43 Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation Multistep Procedure: Hematopoietic stem cells harvested from PBL (or BM) Immune system then ablated (varying intensity of conditioning regimen) Harvested stem cells then re-infused, restoring a naïve immune system Greater risk with more intensive conditioning regimens Studies to-date in MS have utilized various regimens, small cohorts, and variable follow-up periods
44 Immunoablation and Autologous Haemopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Aggressive MS: Multi-center Single Group Phase 2 Trial Between diagnosis and ahsct, 24 patients had 167 clinical relapses over 140 patient-years with 188 Gdenhancing lesions on 48 pre-ahsct MRI scans Primary outcome, multiple sclerosis activity-free survival at 3 years after transplantation was 69.6% (95% CI ) With up to 13 years of follow-up after ahsct, no relapses occurred and no Gd enhancing lesions or new T2 lesions were seen on 314 MRI sequential scans Rate of brain atrophy decreased to that expected for healthy controls
