CASPER: REINFORCED PROPHYLAXIS OF GVH IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH HAEMATOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES RECEIVING HAPLOIDENTICAL ALLOGENEIC HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION: USE OF A LOW DOSE OF POST-ALLOGRAFT ANTI-LYMPHOCYTIC SERUM
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of GVH prophylaxis reinforced by low-dose Thymoglobulin administered at the end of aplasia after haploidentical allogeneic transplantation.
Patients will receive a single infusion of Thymoglobulin at a dose of 1 mg/kg between 48h and 72h after emergence from aplasia, and will be followed for 12 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rate of acute GVH [Day 100]

Cumulative incidence of invasive fungal and viral infections (CMV, EBV, BK virus) post allograft,
- Cumulative incidence [Day 100]
Cumulative incidence of EBMT-defined "poor graft function" post-transplant.
- Survival [1 year]
Progression-free survival and overall survival at 1 year post-transplant,
