ABSTRACT
Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) effectively prevents graft-versus-host disease after unmanipulated HLA-haploidentical HSCT. The use of PTCY in the unrelated donor HSCT setting is less explored. We conducted a retrospective study of 132 consecutive patients undergoing a matched or 9/10 mismatched unrelated donor HSCT in 4 centers in Spain, 60 with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)-based prophylaxis combined with MTX-CsA, and 72 using a PTCY-based regimen. Peripheral blood stem cells were used as graft in most patients (111 patients, 84%); mMUD donors were balanced between groups. Cumulative incidences of grades II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD at 100 days were lower in the PTCy group (46% vs. 67%, p = 0.008; 3% vs. 34%, p = 0.003), without statistically significant differences in the 2-year cumulative incidence of chronic moderate-severe GVHD. At 2 years, no significant differences were observed in overall survival, event-free survival, cumulative incidence of relapse, and non-relapse mortality. GVHD was the most frequent cause of NRM in the ATG group. No differences were observed between groups in the composite endpoint of GVHD-free and relapse-free survival. In this study, PTCy combined with additional immunosuppression after MUD/mMUD HSCT showed a reduction of aGVHD rate with safety results comparable to those obtained with the ATG-based prophylaxis.
