Efficacy of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin in severe aplastic anemia.
BACKGROUND A combination of horse anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclosporine produces responses in 60-70% of patients with severe aplastic anemia. We performed a phase II study of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclosporine as first-line therapy for severe aplastic anemia. DESIGN AND METHODS Twenty patients with severe aplastic anemia treated with rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin were compare...
متن کامل[Efficacy of anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclosporin A combined therapy in aplastic anemia complicated with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis].
We reported here on a case of limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) with aplastic anemia treated by anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclosporin A. The use of this therapy resulted not only in marrow recovery but also in resolution of the skin sclerosis. A 68 year-old woman was diagnosed as lcSSc accompanied by Hashimoto's thyroiditis and primary biliary cirrhosis. Treatment by D-penicillamin...
متن کاملTherapy of severe aplastic anemia with anti-human thymocyte globulin and androgens: the effect of HLA-haploidentical marrow infusion.
Fifty-four patients with severe aplastic anemia were treated with horse anti-human thymocyte globulin (ATG) and androgens. Thirty of these patients also received an infusion of HLA-haploidentical marrow cells. Only those patients having evidence of hematologic recovery within 3 mo after ATG therapy were considered responders to the immunosuppressive regimen. Of 53 patients evaluable for respons...
متن کاملParoxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria clones in severe aplastic anemia patients treated with horse anti-thymocyte globulin plus cyclosporine.
BACKGROUND Clones of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor protein-deficient cells are characteristic in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and are present in about 40-50% of patients with severe aplastic anemia. Flow cytometry has allowed for sensitive and precise measurement of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor protein-deficient red blood cells and neutrophils in severe aplastic anemia. DE...
متن کاملTherapy of severe aplastic anemia with anti-human thymocyte globulin (ATGAM) with and without HLA-haploidentical bone-marrow infusion.
Six patients with severe aplastic anemia treated with horse anti-human thymocyte globulin (ATG) and androgen. Four of these patients were only given ATG (ATGAMR), 16 mg/Kg/dose x 10 doses. The remaining two cases received an infusion of maternal HLA-haploidentical marrow cells following ATG therapy. One patient had a complete response, three had a partial response, one showed minimal improvemen...
