NCT01810926

Brief Summary

• The primary aim of the present trial is to assess in a randomized fashion the benefit on standard graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis of the addition of ATG-Fresenius S ® in transplants from matched related donors (MRD) and of anti-CD20 rituximab in transplants from matched unrelated donors (MUD). Both safety and efficacy of the treatment will be assessed, in particular in respect to the clinical status of the patient, i.e. prevention of graft failure and chronic GvHD and of Ebstein Barr virus (EBV) viremia for MUD patients. The conditioning proposed combines myeloablative drugs with a favorable safety profile such as treosulfan, thiotepa (Tepadina®) and fludarabine with the intent to reduce the traditional immediate and late toxicity of busulfan and cyclophosphamide.
