Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The participant is aged ≥ 16 and deemed medically fit per investigator for protocol
- The participant has either acute myeloid leukemia in 1st or 2nd complete remission (CR), or has myelodysplastic syndrome
- The participant will receive a blood progenitor cell graft ("HPC, Apheresis")
- The participant has a related or unrelated donor, who is fully MHC matched with the recipient at HLA-A, B, C and DRB1.
- The participant meets the transplant centre's criteria for transplantation, using either myeloablative or reduced intensity conditioning.
- The participant has good performance status (Karnofsky ≥60%)
- The participant is able to understand and sign the informed consent form
- Ability and willingness to comply with study procedures and schedule, in the Investigator's opinion.
- The participant is receiving their first transplant
You may not qualify if:
- The participant is HIV antibody positive
- The participant has a hypersensitivity to rabbit proteins or Thymoglobulin® pharmaceutical excipients, glycine or mannitol.
- The participant has active or chronic infection (i.e. infection requiring oral or IV therapy)
- The participant (if female and of childbearing potential) is pregnant or breast-feeding at the time of enrollment
- The participant (if female and of childbearing potential) does not agree to use an adequate contraceptive method from the time of enrollment until a minimum of one year following transplant3
- The participant (if male and fertile) does not agree to use an adequate contraceptive method from the time of enrollment until a minimum of one year following transplant3
- The participant has urinary outflow obstruction
- The participant is in poor condition (determined per institutional guidelines)
- The participant has acute leukemia in relapse
- The participant has myelodysplastic syndrome with \> 10% marrow blasts
- The participant is having their second transplant
- The participant is taking T-cell antibody prophylaxis (anti-CD52)
- The participant is receiving a cord blood graft or T-cell depleted grafts
- The participant has mixed phenotype acute leukemia
- The participant has prior malignancies, except resected nonmelanoma or treated cervical carcinoma in situ. Cancer treated with curative intent ≥ 5 years previously will be allowed. Cancer treated with curative intent \< 5 years previously must be reviewed and approved by the sponsors.
