In order to determine if peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) collected after priming with G-CSF in AML in first complete remission (CR) can be used for autologous transplantation and to evaluate the efficacy of early intensification therapy as in vivo purging, we studied 35 consecutive patients with AML in first CR. After standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy, 24 of them were treated with one (10 patients) or two (14 patients) cycles of high-dose cytarabine plus etoposide prior to PBSC collection. G-CSF was used as the priming agent. Of the 35 patients scheduled for peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), three relapsed before transplantation, and the 32 remaining underwent PBSCT. High-dose therapy consisted of either total body irradiation plus cyclophosphamide or busulphan plus cyclophosphamide. The median number of CD34+ cells infused was 3.24 x 10(6)/kg (range 0.15-14). The median times to reach a PMN count of 0.5 x 10(9)/l and a platelet count of 50 x 10(9)/l were 12 (8-28) and 30 (11-345) days, respectively. There was no transplant-related mortality. Twelve patients relapsed between 2 and 21 months post-PBSCT. With a median follow-up of 28 months, actuarial disease-free survival (DFS) is 52.41 +/- 9% in the intent-to-treat group and 57.4 +/- 9.8% in patients who underwent PBSCT. The probability of DFS is significantly higher for patients who receive early intensification therapy prior to both PBSC collection and PBSCT as compared with patients that do not: 68.8 +/- 10.27% vs 35.5 +/- 12.6%, P = 0.0418. These results indicate the feasibility of PBSCT in AML using G-CSF-mobilized PBSC. The use of intensification treatment as 'purging in vivo' prior both to collection of PBSC and PBSCT significantly reduces the risk of relapse in this group of patients. 相似文献

The CD34 antigen is expressed by human hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells. These cells are capable of reconstituting marrow function after marrow-ablative chemo-radiotherapy. Several different technologies have been developed for the separation of CD34+ cells from bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) components. We used an immunomagnetic separation technique to enrich CD34+ cells from PBSC components in anticipation of autologous transplantation for patients with B lymphoid malignancies. Twenty-nine patients enrolled on this study and received mobilization chemotherapy followed by G-CSF. Of these, 21 achieved a peripheral blood CD34+ cell level of at least 2.0 x 10(4)/l required by protocol for separation of the stem cell components. A median of three components per patient was collected for processing. The average CD34+ cell concentration in the components after apheresis was 1.0 +/- 1.2%. After the CD34+ cell selection, the enriched components contained 0.6 +/- 0.6% of the starting nucleated cells. The recovery of CD34+ cells, however, averaged 58.4 +/- 19.2% of the starting cell number, with a purity of 90.8 +/- 6.5%. Overall depletion of CD34- cells was 99.96 +/- 0.06%. Nineteen patients were treated with marrow-ablative conditioning regimens and received an average of 6.2 +/- 2.0 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg body weight. These patients recovered to an ANC >0.5 x 10(9)/l at a median of 11 days (range 8-14), and platelet transfusion independence at a median of 9 days (range 5-13). Four patients died of transplant-related complications or relapse before 100 days after transplantation. No patient required infusion of unseparated cells because of failure of sustained bone marrow function. These data demonstrate that peripheral blood-derived CD34+ cells enriched by use of an immunomagnetic separation technique are capable of rapid engraftment after autologous transplantation. 相似文献

