ATG in HLA-matched Sibling HSCT as GVHD Prophylaxis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The protocols including ciclosporin A (CsA)+methotrexate (MTX) +mycophenolate Mofetil(MMF) have been widely used for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD). Nevertheless, severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) remains an obstacle for MSD HSCT. A growing body of studies have suggested antithymocyte globulin (ATG) could reduce the incidence of cGVHD. This study is aim to evaluate the efficacy of a protocol that includes CsA, MTX, MMF and ATG in recipients of MSD HSCT.

Experimental: ATG group ATG group refers to treatment with a protocol including low-dose ATG, CsA, short-term MTX and MMF as GVHD prophylaxis. |
Drug: ATG
In ATG group, ATG will be intravenously infused via a central venous catheter in day -1 at a dose of 2.5mg/kg.
Drug: CsA
In both groups, CsA will be intravenously infused from day -9 and the dose was adjusted based on the concentration.
Drug: MTX
In both groups, MTX will be intravenously on days +1(15mg), +3(10mg) and +6(10mg).
Drug: MMF
In both groups, MMF will be administrated at a dose of 1.0g/d.

Active Comparator: non-ATG group Non-ATG group refers to treatment with a protocol including CsA, short-term MTX and MMF as GVHD prophylaxis. |
Drug: CsA
In both groups, CsA will be intravenously infused from day -9 and the dose was adjusted based on the concentration.
Drug: MTX
In both groups, MTX will be intravenously on days +1(15mg), +3(10mg) and +6(10mg).
Drug: MMF
In both groups, MMF will be administrated at a dose of 1.0g/d.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the incidence of cGVHD [2 year posttransplantation]
cGVHD was graded as limited or extensive.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- overall survival [2 year posttransplantation]
- disease-free survival [2 year posttransplantation]
- the incidence of aGVHD [100 days 1 year posttransplantation]
aGVHD was defined according to the 1994 Consensus Conference on Acute GVHD Grading and graded from I to IV.
