Outline of Final Research Achievements

To improve the outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from haploidentical donor (haplo-HSCT) using alemtuzumab, we performed the consolidative donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) after haplo-HSCT and the identification of HLA haplotype of tumor cells at relapse after haplo-HSCT. In the former study, consolidative DLI was performed for the patients who underwent haplo-HSCT in non-remission, at first. However, through the retrospective study regarding haplo-HSCT, the consolidative DLI was considered to be most effective for the patients who underwent haplo-HSCT in hematological remission but the positive status of minimal residual disease. We changed the protocol, and are still continuing the study. In the latter study, we established the way of the identification of HLA haplotype of tumor cells. This study is also still continuing to evaluated the influence of the result on the treatment course after relapse.

造血幹細胞移植

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ハプロ移植の施行数は増加している。ハプロ移植の方法としてはドナー造血幹細胞輸注後に大量シクロホスファミドを投与するPTCY法が最も行われている。しかしこの方法では輸注後のサイトカイン放出症候群や心毒性の問題がある。アレムツズマブを移植前処置に用いる我々のハプロ移植ではこのような問題は生じない。しかし免疫抑制効果が高い分、再発リスクが高いことが問題となる。その問題を克服するための研究を施行し、まだ現在進行形ではあるが今後の研究の柱となるプロトコールや検査方法を確立した。さらに症例数を増やして有効性を示すことにより、安全で再発率も少ないハプロ移植方法の確立につながると考えている。