It was the aim of our study to examine the clinical significance of t(14;18)-positive cells in samples from 47 patients with follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who underwent high-dose therapy with autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. At the time of PBSC mobilization, 25 patients were in first remission, while 22 patients had a history of previous treatment failure. At the same time, 43 patients had polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-positive cells in samples from bone marrow (BM) and/or peripheral blood (PB). Independent of the remission status, high-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) support were administered for PBSC mobilization. Following high-dose conditioning therapy which consisted of cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg) and hyperfractionated total body irradiation (TBI, 14.4 Gy) or BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan), 34 patients received PCR-positive and 13 patients received PCR-negative autografts. After a median follow-up time of 20 months (range, 6-50) post-transplantation, 33 patients were in remission, while 14 patients had relapsed after a median time of 14.5 months (range, 10-42). Using the Andersen-Gill proportional hazards regression model for the analysis of relapse-free survival, we found that PCR-positive findings in samples from BM and/or PB at any given time-point after transplantation were associated with an increased estimated hazard ratio of 4.5 in comparison with a PCR-negative finding (P=0.013). On the other hand, patients included while they were in first remission had a smaller estimated hazard ratio of 0.3 when compared with patients with a history of previous treatment failure (P=0.048). For the latter group of patients, this translates into a significantly smaller probability of relapse-free survival in comparison to patients who were in first remission at the time of PBSC-mobilization (P=0.012). In conclusion, the remission status of the patients before autografting and the PCR status as assessed on the occasion of follow-up examinations are significant prognostic parameters for relapse-free survival in patients with follicular lymphoma undergoing high-dose therapy with PBSC autografting. 相似文献

Twenty-four patients with multiple myeloma (MM), three (12.5%) in complete remission (CR) and 21 (87.5%) in partial remission (PR) were treated with high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) (busulfan 12 mg/kg+melphalan 140 mg/m2) as preparative regimen for autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. These cells were previously collected by leukapheresis after mobilization by high-dose cyclophosphamide (HD Cy)+rhGM-CSF (18 patients) or rhG-CSF alone (six patients). Considering 23 evaluable patients following HDCT, the CR rate was 58% (14 patients) and the PR rate was 38% (nine patients). One transplant-related death occurred following this regimen (4%). With a median follow-up of 20 months (range 4-34) after transplantation, 21 patients are alive (87%). Disease progression after transplantation was observed in four patients. Overall and relapse-free actuarial survival at 24 months was 91% and 74%, respectively. 12 patients (50%) remain in CR 15 months (4-34) post transplant. The major toxicity was mucositis. Busulfan+melphalan is a safe and feasible conditioning regimen for APBSCT in MM with acceptable toxicity and a high objective response rate, which may result in prolonged survival. 相似文献

Autologous transplantation for non-Hodgkins lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease is widely used as standard therapy for those with high-risk or relapsed tumor. Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collections have nearly completely replaced bone marrow stem cell (BMSC) harvests because of the perceived advantages of more rapid engraftment, less tumor contamination in the inoculum, and better survival after therapy. The advantage of PBSC, however, may derive from the hematopoietic stimulating cytokines used for PBSC mobilization. Therefore, we tested a randomized comparison of GM-CSF vs. G-CSF used to prime either BMSC or PBSC before collection for use in autologous transplantation. Sixty-two patients receiving transplants (31 PBSC; 31 BMSC) for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 51) or Hodgkin's disease (n = 11) were treated. All patients received 6 days of randomly assigned cytokine. Those with cellular marrow in morphologic remission underwent BMSC harvest, while those with hypocellular marrow or microscopic marrow tumor involvement had PBSC collected. Neutrophil recovery was similarly rapid in all groups (median 14 days; range 10-23 days), though two patients had delayed neutrophil recovery using GM-CSF primed PBSC (p = 0.01). Red cell and platelet recovery were significantly quicker after BMSC mobilized with GM-CSF or PBSC mobilized with G-CSF. This speedier hematologic recovery resulted in earlier hospital discharge as well. However, in multivariate analysis, neither the stem cell source nor randomly assigned G-CSF vs. GM-CSF was independently associated with earlier multilineage hematologic recovery or shorter hospital stay. Relapse-free survival was not independently affected by either the assigned stem cell source or the randomly assigned priming cytokine, though malignant relapse was more frequent in those assigned to PBSC (RR of relapse 3.15, p = 0.03). These data document that BMSC, when collected following cytokine priming, can yield a similarly rapid hematologic recovery and short hospital stay compared with cytokine-primed PBSC. Using primed BMSC, no difference in malignant relapse or relapse-free survival was observed. These findings suggest that despite widespread use of PBSC for transplantation, BMSC, when collected following hematopoietically stimulating cytokines, may remain a satisfactory source of stem cells for autologous transplantation. G-CSF and GM-CSF are both effective in priming autologous PBSC or BMSC for collection. 相似文献

