Essen, Germany.
Outcomes after peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
(PBSCT) for chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (n = 37)
were compared with outcomes after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) (n = 54) in the HLA-compatible unrelated donor setting. Median follow-up was 17 months after PBSCT and 29 months after BMT. Both neutrophil and platelet recovery were faster after PBSCT
(P < .05). PBSCT was associated with improved immune
reconstitution, with higher peripheral blood naive
(CD4+CD45RA+) and memory
(CD4+ CD45RO+) helper T cells at 3 months and
12 months after transplantation (P < .03). The
cumulative incidence of acute (grades II-IV) and chronic
graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were similar, but BMT was associated
with a higher cumulative incidence of severe, acute (grade III-IV) GVHD
at 24% as compared with 8% with PBSCT (P < .05).
Molecular relapse, defined by 2 consecutive positive polymerase chain
reaction assays for bcr-abl within a 4-week interval, occurred in 12 of
45 evaluable patients (27%) after BMT and in 4 of 37 (11%) after
PBSCT (not significant). Cytogenetic relapse occurred in 5 of 54 patients after BMT (9%) and in 1 of the 37 (3%) patients after PBSCT
(not significant). Seventeen of the 54 patients died after BMT (31%),
as compared with 2 of 37 patients after PBSCT (5%). Deaths in the BMT
group were associated mainly with infections and severe, acute GVHD.
The estimated probability of transplant-related mortality (TRM) and
disease-free survival at 1000 days after receiving the transplant were
30% and 64% in the BMT group and 5% and 91% in the PBSCT group
(P < .03). Overall survival 1000 days after receiving
the transplant was 66% after BMT and 94% after PBSCT (P < .02). In the multivariate analysis, only acute GVHD
significantly influenced TRM (P < .01).
