Post-transplant cyclophosphamide versus anti-thymocyte globulin after reduced intensity peripheral blood allogeneic cell transplantation in recipients of matched sibling or 10/10 HLA matched unrelated donors: final analysis of a randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase 2 trial.

ABSTRACT: The use of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis is not established after reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from fully matched donors. This was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase 2 trial. All patients received a RIC regimen with fludarabine, intravenous busulfan for 2 days (Flu-Bu2), and a peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) graft from a matched related or 10/10 HLA-matched unrelated donor. Patients were randomly assigned to receive anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) 5 mg/kg plus standard GVHD prophylaxis or PTCy 50 mg/kg/d at days +3 and +4 plus standard GVHD prophylaxis. The primary endpoint was the composite endpoint of GVHD- and relapse-free survival (GRFS) at 12 months after HS
