A comparative study of porcine antihuman lymphocyte globulin versus antithymocyte globulin-fresenius in an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation conditioning regimen for severe aplastic anemia

OBJECTIVES: To compare the outcomes of antihuman T lymphocyte globulin (ATG-F) and porcine antihuman lymphocyte globulin (p-ALG) as part of a conditioning regimen in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for severe aplastic anemia (SAA).

METHODS: we performed a retrospective analysis, evaluating the outcome of patients with SAA who received ATG-F based conditioning (n = 26) with those receiving p-ALG conditioning (n = 34).

RESULTS: The median time to neutrophil engraftment was 11 days (range, 8 - 38) and 11 days (range, 9 - 24) in the p-ALG and ATG-F groups (P = 0.857); the median platelet engraftment time was 15 (range, 9 - 330) days and 13 (range, 10 - 56) days (P = 0.155). There were no significant differences in grades II - IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), grades III - IV aGVHD, chronic GVHD (cGVHD), and the moderate-severe cGVHD between the ATG-F and p-ALG groups (P>0.05).

DISCUSSION: Patients in the ATG-F group functioned significantly better on role-physical (P = 0.006), general health (P = 0.029), and physical component summary (P = 0.009). The estimated overall survival and failure free survival rates at 5 years were 88.5% ± 6.3% vs. 82.4% ± 6.5% (P = 0.515), 84.6% ± 7.1% vs. 79.4% ± 6.9%, respectively (P = 0.579). The infection rates were 61.53% and 47.05%, respectively (P = 0.265).

CONCLUSION: As part of the conditioning regimen, p-ALG achieved a similar efficacy as ATG-F without increasing the incidence of transplantation complications in SAA patients.
