The Efficacy And Safety Of Modified Immunosuppressive Therapy In Patients With Severe Aplastic Anemia And Transfusion-Dependent Non-Severe Aplastic Anemia: A Retrospective Cohort Study
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE(2021)
摘要
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined immunosuppressive therapy (IST) plus mesenchymal stromal cell infusion (MSCI) and/or umbilical cord blood infusion (UCBI) in severe aplastic anemia (SAA) or transfusion-dependent non-severe aplastic anemia (TD-NSAA) patients. A total of 79 patients with SAA or TD-NSAA were recruited as the study cohort and divided into the IST group (n=30), the IST+UCBI group (n=28), or the IST+UCBI+MSCI group (n=21) according to the treatment each patient underwent. The patients in the three groups were treated with intravenous rabbit antithymocyte globulin for 5 days and oral cyclosporine A (CsA). The patients in the IST+UCBI and IST+UCBI+MSCI groups were treated with an additional unrelated UCBI and/or MSCI. At 6 months post treatment, the overall response rate (ORR) in the IST+UCBI+MSCI group was higher compared with the ORR in the IST group (81.0% vs 50%, P=0.039). The IST+UCBI and IST+UCBI+MSCI groups achieved shorter median times to response (TTR) than the IST group did (84.2 days vs 145.5 days, P=0.010; 84.3 days vs 145.5 days, P=0.008, respectively). There were no significant differences in the incidences of relapse, serum sickness, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation, or serious infection in the three groups. The estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) and failure-free survival (FFS) did not differ in the three groups. A logistic regression analysis revealed that IST+UCBI+MSCI and very SAA (VSAA) can predict ORR. However, only the response to IST was found to be predictive of improved OS and FFS. These data suggest that IST+UCBI+MSCI achieves a higher ORR and a shorter TTR than IST and are well tolerated in SAA and TD-NSAA patients.
