Abstract
Pulmonary complications after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Limited evaluation of the true incidence of these complications in children and subsequent outcomes of these complications have not been evaluated recently. In April 2018, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development; and the National Cancer Institute cosponsored a meeting of experts to describe the status of pulmonary complications in children after HCT, identify critical gaps in knowledge, and explore avenues for research to advance care and optimize outcomes. The Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research was used to evaluate the cumulative incidence of pulmonary complications in children and their respective survival. Of the 5022 children included in this analysis who received allogeneic HCT from 2010 to 2016, 606 developed pulmonary complications within the first year after HCT. Pneumonitis occurred in 388 patients, 125 patients developed pulmonary hemorrhage, and 200 patients had lung graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). For those developing pulmonary complications within 1 year, overall survival 100 days after diagnosis of pulmonary complications was 49% (95% confidence interval [CI], 43% to 54%) for patients with pneumonitis, 23% (95% CI, 16% to 31%) in patients with pulmonary hemorrhage, and 87% (95% CI, 81% to 91%) in patients with pulmonary GVHD. This study demonstrates the approximate incidence of these complications, as well as their significant effects on survival, and can serve as a baseline for future research.

Joanne Kurtzberg
Dr. Kurtzberg is an internationally renowned expert in pediatric hematology/oncology, pediatric blood and marrow transplantation, umbilical cord blood banking and transplantation, and novel applications of cord blood and birthing tissues in the emerging fields of cellular therapies and regenerative medicine. Dr. Kurtzberg serves as the Director of the Marcus Center for Cellular Cures (MC3), Director of the Pediatric Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program, Director of the Carolinas Cord Blood Bank, and Co-Director of the Stem Cell Transplant Laboratory at Duke University. The Carolinas Cord Blood Bank is an FDA licensed public cord blood bank distributing unrelated cord blood units for donors for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) through the CW Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program. The Robertson GMP Cell Manufacturing Laboratory supports manufacturing of RETHYMIC (BLA, Enzyvant, 2021), allogeneic cord tissue derived and bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), and DUOC, a microglial/macrophage cell derived from cord blood.
Dr. Kurtzberg’s research in MC3 focuses on translational studies from bench to bedside, seeking to develop transformative clinical therapies using cells, tissues, molecules, genes, and biomaterials to treat diseases and injuries that currently lack effective treatments. Recent areas of investigation in MC3 include clinical trials investigating the safety and efficacy of autologous and allogeneic cord blood in children with neonatal brain injury – hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), cerebral palsy (CP), and autism. Clinical trials testing allogeneic cord blood are also being conducted in adults with acute ischemic stroke. Clinical trials optimizing manufacturing and testing the safety and efficacy of cord tissue MSCs in children with autism, CP and HIE and adults with COVID-lung disease are underway. DUOC, given intrathecally, is under study in children with leukodystrophies and adults with primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
In the past, Dr. Kurtzberg has developed novel chemotherapeutic drugs for acute leukemias, assays enumerating ALDH bright cells to predict cord blood unit potency, methods of cord blood expansion, potency assays for targeted cell and tissue based therapies. Dr. Kurtzberg currently holds several INDs for investigational clinical trials from the FDA. She has also trained numerous medical students, residents, clinical and post-doctoral fellows over the course of her career.
