Defibrotide Prophylaxis of Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome in Adults Treated With Inotuzumab Ozogamicin Prior to Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome (SOS) is a life threatening HSCT complication and it can rapidly evolve in Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome, with a mortality exceeding 80%. Early treatment with defibrotide is the leading factor for efficacy. Its prophylactic use is recommended in the pediatric setting, but its value isn't validated for adults, although factors for individual risk assessment are debated.

Addition of a Single Low Dose of Anti T-Lymphocyte Globulin to Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant: A Pilot Study.

Correlation between risk of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and CD3 counts within the peripheral blood stem cell graft has recently been reported in the setting of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy). We aimed to investigate the benefit of the addition of a single dose of anti-T lymphocyte globulin (ATLG 5 mg/kg) to PT-Cy in this setting. Starting in 2019, all patients receiving PBSC transplant containing CD3 counts above 300 × 10/kg (study group) received a post-transplant dose of ATLG in addition to standard PT-Cy.
