Long-term survival of 116 leukemia/MDS patients received allo-SCT conditioned by a regimen with ATG-F or without ATG-F was analysed, together with the impact of ATG-F on the long-term survival, GVHD and disease relapse. Seventy patients received an ATG-F containing conditioning regimen FBCA, and 46 patients received a non-ATG-F FBC regimen. The FBCA regimen was associated with a 5-year survival of 65.4% in the complete HLA-matched group and 39.3% in the HLA-mismatched group. The difference between the two groups was significant (P = 0.012). For the FBC conditioning regimen, the 5-year overall survival of HLA-matched patients and the HLAmismatched patients was 34.2% and 24.2% respectively (P = 0.216). The incidence of cGVHD was 32.9% and 83.6% in the FBCA and FBC condition regimen group respectively. Only 2.9% of the cases showed extensive cGVHD in the FBCA group while it was 69.4% in the FBC group (P = 0.00). Multivariate analysis indicated that relapse was related to the disease status and HLA typing, but unrelated to the conditioning regimens whether or not ATG-F was used (HR 0.54, P = 0.109). We conclude that the addition of ATG-F to conditioning regimen favours the longterm survival of allo-SCT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
