Editor's Notes

  • #12 Given these changes, the purpose of the current studies is to evaluate if the results found in the setting of MAC regimen could be applied in the setting of RIC;
  • #13 Actually, the heterogeneity in terms of disease, donor, conditioning regimen and gvhd prophylaxies could explain in part these discordant results. Moreover the optimal cut off for high doses of cd34 is not well defined.
  • #14 The objectif of our study was to evaluate the impact of cd34 and cd3 cell dose on the outcomes after RIC allotransplantation in a population as homogeneous as possible, in order to overcome the effects of the transplatation procedure.
  • #15 To answer this question we conducted a retrospective study between 2005 and 2013; Our selection criteria were All Hematological malignancies indicated for Allo-HSCT with peripheral blood stem cell. HLA identical donor that is to say : matched related or unrelated donors 3) Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen, with 5days of fludarabine, 2 days of busilvex, and 2 days of rabbit ATG thymoglobuline r; 4) Ciclosporine A alone as GVHD prophylaxis
  • #16 We can notice that Only 18% of these patients had a low Disease Risk Index and 46% had an Comorbidity index more than 3.
  • #17 When adjusted by the confounding factors, the multivariate model confirms the absence of impact of high doses cd34 cells.
  • #18 As exemple in picture, you can see that in contrast with the previous results in MAC, there was no significant difference in terms of extensive chronic GVHD;
  • #19 Also, we use the multivariate cox model and we didn’t find any difference.
  • #20 To conclude, we found no impact of the CD34 and CD3 cell dose on the outcomes after allotransplantation in the contexte of RIC with ATG, HLA identical donor and Csa as GVHD prophylaxis. This absence of impact may be due to the use of ATG which could explain the differences between MAC and RIC regimen. Thus, we supposed that, in the latter situation, there is no rational for limiting the maximal amount of CD34+ or CD3+ cell dose in PBSC graft. Although our study consisted of a large and homeneous cohort, it was a retrospective analysis. So, This results deserve to be validated on prospective well conducted trial.
