Abstract:
:Steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a complication following an allogeneic stem cell transplantation with limited therapeutic options. Studies have shown a response in up to 80% of patients with this condition after treatment with the CD25 monoclonal antibody, basiliximab. Despite the good responses to treatment, around 50% of the patients experience recurrence of their GvHD symptoms 4-6 wk following cessation of therapy. The in vivo changes in the following treatment with this antibody have not been elucidated so far. We treated 14 patients with severe steroid-refractory GvHD with basiliximab weekly for 4 wk and monitored the changes in the T-, B-, NK- and dendritic cell subsets over this time period. The overall response to treatment was 92% (13/14) with 50% (7/14) achieving a complete response. Fifty four percentage (7/13) of the patients who responded showed recurrence of their GvHD symptoms. Contrary to expectations, our observations showed a significant depletion of the regulatory T-cell subset following treatment. Our findings suggest that the undesirable depletion of the regulatory T cells along with the CD25(+) acute inflammatory cells might be responsible for the high incidence of GvHD recurrence in this cohort of patients.
