Brief Summary
This observational study aims to emulate a hypothetical pragmatic, multicenter, non-blinded clinical trial enrolling adult patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) with grafts derived from either cousin or sibiling donors. The main research question is whether cousin donor-derived haplo-HSCT is associated with inferior clinical outcomes relative to sibling donor-derived haplo-HSCT. Study participants consist of adult patients diagnosed with hematological malignancies who underwent cousin or sibiling haplo-HSCT between 2017 and 2024, and all eligible recipients will receive regular follow-up assessments.

Study Arms (2)
Cousin haplo-HSCT
Patients who underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with cousin donors. Grouping was based on donor age recorded in retrospective clinical data.
Sibling haplo-HSCT
Patients who underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with sibling donors. Grouping was based on donor age recorded in retrospective clinical data.
Eligibility Criteria
This multicenter, retrospective observational study included adult patients with hematological malignancies undergoing their first haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at four clinical centers between 2017 to 2024. Eligible patients were identified through retrospective clinical records and stratified by donor kinship recorded at transplant, classified as either cousin or sibling donor graft recipients.
You may qualify if:
- Adult patients diagnosed with hematological malignancies, including acute leukemia (AL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)
- Receipt of first haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation between 2017 and 2024
- Documented exact date of transplantation available in medical charts
- Verifiable donor kinship classified as either cousin or sibiling
- Complete longitudinal follow-up data accessible for outcome assessment
You may not qualify if:
- Prior receipt of any form of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
- An age difference of more than 18 years between the donor and recipient
- Failure of successful infusion of donor-derived hematopoietic stem cells following conditioning regimen
