Reduced incidence of GVHD without increase in relapse with low-dose rabbit ATG in the preparative regimen for unrelated bone marrow transplants in CML

Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) treatment prevents graft failure and results in a low incidence of GVHD, but an increased risk of relapse could be expected as a consequence of reduced GVHD. From September 1995 to June 2001, 28 consecutive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients underwent unrelated bone...

description Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) treatment prevents graft failure and results in a low incidence of GVHD, but an increased risk of relapse could be expected as a consequence of reduced GVHD. From September 1995 to June 2001, 28 consecutive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients underwent unrelated bone marrow transplants: 21 were in chronic phase (CP) and seven in advanced phase (AP). Median age was 35.5 years (range 20-50). HLA typing was based on high-resolution molecular techniques; in eight cases there were one or more allele mismatches. The preparative regimen consisted of TBI, EDX 120 mg/kg and rabbit ATG 15 mg/kg. All patients engrafted and no rejection occurred. Acute GVHD grade III-IV occurred in six patients (21%). Chronic GVHD occurred in 10 (40%) and it was extensive in one. Four out of seven patients transplanted in AP had a hematological relapse. Of 21 in CP, there was one cytogenetic and one molecular relapse: these two patients are now in complete remission with imatinib mesylate. With a median follow-up of 45.7 months, the 5-year survival is 76.2% for those transplanted in CP. These data demonstrate that transplants performed in CP, with low-dose ATG, are associated with a good outcome, low incidence of GVHD and no increase of relapse.
