Unlike the other chemotherapy regimen pages, this one is not disease-specific. Rather, this is a gathering point for all allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) conditioning regimens. Unless otherwise specified, the day before HSCT is day -1, the day of HSCT is day 0, and the day after HSCT is day +1.

GVHD prophylaxis

  • Cyclosporine A (not specified whether modified or non-modified) starting on day -2 at 1.5 mg/kg IV twice per day
