Chronic Graft-versus-host Disease (cGvHD) Prophylaxis With or Without ATG Prior to Stem Cell Transplantation (SCT) From HLA-identical Siblings in Patients With Acute Leukemia
Prophylaxis of Chronic Graft-versus-host Disease (cGvHD) With or Without Anti-T-lymphocyte-globulin (ATG Fresenius) Prior Allogeneic Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation From HLA-identical Siblings After Myeloablative Conditioning in Patients With Acute Leukemia: A Randomized Phase III-study

Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This multicenter, prospective phase III-study is to compare the administration of ATG FRESENIUS to the NON-administration of ATG FRESENIUS in a myeloablative conditioning regimen followed by allogeneic hematopoeitic stem cell transplantation from an HLA-identical sibling in patients with acute Leukemia. This clinical trial is to show that the administration of ATG FRESENIUS reduces the risk of chronic Graft-versus-Host disease after allogeneic stem cell transplantation from HLA-identical siblings.
