Abstract

AlloSCT from a HLA matched sibling donor is the preferred treatment in children with acquired SAA in children. Alternative donor HSCT gives inferior results, and has been reserved for patients lacking matched family donors and unresponsive to medical therapy. However, given the poor outcome of medical therapy in subsets of patients with SAA, the advent less toxic fludarabine (FLU)-based non-myeloablative (NMA) regimens (Chan et al, BMT, 2001), and our recent experience with UCBT (Styczynski/Cairo et al, BMT, 2004), we investigated a risk-adapted AlloSCT approach to 17 consecutive children with SAA with matched related or unrelated donors between 01/2001 and 08/2006.
