Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been uniquely affected as this virus may not only severely impact the immunocompromised recipient but also the potential stem cell donor. 1 The challenge of COVID-19 and hematopoietic cell transplantation; EBMT recommendations for management of hematopoietic cell transplant recipients, their donors, and patients undergoing CAR T-cell therapy Clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 in haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation recipients: an observational cohort study Potential niche indications for blinatumomab as a bridge to hematopoietic cell transplantation T-Cell replete myeloablative haploidentical bone marrow transplantation is an effective option for pediatric and young adult patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies Haploidentical bone marrow transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide/ bendamustine in pediatric and young adult patients with hematologic malignancies
