HLA-Haploidentical HSCT with Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide for Severe Aplastic Anemia

Abstract

Abstract 4510 ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of pretransplantation donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) and posttransplantation cycolphosphamide (CY) to prevent graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after bone marrow transplantation plus peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from HLA-haploidentical mismatched related donors. MethodsFour patients (median age, 11 years; range, 8–15 years) with severe aplastic anemia and all of them had HLA-haploidentical donors more than or equal to 2/8 HLA (HLA-A, B, C and DRB1) mismatched at antigen level. The conditioning regimen consisted of pretransplantation DLI (Lymphocytes, 1×10e7/kg at day -9); 40mg/m2/day of fludarabine (day-6 to -2); 3.2mg/kg/day of Busulfex (day-6 and -5); 10mg/kg/day of Thiotepa (day -4) and 50mg/kg/day of Cy on day -7, 14.5mg/kg on day-3,-2 and 40mg/kg on day +3,+4, respectively. The prophylaxis of acute GVHD consisted of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. The median follow-up time is 5 (rang: 3–6) months. ResultsThe median times to neutrophil (>500/ÌL) and platelet recovery (>20,000/ÌL) were 21 and 23.5 days, respectively. No acute GVHD and Chronic GVHD were, so far, observed for all patients and were survive without SAA. ConclusionPosttransplantation cyclophosphamide for the prophylaxis of acute GVHD was safe and effective. Disclosures:No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
