Brief summary

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Tacrolimus (Prograf capsule, Prograf injection) and Methotrexate combination therapy for GVHD prophylaxis in patients who received peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a sibling donor, and to compare with data from a historical control group that administered a conventional Cyclosporine formulation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety as assessed by laboratory assessmentsDay 1 up to 1 year post-transplantIncludes hematology, biochemistry and trough plasma concentration analysis
Classification of chronic GVHD occurring after 100 days after peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a sibling donorDay 100 up to 1 year post-transplantDepending on the extent of occurrence, it is classified as limited (present only locally) and extensive (systemic lesions). Depending on the presence of preceding acute GVHD, it is classified as progressive for a patient with preceding acute GVHD (chronic GVHD following the occurrence of acute GVHD), quiescent (chronic GVHD after relief of acute GVHD symptoms) or otherwise (de novo).
Safety as assessed by adverse eventsDay 1 up to 1 year post-transplant
Number of occurrence sites of acute GVHD occurring within 100 days after peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a sibling donorDay 1 up to Day 100 post-transplant
Severity of acute GVHD occurring within 100 days after peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a sibling donorDay 1 up to Day 100 post-transplantSeverity is graded according to the Seattle criteria, between 1+ \ 4+ depending on the severity of the injury of the skin, liver and digestive system, and the overall grade is classified by including the performance change.
Number of occurrence sites of chronic GVHD occurring after 100 days after peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a sibling donorDay 100 up to 1 year post-transplant

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Percentage of patients alive after peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a sibling donor in comparison with Cyclosporine in combination with MTXDay 1 up to 1 year post-transplant
