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...

Expression of FLIPLong and FLIPShort in bone marrow mononuclear and CD34+ cells in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome: correlation with apoptosis
Several apoptosis-inducing systems, including Fas/Fas ligand and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its receptors, are upregulated in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). FLIP (FLICE (FAS-associated ...

P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux is a resistance mechanism of chronic myelogenous leukemia cells to treatment with imatinib mesylate
Imatinib (Glivec®, STI571) is an intracellular acting drug that demonstrates high activity against BCR-ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, many patients...

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...

AraU accumulation in patients with renal insufficiency as a potential mechanism for cytarabine neurotoxicity
Neurotoxicity of cytarabine (AraC) is believed to be related to renal insufficiency. We examined the plasma pharmacokinetics of AraC and its deamination product uracil arabinoside (AraU) in four patients with ...
