac/MMF), and 26.1% (Bas/Tac), p<0.001 (multiple test for comparison with triple therapy); Bas/Tac vs. Tac/MMF, p=ns. The incidences of corticosteroid‐resistant acute rejection were 2.0%, 4.0%, and 5.2%, p=ns. Graft survival (95.9%, 96.7%, and 94.7%, p=ns) and patient survival (100%, 99.3%, and 99.3%, p=ns) were similar in all groups. Median serum creatinine at month 6 was 123.0 micromol/L (triple therapy), 134.7 micromol/L (Tac/MMF) and 135.8 micromol/L (Bas/Tac). The overall safety profiles were similar; differences (p<0.05) were reported for anaemia (24.5% vs. 12.6% vs. 14.5%), diarrhoea (12.9% vs. 17.9% vs. 5.9%), and leukopenia (7.5% vs. 18.5% vs. 5.9%) for the triple therapy, Tac/MMF, and Bas/Tac group, respectively. The incidences of new‐onset diabetes mellitus were 4.6%, 7.1%, and 1.4%, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

Corticosteroid‐free immunosuppression was feasible with the Bas/Tac and the Tac/MMF regimens. Both corticosteroid‐free regimens were equally effective in preventing acute rejection, with the Bas/Tac therapy offering some safety benefits.
