Figure 1. Study schema. (a) Cy 60 mg/kg per day, TBI total dose 13.2 Gy, fractionated as 165 cGy twice daily for 4 days; (b) busulfan 1 mg/kg per dose given 4 times daily, Cy 60 mg/kg per day; (c) GVHD prophylaxis: cyclosporine A (in the Cy/TBI group) or cyclosporine A or tacrolimus (in the Bu/Cy group) starting day –3 in combination with methotrexate 15 mg/m2, IV bolus on day +1 and methotrexate 10 mg/m2, IV bolus on days 3, 6, and 11; (d) filgrastim 5 μg/kg per day from 24 hours after transplantation until neutrophil recovery (absolute neutrophil count [ANC], 1 × 109/L for 3 consecutive days, or 10 × 109/L for 1 day, whichever occurred first).
