Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is a curative procedure for myeloid malignant neoplasms, but relapse after HCT remains critical. A conditioning regimen involving granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-combined high-dose cytarabine, cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation (G-CSF-combined high-dose cytarabine/cyclophosphamide/total-body irradiation [HDCA/CY/TBI]) was reported to improve outcomes after cord blood transplant (CBT) for myeloid malignant neoplasms, but this regimen was not previously evaluated among patients undergoing bone marrow transplant (BMT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT).
METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed 28 patients who underwent allogeneic HCT including BMT from a related (1 patient) or unrelated donor (9 patients), PBSCT from a related donor (7 patients), or single-unit CBT from an unrelated donor (11 patients) after a G-CSF-combined HDCA/CY/TBI regimen.
RESULTS
All patients achieved neutrophil and platelet engraftment, which were significantly more rapid in the BMT/PBSCT group than in the CBT group. Eighteen patients were alive at a median follow-up of 54.3 months. The 3-year relapse and nonrelapse mortality rates were 28.6% and 7.1%, respectively, which were similar between the BMT/PBSCT and CBT groups. Overall survival and disease-free survival at 5 years after HCT were 62.6% and 64.3%, respectively, which were also similar between the BMT/PBSCT and CBT groups. Only disease status at HCT had a significant impact on overall survival and disease-free survival (86.7% with standard risk vs 38.5% with high risk and 86.7% with standard risk vs 38.5% with high risk, respectively).
CONCLUSION
A G-CSF-combined HDCA/CY/TBI regimen is a promising conditioning in patients with myeloid malignant neoplasms who undergo not only CBT but also BMT or PBSCT.
