Abstract
Introduction
We developed a 2 step approach to HI HSCT in which a fixed dose of allogeneic T cells are infused after reduced intensity (RIC) or myeloablative conditioning (HSCT step 1). After 2-3 days, cyclophosphamide (CY) 60 mg/kg/d x 2 is given to establish bidirectional tolerance. One day after the CY, a CD 34 selected stem cell product is infused (HSCT step 2).
This approach has been associated with a low incidence of non-relapse mortality (NRM) resulting in a significant improvement in overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) undergoing HI HSCT at our institution. This abstract examined the predictability of this tool in pts undergoing the 2 step HI HSCT.
