Low-Dose Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Plus Low-Dose Posttransplant Cyclophosphamide as an Effective Regimen for Prophylaxis of Graft Versus Host Disease After Haploidentical Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation With Maternal/Collateral Related Donors.

ABSTRACT: Maternal and collateral donors were associated with a higher incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). A more effective regimen for GvHD prophylaxis after haplo-HSCT with maternal/collateral donors needed to be explored. A retrospective study was performed on 62 patients after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT) with maternal/collateral donors, which included 35 patients with low-dose antithymocyte globulin (ATG) plus low-dose posttransplant cyclophosphamide-based (low-dose ATG/PTCy-based) and 27 with ATG-based regimens for GvHD prophylaxis. The 180-day cumulative incidences (CIs) of grades II-IV and III-IV acute GvHD (aGvHD) were 17.7% and 6.8% in low-dose ATG/PTCy-bas
