RESUMO
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 â -â ¡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.
