Brief summary
The protocols including ciclosporin A (CsA)+methotrexate (MTX) +mycophenolate Mofetil(MMF) have been widely used for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD). Nevertheless, severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) remains an obstacle for MSD HSCT. A growing body of studies have suggested antithymocyte globulin (ATG) could reduce the incidence of cGVHD. This study is aim to evaluate the efficacy of a protocol that includes CsA, MTX, MMF and ATG in recipients of MSD HSCT.
Interventions
In ATG group, ATG will be intravenously infused via a central venous catheter in day -1 at a dose of 2.5mg/kg.
In both groups, CsA will be intravenously infused from day -9 and the dose was adjusted based on the concentration.
In both groups, MTX will be intravenously on days +1(15mg), +3(10mg) and +6(10mg).
In both groups, MMF will be administrated at a dose of 1.0g/d.
