A Randomized Pilot Trial to test the feasibility of comparing anti-thymocyte globulin plus post transplant cyclophosphamide with anti-thymocyte globulin alone to prevent chronic graft versus host disease.
Patients with acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome will be randomized to receive, or not receive, post transplant cyclophosphamide in addition to anti-thymocyte globulin.

Drug Cyclophosphamide

Post Transplant Cyclophosphamide

Drug Anti-Thymocyte globulin (rabbit)

Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (rabbit, Thymoglobulin)

  • Other names: Thymoglobulin

ATG/PTCy Experimental

Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (ATG, Thymoglobulin) 4.5 mg/kg IV (divided 0.5, 2.0, 2.0 mg/kg on days -2, -1 and +1); cyclophosphamide (Post Transplant Cyclophosphamide, PTCy) 50 mg/kg IV daily on days +3 and +4.

ATG Active Comparator

Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (ATG, Thymoglobulin) 4.5 mg/kg IV (divided 0.5, 2.0, 2.0 mg/kg on days -2, -1 and +1).

Criteria
