Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains a major immunological complication after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT), but also favors development of the beneficial graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. A patient with AML-M4 (inv (16)) is described, who was given non-myeloablative remission reinduction therapy for leukemic relapse (inv (16), trisomy 8) diagnosed on day 184 after HLA-compatible sibling BMT. On day 236, ie about 6 weeks after completion of this course, a clinical syndrome suggestive of acute GVHD grade 3 had developed. Skin biopsy confirmed the clinical diagnosis of GVHD, with a compatible liver biopsy. Transfusion-associated GVHD was ruled out by analysis of short tandem repeat (STR) alleles in the skin biopsy, revealing alleles from donor and recipient but not from third party origin. Cyclosporin A (CsA) therapy, which had been tapered between days 150 and 175, was resumed, resulting in a favorable response and gradual transition to limited chronic GVHD. The patient has since remained in complete remission with an excellent performance status for more than 40 months, without further chemotherapy. Thus this biopsy proven case of GVHD was induced by marrow donor lymphocytes more than 200 days after transplantation and apparently triggered by remission reinduction chemotherapy. The case indicates that intensive non-myeloablative chemotherapy can cure AML relapsing after allo-BMT. The therapeutic effect in this case probably involved a direct pharmacological suppression of the leukemic clone followed by a GVL effect initiated by donor-derived alloreactive T lymphocytes. 相似文献

We have performed a retrospective analysis of the development of T- and B-cell functions after HLA-nonidentical T-cell-depleted bone marrow transplantation (BMT) performed in 193 patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) at 18 European centers between December 1982 and December 31, 1993. One hundred sixteen of 193 patients were alive with evidence of engraftment 6 months after BMT. Development of T-cell function occurred earlier than B-cell function and was achieved more frequently up to the time of last follow-up. The median time to achieve normal T-cell function was 8.7 months, whereas the median time to achieve normal B-cell function was 14.9 months. Twenty-four patients died later than 6 months post-BMT, mainly due to chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and/or viral infection. Absence of T-cell reconstitution 6 months after BMT, unlike absence of B-cell reconstitution, was associated with a poor outcome. Two additional factors were associated with a poor outcome: presence of cGVHD 6 months after BMT and B- SCID versus B+ SCID. However, two of these three factors remained as significant prognostic factors in a multivariate analysis: the absence of T-cell function and the presence of cGVHD 6 months after BMT. Analysis of the factors influencing the development of immune reconstitution showed that T- and B-cell functions occurred earlier and more frequently in B+ SCID versus B- SCID patients. Acute GVHD was associated with a slower development of T-cell function at 6 months, and cGVHD had a negative influence on the development of T-cell function afterwards, but neither acute nor chronic GVHD was found to influence the development of B-cell function. Once engraftment occurred, whether patients had or had not received Busulfan in the conditioning regimen did not influence the kinetics and quality of T-cell function development. In a multivariate study, two factors were found to influence the T-cell function 6 months after BMT: type of SCID and acute GVHD. The results of this retrospective analysis should lead to new protocols adapted to SCID disease, considering that disease-related as well as BMT-related parameters influence the development of immune function and thereby long-term outcome after HLA-nonidentical T-cell-depleted BMT. 相似文献

We have analysed the behaviour of minimal residual disease (MRD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) in 71 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). The method relied on PCR of IgH, TCRdelta and/or TCRgamma gene rearrangements followed by electrophoretic size resolution and allele-specific oligoprobing. Patients were similarly conditioned; 55 received marrow from unrelated donors and 16 from related donors. MRD was assessed at various time-points up to 24 months after BMT. Three children were not evaluable due to transplant-related mortality. MRD was detected in 28/32 patients (88%) who relapsed post-BMT; 16 were positive at all times and 12 were initially negative but became positive at a median of 3 months (range 1.5-11) prior to relapse. In contrast, only eight of 36 (22%) patients who remained in continuing complete remission (CCR) (median follow-up 43 months, range 20-94) showed MRD at any time after BMT (P<0.0001). In these eight patients MRD was found up to 9 months after transplant and at low levels (0.01-0.001%). All eight (median follow-up 39 months, range 24-87) had at least two MRD-negative samples tested subsequently and five of the eight had evidence of grade I-II acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), raising the possibility of a graft-versus-leukaemia effect. In general, any evidence of MRD after allo-BMT is a poor prognostic sign. However, if immunotherapy were to be targeted towards patients with evidence of persisting MRD after BMT, the method described would expose only a small proportion of patients to unnecessary additional toxicity. 相似文献

