  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from haploidentical donors is a viable option for patients lacking HLA-matched donors. Here we report the results of a prospective multicenter phase I/II trial of transplantation of TCRαβ and CD19-depleted peripheral blood stem cells from haploidentical family donors after a reduced-intensity conditioning with fludarabine, thiotepa, and melphalan. Thirty pediatric and 30 adult patients with acute leukemia (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 43), myelodysplastic or myeloproliferative syndrome (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 6), multiple myeloma (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 1), solid tumors (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 6), and non-malignant disorders (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 4) were enrolled. TCR αβ/CD19-depleted grafts prepared decentrally at six manufacturing sites contained a median of 12.1 × 10<jats:sup>6</jats:sup> CD34<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> cells/kg and 14.2 × 10<jats:sup>3</jats:sup> TCRαβ<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T-cells/kg. None of the patients developed grade lll/IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and only six patients (10%) had grade II acute GVHD. With a median follow-up of 733 days 36/60 patients are alive. The cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality at day 100, 1 and 2 years after HSCT was 5%, 15%, and 17% for all patients, respectively. Estimated probabilities of overall and disease-free survival at 2 years were 63% and 50%, respectively. Based on these promising results in a high-risk patient cohort, haploidentical HSCT using TCRαβ/CD19-depleted grafts represents a viable treatment option.</jats:p>
