  1. Abstract:

    The need for prospective randomized clinical trials investigating novel graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prevention strategies which include other clinical outcomes impacted by GVHD has been highlighted as a priority for the field of hematopoietic cell transplantation. A recently completed study through the Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN 1301) comparing CD34+ selection and post-transplant cyclophosphamide to tacrolimus/methotrexate (Tac/MTX) for GVHD prevention demonstrated no significant differences in the primary endpoint of Chronic GVHD-Relapse-Free Survival (CRFS) among the three approaches. The trial did not demonstrate a superior approach compared to Tac/MTX; however, it highlights several challenges in determining the best and most relevant approaches to clinical trial design, particularly in the context of current and ongoing changes in real world practices. Here, we review BMT CTN 1301 results and implications for clinical practice and future clinical trial design. Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier Inc.
