Abstract
The objective of the study was to assess the long-term outcome and impact of stem cell source in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) who received ASCT in first complete remission (CR). A total of 101 patients (median age 46 years) were included in the study. Cytogenetic categories distribution was: favorable: 18%, intermediate: 42%, and unfavorable: 7%. More than one induction course was needed for CR in 21% of patients. In all, 78% of patients had received at least one course of high-dose ara-C before autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Bone marrow (n=58) or peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) (n=43) transplantation was performed at a median of 3.5 months from CR. Hematologic recovery and hospitalization duration were significantly reduced in the PBSC group. No toxic death was recorded in this group. The median follow-up of survivors is 67 months (range: 15-183). The 6-year survival, disease-free survival (DFS), and relapse probabilities are 44%, 38%, and 54%, respectively. The presence of a favorable karyotype and the use of PBSC are independently associated to better survival, and DFS by multivariate analysis. Our results confirm that long-term DFS can be achieved with high-dose chemotherapy and ASCT in patients with AML. They show that use of PBSC is associated to very low mortality rate and acceptable morbidity and contributes to an improvement of autotransplant results.

Abstract
In the setting of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT), the epidemiology of transplant-related infections is still poorly defined. In 101 high-risk patients who received an HLA-identical sibling allo-SCT after RIC, including fludarabine, busulfan and antithymocyte globulin (ATG), we report during the first 6 months a cumulative incidence of positive CMV antigenemia of 42% (95% CI 32-52%), developing at a median of 37 (range 7-116) days without evidence of CMV disease (median follow-up, 434 days). The cumulative incidence of bacteremia was 25% (95% CI 17-33%), occurring at a median of 67 (range 7-172) days, while patients had recovered a full neutrophil count. In all, 65% of the bacteremia (95% CI 49-81%) were gram negative. The cumulative incidence of fungal infections was 8% (95% CI 3-13%), with a median onset of 89 (range 7-170) days. In multivariate analysis, stem cell source (bone marrow; P=0.0002) was significantly associated with the risk of positive CMV antigenemia, while higher doses of prednisone (>2 mg/kg) represented the major risk factor for bacteremia (P=0.0001). Infectious-related mortality was 5% (95% CI 1-9%), with aspergillosis being the principal cause. Collectively, these results suggest that prospective efforts are warranted to develop optimal antimicrobial preventive strategies after RIC allo-SCT.

Abstract
PURPOSE We conducted a phase 1 trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of weekly docetaxel delivered concurrently with radiation therapy for the treatment of locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirteen patients with histologically proven locally non-resectable advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas were enrolled in this study. Patients received 4 weekly doses of docetaxel by 1-hour intravenous (IV) infusion with 40 Gy of external beam radiation therapy during 4 weeks. Patients who were stabilized or in response, received 2 additional cycles of docetaxel with a 10 Gy boost of radiotherapy. Doses were escalated at 10 mg/m2 increments in successive cohorts of 3 new patients until MTD was observed. RESULTS Four patients received docetaxel at 20 mg/m2/week, 3 at 25 mg/m2/week, 3 at 30 mg/m2/week, and 3 at 35 mg/m2/week. All patients, except 2, were given the treatment in its integrity. The most common toxicities were nausea, vomiting, asthenia, and abdominal pains. Except for 1 patient, all toxicity was reversible and did not exceed grade 3. Hematologic toxicity was mild and has not required treatment interruption. 28% of the patients had to be rehospitalized. A total of 73 cycles was administered with a mean of 4 cycles per patient (2-6). CONCLUSION Even the MTD was not reached, dose escalation was stopped at 35 mg/m2/week. This dose is comparable to the ones previously published using docetaxel in combination with radiotherapy in other tumors. Three patients achieved stable disease and 1 patient an objective response. This combination of weekly docetaxel and radiotherapy shows a feasible and well-tolerated regimen, with, nonetheless, a significant rate of rehospitalization, for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of Carboplatin and Caelyx, a pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, with promising activities in various solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-two patients with various advanced solid tumors were included. Three dose levels of Caelyx were explored: 30, 35 and 40 mg/m2 in association with a fixed dose of Carboplatin (AUC 5) every 3 weeks. Dose escalation followed a modified continuous reassessment method. RESULTS Dose-limiting toxicities were almost exclusively hematological: 3 febrile neutropenia, 1 grade 4 neutropenia lasting more than 7 days and 2 grade 4 thrombopenia were observed. Grade 4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia were observed in 20 and 10% of courses, respectively. The median interval between courses was 25 days after cycle 1 and 27-28 days after subsequent cycles. Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, mucositis and other non hematological toxicities were mild and uncommon. One patient experienced a severe anaphylactic reaction immediately after Caelyx infusion. No clinical heart dysfunction was observed. Three patients responded to therapy including 2 clinical complete responses in relapsing ovarian cancer. CONCLUSION The recommended dose for future studies is Caelyx 35 mg/m2 + Carboplatin AUC 5 every 3 or 4 weeks. Antitumor activity, especially in ovarian cancer, warrants further investigation in phase II studies.

