Brief summary
This randomized trial aims at validating the efficacy and safety of low-dose decitabine for PGF post allo-HSCT.
Detailed description
Poor graft function (PGF), defined by the presence of multilineage cytopenias in the presence of 100% donor chimerism, is a serious complication of allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT). Emerging evidence demonstrates that the inadequate stem cells infusion, bone marrow microenvironment and immune dysregulation play a crucial role in maintaining and regulating hematopoiesis. Current therapies remain debatable, including selected CD34+ cells infusion, mesenchymal stromal cells infusion, prophylactic N-acetyl cysteine administration, etc. Thereafter, the investigators conduct a randomized trial aiming at validating the efficacy and safety of low-dose decitabine in PGF post allo-HSCT patients.
Interventions
Decitabine 6 mg/m2 daily subcutaneously for consecutive 3 days (day 1 to day 3)
5ug/kg/d when absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1.5 × 109/L
Eltrombopag initial dose: 25 mg orally once a day, may increase to up to 75 mg/day, when platelet count ≤ 30 × 109/L; Avatrombopag initial dose: 20 mg orally once a day, may increase to up to 60 mg/day, when platelet count ≤ 30 × 109/L.
10000 U/day when hemoglobin ≤ 85 g/L
