The safety and efficacy of myeloablative therapy followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (ABSCT) for @entity3052 ( @entity3052 ) were evaluated in 60 @entity1 . Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) were collected during recovery after consolidation chemotherapy. High-dose chemotherapy consisting of @entity1863 (16 mg/kg), @entity2879 (40 mg/kg), and @entity2592 (3 g/m2 x 4) (BEA regimen) was used for pretransplant conditioning in 13 @entity1 . For the remaining 47 @entity1 , @entity1261 ( @entity1261 ) was administered concurrently with the BEA regimen during conditioning. Unpurged, cryopreserved PBSC containing a median number of 5.4 x 10(8) MNC/kg or 12 x 10(4) CFU-GM/kg were reinfused at transplantation. The median number of days to granulocytes exceeding 500/microl and last platelet transfusion were 15 (8-44) and 24 (0->180), respectively. The 3-year probabilities of disease-free survival (DFS) and relapse were 78.6 and 21.4% for @entity1 transplanted in first remission, 29.6 and 64.4% for those in second or third remission, and 11.1 and 77.8% for those in relapse, respectively. There were no transplant-related @entity204 within 100 days of transplantation. Age, disease status at transplantation, and number of induction chemotherapies to first complete remission were risk factors affecting the outcome of ABSCT. These results of ABSCT for @entity3052 in first remission warrant a prospective study of ABSCT as post-remission therapy.