This is the first report of the long-term therapeutic results in 22 children more than 1 year old with stage IV neuroblastoma who were treated with autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). The median age of the patients at PBSCT was 4 years (1 to 10 years) and seven of the 17 patients who were evaluated for N-myc amplification were positive. PBSC were collected by a median of four aphereses per patient. The patients underwent PBSCT from 6 to 21 months after the start of therapy (median 10.5 months) at which time 13 patients were in CR, seven were in PR, and two had refractory disease. Multi-drug therapy using the 'high-MEC' regimen consisting of carboplatinum (400 mg/m2) and VP-16 (200 mg/m2) on days -7 to -4, and melphalan (90 mg/m2) on days -3 and -2, was the primary cytoreductive regimen. The median number of infused MNC and CFU-GM was, respectively, 4.3 x 10(8)/kg and 2.4 x 10(5)/kg. After PBSCT, three patients died of regimen-related toxicities and one patient who was transplanted with refractory disease died of disease progression without any benefit from transplantation. Hematological recovery was evaluated in 21 patients, excluding one early death. The median number of days required to achieve an AGC of >0.5 x 10(9)/l and platelet count of >50 x 10(9)/l were, respectively, 11 and 46. Eleven patients relapsed 3 to 50 months after PBSCT, and currently seven patients (5/13 who were transplanted in CR and 2/7 in PR) are surviving disease-free at 52 to 84 months. Although the retrospective nature of this study and several variables prevent a meaningful analysis, the overall results still support the feasibility of developing a prospective study of PBSCT with a larger number of children with high-risk neuroblastoma. 相似文献

Unfractionated peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts contain measurable quantities of myeloma cells and are therefore a potential source of relapse posttransplantation. In contrast, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-sorted CD34+ Thy1+ Lin- peripheral blood cells are substantially enriched for stem cell activity, yet contain virtually no clonal myeloma cells. A study was performed in patients with symptomatic myeloma, who had received 12 months or less of preceding standard chemotherapy, to evaluate the feasibility of large scale purification of primitive hematopoietic stem cells in order to study engraftment kinetics posttransplantation and the degree of tumor cell contamination of this cell population, based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis for the patient-specific complementarity-determining region III (CDR III). PBSC were mobilized with high dose cyclophosphamide and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). A combination of elutriation and chemical lysis was used to deplete PBSC collections of monocytes, granulocytes, erythrocytes, and platelets. Subsequently, CD34+ Thy1+ Lin- progenitor cells were purified with high speed cell sorting. Of the 10 evaluable patients, nine met the required minimum criteria of >/=7.2 x 10(5) cells/kg to support tandem transplants. After high dose melphalan (200 mg/m2) eight engrafted successfully, although granulocyte (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] >0.5 x 10(9)/L, 16 days) and platelet recovery (platelets > 50 x 10(9)/L, 39 days) was substantially delayed when compared with unmanipulated PBSC grafts; one patient required infusion of a reserve graft because of lack of evidence of engraftment by day +28. Three patients proceeded to a second graft with high dose melphalan and total body irradiation; two required infusion of a reserve graft and both died of infectious complications; one showed delayed, but complete, engraftment after this myeloablative regimen. Two of the nine evaluable patients attained a clinical complete remission (CR). The grafts from three patients were tested for tumor contamination and contained no detectable clonal myeloma cells. Larger quantities of purified cells may be required to resolve the problem of delayed engraftment. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) apheresis provides an alternative to autologous marrow harvest as a source of hematologic stem cells for transplantation in children with solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eight children with metastatic or recurrent solid tumors underwent 27 apheresis procedures. Recovery from myelosuppressive chemotherapy occurred without continuous daily growth factor support prior to mobilization. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) at 16 microgs/kg/day was used to increase stem cells in the peripheral circulation. CD 34 positive cells, mononuclear cells (MNC), and CFU-GM were measured in the apheresis products. Prior chemotherapy was examined as a clinical factor that affected PBSC yield. RESULTS: A significant correlation was found between CD 34+/kg and CFU-GM/kg of the products (r = 0.758, P < 0.001). Patients receiving cumulative doses of carboplatin over 1,600 mg/m2 produced adequate MNC (1 x 10(8)/kg) but yielded significantly less CD 34+ cells or CFU-GM than those patients receiving less carboplatin. Prior doses of etoposide and ifosfamide did not effect PBSC yield. CONCLUSIONS: The mobilization technique was well tolerated, and the products obtained produced trilineage engraftment in the patients that underwent peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Peripheral blood stem cell apheresis in children can be optimized by selection of appropriate candidates and mobilization with G-CSF after an absence of hematopoietic growth factor support. 相似文献

Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by a malignant proliferation of plasma cells in blood and bone marrow. Treatment of primary PCL has been mostly disappointing. Three patients with primary PCL are described who received high-dose melphalan with autologous PBSC support after vincristine, doxorubicine and dexamethasone (VAD), high-dose cyclophosphamide, and etoposide, cisplatinum, dexamethasone and cytosine arabinoside (EDAP) courses. All patients were in CR post-transplantation. One patient relapsed after 3 months; the other patients are still in CR, after 14 and 26 months, respectively. These results in conjunction with data from the literature suggest that intensive chemotherapy for PCL is promising. 相似文献

In order to potentially mobilize and harvest the Ph cells observed in most patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) during interferon-alpha (IF-alpha) therapy, G-CSF (filgrastim), 5 microg/kg/d, was administered subcutaneously together with IF-alpha to 30 CML patients in haematological remission but with various degrees of cytogenetic remission, after IF-alpha therapy. Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) were harvested using standard aphereses from day 5 of G-CSF Patients underwent one to four (median three) aphereses. Median total yields/kg were 7.6 (range 3.8-25) x 10(8) MNC, 3.4 (0-140) x 10(6) CD34+ cells, and 17 (1.1-107) x 10(4) CFU-GM. No patient had a significant increase in the percentage of Ph+ cells in the bone marrow under G-CSF therapy. The percentage of Ph+ cells in apheresis products tended to decrease between the first and the last apheresis (P = 0.05). 14 patients who were not responsive to IF-alpha were transplanted after conditioning with busulphan 16 mg/kg and melphalan 140 mg/m2. Median time to neutrophils > 0.5 x 10(9)/l was 20 d (16-114 d) and to platelets > 50 x 10(9)/l 18 d (12-149 d). Nine patients had a major cytogenetic response post graft, which correlated with the amount of Ph+ cells reinfused with the graft (P = 0.02). We conclude that this procedure is feasible, allowing the harvest of enough PBSC, some of them Ph- in patients who responded to IF-alpha, to allow autologous transplantation. 相似文献

Many studies have documented faster engraftment after transplantation with peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) compared to bone marrow (BM) stem cells. Most comparisons, however, have been between unprimed BM and primed PBSC. We have collected engraftment data on 39 patients from 4 Danish centres and compared G-CSF primed BM with G-CSF primed PBSC in malignant lymphoma and solid tumours. In the lymphoma group 6 BM transplants were compared with 8 PBSC transplants, whereas in the testicular cancer group 16 BM transplants were compared with 9 PBSC transplants. In the lymphoma group, the time to platelet engraftment (platelets >20x10(9)/l unsupported) was median 15 d in PBSC transplants and median 34 d in BM transplants (p=0.003). In the solid tumour patients the difference in time to platelet engraftment was 11 and 18 d in PBSC and BM transplants, respectively (p<0.0001). In an attempt to explain this difference we performed CD34+ subset analysis of BM and PBSC. This analysis revealed a higher content of lineage restricted cells (CD34+CD61+ and CD34+GlyA+) in PBSC compared to BM. In conclusion, G-CSF mobilized PBSC seems to result in faster engraftment than G-CSF primed BM, which could be explained by an increased number of lineage specific progenitors in PBSC compared to BM. 相似文献

