摘要

Rapid tapering of cyclosporine (CsA) in the early phase after allogeneic transplantation may induce a potent graft-versus-leukemia/lymphoma (GVL) effect. We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of patients with high-risk hematological malignancies who underwent their first transplantation at our institution. The blood CsA concentration was maintained at around 300 ng/ml. Our planned schedule for tapering CsA in patients without graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or with limited GVHD was to reduce the dose by 10% per week starting from day 30 for related HSCT or from day 50 for unrelated HSCT. In total, we began tapering CsA in 36, and classified them into 2 an “On-schedule group” or “Delayed group” based on the timing of starting tapering. The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV acute GVHD overall were 33.8% and 39.4% (P = 0.746) in the On-schedule and Delayed groups. The On-schedule group showed no significant difference in non-relapse mortality, but showed a trend toward a higher relapse rate, resulting in significantly worse overall survival (55.6% vs 72.2% at 1y, P = 0.025) and worse disease-free survival (38.9% vs 66.7% at 1y, P = 0.059). These findings suggest that early CsA tapering after HSCT in high-risk patients was not effective.