Thirty-eight second allogeneic bone marrow transplants (BMT) for acute leukemia relapsed after first BMT were performed in 13 Italian centers between 1987 and 1994. Twenty-one patients had acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), 17 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); at second BMT 24 patients were in complete remission (CR) and 14 in relapse. The median time to relapse after first BMT was 10 months (range 1-70). Grade II or greater acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after second transplant occurred in 34.2% of patients and a chronic GVHD in 31.5% of patients. Twenty-four patients died: seven from early transplant-related mortality (TRM), 13 from relapse and four from late toxicity. As of 31 July 1996, at a median follow-up of 47 months (range 22-85), there are 14 survivors. The three-year probability of TRM, relapse and event-free survival (EFS) is 28%, 40% and 42% respectively. In 20 of 27 evaluable patients, remission duration after second BMT was longer than after the first BMT. A diagnosis of AML was correlated with a better outcome. These data support the usefulness of second allograft in selected patients with AML relapsing after a first BMT. 相似文献

Ex vivo T cell depletion of allogeneic grafts is associated with a high (up to 80%) rate of mixed chimerism (MC) posttransplantation. The number of transplanted progenitor cells is an important factor in achieving complete donor chimerism in the T cell depletion setting. Use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) peripheral blood allografts allows the administration of large numbers of CD34+ cells. We studied the chimeric status of 13 patients who received allogeneic CD34+-selected peripheral blood progenitor cell transplants (allo-PBPCTs/CD34+) from HLA-identical sibling donors. Patients were conditioned with cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) and total-body irradiation (13 Gy in four fractions). Apheresis products were T cell-depleted by the immunoadsorption avidin-biotin method. The median number of CD34+ and CD3+ cells infused was 2.8x10(6)/kg (range 1.9-8.6x10(6)/kg) and 0.4x10(6)/kg (range 0.3-1x10(6)/kg), respectively. Molecular analysis of the engraftment was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of highly polymorphic short tandem repeat (PCR-STR) sequences in peripheral blood samples. MC was detected in two (15%) of 13 patients. These two patients relapsed at 8 and 10 months after transplant, respectively. The remaining 11 patients showed complete donor chimerism and were in clinical remission after a maximum follow-up period of 24 months (range 6-24 months). These results were compared with those obtained in 10 patients who were treated with T cell-depleted bone marrow transplantation by means of elutriation and who received the same conditioning treatment and similar amounts of CD3+ cells (median 0.45x10(6)/kg; not significant) but a lower number of CD34+ cells (median 0.8x10(6)/kg; p = 0.001). MC was documented in six of 10 patients (60%), which was significantly higher than in the allo-PBPCT/CD34+ group (p = 0.04). We conclude that a high frequency of complete donor chimerism is achieved in patients receiving allo-PBPCT/CD34+ and that this is most likely due to the high number of progenitor cells administered. 相似文献