The availability of hematopoietic growth factors has greatly facilitated the mobilization and collection of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). It was the aim of this double-blind study to compare the PBSC-mobilizing efficacy of recombinant human G-CSF and GM-CSF when administered post-chemotherapy. Twenty-six patients with relapsed Hodgkin's disease were included in the study. Their median age was 31 years (range, 22-59) and 14 patients were males and 12 were females. Patients were pretreated with a median of eight cycles of cytotoxic chemotherapy, while 18 patients had undergone extended field irradiation. The patients received dexamethasone 24 mg days 1-7, melphalan 30 mg/m2 day 3, BCNU 60 mg/m2 day 3, etoposide 75 mg/m2 days 4-7, Ara-C 100 mg/m2 twice daily days 4-7 (Dexa-BEAM). Twelve patients were randomized to receive 5/microg/kg/day G-CSF and 14 patients to receive 5 microg/kg/day GM-CSF, both administered subcutaneously starting on day 1 after the end of Dexa-BEAM. Primary endpoints of the study were the number of CD34+ cells harvested per kg body weight on the occasion of six consecutive leukaphereses and the time needed for hematological reconstitution following autografting. Twenty-one patients completed PBSC collection, and six patients of the G-CSF group and nine of the GM-CSF group were autografted. No difference was observed with respect to the median yield of CFU-GM and CD34+ cells: 32.5 x 10(4)/kg vs 31.3 x 10(4)/kg CFU-GM, and 7.6 x 10(6)/kg vs 5.6 x 10(6)/kg CD34+ cells, for G-CSF and GM-CSF, respectively (U test, P= 0.837 and 0.696). High-dose chemotherapy consisted of cyclophosphamide 1.7 g/m2 days 1-4, BCNU 150 mg/m2 days 1-4, etoposide 400 mg/m2 days 1-4. All patients transplanted with more than 5 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg had a rapid platelet recovery (20 x 10(9)/l) between 6 and 11 days and neutrophil recovery (0.5 x 10(9)/1) between 9 and 16 days, while patients transplanted with less than 5 x 10(6)/kg had a delayed reconstitution, regardless of the kind of growth factor used for PBSC mobilization. In conclusion, our data indicate that in patients with Hodgkin's disease G-CSF and GM-CSF given after salvage chemotherapy appear to be not different in their ability to mobilize PBSC resulting in a similar time needed for hematological reconstitution when autografted following high-dose therapy. 相似文献

