Donor Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Disorders Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, travels to or treatment with a real dr.. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD on Donor Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Disorders conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Donor Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Disorders Clinical research trials and Donor Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Disorders medical trials occur in many of places across the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectiveness of new does drugs. The role of the studies / undertakings is to figure out certain human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to locate treatments for all forms of circumstances, including Donor Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Disorders. Donor Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Disorders Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to get medical treatment options before they are available to the masses. Most times the human subjects acquire treatment for free of charge, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Donor Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Disorders clinical trial. Participants oftentimes recieve the finest healthcare available for their Donor Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Disorders condition. Dangers are a reality, nonetheless, and might include extra or frequent physician calls, health hazards (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Donor Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Disorders



Donor Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Disorders

For Condition: chronic leukemia,acute leukemia,atypical chronic myeloid leukemia,myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disease,chronic myeloproliferative disorders
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells are rejected by the body's normal tissues. Mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine, and donor white blood cells may prevent this rejection. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of donor stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have myelodysplastic syndrome or myeloproliferative disorder.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the efficacy of non-myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from related and unrelated donors in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or myeloproliferative disorders. - Determine the safety profile of this regimen, in terms of incidence of graft-vs-host disease, graft rejection, and non-relapse mortality, in these patients. - Determine the efficacy of a strategy for donor lymphocyte infusion based primarily on defined criteria of persistent or progressive disease in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to donor status (related vs unrelated). - Conditioning:Patients receive fludarabine IV over 30 minutes once daily on days -4 to -2. Patients undergo total body irradiation on day 0. - Related Donor:Patients receive oral cyclosporine twice daily beginning on day -3 followed by a taper beginning on day 56 and continuing until day 81 or day 177 in the absence of graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). Patients also receive oral mycophenolate mofetil twice daily on days 0-27. - Unrelated Donor:Patients receive oral cyclosporine twice daily beginning on day -3 followed by a taper beginning on day 100 and continuing until day 180 in the absence of GVHD. Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil three times daily beginning on day 0 followed by a taper beginning on day 40 and continuing until day 96. - Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT): Patients undergo AHSCT transplantation on day 0. - Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI): Eligible patients (at least mixed hematopoietic chimerism, no GVHD, and persistent or progressive disease) may receive DLI IV over 30 minutes beginning 1-2 weeks after immunosuppression. Patients may receive up to 3 infusions. Patients are followed at months 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 200 patients (100 per stratum) will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
