Target Audience and Goal Statement
This activity is intended for hematologists, oncologists, internists, pediatricians, and other clinicians caring for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD).
The goal of this activity is for learners to be better able to describe whether non--myeloablative-related haploidentical bone marrow transplantation (haplo-BMT) with thiotepa and posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) achieves 2-year event-free survival (EFS [ie, no graft failure or death]) of 80% or more, based on an international, multicenter, phase 2 clinical trial with 70 evaluable participants (median age, 19.1 years) based on the conditioning protocol.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will:
- Describe event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) treated with nonmyeloablative related haploidentical bone marrow transplantation (haplo-BMT) with thiotepa and posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), based on an international, multicenter, phase 2 clinical trial with 70 evaluable participants
- Determine graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) rate, infections, and associated factors in patients with SCD treated with nonmyeloablative-related haplo-BMT with thiotepa and PTCy, based on an international multicenter phase 2 clinical trial with 70 evaluable participants
- Identify clinical implications of EFS, OS, and GVHD in patients with SCD treated with nonmyeloablative-related haplo-BMT with thiotepa and PTCy, based on an international multicenter phase 2 clinical trial with 70 evaluable participants
