Name Time Method Main Objective: To compare standard GvHD prophylaxis consisting of cyclosporine A and methotrexate with standard GvHD prophylaxis plus pre-transplant ATG-FRESENIUS S with respect to efficacy and safety.;Secondary Objective: Time to onset of acute GvHD (grade I-IV, II-IV, III-IV), incidence and severity of infections until day +100, time to engraftment, incidence of chronic GvHD (limited and extensive, extensive) over time, disease free survival, incidence of relapse over time, incidence of death without relapse over time, overall survival, safety and tolerability.;Primary end point(s): Early treatment failure defined by the occurrence of severe acute GvHD (°III-°IV) or early mortality within 100 days post transplantation.