Transplantation of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) has largely replaced autologous bone marrow transplantation. The same might occur in the allogeneic setting if the favourable initial experience with allogeneic PBPCT is confirmed. We analysed all primary transplants utilizing unmodified PBPC from HLA-identical sibling donors reported to the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) for 1994. 59 patients with a median age of 39 years received myeloablative therapy for acute myelogenous leukaemia (23 patients, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (13), chronic myelogenous leukaemia (nine), lymphoma (seven), or other diagnoses (seven) mostly of advanced stages followed by transplantation of allogeneic PBPC. Three patients died soon after grafting, the others showed prompt haemopoietic recovery with median times to recover an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) above 0.5 and 1.0 x 10(9)/I of 15 (range 9-27) and 17d (range 10-28) respectively. Time to platelet recovery above 20 or 50 x 10(9)/I was 16 (range 9-76) and 18d (range 12-100) respectively. 27 patients (46%) developed no or mild acute graft-versus-host disease (GVIID). The incidence of moderate (grade II) disease was 27%; 24% of the patients developed severe acute GVHD (grades III or IV), 55% of patients who were alive 90d after transplantation developed chronic GVHD, the probability to develop extensive chronic GVHD was 32% (95% confidence interval 22-42) with a median follow-up of 14 months. Overall and event-free survival (EFS) at 1 year were 54% (CI 48-60) and 50% (CI 43-57), respectively, the relapse incidence was 23% (CI 17-29). EFS was 67% (CI 55-79) in patients transplanted for acute leukaemias in first complete remission, chronic myelogenous leukaemia in first chronic phase, or severe aplastic anaemia. Transplantation of allogeneic PBPC resulted in prompt and durable engraftment. The incidence and severity of acute and chronic GVHD seemed comparable to that observed after allogeneic BMT. Overall and event-free survival in this cohort of patients, most of whom suffered from advanced leukaemia or lymphoma, is encouraging, suggesting that the high numbers of T lymphocytes and/or natural killer cells contained in a typical PBPC collection product exert a vigorous graft-versus-leukaemia effect. Further evaluation of allogeneic PBPCT is highly desirable. 相似文献

Myeloablative conditioning associated with hazardous immediate and late complications is considered as a mandatory first step in preparation for allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (allogeneic BMT) for the treatment of malignant hematologic disorders and genetic diseases. Immune-mediated graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects constitute the major benefit of allogeneic BMT. Therefore, we have introduced the use of relatively nonmyeloablative conditioning before allogeneic BMT aiming for establishing host-versus-graft tolerance for engraftment of donor immunohematopoietic cells for induction of GVL effects to displace residual malignant or genetically abnormal host cells. Our preliminary data in 26 patients with standard indications for allogeneic BMT, including acute leukemia (n = 10); chronic leukemia (n = 8), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 2), myelodysplastic syndrome (n = 1), multiple myeloma (n = 1), and genetic diseases (n = 4) suggest that nonmyeloablative conditioning including fludarabine, anti-T-lymphocyte globulin, and low-dose busulfan (8 mg/kg) is extremely well tolerated, with no severe procedure-related toxicity. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor mobilized blood stem cell transplantation with standard dose of cyclosporin A as the sole anti-graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis resulted in stable partial (n = 9) or complete (n = 17) chimerism. In 9 patients absolute neutrophil count (ANC) did not decrease to below 0.1 x 10(9)/L whereas 2 patients never experienced ANC < 0.5 x 10(9)/L. ANC > or = 0.5 x 10(9)/L was accomplished within 10 to 32 (median, 15) days. Platelet counts did not decrease to below 20 x 10(9)/L in 4 patients requiring no platelet support at all; overall platelet counts > 20 x 10(9)/L were achieved within 0 to 35 (median 12) days. Fourteen patients experienced no GVHD at all; severe GVHD (grades 3 and 4) was the single major complication and the cause of death in 4 patients, occurring after early discontinuation of cyclosporine A. Relapse was reversed by allogeneic cell therapy in 2/3 cases, currently with no residual host DNA (male) by cytogenetic analysis and polymerase chain reaction. To date, with an observation period extending over 1 year (median 8 months), 22 of 26 patients (85%) treated by allogeneic nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation are alive, and 21 (81%) are disease-free. The actuarial probability of disease-free survival at 14 months is 77.5% (95% confidence interval, 53% to 90%). Successful eradication of malignant and genetically abnormal host hematopoietic cells by allogeneic nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation represents a potential new approach for safer treatment of a large variety of clinical syndromes with an indication for allogeneic BMT. Transient mixed chimerism which may protect the host from severe acute GVHD may be successfully reversed postallogeneic BMT with graded increments of donor lymphocyte infusions, thus resulting in eradication of malignant or genetically abnormal progenitor cells of host origin. 相似文献

