Busulfan in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

The development of intravenous busulfan (Bu) and its incorporation in the preparative regimens for allogeneic stem cell transplantation has changed transplantation for myelogenous malignancies. Bypassing the oral route to achieve 100% bioavailability translated into improved control over drug administration, with increased safety and reliability of generating therapeutic Bu levels, maximizing antileukemic efficacy. Bu-nucleoside analog-based conditioning chemotherapy, thus far represented by fludarabine (Flu), is becoming the conditioning chemotherapy regimen of choice for patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) at many transplant centers. The use of busulfan Bu-based conditioning is extending rapidly also to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for lymphoid malignancies, genetic diseases, and umbilical cord blood transplantation.     

Allogenic stem cell transplantation for nonmalignant disorders using matched unrelated donors.

We here report 25 patients with nonmalignant disorders, ie, severe aplastic anemia (SAA, n = 12) or inborn errors of metabolism (IEM, n = 13), who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from unrelated high-resolution typed HLA-A, -B, and -DRbeta1 identical donors. One patient had an HLA-B subtype-mismatched donor. Conditioning for SAA mainly consisted of cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation, and that for IEM consisted of busulfan and cyclophosphamide. All patients received antithymocyte globulin during conditioning. After HSCT, they were given cyclosporine combined with methotrexate for immunosuppression. Two patients rejected their grafts: 1 died of pneumonia, and the other was successfully regrafted. The cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease grades II to IV was 24%, whereas chronic graft-versus-host disease occurred in 21%. The 5-year survival rates were 83% in the SAA group and 85% in those with IEM. We conclude that HSCT with HLA-A, -B, and -DRbeta1 genomically matched unrelated donors in combination with antithymocyte globulin in the conditioning regimen gives encouraging results in patients with SAA or IEM.     

非清髓性异基因造血干细胞移植预处理方案的毒性比较

背景：选择高效低毒的预处理方案是提高造血干细胞移植成功率的关键。氟达拉滨和抗胸腺细胞球蛋白,均属于强效免疫抑制剂,常用于非清髓性造血干细胞移植预处理中。 目的：对采用氟达拉滨或抗胸腺细胞球蛋白为基础的非清髓性异基因造血干细胞移植预处理方案患者,在预处理中及移植后早期毒性进行比较。 方法：32例血液系统恶性肿瘤患者中,按照非清髓性预处理方案中的免疫抑制剂分成两组即氟达拉滨组和抗胸腺细胞球蛋白组,预处理方案均为氟达拉滨或抗胸腺细胞球蛋白联合减低化疗强度的白消安/环磷酰胺,或者马法兰。抗胸腺细胞球蛋白组在形成混合性嵌合体后进行供者淋巴细胞输注。对两组患者预处理中出现的器官毒性进行统计学分析,毒性分级参照Bearman等制订的预处理相关毒性(RRT)分级标准。 结果与结论：两组无因预处理相关毒性而死亡。氟达拉滨组转氨酶发生率、腹泻发生率与和抗胸腺细胞球蛋白组比较差异均无显著性意义(P > 0.05);氟达拉滨组肝脏毒性发生率、黏膜炎发生率均显著低于抗胸腺细胞球蛋白组(P < 0.05);血液学毒性方面,氟达拉滨组白细胞达最低值、血小板≥50×109 L-1的时间、输注红细胞量、输注血小板的量均低于抗胸腺细胞球蛋白组(P < 0.05)。     

Unrelated Donor Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients with β-Thalassemia Major Based on a Novel Conditioning Regimen

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only available curative treatment for patients with β-thalassemia major (β-TM). However, the problem of finding a suitable sibling donor with well-matched human leukocyte antigens is still a major obstacle to curing these patients. With the progress in high-resolution HLA typing technology and supportive care, outcomes after allogeneic HSCT from an HLA well-matched unrelated donor (UD) now approach those of well-matched sibling donors. However, UD HSCT is hampered by an increased risk of graft-versus-host disease and transplant-related mortality. Here we report the outcome of transplantation in patients with β-TM using a novel WZ-14-TM transplant protocol, based on cyclophosphamide, intravenous busulfan, fludarabine, and antithymocyte globulin, in our center. Forty-eight patients between 2 and 11 years of age with β-TM received HLA well-matched UD peripheral blood stem cell transplantation following the WZ-14-TM protocol. All of the transplanted patients achieved donor engraftment. The incidences of grade II to IV acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease were 8.3% and 8.3%, respectively. The overall survival and thalassemia-free survival rates were both 100%. This encouraging result suggests that the WZ-14-TM protocol is a feasible and safe conditioning regime for patients with β-TM undergoing UD HSCT.     

