Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has improved the outcome of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). To further improve the treatment outcome of ASCT in AML, finding a modifiable prognostic factor is mandatory. We evaluated the effect of CD34(+) cell dose on survival in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from HLA-matched sibling donors for AML patients in first complete remission (CR1). The 99 patients included in our analysis were classified into high CD34(+) cell dose group (CD34(+) cells > or = 2.5 x 10(6)/kg) and low CD34(+) cell dose group (CD34(+) cells < 2.5 x 10(6)/kg). The high CD34(+) cell dose patients had better overall survival (5-year overall survival rate, 75% +/- 6% vs 52% +/- 9%; P = .01) and leukemia-free survival (5-year leukemia-free survival rate, 70% +/- 6% vs 44% +/- 9%; P = .04). CD34(+) cell dose was the only independent prognostic factor in overall survival and leukemia-free survival. The high CD34(+) cell dose group had a lower relapse incidence with a borderline statistical significance (5-year relapse rate, 27% +/- 6% vs 50% +/- 10%; P = .09). There were no differences in the engraftment of neutrophil and platelet, grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), extensive-stage chronic GVHD, and transplant-related mortality between the high and low CD34(+) cell dose groups. We confirmed that high CD34(+) cell dose favorably affects the outcomes in allogeneic BMT for AML. The effort to attain a high CD34(+) cell dose should be pursued during bone marrow harvest in allogeneic BMT for AML in CR1.
异基因干细胞移植(ASCT)改善了急性髓系白血病(AML)的治疗结果。为进一步提高AML患者ASCT的治疗效果,寻找一个可改变的预后因素至关重要。我们评估了CD34(+)细胞剂量对首次完全缓解(CR1)的AML患者接受来自HLA匹配同胞供者的异基因骨髓移植(BMT)后生存情况的影响。我们分析的99例患者被分为高CD34(+)细胞剂量组(CD34(+)细胞≥2.5×10(6)/kg)和低CD34(+)细胞剂量组(CD34(+)细胞<2.5×10(6)/kg)。高CD34(+)细胞剂量组患者的总生存期更好(5年总生存率,75%±6%对52%±9%;P = 0.01),无白血病生存期也更好(5年无白血病生存率,70%±6%对44%±9%;P = 0.04)。CD34(+)细胞剂量是总生存期和无白血病生存期唯一的独立预后因素。高CD34(+)细胞剂量组的复发率较低,具有临界统计学意义(5年复发率,27%±6%对50%±10%;P = 0.09)。高、低CD34(+)细胞剂量组在中性粒细胞和血小板植入、II - IV级急性移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)、广泛期慢性GVHD以及移植相关死亡率方面无差异。我们证实,高CD34(+)细胞剂量对AML异基因BMT的治疗结果有积极影响。对于处于CR1的AML患者进行异基因BMT时,在骨髓采集过程中应努力获得高CD34(+)细胞剂量。