In a double-blind, randomized study performed between 1988 and 1990, 40 patients undergoing allogeneic BMT from HLA-identical siblings for hematologic malignancies received 8 mg/kg/d rHuGM-CSF (molgramostim, n = 20) for 14 days. The median neutrophil count on day 14 was significantly higher in the GM-CSF group (1.90 vs 0.46 yen 10(9)/L, P < .0001). The incidence of acute GVHD and transplant-related mortality were comparable. Only two deaths occurred after 6 months; one due to pulmonary fibrosis in the GM-CSF group on day 1591, and one due to relapse on day 1590 in the placebo group. The Karnofsky score of the 10 survivors, 3 in the placebo group and 7 in the GM-CSF group, is 90-100% (median 100%), and none has chronic GVHD requiring therapy. There was no evidence of increased relapse in the GM-CSF group with only two relapses occurring; both in the placebo group. With a follow-up of 4.5-6.8 years (median 5.5 years), these patients are amongst the longest surviving patients to have received a recombinant growth factor post-allograft. We conclude that the administration of GM-CSF after allogeneic BMT does not appear to be associated with an increased incidence of chronic GVHD or relapse, or of other adverse effects such as the development of myelodysplasia. 相似文献

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a major complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Immunosuppressive treatment regimens carry the potential of causing severe morbidity and mortality, so that additional modes of therapy with fewer side-effects are clearly needed. Five cGVHD patients (sclerodermoid cGVHD in two patients, lichenoid cGVHD in one patient and intraoral cGVHD in two patients), who had not responded to standard immunosuppressive drugs, were treated with adjuvant UVB phototherapy. The patient with lichenoid cGVHD experienced complete clearing of cutaneous lesions, whereas both patients with sclerodermoid cGVHD experienced significant relief of pruritus, but showed no change of the sclerodermoid skin lesions. Intraoral lesions cleared in one patient. The effects of UVB phototherapy were furthermore documented by measurement of skin viscoelasticity and mouth opening. No side-effects were encountered. This preliminary study suggests that UVB phototherapy is useful as an adjuvant therapeutic modality in intraoral and cutaneous lichenoid cGVHD. 相似文献

Treatment options for acute leukemia relapsing after allogeneic BMT include conventional chemotherapy or a second transplant; however, results are rather discouraging, the first option being associated with poor survival and the second with a high mortality rate. More recently, donor leukocyte infusion (DLI) from the original donor has been used for relapsed patients in an attempt to induce a graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. This procedure is partially devoid of the toxicity inherent to a second BMT. At our Institution, a 36-year-old patient with biphenotypic AML in second complete remission after relapse following allogeneic BMT was treated with peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC)-enriched donor leukocytes, obtained after in vivo priming with rhG-CSF. The patient experienced extensive cGVHD but developed a testicular relapse while in full hematologic remission. After irradiation of the sanctuary site he remains free of disease, still with chronic GVHD, 21 months after bone marrow relapse. This case suggests that immunologically privileged sites are inaccessible to GVHD/GVL effect. This should be considered when planning salvage transplants procedures in patients at risk for extramedullary involvement. 相似文献

The use of allogeneic BMT in patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) offers the advantage of tumor-free bone marrow and possibly a 'graft-versus-lymphoma effect' which may decrease the risk of recurrence. However, allogeneic BMT also poses an increased risk of death due to graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) which can be ameliorated by T cell depletion. We performed a retrospective review of 37 patients who underwent T cell-depleted allogeneic BMT for aggressive and indolent NHL between 1988 and 1996. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify indolent NHL patients with the BCL2/IgH translocation which served as a marker of residual disease. Sixteen of 37 patients (44%) are alive and progression-free with a median follow-up of 4.4 years (range 1-10.3). The incidence of grade 2-4 acute GVHD was 36% and extensive chronic GVHD developed in 12%. Patients with aggressive NHL have an overall PFS of 33% (12-54%); those with chemotherapy-resistant and sensitive disease have PFS of 17% (0-47%), and 40% (15-65%) respectively at 5 years. Patients with indolent histologies have overall PFS of 62% (37-86%); those with chemotherapy-resistant and sensitive disease have PFS of 55% (25-85%) and 80% (45-100%) respectively at 5 years. Eight patients with indolent disease had a BCL2/IgH translocation detectable by PCR. Five of these eight patients remain alive and progression free at a median of 6.5 years after BMT (range 2.1-7.4 years), four of whom remain PCR positive from 1.7 to 2.9 years after transplantation. We conclude that T cell-depleted allogeneic BMT poses a low risk for death due to GVHD, and should be considered for patients with relapsed and refractory indolent NHL. 相似文献

