PG - 47-60 LID - 10.1080/17474086.2019.1562331 [doi] AB - Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is frequently used to treat malignant and non-malignant conditions, and many patients lack a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched related or unrelated donor. For those patients, available alternative graft sources include HLA mismatched unrelated donors, cord blood, or haplo-identical donors. These graft sources have unique characteristics and associated outcomes requiring graft-specific variations to conditioning regimens, graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, and post-transplant care. Areas covered: This manuscript will cover approaches in selecting donors, conditioning regimens, graft versus host disease prophylaxis, post-transplant care, and ongoing clinical trials related to mismatched grafts. Expert commentary: In the setting, haplo-identical grafts are increasingly popular due to low graft versus host disease (GVHD) risk and control of cellular dose. We recommend young male donors, utilizing bone marrow with post-transplant cyclophosphamide for GVHD prophylaxis. Cord blood transplant is appropriate for young healthy patients, and we recommend 6/8 HLA matched grafts with at least 2.0 x 10(7)/kg total nucleated cell dose. For mismatched unrelated donors we recommend young male donors, utilizing bone marrow with in vivo T-cell conditioning with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, alemtuzumab, or ATG. With these transplants, significant post-transplant surveillance and infectious prophylaxis is key to reducing treatment-related mortality.
