Prevention of acute graft versus host diseases following unrelated or HLA-mismatched transplantation in 13 cases / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To study curative effect of the combination of cyclosporine A,mycophenolate mofetil,anti-thymocyte globulin,interleukin-11 and short-term methotrexate as acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD) prophylaxis on HLA-matched unrelated donor or HLA-mismatched related donor allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation(Allo-PBSCT).METHODS:Thirteen patients with haematological malignancies who underwent HLA-matched unrelated donor or HLA-mismatched related donor Allo-PBSCT with the combination of cyclosporine A as aGVHD prophylaxis at Haikou Municipal People's Hospital from September to November 2008 were selected,including 7 of unrelated donor,3 of haplotype transplantation,and 3 of 1-locus mismatched.The conditioning regimen was performed at 7 days prior to transplantation,with cyclosporine A 5-10 mg/(kg?d),12 hours per time with twice per day.From day 7 prior to transplantation,mycophenolic acid was intravenous drip once per day,then 2.5 mg/(kg?d) antithymocyte globulin at days 5-2 prior to transplantation,1.5 mg/d interleukin 11 was subcutaneous injected at day 2 prior to and 10 days after transplantation,followed by intravenous drip 15 mg/m2 amethopterin at day 1 and 10 mg/m2 at days 3,6,11 after transplantation.The drug doge was reduced and stopped gradually after 3-6 months,which could be prolonged for haplotype grafter.Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was injected subcutaneously at day 3 prior to transplantation,and PBSCT was collected at days 4 and 5 after medication,which was infused to patients with subclavian vein at the same day.In total(7.82-9.11)?108/kg mononuclearcell and(2.9-7.7)?106/kg CD34+ cells were infused.RESULTS:Hematopoiesis was rebuilt in all patients with 46.15%(6/13) aGVHD incidence rate,including 8 %(1/13) of Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD.Up to April of 2009,all patients live and work as normal except one patient who can not visit public places.CONCLUSION:The combination of cyclosporine A,mycophenolate mofetil,anti-thymocyte globulin,interleukin-11 and short-term methotrexate is effective in the prevention of aGVHD.
