In vivo T-cell depletion with antithymocyte globulins improves overall survival after myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with hematologic disorders.

چکیده
To assess the effect of prophylactic treatment with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) on graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in myeloablative transplant patients, we performed a meta-analysis of randomized and cohort studies. Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Controlled Trial Register and the Science Citation Index were searched for studies on ATG treatment in patients with hematologic disorders undergoing myeloablative transplantation. Four randomized controlled trials, six retrospective and one prospective cohort study were included, covering 1,549 patients. The summary hazard ratios (HRs) for overall survival were 0.84.

تأثیر GVHD مزمن بر بقا بیماران لوسمی میلوئیدی حاد پس از پیوند سلول‌های بنیادی خون محیطی از خواهر یا برادر با HLA مشابه بدون تخلیه سلول T
Background : Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is among major complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation, and also is an important factor affecting the outcome of transplantation. An increased incidence of GVHD has been suggested following allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) transplantation, however, how this affects survival is not yet well clear. In this stu...
متن کاملRole of Stem Cell Transplantation in the Treatment of Burkitt Lymphoma; A Systematic Review
Background: Burkitt lymphoma is a common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children. It has a rapid and aggressive clinical course with frequent involvement of bone marrow and central nervous system. Systemic chemotherapy is the mainstay of the treatment for this malignancy in children. In this systematic review, we discuss autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSC...
متن کاملImpact of immune modulation with anti-T-cell antibodies on the outcome of reduced-intensity allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies.
The success of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) transplantation is largely dependent on alloimmune effects. It is critical to determine whether immune modulation with anti-T-cell antibody infusion abrogates the therapeutic benefits of transplantation. We examined 1676 adults undergoing RIC transplantation for hematologic malignancies. All patients received alkylating agent plus fludarabine;...
متن کاملClinical impact of human Jurkat T-cell-line-derived antithymocyte globulin in multiple myeloma patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
BACKGROUND Antithymocyte globulin or human Jurkat T-cell-line-derived antilymphocyte globulin is used in allogeneic stem cell transplantation to induce in vivo T-cell depletion to facilitate engraftment and lower graft-versus-host disease. In vitro studies suggest that antithymocyte globulin, besides causing T-cell depletion, has strong anti-myeloma activity. DESIGN AND METHODS We evaluated t...

Objective(s): High-risk neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer with poorprognosis despite modern multimodality therapy. Internal radiotherapy using131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is effective for treating the disease even if it isresistant to chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacyof 131I-MIBG radiotherapy combined with myeloablative high-dose chemotherapyand...
