Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Determine toxicity and efficacy of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) who are dependent on intravenous immunoglobulins or plasmapheresis. METHODS:Unselected peripheral blood stem cells were re-infused on day 0 after conditioning with cyclophosphamide 200 mg/kg/intravenously (IV), rATG (thymoglobulin) 5.5 mg/kg/IV, and rituximab 1000 mg/IV. RESULTS:Sixty-six patients underwent HSCT for CIDP. Data on sixty patients with a mean follow-up of 4.5 years (range 2-5 years) were available for analysis. There were no treatment-related deaths, and overall survival was 97%. Post-transplant immune medication-free remission was 80%, 78%, 76% 78%, and 83% at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years. Ambulation without assistance improved from 33% pre-HSCT to 82% 82%, 81%, 86%, and 83% at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years, respectively. Mean right/left hand grip strength (kg) improved significantly (all p values < 0.01) from 18.1/16.5 pre-HSCT to 26.3/25.4, 29.2/28.2, 28.8/28.6, 30.3/25.5, and 30.8/29.1 at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years, respectively. Average nerve conduction velocity (NCV) (m/s) improved significantly (all p values ≤ 0.001) from a mean of 27.2 pre-HSCT to 33.5, 33.8, 37.7, 38.2, and 38.3 at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years, respectively. Average compound motor action potential (CMAP) (mv) improved significantly (p values ≤ 0.001) from a mean of 3.6 pre-HSCT to 4.6, 4.6, 5.0, 5.1, and 4.1 at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years, respectively. CONCLUSION:A randomized trial is indicated to verify these results and confirm that HSCT reverses disability and offers long-term immune therapy independence.
