Mesenchymal stromal cells plus basiliximab improve the response of steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease as a second-line therapy: a multicentre, randomized, controlled trial. (PubMed, BMC Med)
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.

Non-IL-2-blocking anti-CD25 antibody inhibits tumor growth by depleting Tregs and has synergistic effects with anti-CTLA-4 therapy. (PubMed, Int J Cancer)
However, marketed anti-CD25 antibodies (Basiliximab and Daclizumab) were originally developed as immunosuppressive drugs to prevent graft rejection, because these antibodies can block IL-2 binding to CD25 on Teffs, which in turn destroys the function of Teffs. Moreover, our findings reveal that the Fab form of h7B7-15S has the ability to deplete Tregs, independent of the Fc region. Taken together, our studies expand the application of anti-CD25 in tumor immunotherapy and provide insight into the underlying mechanism.

Targeting of CD25+ Activated T Cells in Gvhd-Associated Marrow Suppression and Cytopenias (ASH 2023)
We describe 3 cases of GVHD-associated cytopenias marked by HSPC depletion and presence of CD25 (IL-2R alpha subunit)-positive activated T cells in the marrow that responded to combinations of immunosuppression containing basiliximab (basil) anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody blockade...P1 received prednisone, CNI, and rituximab for a presumed anti-HSPC autoantibody...P3 has received prednisone, CNI, and sirolimus indefinitely for prevention of liver rejection and/or hepatocellular carcinoma relapse... We describe combined HSPC and T cell analyses in 3 patients (P) with severe GVHD-associated cytopenias. P1 was at 5 years post-HCT for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, P2 at 2 years post-HCT for severe aplastic anemia (SAA), and P3 at 1. 5 months post-liver transplant for alcohol use disorder-associated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma ( Table 1).

Chimeric Antigen-Receptor (CAR)-Engineered Natural Killer (NK) Cells Targeting Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Blast Crisis (ASH 2023)
Here we show the experimental development of a third-generation CAR-NK therapy strategy against the CD25 based on the scFV of the clinically approved monoclonal humanized antibody, Basiliximab... We show here for the first time the potential use of an NK cell-mediated CAR therapy strategy targeting CD25 which has been shown to be upregulated in CML blast crisis. The experimental data show a significantly increased and selective in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity of CD25 CAR-NK92 cells against CD25-expressing leukemia cells as compared to WT-NK92 cells. These results suggest that targeting CD25 by a CD25 CAR based on Basilixiamb's scFV might be an interesting tool in BC-CML and in all acute leukemias overexpressing CD25.

Long-Term Outcome of a Unique Haploidentical High-Dose Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation Protocol for Hematologic Malignancies: A Prospective Single-Center Study (ASH 2023)
Background Although many reports have established the efficacy of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) or ATG for GVHD prophylaxis to in vitro non-T cell-depleted (non-TCD) haplo-HSCT and achieved a good clinical effect, the overall results of NRM, RI, DFS, and OS still need to be improved, especially for patients with high-risk or R/R hematologic malignancies...Our haplo-HDPSCT protocol was designed adopting high-dose in vitro non-TCD PBSCs as graft, Ara-C+Bu/Cy+rATG as the conditioning regimen, and Basiliximab plus short-term low-dose GCs added to standard GVHD prophylaxis...Only two patients in the haplo-HDPSCT group developed PTLD. Conclusions This study demonstrates that aGVHD is not high in our haplo-HDPSCT protocol and the long-term follow-up shows that this protocol may bring benefits including high engraftment rate, less relapse and viral infection, which implies that higher doses of in vitro non-TCD PBSCs as a graft source for haplo-HSCT protocol is feasible if appropriate GVHD prophylaxis is adopted.

Early steroids after paediatric liver transplantation protect against T-cell mediated rejection -results from the ChilSFree study. (PubMed, Liver Transpl)
Adjunctive steroid therapy after pLT leads to earlier suppression of the post-pLT pro-inflammatory response and significantly reduced rejection rates during the first year after pLT (15.9%). 65% of patients initially treated without steroids remain steroid free over the first 12 months without rejection.

Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) in Adult Liver Transplant Recipients: A Single Center Experience [Board No. C208] (ATC 2023)
In addition to systemic steroids, basiliximab was the primary induction immunosuppression in 60% recipients with GVHD...Management strategies included combination of holding immunosuppression in 80% initially, use of systemic steroids in 50%, etanercept in 30%, ATG in 20%, and bone marrow transplant (BMT) in one... GVHD remains uncommon but fatal in LT recipients. In our experience, most cases present within the first 2-months after LT, and GVHD should be suspected when LT recipients develop skin rash, diarrhea, and/or pancytopenia. Skin only involvement portends a good prognosis, while multi-system involvement, and a wide Recipient-Donor age mismatch are poor prognosticators.

EBV-Negative Monomorphic Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder associated with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in an Adult Kidney Transplant Recipient (NKF-SCM 2023)
He received basiliximab for induction IS and prednisone/tacrolimus/mycophenolate mofetil for maintenance IS...His fever, cytopenias and inflammatory markers improved with dexamethasone with no evidence of relapse. One year after his HLH diagnosis, he was evaluated for PTH-independent hypercalcemia (1,25OH-VitD 147pg/ml[20-79]): a whole-body PET/CT now showed diffuse hypermetabolic activity and a retroperitoneal mass biopsy revealed monomorphic DLBCL-PTLD.Results There have been reported cases of adult kidney transplant recipients developing HLH either concurrently with PTLD[1] or a few weeks following the PTLD diagnosis[2]. However, the diagnosis of HLH in our case preceded the identification of PTLD.Conclusion Therefore, our case illustrates that active surveillance for an underlying PTLD should be considered in transplant recipients when there is no initial evidence of malignancy at the time of HLH diagnosis, especially since hematologic malignancies are the most common trigger for HLH in adults.

Successful Kidney and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Malignant Lymphoma from Different Donors: A Case Report and Literature Review. (PubMed, Transplant Proc)
Immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, methylprednisolone, and basiliximab was administered. The patient had urinary tract infections at 7 days, 9 weeks, and 4 months after kidney transplantation, and cytomegalovirus antigenemia at 9 weeks after kidney transplantation, which improved with antibiotic and valganciclovir, respectively...In this case, we believe that it was important to optimize the immunosuppressive therapy. In addition, from a review of previous cases, it seemed important that there was no GVHD requiring maintenance therapy in order to prevent excessive immunosuppression.

A RARE CASE OF ANTI-MDA5 ANTIBODY-ASSOCIATED RAPIDLY PROGRESSIVE INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE WITHOUT CUTANEOUS MANIFESTATIONS (CHEST 2022)
Two recent studies from Japan showed that patients initially treated with a combination of high-dose corticosteroids, tacrolimus, and cyclophosphamide had higher 6-month survival than patients treated with high-dose corticosteroids followed by the addition of immunosuppressant agents. Other treatment options for patients with refractory illness include mycophenolate mofetil, rituximab, basiliximab, or tofacitinib... Anti-MDA5 antibody screening should be considered in all patients with RP-ILD even in the absence of cutaneous manifestations associated with CADM. More research is needed to help guide management and discover effective treatments options.
