Objective:
To study the efficacy and safety of anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin(ATG-F) combined with cyclosporin A(CsA) on patients with severe aplastic anemia (SSA), so as to provide support for clinical work.
Methods:
From January 2010 to December 2015, 78 patients with SAA admitted in our hospital were divided into 2 groups: ATG-F+CsA group(40 cases) and ATG-F group(38 cases). After treatment for 6 months, the effective rate, side reaction rate and time of effect initiation were compared between 2 groups. The follow-up results were compared between 2 groups.
Results:
The effective rate and side reaction rate in ATG-F+CsA group were 100.00% and 32.50% respectively, those in ATG-F group were 94.74% and 44.74% respectively and without statistical significant difference(P>0.05). In ATG-F+CsA group, the time of effect initiation in cured patients, remission and obvious inprovement were (44.9±15.4) d, (68.8±15.9) d and (85.4±17.6) d; in ATG-F group, patients with those were (59.6±11.5) d, (94.7±17.8) d and (119.8±21.4) d respectively, the difference showed statistical significance(P<0.05). The follow-up results were not statistically significantly different between 2 groups(P>0.05).
Conclusion:
ATG-F combined with CsA can shorten the time of effect initiation, and demonstrates reliable safety.
