Donor lymphocyte infusion for relapsed chronic myelogenous leukemia: prognostic relevance of the initial cell dose

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The results suggest that the first DLI dose should not exceed 0.2 x 10(8) mononuclear cells/kg, and lower ICD was associated with less GVHD, less myelosuppression, same response rate, better survival, better failure-free survival, and less DLI-related mortality.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia

TL;DR: Imatinib, an inhibitor of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, has revolutionised treatment of this disease, and is now recommended as standard treatment for chronic-phase CML.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graft-versus-leukemia effects of transplantation and donor lymphocytes

TL;DR: It is learned from adoptive immunotherapy of viral diseases and HLA-haploidentical stem cell transplantation that T-cell memory may be essential for the effective treatment of leukemia and other malignancies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graft-versus-leukemia reactions in allogeneic chimeras

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the GVL effect of DLT is most effective in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), whereas it is less pronounced in acute leukemia and myeloma, and new approaches for adoptive immune therapy of leukemia, which promise a better prognosis for these patients are being developed.

Sequential Regimen of Chemotherapy, Reduced-Intensity Conditioning for Allogeneic Stem-Cell Transplantation, and Prophylactic Donor Lymphocyte Transfusion in High-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome

TL;DR: Outcome of patients with refractory disease or with complex cytogenetic aberrations was identical to that of better prognostic subgroups, and Sequential use of intensive chemotherapy, RIC transplantation, and pDLT represents a promising approach to the treatment of high-risk AML and MDS.

Clinical manifestations of graft-versus-host disease in human recipients of marrow from HL-A-matched sibling donors.

TL;DR: The results show that despite histocompatibility matching and methotrexate therapy, GVHD remains a serious and often fatal complication of marrow transplantation.

Graft-Versus-Leukemia Effect of Donor Lymphocyte Transfusions in Marrow Grafted Patients

TL;DR: Donor lymphocyte transfusions exert strong effects against myeloid forms of leukemia and induce durable remissions in CML.

Donor Leukocyte Transfusions for Treatment of Recurrent Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Marrow Transplant Patients

TL;DR: Three patients with hematologic relapse after bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia were treated with interferon alpha and transfusion of viable donor buffy coat and had complete hematological and cytogenetic remission, which persisted 32 to 91 weeks after treatment, an example of adoptive immunotherapy without cytoreductive chemotherapy or radiotherapy in human chimeras.

Donor leukocyte infusions in 140 patients with relapsed malignancy after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

TL;DR: DLI results in complete remissions in a high percentage of patients with relapsed chronic-phase CML, and acute and chronic GVHD post-DLI were highly correlated with disease response (P < .00001).
