ABSTRACT
Despite novel cellular and immunomodulatory therapies, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains a treatment option for lymphoid malignancies. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) is increasingly employed for graft vs. host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PTCY in reduce intensity (RIC) HSCT for patients with lymphoid neoplasms compared to sirolimus with tacrolimus (SIR/TAC). The primary endpoint was to compare grade III-IV acute GVHD, severe chronic GVHD, and relapse-free survival (GRFS) between the two GVHD prophylaxis strategies. This study, conducted from January 2012 to December 2020, included 171 consecutive patients (82 in the PTCY and 89 in the SIR/TAC group). Results revealed a significantly decreased incidence of moderate and severe forms of chronic GVHD in PTCY cohort (5.8% [95% CI, 1.8 to 13.1]) versus the SIR/TAC cohort (39.6% [95% CI, 29.3 to 49.7] (p < 0.001)). Other outcomes, including GRFS (PTCY [45.9% (95% CI, 35.8-58.7)] and SIR/TAC groups [36.8% (95% CI, 28-48.4)], (p = 0.72)), non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse and overall survival (OS) were similar in both groups. Interestingly, the failure to achieve GRFS was mainly attributed to GVHD in the SIR/TAC group, while disease relapse was the primary reason in the PTCY cohort.
