Patients received a 1-mg test dose of alemtuzumab, and the following day, alemtuzumab was administered at 10 mg/dose intravenously for 10 days

Alemtuzumab

Sex: Female, Male

Race/Ethnicity, Customized

Response to treatment at 3 months after the first dose of alemtuzumab. The parameters for hematologic improvement (HI) and complete response (CR) were defined according to the International Working Group (IWG) criteria. The IWG criteria for HI define specific responses of cytopenias in the 3 hematopoietic lineages: erythroid (HI-E), platelet (HI-P), and neutrophil (HI-N).7 The HIs are measured in patients with pretreatment abnormal values: hemoglobin level less than 110 g/L (11 g/dL) or RBC-transfusion dependence, platelet count less than 100 × 109/L or platelet-transfusion dependence, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) less than 1.0 × 109/L.
The parameters for CR include less than 5% marrow blasts without evidence of dysplasia and normalization of peripheral blood counts, including a hemoglobin level of 110 g/L (11 g/dL) or more (in patients not receiving erythropoietin or transfusions), a neutrophil count of 1.5 × 109/L or more, and a platelet count of 100 × 109/L.
