Abstract
To increase the stem cell content of T cell-depleted bone marrow transplants (BMT), we treated 12 patients with hematological malignancies with BMT from HLA-identical sibling donors given G-CSF 10 microg/kg/day for 5 days before marrow harvest. After CD34+ cell selection, patients received a median of 1.7 (range, 0.82-3.1) x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg and 2.3 (range, 0.25-4.0) x 10(5) CD3+ cells/kg. All patients had initial engraftment but four developed pancytopenia between days 55-130 post-BMT. In two patients, this required a second infusion of G-CSF-mobilized donor peripheral blood progenitor cells. We observed no delayed pancytopenia in a matched historical group of 24 patients receiving T cell-depleted BMT without prior G-CSF stimulation. Compared to this control group, G-CSF-stimulated marrow recipients showed a significant decline in neutrophil and monocyte counts after 8 weeks. However, outcome after BMT was otherwise comparable, with a similar incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease and transplant-related mortality. Disease-free survival was 63 vs 67% for controls matched for CD34+ cell dose (P = NS). These results indicate that G-CSF stimulation can increase the CD34+ cell content of T cell-depleted marrow but carries...Continue Reading
