T-cell depletion of donor marrow decreases graft-versus-host
disease resulting from transplants from unrelated and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched related donors. However, there are diverse strategies for T-cell-depleted transplantation, and it is uncertain whether any improve leukemia-free survival (LFS). To compare strategies for T-cell-depleted alternative donor transplants and to compare T-cell depleted with non-T-cell-depleted transplants, we studied 870 patients with leukemia who received T-cell-depleted transplants from
unrelated or HLA-mismatched related donors from 1982 to 1994. Outcomes
were compared with those of 998 non-T-cell-depleted transplants. We
compared LFS using different strategies for T-cell-depleted transplantation considering T-cell depletion technique, intensity of
pretransplant conditioning, and posttransplant immune
suppression using proportional hazards regression to adjust for other
prognostic variables. Five categories of T-cell depletion techniques
were considered: narrow-specificity antibodies, broad-specificity
antibodies, Campath antibodies, elutriation, and lectins. Strategies
resulting in similar LFS were pooled to compare T-cell-depleted with
non-T-cell-depleted transplants. Recipients of transplants T-cell
depleted by narrow-specificity antibodies had lower treatment failure
risk (higher LFS) than recipients of transplants T-cell depleted by
other techniques. Compared with non-T-cell-depleted transplants
(5-year probability ± 95% confidence interval [CI] of LFS, 31% ± 4%), 5-year LFS was 29% ± 5% (P = NS) after
transplants T-cell depleted by narrow-specificity antibodies and
16% ± 4% (P < .0001) after transplants T-cell
depleted by other techniques. After alternative donor transplantation, T-cell depletion of donor marrow by narrow-specificity antibodies resulted in LFS rates that were higher than those for transplants T-cell depleted using other techniques but similar to those for non-T-cell-depleted transplants.
