Brief Summary:
Severe acquired aplastic anaemia (SAA) is a bone marrow failure disease characterized by pancytopenia and a hypocellular bone marrow. The corn pathophysiological mechanism is the destruction of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells mediated by auto-reactive effector T cells. Immunosuppressive therapy with horse antithymocyte globulin (ATG) plus cyclosporine (CSA) is currently the standard of treatment in patients with aplastic anaemia who are not eligible for bone marrow transplantation and with response rates from 40% to 70%. Previous studies showed that horse ATG (hATG) is apparently more effective than rabbit ATG (rATG) as the latter has higher treatment related mortality (TRM). Unfortunately hATG is unavailable in China, so we conduct a optimized standard treatment (9 days protocol) of rATG plus CSA and Levamisole (LMS) Sequential maintaining (termed Optimized Standard Protocol, OSP) for severe aplastic anemia. This prospective study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Optimized Standard Protocol as first line therapy in newly diagnosed severe aplastic anemia patients.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Aplastic Anemia Drug: rabbit ATG, Cyclosporine, Levamisole Phase 2

Detailed Description:
During the treatment period, rATG is administered at a dose of 1.97 mg/kg/day for 9 days by slow intravenous infusion. CSA is administered orally at a dose of 3 mg/kg qod, and Levamisole was administered orally at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg qod. The CSA and Levamisole (LMS) is designed to alternately every other day.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. the response and complete remission rate with Optimized Standard Protocol. [ Time Frame: month +6 ]

    Response will be evaluated at each clinic visit. Complete response (CR) was defined as achieving all three peripheral blood count criteria: (1) Hb level up to the normal range; (2) ANC≥1.5×109/L; (3) PLT≥100×109/L.

    Partial response (PR) was defined as transfusion independent, no longer meeting criteria for severe disease. Persistence of transfusion requirement or death was evidence of no response (NR).



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Relapse rate, sustained response (SR), survival, and clonal evolution to myelodysplasia and acute leukemia. [ Time Frame: month +12, month +60 ]

    Relapse was defined as a responder who met criteria for SAA again after achieving response and keeping stable blood counts for at least 3 months.

    Sustained response (SR) was defined as Hb > 10 g/dL at month +12 and +60, in the absence of any treatment.