We report our results with high-dose chemotherapy in previously untreated multiple myeloma patients (4 courses of VAD chemotherapy, collection of PBSC after priming with cyclophosphamide, 5 g/m2, high-dose chemotherapy with melphalan, 200 mg/m2). Second transplantation was indicated only for patients who did not achieve remission after the first high-dose therapy (paraprotein lower than 25% of the pretreatment value). For the second transplantation melphalan (200 mg/m2) with methylprednisolone (1.5 g for 5 days) were used as conditioning regimen. After high-dose therapy all patients were randomized into two arms of maintenance therapy: interferon alpha-2b or sequential maintenance therapy (interferon alpha-2b for 3 months followed after 4 week pause by 40 mg of dexamethasone days 1-4, 10-13 and 20-23. The administration of interferon alpha was resumed four weeks after the last dexamethasone for next three months. The maintenance therapy continued for 48 months or until the progression. Fifty-five patients were enrolled in the study from January 1996 to August 1997. Thirty-five patients have undergone the first transplantation and 57% of them reached complete remission. There were 10% of non-responders after the first high-dose regimen. The mean time to reach white blood cell count above 1 x 10(9)/L after the application of high dose melphalan and platelets more than 50 x 10(9)/L were 12.2 (range 6-16 days) and 12.4 (range 0-25 days), respectively. Grade 4 mucositis according to SWOG classification requiring total parenteral nutrition was presented in 40% of the patients. The mean number of 1 unit of platelets and 2 units of packed red blood cells transfusions were given within the posttransplant period. Early transplant related mortality was 3%. This paper describes the response and tolerance of each particular step of therapy. The follow-up has been too short to evaluate event-free and overall survivals. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with high-dose busulfan (Bu), melphalan (Mel) and thiotepa (TT) followed by peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) infusion. Fifty-one patients with chemotherapy refractory (n = 32) or responsive (n = 19) metastatic breast cancer received Bu (12 mg/kg), Mel (100 mg/m2) and TT (500 mg/m2) followed by PBSC collected after chemotherapy and growth factor (n = 43) or growth factor alone (n = 8). The 100 day treatment-related mortality was 8% including one death from cytomegalovirus pneumonia, one from aspiration pneumonia and two from regimen-related toxicity (RRT). Seven of 28 refractory (25%) and 5/7 (71%) responsive patients with evaluable disease achieved a complete response of all measurable disease or all soft tissue disease with at least improvement in bone lesions (PR*). Fifteen of 51 patients (29%) are alive and progression-free a median of 423 days (range 353-934) after treatment, 5/32 (16%) with refractory disease and 10/19 (53%) with responsive disease. The probabilities of progression-free survival (PFS) at 1.5 years for the patients with refractory (n = 32) and responsive (n = 19) disease were 0.24 and 0.53, respectively. These preliminary data suggest that high-dose Bu/Mel/TT has significant activity in patients with advanced breast cancer and may be superior to some previously published regimens. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: This study was carried out to investigate the efficacy and safety of high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) for the treatment of patients with advanced testicular cancer. METHODS: Seven patients were treated with high-dose carboplatin, etoposide, and ifosfamide followed by autologous blood stem cell transplantation. One patient received 1 cycle, 4 patients received 2 cycles, and 2 patients received 3 cycles of HDC. We performed a total of 15 autologous blood stem cell transplantations: 8 with autologous bone marrow; 6 with peripheral blood stem cells; and 1 with peripheral blood stem cells in addition to autologous bone marrow. RESULTS: Four of the 7 patients achieved a pathologic complete response via early use of HDC and additional salvage surgery. All 4 patients are still alive without evidence of disease at 12, 30, 33, and 54 months, respectively. One patient is alive with active disease at 35 months. Two patients refractory to conventional chemotherapy died of progressive disease at 5 and 27 months, respectively. The hematologic recovery after HDC was rapid, and peripheral blood stem cells tended to have shorter hematologic recovery compared with those from autologous bone marrow, although the difference was not significant. Nonhematologic toxicity was usually mild and manageable. CONCLUSION: High-dose chemotherapy, followed by autologous blood stem cell transplantation, may be safe and effective for patients with advanced testicular cancer, particularly when early use of HDC is conducted for chemotherapy-sensitive patients. A further large, long-term, follow-up study will be needed to define the role of HDC. 相似文献

Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplants from HLA-identical siblings were performed in 37 patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. Outcomes were compared to a historical group of 37 similar patients with advanced hematologic malignancies receiving bone marrow (BM) transplants from HLA-identical donors. The PBSC group and historical BM group were well matched for diagnosis, disease stage, age, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Patients received PBSC transplants between 1993 to 1995 while BM patients were treated between 1989 to 1994. Engraftment, measured by the time to reach a peripheral neutrophil count > 500/L and platelet count > 20,000/microL without transfusions, occurred on days 14 and 11 in the patients transplanted with PBSC compared to days 16 and 15 in the patients receiving BM (P = .00063, .00014). The PBSC group required a median of 8 U of red blood cells and 24 U of platelets compared to 17 U of red blood cells and 118 U of platelets for BM transplant recipients (P = .0005, .0001). The estimated risks of developing grades 2 to 4 acute GVHD were 37% for the PBSC group and 56% for the BM group (P = .18), while the estimated risks of grades 3 to 4 acute GVHD were 14% for the PBSC group and 33% for the BM group, P = .05). Chronic GVHD occurred in 7 of 18 evaluable patients receiving PBSC and 6 of 23 evaluable patients receiving BM, P = .5. The estimated risks of transplant-related mortality at 200 days were 27% versus 45% (P = .33) relapse were 70% versus 53% (P = .27) and of overall survival were 50% and 41% (P = .39) for patients transplanted with PBSC or BM, respectively. This retrospective comparison suggests that compared to marrow transplantation from HLA-identical donors, allogeneic PBSC transplantation from HLA-identical donors is associated with faster engraftment, fewer transfusions, and no greater incidence of acute or chronic GVHD. 相似文献

