Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and safety of early cessation of tacrolimus following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Post-HCT tacrolimus is given to prevent graft-vs-host-disease (GVHD), but with the use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), the modern approach to GVHD prevention, GVHD rates have reduced markedly.

Conditions

  • GVHD
  • Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)
  • Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
  • Myelodysplastic Syndromes
  • Myelofibrosis (MF)
  • Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
  • Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML)

Interventions

DRUG

Tacrolimus

Tacrolimus is initiated on Day 5 post-HCT and transitioned to oral dosing once therapeutic levels are achieved. Oral tacrolimus is given in 0.5 mg increments up to twice daily. Levels are monitored several times weekly to target a trough of 5-10 ng/mL.

OTHER

Early Tacrolimus Taper Strategy

Eligible participants begin a taper on Day 60 (±5 days), reducing the tacrolimus dose by \~20% weekly, rounded to 0.5 mg, with planned discontinuation by Day 88 (±5 days). Tapering stops if significant acute GVHD develops or if unsafe.
