Dose-reduced conditioning for allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation: durable engraftment without antithymocyte globulin
Between February 1998 and October 1999, 24 patients with advanced leukemia, lymphoma or solid tumors received G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) from HLA-matched sibling donors after dose-reduc...

Acute heart failure after allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation due to massive myocardial infiltration by cytotoxic T cells of donor origin
A 17-year-old male with AML FAB M4 relapsed 4 months after myeloablative conditioning and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from an HLA-identical unrelated donor. A second PBSC harvest was inf...

Graft clonogenicity and intensity of pre-treatment: factors affecting outcome of autologous peripheral hematopoietic cell transplantation in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first remission
A total of 22 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission receiving autologous blood stem cell transplantation (ABSCT) were investigated in order to determine factors affecting outco...

Reduced intensity conditioning allows for up-front allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after cytoreductive induction therapy in newly-diagnosed high-risk acute myeloid leukemia
There is substantial need to improve the outcome of patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The clinical trial reported here investigated a new approach of up-front allogeneic hematopoietic stem ...

Targeting mycophenolate mofetil for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis after allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation
As low trough levels of mycophenolic acid (MPA) have been measured in recipients of allo-SCTs, we performed a pilot study targeting mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) doses according to the MPA area under the concent...
