Özet
Endothelial dysfunction and damage play important roles in the pathophysiology of graft versus host disease (GvHD) and hepatic venoocclusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS). Preliminary evidence suggests that defibrotide (DF) may decrease the risk of GvHD. We speculated that DF prophylaxis may have a synergistic effect with other immunosupressive agents by decreasing the incidence of GvHD and retrospectively evaluated the impact of a DF prophylaxis on the development of GvHD. Thirty-eight adult patients with various hematological neoplasms who underwent peripheral blood allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from all donor types were included. All patients received DF for prevention of VOD/SOS. GvHD prophylaxis included rabbit anti-T lymphocyte globulin (rATLG), posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and cyclosporine (CsA). The median follow-up of the surviving patients was 484 (365-814) days. The cumulative incidence of grade III-IV acute GvHD and moderate/severe chronic GvHD requiring systemic immunosupression at 1 year were 20.6 % and 5.3 %, respectively. Non-relapse mortality, GvHD-relapse-free survival, and overall survival of the study cohort at 1-year were 21.1 %, 44.7 % and 57.9 %, respectively. Our preliminary results suggest that DF may act as a global endothelial protectant and decrease the risk of GvHD in combination with rATLG, PTCy and CsA.
