[New era of GVHD prophylaxis using posttransplant cyclophosphamide].
Use of posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for the prophylaxis of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has revolutionized the field of HLA-haploidentical stem cell transplantation, which was previously considered high-risk and only feasible in specialized centers. The rapid adoption of PTCy is attributed not only to its superior efficacy in suppressing GVHD but also to its affordability and the lack of need for specialized techniques or equipment to administer it. Recently, PTCy has gained attention for its potential effectiveness in GVHD prophylaxis beyond HLA-haploidentical stem cell transplantation. In a phase III trial (BMT CTN 1703 trial) in patients undergoing allogeneic HLA-matched stem cell transplantation with reduced-intensity conditioning, GVHD-free, relapse-free survival at 1 year was significantly better among those who received PTCy-tacrolimus-mycophenolate mofetil than among those who received tacrolimus-methotrexate. In Japan, a phase II clinical trial that investigated PTCy for GVHD prophylaxis following HLA-matched or 1-2 allele mismatched peripheral blood stem cell transplantation confirmed the efficacy and safety of this approach. Effective suppression of GVHD using PTCy is expected to enhance the safety of allogeneic transplantation, potentially improving transplant outcomes and offering hope for better patient care in the field of transplantation.
