Summary

This is a prospective single-arm clinical study to evaluate the role of NAC among patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) can promote hematopoietic recovery after haploidentical transplantation.

Detailed description

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an effective treatment of severe aplastic anemia (SAA). However, poor hematopoietic reconstitution including poor graft function (PGF) and prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia (PT), remains a life-threatening complication after allo-HSCT. Especially with the increasing use of haploidentical allo-HSCT (haplo-HSCT) in the past ten years, PGF and PT have become growing obstacles contributing to high morbidity and mortality after allo-HSCT. A previous clinical prospective cohort study showed that NAC could improve the function of bone marrow endothelial progenitor cells and promote hematopoietic recovery among leukemia patients after haploidentical transplantation. Therefore, we hypothesized that the prophylactic administration of NAC could facilitate the recovery of hematopoietic capacity by improving the bone marrow microenvironment of patients with SAA after haploidentical transplantation.

Conditions

• Aplastic Anemia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	N Acetyl L Cysteine	For subjects in the experimental intervention arm (NAC group), if the patients met the inclusion criteria on day 14 before conditioning, they received NAC from day 14 before conditioning until day +60 post-HSCT. The initial dose of NAC was 400mg orally three times daily (TID). In cases of grade 3 or worse AEs (not including hematologic recovery), dose modifications including dose reductions or interruptions were permitted at the physician's discretion. After the resolution of AEs, the dose was re-escalated from to 400mg TID.
