Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the main curative treatment for hematological malignancy. Relapse, graft versus host disease (GVHD) and graft failure are the main causes of treatment failure. Acetylcysteine (NAC) was found to be able to enhance defective HSCs by repairing dysfunctional bone marrow endothelial cells, and overcome the exhaustion of HSCs and enhance the engraftment of HSCs. Decitabine could restore bone marrow microenvironment by repairing endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells, as well as cytokines and chemokines which are crucial to HSCs proliferation and differentiation, thereby promote platelet recovery after HSCT. Besides, decitabine therapy was shown to be associated with reduced incidence of GVHD, lower relapse rate, and increased overall survival in several studies. Thereby the investigators will conduct this clinical trial to evaluate the hematopoietic reconstitution, GVHD and relapse rate of patients with hematological malignancy after allo-HSCT with decitabine containing conditional regimen and NAC treatment.
