Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) remains a significant problem for patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Although in vivo lymphodepletion for cGVHD prophylaxis has been explored in the myeloablative setting, its effects after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) are not well described. Patients (N = 83) with hematologic malignancies underwent targeted lymphodepletion chemotherapy followed by a RIC allo-HSCT using peripheral blood stem cells from unrelated donors.

We have performed allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) using a reduced intensity conditioning regimen for curative management of advanced myelofibrosis (MF). However, allo-HCT is rarely considered for elderly or patients with severe comorbidities due to high transplantation-related mortality. In those patients, an alemtuzumab-based non-myeloablative (NMA) conditioning regimen followed by stem cell transplantation could be a possible treatment that has been tried in sickle cell anemia showing stable mixed chimerism and improvement of the disease.

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after a reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen with fludarabine, melphalan and alemtuzmab is an effective therapy for haematological malignancies. Alemtuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against CD52, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor-bound surface protein on lymphocytes, depletes T cells to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Despite this, acute and chronic GVHD (a/cGVHD) remain life-threatening complications after HSCT.
