Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a single-center, one-arm, prospective, phase II clinical trial with the primary objective of assessing the effectiveness of azacitidine combined with interferon in the prevention of recurrence after allogeneic transplantation of myeloid tumors (AML/MDS/MPN) in the blood system. Sex and safety.

At the screening/baseline period, informed consent is obtained and the inclusion/exclusion criteria are checked. Plan to enroll 30 patients, and collect demographic data, medical history data, vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests (hematuria, liver and kidney function; immune indicators: T cell subsets, Treg, etc.), pregnancy test for female patients And other necessary auxiliary inspections.

The time to start treatment is: a decrease in chimerism and/or minimal residual disease (MRD) after myeloid tumor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Description:

Treatment programs:

1. Basic protocol: Azacitidine is administered subcutaneously at 32 mg/m2/d for 5 consecutive days; α-interferon treatment started on day 8 for 3 weeks; 4-6 weeks/treatment with long-acting interferon Gebin). 1-1.5 million U / kg, once a week; or ordinary alpha-interferon, 200 acres / square meter / d (total ≥ 300MU / d), 5-7 days a week;

2. Start time of medication:

1 In the absence of immunosuppressive agents such as cyclosporine, the chimeric rate is decreased and/or MRD-positive: or in the case of immunosuppressive agents such as cyclosporine, the chimeric rate is fully chimeric and MRD-positive: A-interferon is first administered. Single-agent intervention, if there was no significant decrease in MRD for 2 consecutive courses (MRD decreased ≤ 50%), azacitidine combined with interferon intervention was started; 2 In the case of calmodulin immunosuppressant (cyclosporine or tacrolimus), the chimeric rate decreased and the MRD was negative, the immunosuppressant was rapidly reduced or discontinued, and the bone marrow was reviewed 2 weeks, if the chimeric rate did not rise. (decreased or stable), or after two consecutive immunosuppressive adjustments did not reach complete chimerism, start azacitidine combined with interferon intervention; (3) If cyclosporine or other immunosuppressive agents are applied before the start of the study, rapid reduction; dose reduction 1 / 4-1 / 2; if the chimeric rate increases or GVHD occurs, continue the immunosuppressant adjustment strategy; (4) Stop treatment: acute GVHD above II degree; patients are intolerant to the study protocol; basic regimen is ineffective after 2 courses of treatment (chimeric rate continues to decline or MRD continues to increase) or disease recurrence; transplant.
