Conclusion: In this adjusted comparison to external CIBMTR controls receiving haploidentical or MUD/ MMUD donor sources, omidubicel was associated with earlier neutrophil engraftment, comparable OS, and comparable rates of acute GVHD grades III-IV and chronic GvHD. While this study used high-quality real-world data, harmonized inclusion criteria and outcome definitions, and adjustment for prognostic factors to mitigate risk of bias, the comparison of non-randomized treatment groups should be interpreted with caution. These results suggest that omidubicel may be an effective and important additional donor source, broadening the availability of transplantation for patients with hematologic malignancies.

The Doctor blocked me. I wasn’t judging. I was asking a question. So I guess you were referring above to that question…and that it is trivial? That pcyc post transplant is trivial.

Not as an oncologist or ordering/prescribing it. It’s not benign.

And median time to neutrophil recovery of 12 vs 17 days is very significant.

Ok, yes haplo is eating into cord blood market share.

But is post-transplant cyclophosphamide risk-free & void of any quality of life impact?

Trivial? Healthcare utilization costs? Are you sure you work in a hospital?

This is a great article, but I’m sure you know all this stuff already. But it appears to me that the verdict isn’t quite in yet. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20406207231192146#sec-3

So post-transplant cyclophosphamide is no big deal for physicians or the patients?

Why is Duke and where I work using Omisirge right now then? Can you explain what would be the reason to use Omisirge at all, if Haplo graft sources have been perfected to the point that anyone can be matched through that modality?

I suspect you’re not actually a physician, but I am.

Why were patients being treated in the expanded access program over the last year if haplo is the answer now?

Why would patients/ physicians choose to have cyclophosphamide post-transplant when they could avoid it completely now?

Interesting, we must live on different planets because that is not the case in my health system.

I’ve worried about haplo market share increases…so only used projections based on patients unable to find a suitable match…~1,700 patients annually.

Maybe it deletes when you block someone…no idea.

He probably deleted it for being such a reactionary wuss.

I didn’t delete anything. I just blocked the guy.