Abstract
Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) has emerged as an alternative to bone marrow transplantation. PBSCT can be associated with a higher incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). In this study, we investigated whether there was a correlation between the composition of PBSC grafts (CD34+ and CD3+ cells) and hematological recovery, GVHD, relapse, and relapse-free survival (RFS) after myeloablative HLA-identical sibling PBSCT. The evolution of 100 acute or chronic leukemia patients was analyzed. Neither hematological recovery, acute or cGVHD, nor relapse, was significantly associated with CD3+ cell dose. Increasing CD34+ stem cells was associated with faster neutrophil (P=0.03) and platelet (P=0.007) recovery. Moreover, 47 of the 78 patients evaluable for cGVHD (60%; 95% CI, 49-71%) developed extensive cGVHD. The probability of extensive cGVHD at 4 years was 34% (95% CI, 21-47%) in patients receiving a 'low' CD34+ cell dose (<8.3 x 10(6)/kg), as compared to 62% (95% CI, 48-76%) in patients receiving a 'high' CD34+ cell dose (>8.3 x 10(6)/kg) (P=0.01). At a median follow-up of 59 months, this has not translated into a difference in relapse. In patients evaluable for cGVHD, RFS was significantly higher in patients receiving a 'low' CD34+ cell dose as compared to those receiving a 'high' CD34+ cell dose (P=0.04). This difference was mainly because of a significantly higher cGVHD-associated mortality (P=0.01). Efforts to accelerate engraftment by increasing CD34+ cell dose must be counterbalanced with the risk of detrimental cGVHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor graft function without signs of graft rejection following allogeneic BMT (allo-BMT) occurs in around 9% of patients. A high incidence of hazardous complications may be encountered, leading to life-threatening situations. METHODS We describe three patients who underwent allo-BMT for acute leukemia in first complete remission and untreated myelodysplastic syndrome. The three patients experienced prolonged and profound granulocytopenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia, despite growth factors and transfusions. This was not corrected by donor leukocytes infusion. They received a boost of CD34(+) positively-selected cells from their HLA-identical sibling donors. RESULTS A rapid improvement of peripheral blood cell counts was observed in both patients who were in full donor chimerism status at time of boost infusion, whereas the patient with mixed chimerism did not show any signs of improvement. Neither patient suffered further exacerbation of GvHD. DISCUSSION Allogeneic positively-immunoselected CD34(+) cells can represent an interesting alternative treatment for poor graft function following allo-BMT, in the absence of graft rejection signs.

