The ability of posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) to facilitate haploidentical transplantation has spurred interest in whether PTCY can improve clinical outcomes in patients with HLA-matched unrelated donors undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). We investigated our institutional experience using PTCY-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis compared with conventional tacrolimus-based regimens. We compared overall survival, progression-free survival (PFS), relapse, nonrelapse mortality, and acute and chronic GVHD in 107 adult patients receiving a PTCY-based regimen vs 463 patients receiving tacrolimus-based regimens for GVHD prophylaxis. The 2 cohorts were well balanced for baseline characteristics except that more patients in the PTCY cohort having received 7-of-8–matched PBSCT. There was no difference in acute GVHD. All-grade chronic GVHD …
