Post Transplant Cyclophosphamide (PTCY) as Sole Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) Prophylaxis for Matched Allotransplant: CYRIC

Acute or chronic graft versus host disease is still the major complication of stem cells transplantation regarding morbidity and mortality. Recently, high dose cyclophosphamide utilization early after post-transplantation (day+ 3 and +4) not only for patients with HLA- haploidentical donor but also for patients with Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-compatible donor, showed a great control of graft versus host disease after transplantation, allowing to consider stopping immunosuppressive treatment after the transplantation (Neoral=cyclosporine, cell-cept=mycophenolate mofetil). Indeed, this step has already been completed in myeloablative transplantation in adult patients. This approach could enable to avoid in the end several complications related to long term immunosuppressive drugs administration, while promoting quicker immunity recovery.
