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.

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.

Post‑transplant Cyclophosphamide with Sirolimus/Cyclosporine Dramatically Lowers Chronic GVHD After Unrelated Donor PBSC Transplant Without Raising Relapse Risk

In a randomized Phase II trial, replacing MMF with post‑transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) alongside sirolimus and cyclosporine in unrelated donor PBSC transplants markedly lowered chronic GVHD and improved 1‑year chronic GVHD‑free relapse‑free survival, without increasing relapse or early mortality, though severe infections rose.
