Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the effectiveness of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in pediatric acute leukemia patients who underwent matched allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
  • - A retrospective analysis of 190 children shows that PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis led to significantly lower rates of acute and chronic GVHD after transplants from matched unrelated donors (MUD) compared to standard treatments.
  • - The findings suggest PTCy is a promising and effective option for GVHD prevention in pediatric patients, particularly in MUD settings, while showing similar efficacy to traditional methods in matched sibling donor (MSD) transplants. *

Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is a specific complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with a multifactorial etiology. There is little evidence published regarding the efficacy and factors influencing the outcome of substitution of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) with other agentsas a widely accepted practice in this disorder; however, there are limited data on the options for immunosuppression manipulation (ISM). In our study, we retrospectively analyzed outcomes of 45 patients with TA-TMA with ISM and substitution either with steroids (steroid group) or anmTOR inhibitor sirolimus (sirolimus group).
