In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), Anti-T-Lymphocyte Globulin (ATLG) may be used for the prevention of severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). ATLG targets both the recipient’s lymphocytes and those transferred with the graft. Assuming an inverse relation between the recipient’s absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and exposure of remaining ATLG to the graft, the aim is to evaluate the impact of the recipient’s ALC before the first ATLG administration on the benefits (prevention of GVHD and GVHD-associated mortality) and potential risks (increased relapse incidence) associated with ATLG.
