Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare clonal disorder caused by a somatic mutation of the X-linked phosphatidylinositol glycan class A gene. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) after high-dose conditioning is the only curative treatment; however, it is associated with high treatment-related mortality. Here, we report on allogeneic HCT for PNH after minimal conditioning. Seven adult patients with high-risk PNH underwent peripheral blood HCT from HLA-A-, -B-, -C-, -DRB1-, and -DQB1-matched related (n = 2) and unrelated (n = 5) donors. Conditioning included fludarabine 30 mg/m(2)/d on days -4 to -2 and 2 Gy of total body irradiation on day 0. After HCT, patients were given immunosuppressive therapy with oral cyclosporine starting on day -3 and mycophenolate mofetil starting on day 0. All 7 patients attained durable engraftment. After 28 days, a median of 77% (range, 53%-96%) T-cell donor chimerism was found in bone marrow and peripheral blood. T-cell chimerism increased to 91% (range, 76%-100%) on day +180 and to 100% in all surviving patients after 12 months. All 7 patients attained complete remissions of their disease. Four patients are alive 13 to 38 months after HCT. Three patients died of treatment-related mortality, 1 because of complications after acute pancreatitis and multiorgan failure, 1 because of infection related to chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and 1 because of bleeding after liver biopsy for late subacute/chronic GVHD. Allogeneic HCT from related and unrelated donors after minimal conditioning is a new and potentially curative option for patients with advanced PNH.
