Optimization of bendamustine-containg graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis to reduce the incidence of secondary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and GVHD

Full description

Prognosis of patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation (HCT) for high-risk myeloid malignancies, including refractory acute myeloid leukemia, with standard HCT technologies have relatively poor prognosis with 10-30% long-term disease-free survival. One of the approaches to augment graft-versus-leukemia effect the use of post-transplantation bendamustine in graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. Despite high frequency of responses and durable remissions after this approach majority of patients develop a serious complication - cytokine release syndrome, which can be life-threatening in some patients. The combination bendamustine (PTB) and post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCY) facilitates comparable graft-versus leukemia effect to PTB, but with better safety profile and reduced incidence of severe cytokine release syndrome.