Abstract
From August 1995 to December 1997, 15 patients with stage III-IV ovarian cancer were treated with outpatient intensive chemotherapy with G-CSF and stem cell support. The first cycle consisted of cyclophophamide IV 6 g/m(2); second, third, fourth and fifth paclitaxel 250 mg/m(2) and the sixth and seventh carboplatin AUC 18. CD34(+) cells were collected after the first cycle and reinfused after completion of cycles 6 and 7. Fourteen patients had stage IIIc and one patient had stage IV disease with liver metastases. All patients underwent laparotomy to maximize tumor debulking. This was optimal in eight patients and suboptimal in seven patients. Second-look surgery was performed in 14 patients. All patients had macroscopic complete responses and 10 patients had complete histologic response. Median follow-up was 48 months (range, 20 to 62). Twelve patients had further progression at a median of 27 months (range, 9 to 42) and nine are alive, three without evidence of disease progression. This pilot study shows that dose-dense chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin is associated with low toxicity and may improve the outcome of patients with poor prognosis ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Large granular lymphocyte (LGL) proliferation typically follows a chronic course during which major features are cytopenia and immune abnormalities. Elevated numbers of LGL were reported in a few cases following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). In this report, we present a retrospective analysis of LGL cases that occurred following allo-SCT in a cohort of 201 consecutive patients transplanted over a period of 7 years. Six cases were identified and LGL expansion occurred more frequently following a reduced fludarabine and anti-T lymphocyte globulin-based preparative regimen (4 cases/49), than after a conventional myeloablative regimen (2 cases/152). Expansion of LGL was seen between 3 and 15 months following allo-SCT. Hematopoiesis, with mild to severe cytopenia, was a favored target for LGL. Autoimmune manifestations including polyarthritis and hypergammaglobulinemia were also observed. LGL proliferation was observed in the context of chronic antigenic stimulation associated with recurrent viral infections especially CMV. Moreover, five out of these six high risk patients achieved a long-term complete remission concomitant or following LGL expansion. These data suggest that LGL might be a subset of effector lymphocytes which may participate to the graft-versus-tumor effect.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate and to compare in terms of toxicity the modulations of dose intensity of cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin in adjuvant chemotherapy for high-risk breast cancer. Four cycles of sequential high-dose chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC), supported with G-CSF and peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) were administered to 81 women. Three successive cohorts were studied: doxorubicin (75 mg/m(2)) + cyclophosphamide (3000 mg/m(2)) every 21 days (group 1), doxorubicin (75 mg/m(2)) + cyclophosphamide (3000 mg/m(2)) every 15 days (group 2), and doxorubicin (75 mg/m(2)) + cyclophosphamide (6000 mg/m(2)) every 21 days (group 3). Seventy-five patients received four cycles of treatment with a total of 310 cycles administered. The received dose intensity of doxorubicin was higher in group 2 and that of cyclophosphamide was lower in group 1 than in the other two groups. Hematological and extra-hematological toxicities, as well as the number and duration of hospitalizations for toxicity, were significantly higher in group 3. We conclude that the group 3 regimen is associated with toxicities comparable to autologous transplantation. Increasing dose intensity of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide is feasible in an outpatient setting and safe in groups 1 and 2 with the support of hematopoietic factor and PBSC.

Abstract
The importance of dose intensity has been strongly emphasized in high-risk breast cancer. Overexpression of erb B2 is clearly correlated with an overall poor prognosis which could be limited in patients receiving intensive chemotherapy with alkylating agents and autologous stem cell transplants (SST). Thirty-five patients with high-risk non-metastatic breast cancer (>4 involved lymph nodes), treated with high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) followed by SST were analyzed. All were previously treated by four cycles of standard-dose anthracycline or anthracene dione. Nine had erb B2 overexpression. Minimum follow-up duration was 41 months (median 68 months). At 5 years, the actuarial relapse-free survival is 57.4% and actuarial overall survival 67.4%. Patients with overexpression of erb B2 had significantly lower disease-free survivals (P: 0.021) and overall survivals (P: 0.001). On multivariate analysis, erb B2 overexpression appeared to be the single independent poor prognosis factor for relapse (RR 3.25, range 1.12 to 9.45) and overall (RR 5.28, range 1.74 to 16.03) survival. These results suggest that poor prognosis of erb B2 overexpression is unchanged after HDC with alkylating agents but a possible benefit may exist in these patients with the additional monoclonal antibody, herceptin.

