Mafosfamide is presently used for the purging of bone marrow in autologous bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of acute leukemia. We studied the SCE-inducing effect of mafosfamide on leukemic cells of Philadelphia (Ph)-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) as a model for leukemic cells. Corresponding data from normal bone marrow were analyzed for comparison. A positive linear correlation (r = 0.99, P = 0.0005) was found between the dose of mafosfamide and induced SCE in Ph-positive CML and normal bone marrow. The concentration of mafosfamide used was 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 micrograms/ml. Additionally, we analyzed five cases of CML and six cases of normal bone marrow. A significant difference in the frequency of induced SCE/metaphase was found between CML and normal bone marrow even after addition of 0.8 micrograms/ml mafosfamide. Also, spontaneous SCE was significantly lower in CML. Our data indicate a lower sensitivity of the leukemic cells to mafosfamide as shown by the induction of a lower frequency of SCE events.</p>","PeriodicalId":12936,"journal":{"name":"Haematology and blood transfusion","volume":"33 ","pages":"133-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13473071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We treated 22 patients with various solid tumors and lymphoid neoplasias with a single daily subcutaneous dose of GM-CSF (250 micrograms/m2) 48 h after a second cycle of highly myelotoxic chemotherapy for a period of 10 days and compared intraindividually neutropenia-related clinical and laboratory variables with data obtained from the same patients having previously received a first neutropenia-inducing cycle of identical chemotherapy in the absence of GM-CSF. We show that GM-CSF is active in neutropenic patients by significantly increasing the neutrophil nadir, reducing the time of relevant neutropenia, and reducing the duration of the patient's hospital stay and necessity for parenteral antibiotics.
