Optimizing GVHD Prophylaxis After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
This study will compare post-transplant health-related quality of life following the use of standard versus attenuated dose of post-transplant cyclophosphamide in addition to two-drug graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis among recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion criteria: * Adults aged 60 years or older * Diagnosis of a hematological malignancy or other serious hematological disorder that requires an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation * Planned to receive any reduced-intensity conditioning regimen (any graft source is acceptable) and availability of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donor at HLA loci A, B, C, and HLA-DR beta chain antigen (DRB1) * Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of 70% or higher. Exclusion criteria: * Previous history of one or more prior allogeneic stem cell transplants (i.e., second or third allogeneic transplant) * Planned use of high doses of cyclophosphamide (e.g., a total cyclophosphamide dose of approximately 50 mg/kg or more) as part of the conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic stem cell transplant. A lower dose of cyclophosphamide (e.g., fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and low-dose total body irradiation regimen that uses 2 doses of cyclophosphamide at 14.5 mg/kg) is acceptable. * Known d