Abstract
This study was designed to measure treatment side-effects and quality of life (QL) of 47 nonmetastatic breast cancer patients subjected to a dose-intensity increase while receiving a sequential high dose chemotherapy (doxorubicin+cyclophosphamide - 4 cycles). The dose-intensity increase was obtained by shortening the length of cycles from 21 to 14 days. Treatment side-effects were self-assessed in terms of frequency and associated distress in cycles 1 and 3 by using a specific side-effect self-report questionnaire (19 items). Multidimensional QL measurement was performed at inclusion and before the start of cycles 2 and 4, by using the EORTC QLQ-C30. Pain was evaluated by patients on a visual analogue scale at the same times as QL evaluation. Patients' self-ratings indicated that the total number of symptoms, the number of symptoms rated by patients as quite or very distressing, and symptom frequency were comparable whatever the length of cycle. Overall, although underestimating most patients' symptoms, physicians' reports provided similar results. However, analysis of multidimensional QL showed that, in comparison to standard administration of 4 cycles of 21 days, there was a more significant deterioration of the QLQ-C30 global QL score ( P=0.01) at the second cycle of chemotherapy and of the physical functioning score ( P=0.02) at the fourth cycle when the cycle length was reduced. This study, although limited by a small patient cohort, has shown that shortening cycles to increase dose intensity had relatively few consequences on adverse treatment effects but a highly negative impact on patients' quality of life.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of three different dose levels of pegylated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (Ro 25-8315) on progenitor cell mobilization and hematologic recovery in cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Breast cancer patients (n = 36) were randomly assigned to receive before (part I) and after (part II) chemotherapy either a single-dose injection of Ro 25-8315 (20 microg/kg, n = 9; 60 microg/kg, n = 9; 100 microg/kg, n = 10) or a standard daily dose of filgrastim (part I, 10 microg/kg/d; part II, 5 microg/kg/d) (control group, n = 8). RESULTS Overall, Ro 25-8315 was well tolerated. In part I, more progenitor cell mobilization was observed with Ro 25-8315 100 microg/kg. The peak of circulating CD34(+) cells was obtained at day +5 in the four groups, and the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) returned to less than 20 x 10(9)/L by day +15. In part II, high levels of circulating CD34(+) cells (> 20 cells/microL) were obtained in all four groups. The chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (< 1 x 10(9)/L) was similar in the four groups. Ro 25-8315 100 microg/kg was more effective than filgrastim in reducing the number of patients with an ANC less than 0.5 x 10(9)/L on day +12 after chemotherapy. CONCLUSION A single injection of Ro 25-8315 100 microg/kg might be the optimal dose for steady-state peripheral-blood progenitor cell mobilization. A single injection of 20, 60, or 100 microg/kg could be as efficient as daily administration of filgrastim to correct chemotherapy-induced cytopenia. The optimal dose of Ro 25-8315 should be determined according to the planned chemotherapy regimen.

Abstract
We report here the first case of large granular lymphocytes (LGL) expansion following non-myeloablative allo-BMT for chronic myeloid leukemia. We characterized the morphologic, phenotypic and functional features of the LGL subset amplified in vivo 14 months after allo-BMT. Our results indicate that LGL can mediate in vitro a cytolytic activity on tumor cells. In vivo, the timing of the LGL expansion was associated with a sustained complete molecular remission. These observations suggest that LGL are a subset with the properties of effector lymphocytes which may contribute to the graft-versus-tumor effect.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most frequent neoplastic disease in populations of developed countries. It will affect 1 of every 6 or 7 women during their lifetime. The disease eventually evolves to a metastatic stage, and currently appears to be not curable at that stage. Thus, understanding mechanisms that result in the establishment of tumor at sites distant from the primary location is of the utmost importance. Equally important is the definition of a metastatic state, especially in regard to the detection of micrometastases. Finally, the presence of circulating tumor cells in the peripheral blood of patients who undergo progenitor mobilization, collection and reinfusion may be of clinical significance in the setting of high-dose chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Abstract
Two male patients aged 26 and 18 years presented with vertebral metastases originating from pineoblastomas on which surgery had been performed 8 years and 5 months earlier, respectively. In the first case in which the metastasis developed in the T8 corpus, the disease is presently under control after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous blood stem cell transplantation. The second patient (sacral metastasis), despite aggressive adjuvant therapy, died 2 years after the last operation because of spinal seeding. These uncommon cases are discussed with reference to the literature on extraneural metastases that originate from neuroepithelial tumors of the central nervous system.

