ABSTRACT: Background
While tacrolimus and sirolimus (T/S)-based graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis has been effective in preventing acute GvHD post hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), its efficacy and long-term outcome in matched (MUD) and mismatched unrelated donor (mMUD) setting is not well defined.Methods
Herein, we evaluated a consecutive case-series of 482 patients who underwent unrelated donor HCT (2005-2013) with T/S-based GvHD prophylaxis.Results
With a median follow-up of 6.2 years (range = 2.4-11.3), the 5-year overall survival (OS) and relapse/progression-free survival were 47.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 43.0-52.0) and 43.6% (95% CI: 39.1-48.1), respectively; and the 5-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and relapse were 24
