About this trial
A pilot single center randomized trial to test whether a full-scale RCT evaluating the role of post-AHSCT maintenance immunosuppression with MMF in preventing disease relapse is feasible .
We are studying whether a brief course of treatment with MMF after AHSCT will serve to prevent disease relapse.
