The PIDTC consists of 32 centers in North America that care for patients with PID. The 6901 study's hypothesis is that the analysis of uniform data on patients with SCID will identify those variables that contribute to the best outcomes following treatment. We report baseline clinical, immunologic & genetic features of the 1st 50 patients enrolled & the initial therapies that they received, to summarize for the first time the current practice in the diagnosis & treatment of SCID.
From 8/2010 - 5/2012 patients with suspected SCID underwent work-up and therapy per local center practices. After consent, diagnostic information was reviewed by the eligibility and stratification panel. Stratum A is classic SCID. Stratum B is leaky SCID, Omenn Syndrome or Reticular Dysgenesis. HCT details were obtained from the CIBMTR.
Presenting features of the 1st 50 patients are shown (Table). 92% had mutations in a known SCID gene. Those diagnosed by newborn screen (NBS) or family history (FH) were younger than those diagnosed by clinical signs (median 15 vs. 181 days; P = <0.0001) and went to HCT at a median of 67 days vs. 214 days (P = <0.0001), though there was no difference in time from diagnosis to HCT (median 56 vs. 43 days; P = 0.28). 92% were treated with HCT at a median of 25 days from diagnosis for matched related (n = 7) or 29 days mismatched related (n = 12) donors, vs. 61 days for unrelated adult (n = 13) or 60 days for cord blood (n = 14) donors (P = 0.02). Conditioning was none (n = 10), serotherapy alone (n = 4); reduced intensity (n = 9), or myeloablative (n = 23). 3 patients were treated with gene therapy & 1 with enzyme-replacement.
Future directions include continued
enrollment with a goal of >250 patients & analysis of short and
long-term outcomes of therapy to identify which factors are beneficial or
deleterious to survival, T- and B-cell reconstitution & clinical outcome
after treatment for SCID & what biomarkers are predictive of these
outcomes.
