Bone Marrow GvHD after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
The bone marrow is the origin of all hematopoietic lineages and an important homing site for memory cells of the adaptive immune system. It has recently emerged as a graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) target organ after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT), marked by depletion of both hematopoietic progenitors and niche-forming cells. Serious effects on the restoration of hematopoietic...
متن کاملRituximab prophylaxis prevents corticosteroid-requiring chronic GVHD after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation: results of a phase 2 trial.
B cells are implicated in the pathophysiology of chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD), and phase 2 trials suggest that B cell depletion can treat established chronic GVHD. We hypothesized that posttransplantation B cell depletion could prevent the occurrence of chronic GVHD. We performed a 65-patient phase 2 trial of rituximab (375 mg/m(2) IV), administered at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after trans...
متن کاملImpact on early outcomes and immune reconstitution of high-dose post-transplant cyclophosphamide vs anti-thymocyte globulin after reduced intensity conditioning peripheral blood stem cell allogeneic transplantation
We have compared prospectively the outcome and immune reconstitution of patients receiving either post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) (n = 30) or anti-thymocyte globulin ATG (n = 15) as Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation (allo-SCT). The outcome and immune reconstitution of patie...
متن کاملBreakthrough zygomycosis on posaconazole prophylaxis after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
Antifungal prophylaxis with posaconazole (POS) has been shown to decrease the mortality associated with invasive fungal infections in high-risk patients. We report on a patient, with severe graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, who developed proven pneumonia due to Rhizopus microsporus after 40 days of POS prophylaxis (fasting serum levels: 691-904 ng/mL). Despit...
متن کاملAllogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation after failed autologous transplant for lymphoma using total lymphoid irradiation and anti-thymocyte globulin conditioning
We describe 47 patients with lymphoma and failed prior autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) who received TLI-ATG conditioning followed by allogeneic HCT. Thirtytwo patients had non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL; diffuse large B cell lymphoma [n=19], T-cell NHL [n=6], mantle cell lymphoma [n= 4], or other B-cell subtypes [n=3]), and 15 had Hodgkin lymphoma. The median follow-up was 4.9 (r...
