Phase II Study Evaluating Busulfan and Fludarabine as Preparative Therapy in Adults With Hematopoietic Disorders Undergoing MUD SCT

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, Myelodysplasia, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, Severe Aplastic Anemia, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Lymphoproliferative Disease, Multiple Myeloma, Advanced Myeloproliferative Disease

In brief

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of performing unrelated stem cell transplants using intravenous busulfan and fludarabine as preparative therapy and tacrolimus plus methotrexate as the GVHD prophylaxis regimen. The goal is to demonstrate safety, aiming for a transplant related mortality rate (TRM) of \< or equal to 40% at 100 days. A TRM of \> or equal to 60% will be considered unacceptable. Another goal is to demonstrate efficacy by showing and overall survival of \>40% at 1-year following transplant.

• Age >15 and <61
• ECOG PS < or equal to 2
• Adequate renal function with serum creatinine <2.0 mg/dl

Patients with hepatitis C and active hepatitis B are eligible only if a liver biopsy is performed and there is < or equal to grade 2 inflammation. Patients wtih a history of HBV infection should be tested for HBeAg, antiHBe and HBV DNA (quantitative). Patients with active HBV viral replication should receive anti-viral therapy.
