Rajneesh Nath, MD, Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, Gilbert, AZ, outlines the rationale and results of a single-center retrospective study evaluating the safety and efficacy of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in patients older than 70 years old who received allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC). The study showed high rates of GvHD relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) at one and three years, demonstrating that PTCy is effective and well tolerated in elderly patients. This interview took place at the 2023 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT™ and CIBMTR® held in Orlando, FL.
