- early reduction
- description
- Usually in the absence of GvHD, immunosuppressive drugs(Cyclosporine) were gradually reduced by 6 weeks and discontinued in three months after transplant in the advanced patients while immunosuppressive agents were gradually reduced by 2 months and discontinued in four months after transplant in the advanced patients in haploidentical SCT even if complete donor chimerism (CDC) achieved. If donor chimerism had not achieved CDC with no significant acute GVHD at four weeks after HSCT, immunosuppressive agents were gradually reduced. If GvHD was present during the time of immunosuppressive agents reduction, CsA was added again and tapering was done over longer periods.

Inclusion Criteria: - According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification,patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia were enrolled in this study. Performance status scores no more than 2 (ECOG criteria). Adequate organ function as defined by the following criteria: alanine transaminase （ALT）, aspartate transaminase（AST） and total serum bilirubin \<2×ULN (upper limit of normal) Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) \<1.25×ULN. Adequate cardiac function without acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmia or atrioventricular block, heart failure, active rheumatic heart disease and cardiac dilatation(the patients has been improved after treatment of the disease and are not expected to affect transplant can include in the study). Absence of any other contraindications of stem cell transplantation. Willingness and ability to perform HSCT. Signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the patient (or legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial prior to enrollment. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: Presence of any condition inappropriate for HSCT. Life expectancy \< 3 months because of other severe diseases. Presence of any fatal disease, including respiratory failure, heart failure, liver or kidney function failure et al. Uncontrolled infection. Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Has enrolled in anther clinical trials Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and in the judgment of the investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