We performed a prospective study in 17 consecutive patients following Autologous bone marrow (BM) or rhG-CSF primed peripheral blood item cell (PBSC) transplantation, with the objective of comparing immune recovery between both procedures and to evaluate results in rhG-CSF mobilized peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Kinetics of immune reconstitution showed differences, with a faster recovery of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells, and a more rapid and sustained recovery of CD8+/-/CD56+ natural killer (NK) cells in the PBCSCT group. Autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) was associated with a improved reconstitution of the CD19+/CD5+/-subpopulation. Moreover, rhG-CSF mobilized PBSCT generated a greater recovery of CD8+/-/CD56+ cells than previous data concerning transplantation with peripheral blood (PB) progenitors collected after myelosuppressive chemotherapy or myelosuppressive therapy plus rhG-CSF. Our results show differences in the rate and pattern of B and T lymphocytes reconstitution after ABMT and PBSCT. Additionally, we state an enhancement of CD56+ cells in patients undergoing PBSCT mobilized solely using rhG-CSF. 相似文献

In this article, we review neoplastic contamination in the peripheral blood (PB) of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) upon stem cell mobilization. We first evaluated PB samples from pretreated MM patients following administration of high-dose cyclophosphamide (Cy, 7 g/m2 or 4 g/m2) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for the presence of myeloma cells as well as hematopoietic progenitors. Plasma cells containing intracytoplasmic immunoglobulin (cIg) were counted by immunofluorescence microscopy after incubation with appropriate antisera against light and heavy chain Ig. Flow cytometry studies were performed to determine the presence of malignant B lineage elements, using monoclonal antibodies against the CD19 antigen and the monotypic light chain. Prior to PBSC mobilization, circulating plasma cells were detected in all MM patients at 0.1%-1.8% of the mononuclear cell (MNC) fraction (mean value 0.7 +/- 0.4% SD). In these patients, a higher absolute number of PB neoplastic cells was detected after administration of chemotherapy and G-CSF. Kinetic analysis showed a pattern of tumor cell mobilization similar to that of normal hematopoietic progenitors, with the peak coinciding with the optimal period for the collection of PBSC. The absolute number of plasma cells showed a 10-50-fold increase over the baseline value. Apheresis products contained 0.7 +/- 0.2% SD myeloma cells (range 0.2%-2.7%), which demonstrated the capacity of plasma cells to proliferate, differentiate, and mature in response to c-kit ligand (SCF), IL-3, IL-6, and a combination of IL-3 and IL-6. Subsequently, in an attempt to reduce tumor cell contamination prior to autologous transplantation, circulating hematopoietic CD34+ cells were highly enriched by avidin-biotin immunoabsorption, cryopreserved, and used to reconstitute bone marrow (BM) function after myeloablative therapy in 13 patients. The median purity of the enriched CD34+ cell population was 89.5% (range 51%-94%), with a 75-fold enrichment compared with the pretreatment samples. The median overall recovery of CD34+ cells and CFU-GM was 58% (range 33%-95%) and 45% (range 7%-100%), respectively. Positive selection of CD34+ cells resulted in 2.5-3 log depletion of plasma cells and CD 19+ B lineage cells as determined by immunofluorescence studies, although DNA analysis of the CDR III region of the IgH gene demonstrated the persistence of minimal residual disease (MRD) in 5 of 6 patient samples studied. Myeloma patients were reinfused with enriched CD34+ cells after myeloablative therapy consisting of total body irradiation (TBI, 1000 cGy) and high-dose melphalan (140 mg/m2) or melphalan (200 mg/m2) alone. They received a median of 5 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg and showed a rapid reconstitution of hematopoiesis. The median time to 0.5 x 10(9) neutrophils, 20 x 10(9) and 50 x 10(9) platelets/L of PB was 10, 11, and 12 days, respectively. These results, as well as other clinically significant parameters, did not significantly differ from those of patients (n = 13) receiving unmanipulated PBSC following the same pretransplant conditioning regimen. Our data demonstrate the concomitant mobilization of tumor cells and hematopoietic progenitors in the PB of MM patients. Positive selection of CD34+ cells reduces the contamination of myeloma cells from the apheresis products up to 3 log and provides a cell suspension capable of restoring normal hematopoiesis following a TBI-containing conditioning regimen. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Despite improved detection of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), results of its treatment with conventional therapies remain disappointing and the survival rate poor. The role of high-dose chemotherapy has recently been investigated but no potential benefit has been clearly established. We report here our experience with MCL patients treated with intensive chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Of the 16 MCL patients who received high-dose chemotherapy and ASCT beginning in 1989, six were treated in first-line and 10 in sensitive relapse. Twelve of 16 patients received regimens which included total body irradiation. All patients received peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) with the exception of one, who underwent bone marrow transplantation. RESULTS: Three patients died of toxic effects of treatment, Three months after transplant, seven achieved complete response, (CR) and two partial responses (PR), two were stable and two had progressed. With a median follow-up after transplant of 22 months, five of the six surviving patients were without progression, and three were in CR. The median times for event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were, respectively, 249 and 317 days. The expected three-year EFS and OS were 24%. The median survival after diagnosis was only 29 months. None of the criteria appeared to be significantly associated with a better outcome, but first-line intensification and a short delay after initial diagnosis may be favorable. CONCLUSION: In this study we were not able to confirm the hypothetical benefit of high-dose chemotherapy and PBSC transplantation in mantle cell lymphoma, even though this approach may be promising in a subgroup of patient. 相似文献

