- Managing variability in control programs often requires code duplication or that all variants are anticipated in advance. In this paper, we present a new approach to obtaining modular functionality reuse across variants. Using the language mechanisms diagram inheritance and connection interception, a feature model and an interactive feature-selection wizard can be automatically derived from the control program.

- Purpose Nucleated cell dose is an important and modifiable factor in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), however its association with outcomes in the context of reduced intensity conditioning regimen (RIC) HSCT for adults with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) is not known. Patients and Methods From 1998 to 2003, 253 patients with de novo AML, received transplants with RIC and peripheral blood from a genoidentical donor. Median age was 55 years (range, 18 to 72) and the median follow-up was 17 months (range, 2 to 67). One hundred forty one patients received transplants in first remission (CRI), 47 received transplants in second remission (CR2), and 65 patients received transplants in a more advanced phase. Fludarabin-based RIC was used in, 91%, of patients and low-dose (<4 Gy) total-body radiation in 23% of patients. The median nucleated and CD34 cell dose infused were 9.1 x 10(8)/kg and 5.8 x 10(6)/kg, respectively. Results,. Overall, 2-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) was 41% +/- 4% and it was 46% +/- 5% for patients receiving a higher cell dose (>9.1 x 10(8)/kg) and 37% +/- 5% for the remainders (P = .03). Higher cell doses exclusively benefited patients who received transplantations in CR2 or beyond, with LFS of 47 +/- 8 versus 20 +/- 8, with no detectable effect for patients who received transplants in CR1. In a multivariate analysis of the overall patient population, higher nucleated cell dose cells were associated with higher LFS (P = .04), higher incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (P = .01), and there was a trend towards a lower relapse incidence (P = .06). Interestingly, CD34+ cell dose was not associated with any outcomes. Conclusion Nucleated cell dose is an important factor that can be modified to improve results of RIC for patients with AML transplanted later than om CR1.

- Sixty-nine consecutive patients ( median age 54 years) were prospectively enrolled in a single-institution protocol for allogeneic transplantation with adjusted non-myeloablative fludarabine - melfalan-based conditioning including cyclosporin A and MMF, and one of three modes of serotherapy. Thirty-one donors (45%) were unrelated. The first cohort of 29 had ATG (Thymoglobulin 2 mg/kg x 3 days), the subsequent 26 had Campath 30 mg x 3 days subcutaneously, and the final cohort of 14 had 30 mg Campath once. The groups were similar as regards age, diagnosis and risk factors. Campath-patients had no acute toxicity, fewer days with fever and antibiotics, and required fewer transfusions than ATG-treated patients. 3-d-Campath patients showed lower lymphocyte counts from day +4, and CD4+, CD8+, CD19+ and NK cells recovered slower than in ATG-treated patients. More Campath patients developed mixed chimerism that required DLI. 3-d-Campath induced more serious and opportunistic infections than ATG, which resulted in a greater non-relapse mortality and an impaired overall survival despite a low tumor-related mortality. The change of the Campath dosing schedule to one dose abrogated the deleterious effect of 3-d-Campath on immune recovery, severe infections and survival. Subcutaneous Campath is simple and provides strong immune suppression with no early toxicity, but dose limitation to 30 mg once is recommended.

- PURPOSE: Patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) have poor prognoses with current conventional chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of high-dose therapy (HDT) followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) on patients with AITL. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We report a retrospective, multicenter study of 146 patients with AITL who received ASCT. The source of the stem cells was peripheral blood in 143 patients. The conditioning regimen varied, and 74% of the patients received carmustine and 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea; etoposide; ara-C; and melphalan chemotherapy. RESULTS: After a median follow-up of 31 months (range, 3 to 174 months), 95 patients (65%) remained alive, and 51 patients (35%) died. Forty-two patients died as a result of disease progression, and nine died as a result of regimen-related toxicity. The cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality was 5% and 7% at 12 and 24 months, respectively. The actuarial overall survival (OS) was 67% at 24 months and 59% at 48 months. The cumulative incidence of relapse was estimated at 40% and 51% at 24 and 48 months, respectively. Disease status at transplantation was the major factor that impacted outcome. Patients who received a transplant during first complete remission (CR) had significantly superior progression-free survival and OS. The estimated PFS rates for patients who received their transplants in CR were 70% and 56% at 24 and 48 months, respectively; 42% and 30% for patients with chemotherapy-sensitive disease at those time points, respectively; and 23% at both time points for patients with chemotherapy-refractory disease. CONCLUSION: This study shows that HDT and ASCT offers the possibility of long-term disease-free survival to patients with AITL. Early transplantation is necessary to achieve optimal results.

- This retrospective study reported the outcome of 97 adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients who received a reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic stem cell transplantation. With a median follow-up of 2.8 years, two year overall-survival, leukemia-free survival and non-relapse mortality were significantly better in patients transplanted in first complete remission (CR1, 52±9%, 42±10%, and 18±7% respectively) compared with those transplanted in more advanced phase (p=0.003, p=0.002 and p=0.01 respectively). In multivariate analysis, disease status (CR1 vs. advanced, p=0.001) and chronic graft-vs-host disease (p=0.01) were associated with an improved overall-survival, suggesting that reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic stem cell transplantation is feasible in patients with high risk lymphoblastic leukemia in remission at transplantation. ©2008 Ferrata Storti Foundation.
