Eligibility for the Control Arm
Patients in the control arm will be identified from patients reported to the CIBMTR from U.S centers. Control patients will be required to satisfy similar eligibility requirements as patients being enrolled in the clinical trial. Patients will need to fulfill the same inclusion criteria for the clinical trial according to Section 2.4.1, plus the following:
1. Receive Tac/MTX as the sole GVHD prophylaxis approach
2. Receive the same regimens as specified in Table 2.5
3. Year of transplant from 2010 to 2013
Exclusion criteria for the controls:
1\. Karnofsky Performance Score \< 70%
Data for all eligible patients will be used to constitute the control database for this study
