Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of combination of haploidentical donor (HID) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with an unrelated cord blood unit for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Methods: The clinical data of 127 SAA patients [including 74 male and 53 female patients, 65 very severe aplastic anemia (vSAA), the median age as 23.5(3-54) years] received HID-HSCT from September 2011 to April 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The median interval from SAA diagnosis to transplantation was 2 (0.5-180) months. The conditioning was modified Bu/Cy+ATG/ALG-based (Busulfan + cyclophosphamide + antithymocyte immunoglobulin/antilymphocyte immunoglobulin) regimen. Cord blood units were selected based on the results of HLA typing and cell doses evaluated before freezing. Units with at least 4/6 matched HLA loci became the candidates. Prophylaxis for graft-versus host disease (GVHD) was by cyclosporine (CsA), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) plus short-term methotrexate (MTX). Results: The median values of absolute nucleated cell counts were 10.87 (3.61-24.00)×10(8)/kg in the haploidentical grafts and 2.22 (1.10-7.30)×10(7)/kg in the cord blood units, respectively. The median doses of CD34(+) cells infused were 3.49(1.02-8.89) ×10(6)/kg in the haploidentical grafts and 0.56 (0.16-2.27) ×10(5)/kg in the cord blood units, respectively. Of the 127 patients, 5 patients occurred early death, one patient occurred primary graft failure. All 121 surviving patients attained complete haploidentical engraftment. The median durations of myeloid engraftment were 11 (9-28) days and 15 (9-330) days for platelets, with a cumulative platelet engraftment incidence of 96.1%. The incidence of infection was 58.27% (74/127). During a median follow-up of 20.5 (4-60) months, the incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD was 24.79% (30/121), moderate-severe chronic GVHD was 14.15% (15/106), 4-year estimated overall survival was (78.5±4.3) %, 4-year estimated failure-free survival was (77.4±4.3) %, respectively. Conclusion: Combination of HID-HSCT and an unrelated umbilical cord blood unit was a feasible choice with favorable outcome for SAA patients without matched donors.

目的: 评价单倍型造血干细胞移植(haplo-HSCT)联合第三方脐血干细胞移植治疗重型再生障碍性贫血(SAA)的疗效及安全性。 方法: 对2011年9月至2017年4月间接受haplo-HSCT联合第三方脐血干细胞移植的127例SAA患者进行回顾性研究。 结果: 全部127例SAA患者中,男74例,女53例,中位年龄23.5(3~54)岁,其中极重型再生障碍性贫血65例。诊断至移植中位时间2(0.5~180)个月。单倍型造血干细胞来源为骨髓+外周血。脐血均选用单份,HLA配型≥4/6相合。127例患者均接受改良Bu/Cy+ATG/ALG预处理方案(白消安+环磷酰胺+抗胸腺细胞球蛋白/抗淋巴细胞球蛋白)。以环孢素A、霉酚酸酯联合短程甲氨蝶呤预防GVHD。回输单倍型供者单个核细胞10.87(3.61~24.00)×10(8)/kg,CD34(+)细胞3.49(1.02~8.89)×10(6)/kg;回输脐血单个核细胞2.22(1.10~7.30)×10(7)/kg,CD34(+)细胞0.56(0.16~2.27)×10(5)/kg。127例患者中5例发生早期死亡。在可评估的122例患者中,1例发生原发植入失败,其余121例患者成功植入(均为单倍型造血干细胞植入)。中性粒细胞、血小板植入时间分别为11(9~28)d、15(9~330)d,5例患者发生血小板植入不良。移植过程中74例(58.27%)发生感染。存活患者中位随访20.5(4.0~60.0)个月,Ⅱ~Ⅳ度急性GVHD发生率为24.79%(30/121),中/重度慢性GVHD发生率为14.15%(15/106),预期4年总生存率为(78.5±4.3)%,无失败生存率为(77.4±4.3)%。 结论: haplo-HSCT联合第三方脐血干细胞移植治疗SAA疗效确切且安全性较好,在无全相合供者情况下可作为有价值的治疗选择。.
