INTRODUCTION

Parainfluenza virus (PIV; types 1 to 4) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV; types A and B)are common causes of seasonal community-acquired respiratory viral infections (RVIs) in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipi-ents [1-3]. Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) with PIV or hMPV are associated with increased mortality rates, ranging from 10% to more than 30% [4,5]. The main risk factors for LRTIs and poor outcomes in HCT recipients include advanced age, lymphopenia, smoking his-tory, infection early after transplantation, low albumin level, human leukocyte antigen mis-matching of the donor and recipient, prolonged exposure to corticosteroids, and graft-versus-host disease [1,6,7]. Management of PIV and hMPV infections in immunocompromised patients is mainly supportive; although approved targeted antiviral therapies are lacking, novel treatment strategies are under clinical investigations.

In 2019, The Practice Guidelines Committee and the Transplant Infectious Diseases Special Interest Group of the American Society for Trans-plantation and Cellular Therapy assembled a panel of experts (the authors) on RVIs to identify key challenges in the management of PIV and hMPV infections in HCT recipients. We developed frequently asked questions (FAQs) about clinical practice regarding management of these infec-tions and provided answers to them based on a literature review and discussion among the panel to reach a consensus. We formulated 16 best prac-tices based on a subset of the FAQs and assigned each of them a strength of recommendation plus an evidence-based grading (Table 1) [8].

FAQ 1: What is the Incidence of PIV and hMPV Infection and Its Clinical Relevance in HCT Recipients?

Across age groups, the incidence of PIV infec-tion in HCT recipients is up to 10% versus 3% for hMPV infection [1,2,4,9,10]. In pediatric HCT recipients (2.0 to 9.5 years of age), PIV and hMPV infection rates have been about 3% and about 1%,respectively [2,11,12]. PIV and hMPV infections

are significant causes of morbidity and mortality in HCT recipients due to their predisposition to causing LRTIs [7,8]. The incidence rates for LRTI at diagnosis range from 7\% to 50\% for PIV and from 5\% to 41\% for hMPV [4,9]. A registry study identi-fied that receipt of posttransplant cyclophospha-mide was associated with increased incidence of RVIs regardless of donor type; however, the researchers did not specifically report the inci-dence or mortality rates of PIV and hMPV RVIs[13].

FAQ 2: What is the Seasonality of PIV and hMPV Infection?

Figure 1 depicts the typical seasonality patterns of PIV(by type) and hMPV infections. PIV epidem-ics occur mostly in the spring and early summer months in both the northern and southern hemi-spheres [14]. Different strains of all four PIV types may have some variability in circulation [15-17].PIV-3 is typically the most common type identi-fied with most cases reported in the spring in the northern hemisphere [18,19] and up to 86% of cases reported between May and July in Japan[16,17]. PIV-4 has been less common, with cases reported year-round [15]. In immunocompro-mised patients, including HCT recipients, PIV detection is quite variable throughout the year,but authors reported that PIV-3 detection rates were highest during the spring and summer months [20,21]. The global seasonality of hMPV epidemics is during the late winter and spring in most temperate areas, whereas it is more variable in tropical areas [4,14,18,19,22-24].

Significant changes in the incidence and sea-sonality patterns of RVIs following the social restriction and protective measures such as mask-wearing and increased practice of hand hygiene during the COVID-19 pandemic have been reported $[25-28]$ . These measures correlated with a significant decrease in the circulation of respiratory viruses other than SARS-CoV-2 during the pandemic[29,30]. However, in late 2022, fol-lowing relaxation of mandated protective meas-ures around the globe, both PIV and hMPV re-emerged, with unusual seasonal patterns and

higher detection rates than in historical data[25-28], with recent return to similar prepan-demic seasonality[31,32].

FAQ 3: What are the Main Clinical Characteristics and Radiological Patterns in HCT Recipients Infected with PIV or hMPV?

traditional diagnostic techniques such as direct immunofluorescence and viral cultures [39,40].Molecular assays have greater sensitivity and specificity and shorter turnaround times for results than the traditional methods, which may facilitate prompt initiation of targeted therapy(when available), reduction in unnecessary antibi-otic use if a specific viral infection is diagnosed[41], prompt implementation of isolation precau-tions, and faster identification of clusters or out-breaks [42,43]. Multiplex PCR assays can detect 20 or more respiratory pathogens in one assay sys-tem, including those not detected by other diag-nostic methods[44,45]. Accordingly, multiplex

PCR assays are recommended for use with immu-nocompromised patients, particularly HCT recipi-ents, with respiratory signs and symptoms(AIII).No Monoplex or dual-plex PCR assays are cur-rently available for detection of PIV and hMPV infections. Furthermore, patients with LRTIs in whom PIV or hMPV is detected in the upper respi-ratory tract should undergo bronchoalveolar lavage(BAL) testing(All). BAL testing is important for confirmation of the etiology of pneumonia and detection of possible co-pathogens as shown in a few studies of immunocompromised patients in which BAL results led to changes in management of LRTI[46].

