Impact of GVHD prophylaxis on CMV reactivation and disease after HLA-matched peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT: The kinetics of early and late cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation after hematopoietic cell transplantation using various methods of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis are poorly defined. We retrospectively compared CMV reactivation and disease among 780 seropositive patients given HLA-matched peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts and calcineurin inhibitor plus posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy; n = 44), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF; n = 414), or methotrexate (MTX; n = 322). Transplantation occurred between 2007 and 2018; CMV monitoring/management followed uniform standard practice. Hazards of CMV reactivation at various thresholds were compared. Spline curves were fit over average daily viral load and areas under the curve (AUC) within 1 year were calculated. PTCy and M
