Haplo vs MUD: An Apples to Apples Comparison and What This Could Mean for Your Patients

A direct comparison between MUD and haplo graft sources when both groups receive PTCy based GvHD prophylaxis was not known. The CIBMTR^® (Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research^®) recently published the results of this first-of-its-kind study (GS18-01 study) to answer this question looking at an "apples to apples" comparison of the outcomes of transplants for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in adults using haplo or matched unrelated donor where both received PTCy based GVHD prophylaxis.

This session will take a deep dive into the study findings, focusing on real life application in how it relates to graft source selection and patient treatment plans.
