A prospective single-center study on CNI-free GVHD prophylaxis with everolimus plus mycophenolate mofetil in allogeneic HCT.

ABSTRACT: We report a single-center phase I/II trial exploring the combination of everolimus (EVE) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-free GVHD prophylaxis for 24 patients with hematologic malignancies and indication for allogeneic HCT after a high dose or reduced-intensity ablative conditioning. The study was registered as EudraCT-2007-001892-12 and Clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00856505. All patients received PBSC grafts and no graft failure occurred. 7/24 patients (29%) developed acute grades III and IV GVHD (aGVHD), 16/19 evaluable patients (84%) developed chronic GVHD (cGVHD) of all grades, and 6/19 (31.6%) of higher grades. No severe toxicities related to study medication were observed. The median follow-up of all surviving patients is 2177 days. The 3-year OS was 45.2%
