摘要
Why a new Perspective in allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation? A summary. Nowadays, for high-risk acute leukemia patients without an HLA-matched donor (sibling or volunteer), hematopoietic transplants that use HLA-haploidentical grafts combined with enhanced post transplant immune suppression (i.e., high-dose cyclophosphamide) are widely used. They are associated with low TRM rates. However, they are also associated with significant chronic GvHD while they only partially abrogate leukemia relapse rates. One may speculate that post-transplant immune suppression, required for GvHD prophylaxis, weakens the anti-leukemic potential of the graft. Historically, haploidentical transplants became feasible for the first time through transplantation of T cell-depleted peripheral blood hematopoietic progenitor cells. Lack of post-transplant immune suppression allowed the emergence of donor-versus-recipient NK-cell alloreactions that eradicated AML. In an attempt to improve these results we recently combined an age-adapted, irradiation-based conditioning regimen with transplant of T-cell-depleted grafts and infusion of regulatory and conventional T cells, without any post transplant immune suppression. With the obvious limitations of a single center experience, this protocol resulted in extremely low relapse and chronic GvHD rates and, consequently, in a remarkable 75% chronic GvHD/relapse-free survival in over 50 AML patients up to the age of 65 many of whom at high risk of relapse.
