Haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in adults using CD3/CD19 depletion and reduced intensity conditioning: a phase II study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We report a prospective multicenter phase II study of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using CD3/CD19-depleted grafts after reduced intensity conditioning with fludarabine, thiotepa, melphalan and OKT-3.

Design and methods

Sixty-one adults with a median age of 46 years (range 19-65 years) have been enrolled. Diagnoses were acute myeloid leukemia (n=38), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n=8), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n=6), myeloma (n=4), chronic myeloid leukemia (n=3), chronic lymphatic leukemia (n=1) and myelodysplastic syndrome (n=1). Patients were considered high risk because of refractory disease (n=18), cytogenetics (n=6), complete remission (≥ 2) (n=9), chemosensitive relapse in partial remission (n=4) or relapse after prior hematopoietic st
