PTCy-ATG vs ATG in Haploidentical HSCT for Acute Graft-versus-host Disease Prophylaxis

October 24, 2019 updated by: Qifa Liu, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University

A Comparison of PTCy-ATG and ATG Strategy in Haploidentical HSCT for Acute Graft-versus-host Disease Prophylaxis

The granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)+antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based protocols and posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) protocols have been widely used for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in haploidentical related donor transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Nevertheless, severe acute GVHD remains an obstacle for haplo-HSCT. This study is aim to evaluate the efficacy of a modified protocol that includes PTCY and ATG in recipients of haplo-HSCT.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Haploidentical related donor transplantation is now considered an important alternative to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Currently, the strategies for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis mainly include ex vivo and in vivo T-cell depletion (TCD) in haploidentical HSCT (haplo-HSCT). In vivo TCD modalities have become mainstream including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)+antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based protocols and posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) protocols. The ATG strategy has been widely used. Nevertheless, severe acute GVHD remains an obstacle for haplo-HSCT. In addition, infections, especially viral infections, remain an important drawback of this strategy. This study is aim to evaluate the efficacy of a modified protocol that includes PTCY and ATG in recipients of haplo-HSCT.
