Posttransplant cyclophosphamide as GVHD prophylaxis in patients receiving mismatched unrelated HCT: the PHYLOS trial.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Posttransplant high-dose cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is effective in overcoming the negative impact of HLA disparity in the haploidentical setting. In light of these results, we investigated the efficacy of PTCy, in improving clinical outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) in patients with acute myeloid malignancies by reducing the incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). A prospective, single-arm, phase 2 study (PHYLOS) was conducted by the Gruppo Italiano Trapianto di Midollo Osseo. The ethical committees of the participating centers approved the study (EURODRACT 2017-003530-85). A total of 77 consecutive patients (acute myeloid leukemia: 64; myelodysplastic syndrome: 13) were enrolled at
