Donor:

  • Healthy family member

  • Sero-positive HIV
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • Active invasive fungal tissue infection (EORTC criteria)
  • 30 days or less since receiving an investigational product or device in another clinical trial

  • Chronic pancreatitis or history of acute pancreatitis within 1 year prior to transplant
  • Psychiatric disorder associated with incompliance
  • Myocardial infarction less than 3 months pre enrolment or EF <30% as measured in echocardiography/laevoventriculography
  • Infusion of retrovirally or other transduced cells are not permitted.
  • Planned intravenous application of immunoglobulins is contraindicated throughout the study period.
  • Donor lymphocyte infusions are not allowed.

Donor:

  • A positive HIV or HTLV-1 test or evidence of active/persistent viral hepatitis infection.
  • Evidence of any other active infection
  • Any medical condition (i.e. insulin-dependent diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, chronic inflammatory diseases) posing a health risk for peripheral blood stem cell harvest
  • Hematopoietic or marrow function related disease interfering with the collection of sufficient numbers of normal progenitor cells
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • Any malignancy besides basal cell epithelioma or cured malignancy < 5 years ago
  • Psychiatric disorder associated with incompliance

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial, where patients with an advanced form of blood cancer are treated with haploidentical allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) transplant after which they are randomised to receive either placebo or a keratinocyte growth factor (Palifermin or Kepivance®). The function of Kepivance® is to stimulate the growth of epithelial cells. This drug has also been suggested to have an ability to help improve the reconstitution, or development, of the immune system after the transplantation. The hypothesis is that the patients T-cell dependent humoral immune response to recall antigen (PrevenarTM) will be higher in in palifermin treated patients than in the placebo control group
