Blood Cancer Talks

In this episode, we talk about GVHD prophylaxis, including recent data on post-transplant cyclophosphamide and abatacept with Dr. Shernan Holtan from the University of Minnesota. 

Here are the key trials we discussed:

1. BMT CTN 1203 trial: Three prophylaxis regimens (tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and cyclophosphamide; tacrolimus, methotrexate, and bortezomib; or tacrolimus, methotrexate, and maraviroc) versus tacrolimus and methotrexate for prevention of GVHD in allogeneic transplantation.