Oral health as a predictive factor for oral mucositis

OBJECTIVES:

Oral mucositis is a complication frequently associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, decreasing a patient''s quality of life and increasing the occurrence of opportunistic infections. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and severity of oral mucositis and to assess the correlation of this disease with the oral health of an individual at the time of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

METHODS:

Before transplantation, patients'' oral health and inflammatory conditions were determined using the gingival index and the plaque index, which are based on gingival bleeding and the presence of dental plaque, respectively. Additionally, the dental health status was determined using the decayed, missing, and filled teeth index. The monitoring of oral mucositis was based on the World Health Organization grading system and was performed for five periods: from Day 0 to D+5, from D+6 to D+10, from D+11 to D+15, from D+16 to D+20, and from D+21 to D+30.

RESULTS:

A total of 97 patients (56% male and 44% female) who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at the Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Sao Paulo between January 2008 and July 2009 were prospectively examined. The incidence of ulcerative mucositis was highest from days +6 to +10 and from days +11 to +15 in the patients who underwent autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

The data, including the dental plaque and periodontal status data, showed that these oral health factors were predictive of the incidence and severity of oral mucositis in a cohort of patients with similar conditioning regimens before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.     

Toll-like 4 receptor variant, Asp299Gly, and reduced risk of hemorrhagic cystitis after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a major cause of morbidity after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a pattern recognition receptor of the innate immune system and induces inflammation. Individuals with the single nucleotide polymorphisms Thr399Ile (rs4986791) or Asp299Gly (rs4986790) of TLR4 show diminished inflammatory responsiveness to endotoxins. The genotype of TLR4 was determined in 166 children who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and in their donors. Asp299Gly was present in 21 patients (13%) and 24 donors (14%). Thr399Ile was found in 22 patients (13%) and 25 donors (15%). The incidence of HC was significantly lower in patients with Asp299Gly (0% vs 23%; P = .009) and in patients who underwent transplantation from a donor with Asp299Gly (4% vs 23%; P = .05). The trend was the same for Thr399Ile-donor positive (8% vs 22%; P = .17), recipient positive (9% vs 22%; P = .25), donor or recipient positive (8% vs 23%; P = .04). Multivariate analysis revealed age, conditioning with busulfan, and absence of Asp299Gly as independent risk factors for HC. In conclusion, the TLR4 Asp299Gly variant seems to confer protection against hemorrhagic cystitis. This study provides the first indication that the innate immune system through TLR4 signaling pathway plays a role in the pathogenesis of HC after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.     

Evaluation of oral beclomethasone dipropionate for prevention of acute graft-versus-host disease

Results from two randomized trials have shown that oral beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) is effective for treatment of acute gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease. Here, we report results of a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled phase II study designed to test the hypothesis that acute graft-versus-host disease could be prevented by administration of oral BDP, beginning before hematopoietic cell transplantation and continuing until day 75 after hematopoietic cell transplantation after myeloablative conditioning. Study drug (BDP or placebo) was administered as 1-mg immediate-release formulation plus 1-mg delayed-release formulation orally four times daily. According to the primary endpoint, systemic glucocorticoid treatment for graft-versus-host disease was given to 60 of the 92 participants (65%) in the BDP arm, versus 31 of 46 participants (67%) in the placebo arm. The secondary efficacy endpoints showed no statistically significant differences between the two arms. The proportion of participants who took at least 90% of the prescribed study drug during the first 4 weeks after hematopoietic cell transplantation was 54% overall. Lower severity of mucositis strongly correlated with higher adherence to the schedule of study drug administration. Inconsistent adherence related to mucositis during recovery after myeloablative conditioning may have obscured a beneficial therapeutic effect in the current study.
