ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the efficiency and safety of low intensity conditional regimen for children with Fanconi anemia (FA) receiving allogenic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (allo-HSCT).@*Methods@#Four patients diagnosed as Fanconi anemia were enrolled in this study. One patient received HLA-identical sibling donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, two patients underwent unrelated donor matched (UD) HSCT, and one patient received unrelated cord blood transplantation. The conditional regimen consisted of Busulfan with low dose of cyclophosphamide.@*Results@#All 4 cases succeeded in allo-HSCT. The median time for neutrophils engraftment was 11(9-15) day, median time to platelets (PLT) engraftment was 12 (8-28) day. One case occurred with grade I of aGVHD, 1 case with hemorrhagic cystitis. No patient happened with hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD).@*Conclusion@#Low intensity of conditional regimen is efficient and safe which should be recommended for FA patients with HSCT.
ABSTRACT
The safety of decitabine as bridging treatment before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in children with refractory hematological malignancies was evaluated.All 11 cases succeeded in hematopoietic reconstitution.The main adverse reaction was hematological toxicity.Neither did infections occur,nor drug-induced liver damage and renal impairment during decitabine administration.Most cases showed grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ gastrointestinal adverse events.One case was diagnosed as severe acute graft versus host disease and died of intracranial hemorrhage on day 61 after allo-HSCT.The other 10 patients survived.Decitabine bridge is a safe regimen before allo-HSCT in children with refractory hematological malignancies.
