Efficacy analysis of SEAM preconditioning regimen followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma / 白血病·淋巴瘤

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and adverse effects of SEAM (semustine, etoposide, cytarabine and melphalan) preconditioning regimen followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).Methods:The clinical data of 20 NHL patients receiveing conditioning regimen followed by auto-HSCT in 920th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2015 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The pretreatment-related adverse effects, recovery of hematopoietic function after transplantation, and disease prognosis were observed.Results:During the pretreatment of 20 patients, 1 patient had pulmonary infection, 8 patients had nausea and vomiting, 3 patients had diarrhea, 1 patient had fever, 1 patient had lung injury, and 1 patient had mucositis. After auto-HSCT, 16 patients achieved hematopoietic reconstruction, the median time of neutrophil engraftment (neutrophil ≥0.5×10 9/L) was 13 d (8-30 d) and the median time of platelet engraftment (platelets ≥20×10 9/L) was 13 d (9-37 d). The median follow-up time was 27 months (3-65 months). Until the end of the follow-up, 16 (80%) patients had disease-free survival, 4 patients died, and no patient had recurrence and disease progression; non-relapse mortality was 20%. Conclusions:SEAM conditioning regimen followed by auto-HSCT has a better tolerance, less adverse events, quick recovery of hematopoietic reconstruction and good efficacy for NHL patients.
