About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Graft-Versus-Host Disease focused on measuring Corticosteroids

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Must have biopsy proven grade II-IV acute GVHD refractory to systemic corticosteroids No chronic GVHD Age ≥ 18 years Evidence of myeloid engraftment (ANC ≥ 0.5 x 109/l) Performance status 0-3 Exclusion Criteria: Patients on mechanical ventilation or who have resting O2 saturation <90% by pulse-oximetry. Patients on renal dialysis or who have an estimated creatinine clearance of < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2. Patients with documented clinical infection (progressive symptoms despite antibiotics or continued fever) cannot be enrolled on study until infection is controlled.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Pentostatin

Arm Description

Pentostatin is given at a dose of 1.5 mg/m2/day IV x 3 consecutive days. Each IV infusion of pentostatin will be administered over 20-30 minutes in 100-250 ml of D5W or NS.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Evaluate the response rate (complete and partial) to treatment with pentostatin in steroid-refractory acute GVHD (graft-versus-host disease).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Investigate the pharmacokinetics of pentostatin in patients with acute GVHD to correlate the response with area under the curve (AUC).
