ABSTRACT

Background In recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplants,peripheral-blood cells mobilized with the use of filgrastim(recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) engraftmore rapidly than bone marrow. However, the relative effectsof these techniques on the rates of acute and chronic graft-versus-hostdisease, overall survival, and disease-free survival have notbeen determined in randomized studies.

Methods Between March 1996 and July 1999, 172 patients (12 to55 years of age) with hematologic cancer were randomly assignedto receive either bone marrow or filgrastim-mobilized peripheral-bloodcells from HLA-identical relatives for hematopoietic rescueafter the treatment of hematologic cancer with high doses ofchemotherapy, with or without radiation.

Results The recovery of both neutrophils and platelets was fasterwith peripheral-blood cells than with marrow (P<0.001 forboth comparisons). The cumulative incidence of grade II, III,or IV acute graft-versus-host disease at 100 days was 64 percentwith peripheral-blood cells and 57 percent with marrow (hazardratio, 1.21; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.81 to 1.81; P=0.35).The cumulative incidence of chronic graft-versus-host diseasewas 46 percent with peripheral-blood cells and 35 percent withmarrow (hazard ratio, 1.16; 95 percent confidence interval,0.71 to 1.90; P= 0.54). The estimated overall probability ofsurvival at two years was 66 percent with peripheral-blood cellsand 54 percent with marrow (hazard ratio for death, 0.62; 95percent confidence interval, 0.38 to 1.02; P= 0.06). The rateof disease-free survival at two years was 65 percent with peripheral-bloodcells and 45 percent with marrow (hazard ratio for relapse ordeath, 0.60; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.38 to 0.95; P=0.03).

Conclusions In patients given high-dose chemotherapy, with orwithout radiation, for the treatment of hematologic cancer,allogeneic peripheral-blood cells used for hematopoietic rescuerestore blood counts faster than allogeneic bone marrow, withoutincreasing the risk of graft-versus-host disease.