The immune-mediated graft-versus-leukemia effect is important to prevent relapse after allogeneic progenitor cell transplantation. This process requires engraftment of donor immuno-competent cells. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of achieving engraftment of allogeneic peripheral blood or bone marrow progenitor cell after purine analog containing nonmyeloablative chemotherapy. Patients with advanced leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who were not candidates for a conventional myeloablative therapy because of older age or organ dysfunction were eligible. All patients had an HLA-identical or one-antigen-mismatched related donor. Fifteen patients were treated (13 with acute myeloid leukemia and 2 with MDS). The median age was 59 years (range, 27 to 71 years). Twelve patients were either refractory to therapy or beyond first relapse. Eight patients received fludarabine at 30 mg/m2/d for 4 days with idarubicin at 12 mg/m2/d for 3 days and ara-c at 2 g/m2/d for 4 days (n = 7) or melphalan at 140 mg/m2/d (n = 1). Seven patients received 2-chloro-deoxyadenosine at 12 mg/m2/d for 5 days and ara-C 1 at g/m2/d for 5 days. Thirteen patients received allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells and 1 received bone marrow after chemotherapy. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consisted of cyclosporine and methyl-prednisolone. Treatment was generally well tolerated, with only 1 death from multiorgan failure before receiving stem cells. Thirteen patients achieved a neutrophil count of greater than 0.5 x 10(9)/L a median of 10 days postinfusion (range, 8 to 17 days). Ten patients achieved platelet counts of 20 x 10(9)/L a median of 13 days after progenitor cell infusion (range, 7 to 78 days). Eight patients achieved complete remissions (bone marrow blasts were < 5% with neutrophil recovery and platelet transfusion independence) that lasted a median of 60 days posttransplantation (range, 34 to 170+ days). Acute GVHD grade > or = 2 occurred in 3 patients. Chimerism analysis of bone marrow cells in 6 of 8 patients achieving remission showed > or = 90% donor cells between 14 and 30 days postinfusion, and 3 of 4 patients remaining in remission between 60 and 90 days continued to have > or = 80% donor cells. We conclude that purine analog-containing nonmyeloablative regimens allow engraftment of HLA-compatible hematopoietic progenitor cells. This approach permits us to explore the graft-versus-leukemia effect without the toxicity of myeloablative therapy and warrants further study in patients with leukemia who are ineligible for conventional transplantation with myeloablative regimens either because of age or concurrent medical conditions. 相似文献
