Abstract:We evaluated the clinical impacts of the concurrent modification of post‐transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) dose and tacrolimus (Tac)‐initiation timing in 61 patients with human leukocyte antigen‐haploidentical transplantation. Reduced‐dose PTCy (80 mg/kg) was associated with a higher incidence of moderate‐to‐severe chronic graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD) than standard‐dose PTCy (100 mg/kg) (35.0% vs. 26.6%, p = 0.053). Notably, early‐initiation Tac (day ‐1) increased moderate‐to‐severe chronic GVHD than stan… Show more
