Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of interferon α after prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) among high-risk acute leukemia patients undergone unmanipulated blood and marrow transplantation. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective treatment option for high-risk acute leukemia (AL). However, post-transplant relapse can occur in some patients, and the prognosis of these patients is usually very poor.Prophylactic DLI can decrease the risk of relapse of high-risk AL patients. Interferon α-2b exerts a relatively strong immunomodulatory effect. It can kill AL cells by regulating T-cell and/or natural killer cell functions.Consequently, interferon α-2b may have potential value for high-risk AL patients after transplantation. The study hypothesis: Using interferon α-2b after prophylactic DLI following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with high-risk AL can further reduce relapse rate and improve leukemia-free survival.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Interferon Alfa-2b

High-risk acute leukemia patients receive prophylactic DLI at day 30-60 after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,they received interferon α-2b (subcutaneously at dosages of 3 million units 2-3 times per week) . Interferon treatment continues for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
