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.

Unified Conditioning and GVHD Prophylaxis with Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide, and 2 Gy TBI plus Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide in Elderly AML/MDS Patients Undergoing Haploidentical or Unrelated Donor Allo-SCT

Fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and low-dose TBI combined with post-transplant cyclophosphamide provide a safe and effective single platform for haploidentical and unrelated donor allo-SCT in older AML/MDS patients, showing favorable survival and GVHD outcomes.

Anti-CD117 Conditioning With Briquilimab Shows Feasibility and Stem-Cell Depletion in Older Adults Undergoing Allogeneic Transplant for High-Risk AML and MDS

A phase 1 trial suggests briquilimab can be safely added to nonmyeloablative conditioning before allogeneic transplant in older adults with high-risk AML or MDS, with biologic evidence of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell depletion and encouraging early survival outcomes.