We have prospectively evaluated the feasibility and results of the biotin-avidin immunoadsorption method (Ceprate SC system) for a phase I/II study of T-cell depletion of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilized peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) for allogeneic transplantation. Twenty consecutive patients, median age, 40 years (21 to 54) and diagnoses of chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (n = 5), acute myeloblastic leukemia (n = 7), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 2), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (n = 1), refractory anemia with excess of blasts in transformation (n = 3), histiocytosis X (n = 1), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (n = 1), were conditioned with cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) and total body irradiation (13 Gy; 4 fractions). HLA identical sibling donors received G-CSF at 10 microg/kg/d subcutaneously (SC); on days 5 and 6 (19 cases) and days 5 to 8 (1 case) donors underwent 10 L leukapheresis. PBPC were purified by positive selection of CD34+ cells using immunoadsorption biotin-avidin method (Ceprate SC) and were infused in the patients as the sole source of progenitor cells. No growth factors were administered posttransplant. The median recovery of CD34+ cells after the procedure was of 65%. The median number of CD34+ cells infused in the patients was 2.9 (range, 1.5 to 8.6) x 10(6)/kg. The median number of CD3+ cells administered was 0.42 x 10(6)/kg (range, 0.1 to 2). All patients engrafted. Neutrophil counts >500 and >1,000/microL were achieved at a median of 14 days (range, 10 to 18) and 15 days (range, 11 to 27), respectively. Likewise, platelet counts >20,000 and >50,000/microL were observed at a median of 10 days (range, 6 to 23) and 17 days (range, 12 to 130), respectively. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consisted of cyclosporine plus methylprednisolone. No patient developed either grade II to IV acute or extensive chronic GVHD. After a median follow-up of 7.5 months (range, 2 to 22) three patients have relapsed, and one of them is again in hematologic and cytogenetic remission after infusion of the donor lymphocytes. Two patients died in remission: one on day +109 of pulmonary aspergillosis and the other on day +251 of metastasic relapse of a previous breast cancer. Sixteen of the 20 patients are alive in remission after a median follow-up of 7.5 months (range, 2 to 22). In conclusion, despite the small number of patients and limited follow-up, it appears that this method allows a high CD34+ cell recovery from G-CSF mobilized PBPC and is associated with rapid engraftment without significant GVHD, and with low transplant related mortality. 相似文献

Blood cell transplantation (BCT) is now common practice in the autologous setting. We performed a pilot study of allogeneic BCT, collected after the priming of an HLA-identical sibling with a glycosylated rhu-G-CSF (lenograstim) (10 microg/kg). Fifty-four patients were included (38 +/- 11; M/F = 33/21; CML (n = 17), AML (n = 14), ALL (n = 15); MDS (n = 8)). Transplant procedures were standard (TBI regimen = 47 (87%); MTX-CsA: n = 37; CsA-PDN: n = 17). No serious adverse events were reported in donors. A median of 11 (3.5-29.1) x 10(6)/kg CD34+ cells, 332 (33-820) x 10(6)/kg CD3+ cells were collected. Four patients did not engraft (early death: n = 2; graft failure: n = 2). Fifty-one patients initially recovered 0.5 x 10(9)/l ANC and 25 x 10(9)/l platelets at 15 (10-30) and 13 (9-188) days. 29/51 and 29/38 experienced grade > or =2 acute and chronic GVHD. With a median follow-up of 25 months (18-36), relapse rate is 16% +/- 8, survival and DFS probabilities are similar (50% +/- 13). A better outcome is documented for patients under 45 years and in the early phase of the disease (n = 28), with an identical survival and DFS of 71% +/- 13. In conclusion, lenograstim is a potent rhu-G-CSF for mobilisation of allogeneic hematopoietic progenitors. Two-year follow-up indicates good haematological recovery but some concerns about graft failure and chronic GVHD have arisen deserving prospective evaluation. 相似文献

