A total of 81 severe aplastic anaemia patients, aged 2-63 years, received human leucocyte antigen-matched related marrow grafts after cyclophosphamide + antithymocyte globulin followed by postgrafting methotrexate + ciclosporin. Median follow-up was 9.2 years. Ninety-six per cent of patients had sustained engraftment, 24% developed acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), grade 11 in all but two patients, and 26% developed chronic GVHD; all surviving patients eventually responded to immunosuppressive therapy. Six patients developed cancer: one fatal lymphoma and five carcinomas (all five patients are now free of cancer). Survival was 88%. The regimen appeared well tolerated and effective in heavily pretreated patients with aplastic anaemia.
