Immunosuppressive prophylaxis is usually given to decrease the development of acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Belatacept is a Cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte‐associated protein 4, blocking agent, an immunosuppressive agent used for organ rejection prevention in adult renal transplant recipients.
