Optimizing GVHD Prophylaxis after Reduced-Intensity Matched Donor Transplantation in AML and MDS: Insights from PTCy and ATG Strategies

Optimizing GVHD Prophylaxis after Reduced-Intensity Matched Donor Transplantation in AML and MDS: Insights from PTCy and ATG Strategies

A large registry analysis supports post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) as an effective alternative to anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) for preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in reduced-intensity conditioning matched donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for AML and MDS.

ATG Versus ATG Plus Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide: A Pilot Trial for GvHD Prophylaxis in Matched Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplants

A randomized pilot trial shows comparable survival and safety outcomes for anti-thymocyte globulin alone versus combined with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, supporting further phase III investigation for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis in matched donor hematopoietic cell transplantation.
