Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Children with relapsed and refractory acute leukemia have a very poor clinical effect by simple chemotherapy, and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only effective approach to cure the disease. Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is becoming gradually mature, and the data show it has gotten better clinical efficacy than identical sibling and unrelated matched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In addition, parents have high compliance in order to save the treatment interval, which ensures the stem cell number and prevents leukemia recurrence, significantly improving the transplantation success rate and long-term leukemia-free survival rate.
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy of parental peripheral blood haploidentical stem cell transplantation in treating children with relapsed and refractory acute leukemia.
METHODS: Thirty-five children with relapsed and refractory acute leukemia undergoing parental peripheral blood haploidentical stem cell transplantation were enrolled. “Modified 1,4-butanediol dimethanesulfonate/ cyclophosphamide+thymocyte immunoglobulin” conditioning regimen and triple therapy of methotrexate, cyclosporine A and mycophenolate mofetil were applied to prevent graft-versus-host disease.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All the 35 patients achieved full engraftment. (1) The median mononuclear cells was 5.82(3.23-8.45)×108/kg, the median CD34+ cells was 4.52 (2.37-11.51)×106/kg. (2) Within 100 days after stem cell infusion, the transplant related mortality was 14.3%. (3) Incidence of I-II degrees of acute graft-versus-host disease was 34.3%, III-IV incidence was 37.1%, and the total incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease was 42.9%. (4) The 2-year leukemia-free survival rate was 42.9%; the 2-year overall survival rate was 51.4%; the leukemia relapse rate was 34.3%; median survival time was 24 months. Results show that if there are no human leukocyte antigen-identical sibling and unrelated human leukocyte antigen-matched donors, parental haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is an effective and feasible treatment for children with relapsed and refractory acute leukemia.