FAQ 5: What are the Risk Factors for PIV and hMPV Acquisition, LRTIs, and Mortality?

RVI acquisition occurs via exposure to infected persons or formites. Overall, factors associated with the acquisition of RVIs include male sex, household contact with children younger than 12 years of age[35], allogeneic HCT, cytomegalovirus seropositiv-ity, T cell-depleted transplantation, and engraft-ment failure[36,47,48]. The main risk factors for progression to LRTI are similar to those for most RVIs and include advanced age, lymphopenia, early posttransplant infection, use of a myeloablative conditioning regimen, mismatched donor status,and graft-versus-host disease as summarized in Table 3[6,7,49]. Researchers have evaluated spe-cific risk factors related to RVIs using the immuno-deficiency scoring index(ISI) that was originally developed for respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) in 2014[6,50] to stratify allogeneic HCT recipients into 3 groups according to their risk for RSV LRTI and mortality. Investigators have assessed the ISI and additional novel risk factors[6,7,51] for their association with PIV infection outcomes after allo-geneic HCT[52,53]. In a recent study evaluating novel factors and the ISI in predicting progression RVI to LRTI, patients who had more than one HCT,were at least 40 years old, experienced infection early after HCT(≤30 days), received systemic ste-roids, had hypoalbuminemia, had hyperglycemia,had cytopenia, and had a high ISI score(range, 7 to 12) had increased risk of progression to LRTI in multivariable models[7]. RSV and hMPV consis-tently had greater risk of progression from upper respiratory tract infection(URTI) to LRTI than did

rhinoviruses in the early[6,7] and late[54] alloge-neic HCT periods. The ISI and the presence of at least three risk factors for LRTI, including newly identified risk factors as described above, appear to similarly predict disease progression for several viruses,including PIV and hMPV[7].

Risk factors associated with increased mortality in patients with PIV infections after allogeneic HCT are relapsed and/or refractory underlying malignancy, APACHE II score higher than 15, and receipt of high-dose steroids[55,56]. For hMPV infections, risk factors include use of steroids at the time of LRTI development, use of peripheral or cord blood stem cells as HCT cell sources, and an oxygen requirement greater than 2 L or need for mechanical ventilation at diagnosis[4,56,57].

FAQ 6: What are the Recommendations for Deferring HCT in a Patient Infected with PIV or hMPV?

Testing positive for respiratory viruses, includ-ing PIV and hMPV, prior to administration of a conditioning regimes in(particularly myeloablative conditioning) in symptomatic adult or pediatric HCT recipients is significantly associated with decreased overall survival rates and increased transplant-related mortality[58,59]. Delaying transplantation for 2 weeks with symptom resolu-tion is recommended for most RVIs, including PIV and hMPV infections(AII)[37,59-62], in both adults and children[63,64]. However, other fac-tors must be taken into consideration before rec-ommending this, including the probability of relapse of the underlying disease,the

conditioning regimen, and donor availability [59].If HCT cannot be deferred, nonmyeloablative or reduced-intensity conditioning and T cell-replete HCT should be considered (BII). Use of lymphode-pleting agents such as antithymocyte globulin should be avoided, if feasible (AIII) [59,65-67]. On the other hand, dose reduction for post-transplan-tation use of cyclophosphamide and antithymo-cyte globulin could be considered (CII) [68].

FAQ 7: What are the Recommendations for Reducing Intensity of Immunosuppressive Therapy for HCT Recipients with PIV or hMPV Infections?

Corticosteroid use is a risk factor for poor RVI outcomes [69]. In particular, high-dose corticoste-roids increase the risk of progression to LRTI by 3.5-fold [70] in HCT recipients with PIV infections and mortality by more than threefold for those receiving corticosteroids at more than $2 mg / kg /$ day[69]. However, prednisone-equivalent doses of lower than $1 mg / kg /$ day may not be associated with poorer outcomes [69]. We recommend reduc-tion of systemic immunosuppression when feasi-ble, especially when prednisone-equivalent doses exceed $2 mg / k /$ day(ideally, to $<1 mg / kg /$ day)(BII).

