Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis using methotrexate (23 patients) and T-cell depletion of the graft (40 patients) was compared in 63 allogeneic bone marrow transplantations (BMT) for leukaemia. T-cell depletion significantly reduced (p = 0.001) the incidence of GvHD from 68% to 11% and the GvHD-associated mortality from 79% to 5%. Actuarial disease-free survival for low-risk patients (57% with T-cell depletion and 47% with MTX) was not significantly improved, due to graft failure and possibly due to a higher leukaemic relapse rate after T-cell depletion. Prevention of graft failure after T cell-depleted BMT is essential and could also reduce the risk of leukaemic relapse by improved engraftment.
在63例白血病异基因骨髓移植(BMT)中,对比了使用甲氨蝶呤预防移植物抗宿主病(GvHD)(23例患者)和对移植物进行T细胞去除(40例患者)的效果。T细胞去除显著降低了(p = 0.001)GvHD的发生率,从68%降至11%,并将GvHD相关死亡率从79%降至5%。低风险患者的无病生存率(T细胞去除组为57%,甲氨蝶呤组为47%)未得到显著改善,这是由于移植物失败,也可能是因为T细胞去除后白血病复发率较高。在T细胞去除的BMT后预防移植物失败至关重要,并且通过改善植入还可以降低白血病复发的风险。
