Donor Stem Cell Transplant Followed by Cyclophosphamide in Treating Patients With Hematological Diseases
Graft Versus Host Disease, Hematopoietic/Lymphoid Cancer
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Graft Versus Host Disease
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of a hematological malignancy requiring an allogeneic stem cell transplant consistent with the standard of care
- Remission of any acute hematologic malignancy or adequate disease control for chronic malignancies.
- Ages 18-69 years old.
- Available familial haploidentical (4 to 6 out of 8 HLA loci-matched) donor
Exclusion Criteria:
- Significant organ dysfunction defined as: LV EF < 50% (evaluated by echocardiogram or MRI), DLCO or FEV1 < 65% predicted, AST/ALT > 2.5 x ULN, Bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN, Serum creatinine > 2mg/dL, dialysis, or prior renal transplant
- HIV positive (Recipients who are positive for hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) or human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-I/II) are not excluded from participation)
- Positive pregnancy test for women of childbearing age.
- Major anticipated illness or organ failure incompatible with survival form transplant.
- Severe psychiatric illness or mental deficiency sufficiently severe as to make compliance with the transplant treatment unlikely and informed consent impossible.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Treatment (stem cell transplant with GVHD prophylaxis)
PREPARATIVE REGIMEN: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate IV QD on days -6 to -2. Patients receiving myeloablative conditioning receive busulfan IV every 6 hours for 16 doses on days -7 to -4 and patients receiving reduced intensity conditioning receive busulfan IV every 6 hours for 8 doses on days -5 to -4. Patients also receive cyclophosphamide IV QD on days -3 and -2 TRANSPLANT: Patients undergo stem cell transplant on day 0. GVHD PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive cyclophosphamide QD on days 3 and 4, tacrolimus on days 5-180, and mycophenolate mofetil on days 5-35. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
