Posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has enabled near-universal donor access and expanded the pool of patients eligible for a haploidentical allogeneic transplant. Although often used in combination with a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), it can be used as sole graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in HLA-identical transplantation following myeloablative conditioning. Previous approaches using CNI-free approaches have included ex vivo T cell depletion using immunomagnetic selection of CD34+ cells and in vivo T cell depletion using antithymocyte globulin 1, 2.The article by McCurdy et al.[3] evaluates the incidence of GVHD when PTCy is used as a sole GVHD prophylaxis in the setting of a myeloablative bone marrow transplant (BMT). The authors report a retrospective review of 298 adult recipients, 187 of whom received a matched sibling donor (MSD) graft and 111 from a matched unrelated donor (MUD) from a single institution. All patients received a marrow graft with a goal dose of 4× 10 8/kg following conditioning with busulfan combined with either fludarabine or cyclophosphamide and followed by PTCy on days+ 3 and 4. The authors describe in granular detail the impact of no GVHD versus grade II acute GVHD (aGVHD) versus grade III to IV aGVHD and chronic GVHD (cGVHD) on outcomes such as overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), nonrelapse mortality, and relapse. It is important to note that 58% of patients had active disease or measurable residual disease at the time of transplant. Day 100 incidence of grade II aGVHD was 35% in MSD and 57% in MUD recipients. As expected, 58% of patients with grade II aGVHD had skin-only involvement, 14% of whom progressed to grade III to IV GVHD, whereas 42% of patients had gut or liver involvement without skin involvement, 31% of whom progressed to grade III to IV GVHD. The median onset to GVHD was 33 days in MUD versus 38 days in MSD BMT. In a landmark analysis at 100 days for the entire cohort, 4-year relapse incidence was 33% in those with grade II aGVHD versus 49% in those without GVHD. Four-year OS was 57% and PFS was 40% in those without GVHD versus 68% OS and 54% PFS in those with grade II GVHD. A definite decrease in relapse incidence was observed in those who had grade II GVHD and cGVHD with a resultant increase in OS.
