Abstract

Objective: To investigate the incidences and risk factors of poor hematopoietic reconstitution (PHR) in patients with hematological diseases who underwent haploidentical allograft and were treated with rituximab for desensitization. Methods: Eight-three donor specific anti-HLA antibody (DSA, 2000 ≤MFI<10 000) positive patients who underwent haploidentical allograft were prospectively enrolled. Rituximab (375 mg/m2) was used for desensitization day-3 of conditioning regimen. Incidence and factors associated with PHR, including primary poor graft function and prolonged thrombocytopenia, were investigated. Results: There were 22 males and 61 females with a median age of 39(range: 1-65) years. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 100 day cumulative incidences of neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 93.0% and 90.7%, respectively. The incidences of PHR were 14.7%. The 3-year relapse rate, non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate, event-free survival (EFS), leukemia-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were 6.5%, 15.1%, 70.8%, 79.4% and 79.4%, respectively. Patients with DSA MFI<5 000 (group A, n=46) experienced lower PHR (4.4% vs. 27.5%, P=0.003), and higher 3-year EFS (79.5% vs. 59.8%, P=0.020) compared to those with DSA MFI≥5 000 (group B, n=37). Multivariate analysis showed that DSA MFI≥5 000 was correlated with PHR (HR=6.101, P=0.021). PHR was associated with higher NRM (HR=4.110, P=0.026), lower DFS (HR=3.656, P=0.019) and OS (HR=3.656, P=0.019). Conclusion: Our data suggest that high pre-transplant DSA level is a risk factor for PHR in patients with hematological diseases receiving haploidentical allograft and rituximab for desensitization.

目的: 探讨接受利妥昔单抗去敏治疗的单倍型相合造血干细胞移植(Haplo-SCT)患者体内供者特异性抗人类白细胞抗原抗体(DSA)对造血重建不良(PHR)的影响。 方法: 前瞻性入组2015年5月至2020年2月在北京大学人民医院接受Haplo-SCT、移植前DSA阳性[2 000 ≤平均荧光强度(MFI)<10 000]的血液病患者83例,预处理-3 d给予利妥昔单抗375 mg/m2,分析移植后PHR(包括原发植入不良和持续性血小板减少)的发生率和危险因素。 结果: 83例患者中男性22例、女性61例,中位年龄39(1~65)岁;应用Kaplan-Meier曲线方法分析显示100 d中性粒细胞和血小板植入率分别为93.0%和90.7%,PHR的发生率为14.7%,3年累计复发率、非复发死亡(NRM)、无事件生存率(EFS)、无病生存(DFS)和总生存(OS)分别为6.5%、15.1%、70.8%、79.4%和79.4%。DSA MFI<5 000患者(A组,46例)的PHR(4.4%比27.5%,P=0.003)发生率显著低于DSA MFI≥5000的患者(B组,37例);A组患者3年EFS显著高于B组(79.5%比59.8%,P=0.020)。多因素分析显示DSA MFI≥5 000是PHR高发生率的影响因素(HR=6.101,P=0.021);PHR是高NRM(HR=4.110,P=0.026)、低DFS(HR=3.656,P=0.019)和OS(HR=3.656,P=0.019)的影响因素。 结论: Haplo-SCT前DSA水平是接受利妥昔单抗去敏治疗患者移植后PHR发生的高危因素。.