FAQ 8: What are the Prognosis for and Late Pulmonary Complications after PIV and hMPV Infections in HCT Recipients?

The overall mortality rates in HCT recipients with paramyxovirus LRTIs range from 10% to 43%[1-4,11-16,71-73]. Mortality rates specifically associated with PIV LRTIs also vary widely, rang-ing from 13% to 35% [5,73,74] and those for hMPV LRTIs have been as high as 27% [1,49,57,75,76].Increased mortality is likely a result of co-infec-tion with other pathogens at the time of diagnosis,including viruses, bacteria, or fungi, or late alloim-mune lung complications presumably triggered by PIV and hMPV[77].

Early or late pulmonary impairments owing to RVIs include idiopathic pneumonia syndrome,late airflow obstruction, bronchiolitis oblibrans syndrome, and cryptogenic organizing pneumo-nia [2]. In one study, about 50% of patients with prior diagnosis of idiopathic pneumonia syn-drome had detectable viral pathogens in BAL fluid that were identified in stored specimens using multiplex PCR-based assays, although PIV and hMPV were not specifically reported. These com-plications usually develop when RVIs occur just before or early after HCT [78-81]. In addition,LRTI with a respiratory virus detected in the early post-HCT period is associated with substantial

airflow decline in the first year after HCT and increased nonrelapse mortality [81]. On the other hand, PIV and hMPV viral loads in nasopharyngeal swabs have not been correlated with either the presence or severity of pulmonary complications[82,83]. Finally, pulmonary function tests are rec-ommended 1 to 2 months after recovery from PIV and hMPV infections to rule out bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome or airflow decline (BIII).

PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT FAQ 9: What are the Recommendations for Antiviral Treatment and Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy in the Management of PIV and hMPV Infections in HCT Recipients?

Licensed antiviral agents for treating PIV or hMPV infections are not currently available. Aerosolized or systemic(oral or intravenous) ribavirin is the only commercially available antiviral drug with in vitro activity against RSV, hMPV, and PIV [84-86].

Retrospective studies of PIV infections in HCT recipients have shown no outcome benefits in terms of mortality when aerosolized or systemic ribavirin with or without intravenous immuno-globulin therapy is given primarily at the LRTI stage and no reduction in PIV shedding [2,5,55,69,73]. In contrast, in a recent retrospective study in Spain that included 230 allogeneic HCT recipients with PIV infections, oral ribavirin given at the URTI stage was associated with less progression to LRTI but with no impact on all-cause or infectious-related mortality, when compared with untreated patients[70]. Clinical data regarding treatment of hMPV infections are confined to small retrospective stud-ies and case reports/series that all failed to show benefits of ribavirin and intravenous immunoglob-ulin for LRTI [1,4,83,87-90]. Currently, and based on scarce data, ribavirin is not recommended for PIV or hMPV infections in HCT recipients (DIII).Based on the expert opinion of our panel, intrave-nous immunoglobulin may be offered to HCT recip-ients with PIV or hMPV LRTIs (CIII) [90].

FAQ 10: Is There a Role for Antimicrobial Therapy in HCT Recipients with PIV or hMPV Infections?

In previous studies, up to 39% of patients with PIV infections had concurrent infections with pathogens detected in BAL, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, adenovirus or cytomegalovirus, and Aspergillus species [2,91]. The presence of bacterial,viral, or fungal co-infection was associated with a twofold increase in the risk of death [2]. However,the cumulative number of antibiotic days of ther-apy before acquisition of RVIs and the use of

630

M.V. Batista et al./ Transplantation and Cellular Therapy 31(2025) 624-638

quinolones(specifically, ciprofloxacin or levofloxca-cin) or antibiotics against anaerobes were indepen-dently associated with increased risk of progression to LRTI, possibly as a consequence of microbiome dysbiosis[41,92-94]. Infectious dis-eases consultation is generally recommended if antimicrobial use is considered for patients with co-pathogens detected during PIV or hMPV infec-tions (BIII).

PIV AND HMPV INFECTION PREVENTION

FAQ 11: What are the Definitions of Community and Nosocomially Acquired PIV and hMPV Infections and the Isolation Precautions for Them in Hospital Settings?

Community-acquired RVI is defined as the pres-ence of at least one of the following: coryza, dys-pnea, cough, sore throat, and/or wheezing before or fewer than 4 days after hospital admission. Nosoco-mial infection is indicated if symptoms begin at least 4 days after hospitalization[53,95]. Table 4

summarizes the current recommendations for infection control strategies for the major respiratory viruses in healthcare settings(AII)[5,96-101]. In contrast, the significance of prolonged viral shed-ding with regard to nosocomial transmission of respiratory viruses[98,99], particularly PIV[102],remains to be determined. Retesting for PIV or hMPV with nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs gener-ally is not recommended for most patients due to insufficient evidence of its effectiveness for infec-tion control purposes or as a test of cure(DII). For patients with RVIs who experience long hospital stays and who become asymptomatic, retesting to determine whether they can be removed from iso-lation could be contemplated(CIII).

