We evaluated the efficacy of allogeneic non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation (NST) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A total of 5 patients received blood stem cells from HLA identical siblings. Conditioning consisted of: cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg/d, days -7 to -6 and fludarabine 25 mg/m2/d for consecutive days [days -5, -4, -3, -2, -1]. The median CD34+ cell dose was 3.34 million/kg. Immunosuppression consisted of cyclosporine A and methotrexate. Among all, four patients achieved full donor chimerism with a median of 89 days. One patient rejected the graft and received the second transplantation. Grade II-III acute GVHD occured in 3 patients. None of patients achieved complete or partial response and there were only two mixed responses. All patients died due to cancer progression. There were no transplant-related deaths. Summarising, NST regimen allows allogeneic engraftment with low treatment related mortality in this high-risk population of patients. Acute and chronic GVHD are the major morbidities. Progression is common after NST in unselected patients with advanced RCC. However, regression of some metastases suggests that the graft versus tumor effect may occur after this type of treatment. At present such a procedure should be considered as an experimental approach.
