Total-Body Irradiation, Thiotepa, and Fludarabine in Treating Young Patients Who Are Undergoing a Donor Stem Cell Transplant for Hematologic Cancer

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes

In brief

RATIONALE: Chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and thiotepa, and radiation therapy may destroy cancerous blood-forming cells (stem cells) in the blood and bone marrow. Giving healthy stem cells from a donor whose blood closely resembles the patient's blood will help the patient's bone marrow make new stem cells that become red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of total-body irradiation, fludarabine, and thiotepa and to see how well they work in treating young patients who are undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer.