FAQ 12: Should Asymptomatic Patients be Screened or Tested for PIV and hMPV Before HCT?

Asymptomatic PIV and hMPV infections may occur in HCT candidates[36,103]. However, no

studies have demonstrated the value of screening asymptomatic patients to predict disease severity or mortality or its potential impact on transmis-sion of the virus [36,59]. Screening asymptomatic HCT candidates for respiratory viruses is not rec-ommended for adults (DII) but may be warranted for children due to their higher rates of asymp-tomatic infection and mortality associated with pre-HCT RVIs (CIII) [63].

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

FAQ 13: Do PIV and hMPV Infections in Pediatric HCT Recipients Differ from Those in Adults?

The incidence of PIV and hMPV infection in pediatric HCT recipients is similar to that reported in adults(see FAQ 1). On the other hand, one recent study in children demonstrated PIV-1 to 4 in 13 of 134(10%) pre-HCT viral respiratory speci-mens [63]. Nonetheless, pediatric HCT data are limited when compared with adult data. Clinical presentation and risk factors for progression to LRTI appear to be similar in children and adults,including early post-HCT onset of infection; low neutrophil, monocyte, and lymphocyte counts;and corticosteroid therapy before URTI diagnosis[1,74,104].

FAQ 14: What are the Implications of

Respiratory PIV and hMPV Co-infections?

Pulmonary PIV and hMPV co-infections are common in HCT recipients of all ages[5,49,55,72,90], occurring in up to $47 \%$ of them[1,2,5,49,69,105]. These include bacterial (Pseudo-monas species being the most frequent), other viral (mostly human rhinovirus, RSV, and PIV),and fungal (Aspergillus spp. being the most com-mon) infections [105]. Respiratory co-infections were independent predictors of progression from PIV URTI to LRTI within 1 month of diagnosis after adjusting for neutropenia and an APACHE II score of at least 15 [55]. In HCT recipients with PIV-3 LRTIs, the presence of co-infection was associated with increased mortality at 30 and 180 days after HCT [5].

FAQ 15: Are There Any Special Considerations for Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Recipients with PIV or hMPV Infections?

Overall, RVIs are common after chimeric anti-gen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies, including CD19 CAR-T cell therapy, with reported incidence rates ranging from 23% to 44.7% [106,107]. In patients receiving B-cell maturation antigen-tar-geted CAR T-cell therapy, reported incidence rates are as high as 53% within the first 6 months of

follow-up [108]. The exact incidence rates for PIV and hMPV infection in CAR T-cell therapy recipi-ents are not reported. In general, risk factors for RVIs include grade 3 or higher cytokine release syndrome, use of a lymphodepleting regimen that includes cyclophosphamide or a regimen contain-ing drugs other than cyclophosphamide and flu-darabine, use of corticosteroids for the management of cytokine release syndrome or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, hypogammaglobulinemia, and prior HCT [106,107,109-112].

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

FAQ 16: What are the Unmet Needs for Therapy for or Prevention of PIV and hMPV Infections?

Currently, approved antiviral agents, monoclo-nal antibodies, and vaccines specific for PIV or hMPV are lacking. Table S1 summarizes com-pleted and ongoing clinical trials of investigational therapies for different RVis, including PIV, RSV,and hMPV infections.

DAS181, a sialidase fusion protein, was evalu-ated in a phase 2 trial comparing the dry powder inhalant form of DAS181 with its nebulized for-mulation or a matching placebo in immunocom-promised patients with PIV LRTI and hypoxia.Although the primary endpoint, the proportion of patients reaching clinical stability survival(defined as returning to room air and survival at day 45 from enrollment) was not met, a posthoc analysis demonstrated that DAS181 may have had a clinical impact and antiviral activity by improv-ing oxygenation and return to room air for highly immunocompromised patients who were not on mechanical ventilation when compared with patients in the placebo arm [93]. An ongoing phase 3 clinical trial is enrolling immunocompro-mised patients with PIV LRTI and hypoxia, with the primary outcome being the percentage of sub-jects who return to room air by day 28 while maintaining stable peripheral oxygen saturation levels (NCT03808922). Currently, no clinical trials of antiviral agents targeting hMPV are being con-ducted.

