Background With >36 years of data collected, PIDTC prospective (6901) and retrospective (6902) natural history studies provide an unprecedented opportunity to study hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes for SCID over time. Methods Patients in this 6901/6902 analysis met PIDTC diagnostic criteria for SCID and underwent HCT. Categorial variables were analyzed between decades (a) 1982-89 (b) 1990-99 (c) 2000-09 (d) 2010-18 using the chi-square test. Continuous outcomes were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Kaplan-Meier method was used for estimates of overall survival (OS). Results 896 children with typical (n=742) and atypical (n=154) SCID requiring HCT between 1982-2018 were enrolled. Diagnosis of SCID for reasons other than family history or newborn screening was common (60%) in early cohorts (a-c) dropping to 30% in cohort (d). Distribution of SCID genotypes changed over time (Fig 1), and novel/unknown genotypes also decreased from (a) 53% to (d) 13%, p Conclusion This longitudinal data set, spanning the implementation of NBS and advancements in diagnostics and supportive care, highlights improved OS after HCT for SCID, including alternative donors. Exploration of decreased toxicity approaches that maintain high OS and engraftment are warranted.