Abstract
Between 50 and 75% of adult patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia achieve complete remission (CR) but 25 to 40% of them require more than one course of induction chemotherapy to achieve CR. In order to investigate the impact of this situation on the overall outcome of patients we conducted a retrospective analysis of 130 patients, resistant to a single induction course from among three consecutive protocols, using the same induction regimen employed by the BGMT study group. This group of patients has a particularly poor prognosis with relapse and survival rates of 70% and 14% respectively at 5 years. For these patients, being in CR after two induction courses appears to be a major prognostic factor for outcome, since the 5-year Kaplan-Meier survival probability is significantly better (29%, range 17-46) than of those patients with resistant disease (5%, range 2-13). However, results are worse than when complete remission is obtained after a single course. Thus, post remission treatment should have a powerful anti-leukemic effect in preventing relapse. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is a preferential strategy in this setting but to be effective this should be performed as early as possible. Furthermore, these results indicate that allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from an alternative donor should be considered in the absence of HLA identical sibling.

Abstract
PURPOSE to determine the outcome of epithelial ovarian cancer in patients registered with the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT). PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 254 patients with advanced or recurrent disease, median age 46 years (14-63) from 39 centres treated between 1982 and 1996. Only 25% of patients were known to have no or microscopic disease after initial surgery; in approximately 20% the disease status was unknown, the remainder had macroscopic disease. RESULTS One hundred five patients received high-dose chemotherapy in complete or very good partial remission, twenty-seven in second remission and the remainder in the presence of residual disease. Most received melphalan or carboplatin, or a combination (86%) supported by autologous bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells. The survival of patients treated in remission was significantly better than in other groups (median 33 vs. 14 months; P = 0.0001). The durability of remission was longer after transplantation in first remission than in second remission (median disease-free survival 18 vs. 9 months; P = 0.005). With a median follow-up of 76 months from diagnosis the median disease-free and overall survival in stage III disease transplanted in remission is 42 and 59 months and for stage IV disease 26 and 40 months. CONCLUSIONS High-dose chemotherapy has a potential benefit for patients in remission. The results support the conduct of randomised studies to determine whether there is a real value from this treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) in patients under the age of 60 have a very poor prognosis when the international prognostic index (IPI) is high, with an age-adjusted (Aa)-IPI score at 3. In such patients, conventional chemotherapy results in a low complete response (CR) rate of 46%, a five-year survival and disease-free survival (DFS) of 32% and 58%, respectively. For this report we have analyzed whether front-line high-dose chemotherapy could influence the outcome of this group of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1992 onwards we conducted two pilot clinical trials of intensive sequential chemotherapy (ISC) with growth factors and blood stem cell support as initial treatment in 62 poor-risk patients with aggressive NHL. Of these patients, 33 were considered to be a high-risk group based on the Aa-IPI. RESULTS The median age was 42 years (range 21-60). The treatment was completed in 88% of patients, 86% receiving greater than 75% or more of the projected dose-intensity. Twenty patients (61%) achieved a CR. At a median follow-up of 48 months (range 26-86), the estimated five-year survival and DFS was 51% (95% confidence interval (CI): 34%-68%) and 70% (95% CI: 50%-90%), respectively. CONCLUSION These results suggest that primary treatment using high-dose therapy supported by both growth factors and peripheral blood stem cells can cure up to 50% of high-risk patients with malignant lymphomas.
