Long-Term Follow-up of the Randomized Controlled Study in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Severe Aplastic Anemia Treated with ATG, Cyclosporine, with or without G-CSF: On Behalf of the SAA Working Party of the EBMT
Conclusion:Long-term outcome of SAA patients treated with ATG/CSA was not influenced by supplementing G-CSF in term of OS, EFS, death rates, relapse, PNH, secondary MDS/AML, solid cancer and non-malignant late complications. Due to the pre-cancer nature of the disease and its long-lasting treatment, patients treated with IST are at risk for a number of malignant and non-malignant late complications. It is somewhat disappointing that in this careful followed cohort less than 25% of patients are alive and event-free 10-15 years after initial treatment.DisclosuresPeffault De Latour: Pfizer Inc.: Consultancy, Honoraria, Research Funding; Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: Consultancy, Honoraria, Research Funding; Amgen Inc.: Research Funding; Novartis: Consultancy, Honoraria, Research Funding.