Twenty-six adult patients, median age 36 years (range 21-53) with chronic myeloid leukemia in first chronic phase were allotransplanted between October 1989 and May 1995. The preparative regimen consisted of busulphan 16 mg/kg and cyclophosphamide 200 mg/kg (big BU/CY). Cyclosporin A and methotrexate were used for GVHD prophylaxis. Twenty-two donors were HLA-identical siblings and four donors were mismatched for one antigen of class I. The global incidence of acute GVHD was 50%, that of severe aGVHD (grades 3-4) was 11%; the global incidence of chronic GVHD was 30%. No patients developed veno-occlusive disease of the liver or interstitial pneumonia. Five patients died, one of relapse, four of transplant-related causes, mostly related to aGVHD; thus, the transplant-related mortality was 16%. Twenty-one patients are alive, in remission, with a median follow-up of 55 months (range 24-90); actuarial probability of survival is 78% (CI 64-96). Our study shows that this conditioning regimen is relatively easy to administer and seems to be as effective as, if not superior to, regimens containing TBI, in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase and the transplant-related mortality is not excessive even in older patients. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and brachytherapy in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The patients had either progressive GBM or pathologically proven GBM at recurrence after previous treatment for a lower grade astrocytoma. Thirty-two patients were treated with interstitial brachytherapy, and 86 received treatment with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The patient characteristics were similar in the two groups. Those patients treated with SRS had a median tumor volume of 10.1 cm3 and received a median peripheral tumor dose of 13 Gy. Patients treated with brachytherapy had a median tumor volume of 29 cm3. Median dose to the periphery of the tumor volume was 50 Gy delivered at a median dose rate of 43 cGy/hour. Twenty-one patients (24%) treated with SRS were alive, with a median follow-up of 17.5 months. Median actuarial survival, measured from the time of treatment for recurrence, for all patients treated with SRS was 10.2 months, with survivals of 12 and 24 months being 45 and 19%, respectively. A younger age and a smaller tumor volume were predictive of better outcome. The tumor dose, the interval from initial diagnosis, and the need for reoperation were not predictive of outcome after SRS. Five patients (16%) treated with brachytherapy were alive, with a median follow-up of 43.3 months. The median actuarial survival for all patients treated with brachytherapy was 11.5 months. Survivals of 12 and 24 months were 44 and 17%, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We report a retrospective analysis of the experience of a single centre in treating severe aplastic anemia (SAA) with allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT). Between 1982 and 1992, we transplanted 21 patients with SAA (14 males, 7 females); median age at BMT was 15 y (range 2-40 y); median time from diagnosis of SAA to BMT was 29 d (range 6 d-5.5 y). Thirteen patients had received multiple transfusions before BMT. Patients were conditioned with cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg for 4 d, +/- total body irradiation 300-500 cGy as a single fraction; 1 patient received total nodal irradiation (750 cGy) plus antithymocyte globulin. Sixteen patients received bone marrow from human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-identical siblings, 3 from haplo-identical parents, and 2 from unrelated volunteer donors; graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was variable. Three patients failed to fully engraft following BMT; 2 achieved successful engraftment following a second BMT. Six of 20 evaluable patients (30%) developed grade II-IV acute GVHD, of whom 3 died; 3 patients developed limited and 5 patients (31%) developed extensive chronic GVHD, of whom 1 died. Fourteen patients (67%) are alive and well following BMT with a median follow-up of 6 y (range 2.1-11 y). Survival was superior in patients receiving sibling-donor BMT (75%) compared with those receiving parent- or unrelated-donor BMT (40%). We conclude that allogeneic BMT remains an important mode of treatment for SAA, but long-term survival remains limited by graft failure and GVHD. 相似文献

