Reduced immunosuppression may improve immune recovery and increase the graft-versus-leukemia effect after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Furthermore, the requirement for post-transplant immunosuppression following extensive T-cell depletion remains unclear. We therefore evaluated the role of cyclosporine (CSA) in recipients of HLA-identical T-cell-depleted peripheral blood stem cell transplants (PBSCT), followed by donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) scheduled on days+ 45 and+ 100. Before day+ 45, successive cohorts of patients received decreasing amounts of CSA: standard-dose (SD) CSA, low-dose (LD) CSA, or no CSA until day+ 45. LD CSA was as effective as SD CSA in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, moderate-to-severe acute GVHD was significantly more frequent before the day+ 45 DLI in patients receiving no CSA (33.3 vs 12.7%, P= 0.036, including the only four grade III–IV cases). As a result of higher rates of early acute GVHD, more patients in the ‘no CSA’group failed to receive any DLI (30.7 vs 7.1%, P= 0.01). Overall, there was no difference in the incidence of acute GVHD, as patients receiving CSA developed more GVHD after DLI. Similarly, no significant differences were found in chronic GVHD, transplant-related mortality, or survival. These results define a role for CSA in preventing GVHD at low T-cell doses following PBSCT.
