Comparable and Robust Immune Reconstitution after HLA-Haploidentical or HLA-Matched Allogeneic Transplantation (BMT) Utilizing Posttransplantation Cyclophosphamide
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) limits severe acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and facilitates engraftment, permitting HLA-matched donor (MD) BMT without additional GVHD prophylaxis and the safe performance of HLA-haploidentical (haplo) BMT. Low rates of transplant related mortality, infection, and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) support that PTCy based immunosuppression allows favorable immune recovery. However limited data exist regarding immune reconstitution after haplo or MD BMT utilizing PTCy.