The value of routine chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) screening studies performed between 70 and 120 days after allogeneic marrow transplantation was retrospectively evaluated among 241 patients. All patients received methotrexate and cyclosporine for GVHD prophylaxis and survived without relapse more than 4 months after transplant. Ninety-one patients (38%) developed clinical extensive chronic GVHD requiring systemic therapy. Data on patients who developed clinical extensive chronic GVHD were compared with those on patients without chronic GVHD to determine which of the following screening tests predicted the subsequent development of clinical extensive chronic GVHD: skin biopsy, oral exam, lip biopsy, Schirmer's test, serum alkaline phosphatase, aspartate transaminase, immunoglobulin level and platelet count. In a univariable analysis, a positive oral examination and a low platelet count were predictive of chronic extensive GVHD development. In a multivariable analysis which adjusted for the contribution of other chronic GVHD risk factors, such as age and a history of acute GVHD none of the screening tests were predictive of chronic GVHD development. The risk factors in this multivariable analysis which had the strongest association with the development of chronic GVHD was a history of acute GVHD and use of corticosteroids at day 100 (RR = 3.9, P = 0.001). The use of corticosteroids for acute GVHD at day 100 had a predictive effect on chronic GVHD development independent of the grade of acute GVHD (RR = 2.1, P = 0.004). Based on these study results, the use of chronic GVHD screening tests may not be of value in predicting who will develop this complication. Patients on corticosteroids at day 100 should be considered for clinical trials to determine the efficacy of new immunosuppressive agents in preventing chronic GVHD. 相似文献

We examined the incidence and clinical outcome of late-onset noninfectious pulmonary complications (LONIPC) in a series of 234 patients who underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation at our institution between April 1982 and October 1996. The 179 patients who survived 3 months or more were evaluated. Clinical, radiologic, pulmonary function, and pathologic tests were reviewed to identify 18 patients (10%) who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of LONIPC. Accordingly, the pulmonary processes included bronchiolitis obliterans (BO, five patients), bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP, three patients), diffuse alveolar damage (DAD, one patient), lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP, one patient), and nonclassifiable interstitial pneumonia (NCIP, eight patients). Various methods of enhanced immunosuppressive therapy resulted in marked durable remission in nine patients (50%) (3/3 with BOOP, 3/8 with NCIP, 1/1 with DAD, 1/1 with LIP, 1/5 with BO). The presence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and prophylaxis for GVHD with cyclosporine and prednisone were the only variables significantly associated with the development of LONIPC (P = 0.0001 and 0.008, respectively). Regardless of histology, a reduction in the forced expiratory volume to < 45% of the predicted range was associated with poor response to treatment. These findings suggest a strong association between cGVHD and LONIPC and that the risk of LONIPC development may be influenced by the particular method of GVHD prophylaxis. Most patients with BOOP or mild airflow limitation at diagnosis achieved durable remissions. 相似文献

Patients with hematologic malignancy or severe aplastic anemia after myeloablative chemo- and radiotherapy were given granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized, cryopreserved allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) from 15 healthy donors who were either human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched siblings (n = 13) or haploidentical offspring (2). Polymerase chain reaction-amplified short tandem repeat genotyping was used for early confirmation of donor engraftment after PBSC transplantation (PBSCT). A standard cyclosporine A/methotrexate combination was used to prevent acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). All donors, including one in the third trimester of pregnancy, tolerated G-CSF administration and 3-day PBSC harvesting procedures well. Engraftment was prompt for all patients; it was verified using a panel of 12 human polymorphic short tandem repeat loci from bone marrow as early as 7 days posttransplantation. This status was maintained until relapse, when mixed chimerism was detected using the polymerase chain reaction. A minimum resurgence of recipient cells to 1% of the population was required to detect chimerism. The median times to recovery of the absolute neutrophil count to greater than 0.5 x 10(9)/L and the sustained platelet count to greater than 20 x 10(9)/L without transfusion were 10 and 12 days after PBSCT, respectively. Six patients experienced acute GVHD, Grade I in two patients and Grade II in four, including two HLA-haploidentical recipients. Chronic GVHD was noticed in three of the 11 patients who were followed for at least 100 days after PBSCT. Ten patients were still alive at the latest follow-up and have been disease free for a median of 278 days (range 60-671). Five patients died from causes other than graft failure: three from leukemia relapse and two from transplant-related complications. The results confirm that G-CSF can be safely administered to healthy donors and that engraftment after allogeneic PBSCT is fast and durable. Complete chimerism can be detected early by genomic analysis. PBSCT may offer an alternative to bone marrow transplantation. 相似文献
