Feasibility of early tapering of cyclosporine following reduced-intensity stem cell transplantation for advanced hematologic or solid malignancies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although some researchers have reported that early tapering of cyclosporine is feasible and beneficial to augment graft-versus-leukemia effects after conventional stem-cell transplantation, there is little information on the feasibility of this strategy following reduced-intensity stem cell transplantation (RIST). We summarized outcomes of 17 patients who underwent early tapering of cyclosporine following RIST from HLA-identical siblings.

We compared the outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using reduced intensity and myeloablative conditioning for the treatment of patients with advanced hematological malignancies. A total of 75 adult patients received transplants from human leukocyte antigen-matched donors, coupled with either reduced intensity (n=40; fludarabine/melphalan, 28; fludarabine/cyclophospha...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains the most common late complication of allogeneic stem cell transplantation, producing significant long-term morbidity and contributing to a substantial risk of late mortality. Chronic GVHD may be more common, more protracted and less responsive to current treatments after peripheral-blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation ...

High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been explored as a method to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy for advanced solid tumors. The failure of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to prolong survival in patients with metastatic solid tumors has sparked interest recently in studies exploring the potential of allogeneic hematopo...

This phase 1/2 study assessed the augmentation of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) with total marrow and lymph node irradiation (TMLI), for peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, in patients with advanced hematologic disease. The regimen consisted of fludarabine 25 mg/m(2) per day for 5 days, melphalan 140 mg/m(2) for one day, and TMLI radiation at 150 cGy/fraction in 8 fractions over ...
