We developed a haploidentical transplantation protocol with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (CY) for in vivo T-cell depletion (TCD) using a novel adapted-dosing schedule (25 mg/kg on days +3 and +4) for Fanconi anemia (FA). With median follow-up of 3 years (range, 37 days to 6.2 years), all six patients engrafted. Two patients with multiple pre-transplant comorbidities died, one from sepsis and one from sepsis with associated chronic GVHD. Four patients without preexisting comorbidities and early transplant referrals are alive with 100% donor chimerism and excellent performance status. We conclude that adjusted-dosing post-transplant CY is effective in in vivo TCD to promote full donor engraftment in patients with FA.

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatches in stem cell transplantation can be well-tolerated with the use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. Haploidentical (Haplo) and HLA-mismatched unrelated donors become acceptable donors. This review focuses on Haplo and unrelated donor selection in the context of PTCy-transplant for hematological malignancy, in comparison with conventional GvHD prophylaxis.

Background Aims: In HLA-identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), HLA-C1 group killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligands have been linked to graft-versus-host disease, whereas C2 homozygosity was associated with increased relapses. The differential impact of the recipients versus the donor's HLA-C KIR ligands cannot be determined in HLA-identical HSCT but may be elucidated in the haploidentical setting, in which HLA-C (including the HLA-C KIR ligand group) mismatching is frequently present.
Methods: We retrospectively investigated the effect of recipient versus donor C1 ligand content on survival and complications in post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based haploidentical HSCT (n = 170).
Donor Type Does Not Impact Late Graft Failure Following Reduced Intensity Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation with Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide Based Graft-Versus-Host Disease Prophylaxis.

Background: Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is a commonly used graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, particularly in the setting of haploidentical (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The rate of graft failure has been reported to be as high as 12-20% in haplo-HCT recipients using PTCy. The objective of this study was to determine if donor type influenced the risk of late graft failure following RIC HCT using PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis.

This companion study assesses the effect of these regimens on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Using the Lee Chronic GVHD Symptom Score and PROMIS subscales (physical function, GI symptoms, social role satisfaction) as primary end points and hemorrhagic cystitis symptoms and Lee subscales as secondary end points, responses from English and Spanish speakers were analyzed at baseline and days 100, 180, and 365 after transplant.

Although post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY)-based prophylaxis has become a widely adopted strategy for preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 9 out of 10 HLA-mismatched unrelated donors (MMUDs), allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants (allo-HCTs), data on the safety and efficacy of PTCY in this setting remain limited. This single-center study investigates the outcomes of 94 adults with hematological malignancies undergoing MMUD allo-HCT with PTCY and tacrolimus (Tac) (PTCY-Tac) between 2014 and 2023. The median age was 53 years, and 60.
