Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of Reduced Dose Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in patients with hematologic malignancies after receiving an HLA-Mismatched Unrelated Donor (MMUD) . The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  • Does a reduced dose of PTCy reduce the occurrence of infections in the first 100 days after transplant?

  • Does a reduced dose of PTCy maintain the same level of protection against Graft Versus Host Disease (GvHD) as the standard dose of PTCy?

Patients with well controlled HIV are eligibleprovided resistance panels are negative, the patient is compliant with ART, andtheir disease remains well controlled.

Exclusion

Donor Exclusion Criteria:

  2. Recipient positive for HLA antibodies against a mismatched HLA in the selected donordetermined by the presence of donor specific HLA antibodies (DSA) to any mismatchedHLA allele/antigen at any of the following loci (HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, DRB3, DRB4,DRB5, -DQA1, - DQB1, -DPA1, -DPB1) with median fluorescence intensity (MFI) >3000 bymicroarray-based single antigen bead testing. In patients receiving red blood cellor platelet transfusions, DSA evaluation must be performed or repeatedpost-transfusion and prior to donor mobilization and initiation of recipientpreparative regimen.
