Comparing haploidentical transplantation with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide and umbilical cord blood transplantation using targeted busulfan in children and adolescents with hematologic malignancies.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study compared the outcomes of haploidentical-related donor (HRD) and umbilical cord blood (UCB) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies.

Methods

Data on patients who underwent HRD HSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (n = 41) and UCB HSCT (n = 24) after targeted busulfan-based myeloablative conditioning with intensive pharmacokinetic monitoring between 2009 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results

The median follow-up durations in the HRD and UCB groups were 7.0 and 10.9 years, respectively. The cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grades II-IV and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD did not differ significantly between the groups. However, the HRD group demonst
