To explore the impact of prior-to-transplantation induction therapy (IT) on patient outcome after allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) for higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
A total of 49 consecutive patients underwent Allo-HSCT for MDS between November 2002 and December 2012. Twenty-six lower-risk MDS cases received supportive therapy (ST). And 17/23 cases of higher-risk MDS received IT prior to transplantation while another 6 only with ST. Their survival, relapse rate and incidence of transplantation-related mortality (TRM) were retrospectively analyzed according to International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) scores and marrow blast count.
The 5-year cumulative overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), relapse rate and incidence of transplantation related mortality (TRM) were 59.9%, 59.2%, 10.5% and 31.8% during a median follow-up period of 24.4 (6.2-72.0) months. The OS and DFS of higher-risk group with IT, ST and lower-risk group were different (72.1% vs 16.7% vs 68.1%, P = 0.028; 72.1% vs 16.7% vs 67.9%, P = 0.030). And the OS and DFS of higher-risk group with IT were similar to those of lower-risk group (P = 0.526,0.504) . For the higher-risk group, the patients on IT had improved survival than those on ST in terms of OS and DFS (both P = 0.020). Moreover, the OS and DFS of remission group were higher than non-remission group in patients on IT (both 100% vs 46.7%, P = 0.049). The number of marrow blasts significantly decreased after IT (P = 0.010) without increased TRM (28.9% vs 33.6%, P = 0.612).
Induction therapy prior to Allo-HSCT for MDS may reduce clone burden and improve the outcomes of higher-risk MDS without increased TRM.
探讨移植前诱导治疗(IT)对高危骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)患者异基因造血干细胞移植(Allo-HSCT)后结局的影响。
2002年11月至2012年12月期间,共有49例连续性MDS患者接受了Allo-HSCT。26例低危MDS患者接受支持治疗(ST)。23例高危MDS患者中,17例在移植前接受了IT治疗,另外6例仅接受ST治疗。根据国际预后评分系统(IPSS)评分和骨髓原始细胞计数,对他们的生存率、复发率和移植相关死亡率(TRM)进行回顾性分析。
在中位随访期24.4(6.2 - 72.0)个月期间,5年累积总生存率(OS)、无病生存率(DFS)、复发率和移植相关死亡率分别为59.9%、59.2%、10.5%和31.8%。接受IT、ST治疗的高危组和低危组的OS和DFS存在差异(72.1%对16.7%对68.1%,P = 0.028;72.1%对16.7%对67.9%,P = 0.030)。接受IT治疗的高危组的OS和DFS与低危组相似(P = 0.526,0.504)。对于高危组,接受IT治疗的患者在OS和DFS方面的生存率高于接受ST治疗的患者(均P = 0.020)。此外,接受IT治疗的患者中,缓解组的OS和DFS高于未缓解组(均为100%对46.7%,P = 0.049)。IT治疗后骨髓原始细胞数量显著减少(P = 0.010),且TRM未增加(28.9%对33.6%,P = 0.612)。
MDS患者Allo-HSCT前的诱导治疗可能降低克隆负荷,改善高危MDS的结局,且不增加TRM。
