A Multi-centre Phase II Trial of GVHD Prophylaxis Following Unrelated Donor Stem Cell Transplantation Comparing Thymoglobulin vs. Calcineurin Inhibitor or Sirolimus-based Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide
A multi-centre phase II trial of GvHD prophylaxis following unrelated donor stem cell transplantation comparing Thymoglobulin vs. Calcineurin inhibitor or Sirolimus-based post-transplant cyclophosphamide.
• Availability of suitably matched unrelated donor (9/10 or 10/10)
• Planned to receive one of the following RIC protocols:
‣ Fludarabine-Melphalan (Fludarabine 120-180mg/m2 IV; melphalan ≤ 150mg/m2 IV)
⁃ BEAM or LEAM (carmustine 300mg/m2 IV or lomustine 200mg/m2 IV with: etoposide 800 mg/m2 IV; cytarabine 1600mg/m2 IV; melphalan 140mg/m2 IV)
⁃ Fludarabine-Busulphan (Fludarabine 120-180mg/m2 IV; Busulphan ≤ 8mg/kg PO or 6.4mg/kg IV)
⁃ Fludarabine- Treosulfan (Fludarabine 150mg/m2 IV; Treosulfan 30g/m2 IV)
• Planned use of PBSCs for transplantation
• Planned allo-SCT for one of the following haematological malignancies:
‣ AML in CR (patients enrolled onto the COSI trial are not eligible for this study)
⁃ ALL in CR (patients enrolled onto the ALL-RIC trial are not eligible for this study)
⁃ CMML \<10% blasts
⁃ MDS \<10% blasts (patients enrolled onto the COSI trial are not eligible for this study)
⁃ NHL in CR/PR
⁃ HL in CR/PR
⁃ MM in CR/PR
⁃ CLL in CR/PR
⁃ CML in 1st or 2nd chronic phase
⁃ Myelofibrosis
• Age 16-70 years
• Females of and male patients of reproductive potential (i.e., not post-menopausal or surgically sterilised) must agree to use appropriate, highly effective, contraception from the point of commencing therapy until 12 months after transplant