Although progress in the development of anti-RSV monoclonal antibodies and vaccines has resulted in licensure and use of these agents in healthy populations [113-118], the development of similar products against PIV and hMPV has been slower. Vaccine candidates using live geneti-cally modified viruses or chimeric viruses and mRNA constructs have undergone clinical testing[119-121], new monoclonal antibodies are being developed [70,122-128], and new approaches to

antiviral therapy using small molecules or antivi-ral agents are being considered [129-134].

Finally, virus-specific T cells from seropositive stem cell donors or banked "off-the-shelf" third-party human leukocyte antigen-matched donors have been used for the prevention and treatment of RVIs [135]. Polyclonal multi-respiratory virus--specific T cells directed against influenza, RSV,hMPV, and PIV-3 are also feasible [135-139], and studies of PIV- and hMPV-specific T cells in HCT recipients have been conducted [138,140]. Such studies support the pursuit of virus-specific T-cell transfer as a possibly effective RVI treatment strategy in HCT recipients [136-139,141].

DIRECTIONS FOR FUTURE CLINICAL TRIALS FOR RVIS

In the context of clinical trials evaluating new preventive or therapeutic measures for RVIs, such as antiviral agents and immunomodulators, sig-nificant challenges arise in selecting the study population, the optimal study design, and the most appropriate efficacy endpoints. A clinical trial framework for evaluating new therapies for RVIs was proposed [142] and includes identifica-tion of patients at the highest risk for complica-tions from RVIs, such as recipients of allogeneic HCI and novel cellular therapies; the optimal time for intervention (72 to 96 hours) after the onset of upper respiratory tract symptoms; and the incorporation of adaptive randomization with multiarm, multistage designs. Using clinical trial designs that compare different interventions with a common control could improve enrollment dur-ing a predetermined period within the same sea-son [143,144]. Additionally, the primary endpoint should focus on progression to LRTI, severe lower respiratory tract complications, return to room air, or changes in forced expiratory volume in 1 second, as these are more clinically relevant prog-nostic markers than viral clearance [142,145].

Risk Factors for infection acquisitionAll RVIs Exposure to infected persons or fomites, male sex, household contact with children <12 years of age, allo-geneic HCT,CMV seropositivity,T cell-depleted HCT, and engraftment failure [33,33,44,45]Same for all RVIsSame for all RVIs $$\begin{array}{l}\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \end{array}$$
Risk factors for progression to LRTI>1 transplant, age ≥40 years, recent HCT(≤30 days),systemic steroids, hypoalbuminemia,hyperglycemia, cytopenia, and high ISI score(range, 7-12)[1,2]Same for all RVIs plus monocytopenia, co-pathogen detection in blood, and PIV type[1]Same for all RVIs plus lymphopenia and early onset of hMPV infection after HCT[3]
Risk factors for mortalityATG used as part of conditioning regi- men, lower respiratory tract disease, RVI within the first 6 months of transplantation, lymphopenia, and high ISI score(range, 7-12)[6,57,75]Relapsed or refractory underlying malignancy, APACHE II score >15, and high-dose steroid use [98]Steroids at the time of LRTI, use of peripheral or cord blood stem cells as cell sources, and oxygen requirement>2 Lor mechanical ventilation at diagnosis [3,76]

Respiratory VirusType of PrecautionDuration^{*}Comments
PIVContact+ standardDuration of illness and as long as patients are hospitalizedViral shedding may be prolonged in immunosup- pressed patients[4,91]. The reliability of antigen or PCR testing in determin-ing whether to remove patients with prolonged hos- pitalization from contact precautions is uncertain.
hMPVContact+ standardDuration of illness and as long as patients are hospitalizedHAI is reported[92], but the route of transmission is not well established [93]. The route is assumed to be contact transmission with the patient or the patient's environment as for RSV because they are closely related and have similar clinical manifestations and epidemiology. Masks are to be worn by healthcare professionals during isolation according to standard precautions.
RSVContact+ standardDuration of illness and as long as patients are hospitalizedIn immunocompromised patients, extend the dura- tion of contact precautions due to prolonged shed- ding[97]. The reliability of antigen or PCR testing in determining whether to remove patients with pro- longed hospitalization from contact precautions is uncertain. Masks are to be worn by healthcare pro- fessionals during isolation according to standard pre-cautions[93-96].
InfluenzaContact+ standardDuration of illness and as long as patients are hospitalizedIn severely immunocompromised patients who may shed influenza virus for long periods of time, extend contact precautions due to prolonged shedding
