Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with Blood Malignancy Using Donors and Less Toxic Chemotherapy with CAMPATH 1H Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for certified medical advice, visits or professional assistance using a real physician. We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. about Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with Blood Malignancy Using Donors and Less Toxic Chemotherapy with CAMPATH 1H conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with Blood Malignancy Using Donors and Less Toxic Chemotherapy with CAMPATH 1H Clinical research trials and Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with Blood Malignancy Using Donors and Less Toxic Chemotherapy with CAMPATH 1H health trials happen in many of localities throughout the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically measure the effectualness of new drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to resolve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all varieties of circumstances, like Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with Blood Malignancy Using Donors and Less Toxic Chemotherapy with CAMPATH 1H. Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with Blood Malignancy Using Donors and Less Toxic Chemotherapy with CAMPATH 1H Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Some times the participants undergo professional assistance for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with Blood Malignancy Using Donors and Less Toxic Chemotherapy with CAMPATH 1H clinical trial. Human subjects often get the best healthcare available for their Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with Blood Malignancy Using Donors and Less Toxic Chemotherapy with CAMPATH 1H condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include additional or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (potentially life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with Blood Malignancy Using Donors and Less Toxic Chemotherapy with CAMPATH 1H
For Condition: Plasma Cell Dyscrasia,Myelodysplastic Disorders,Leukemia,Multiple Myeloma,Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Baylor College of Medicine , The Methodist Hospital,Texas Children's Hospital
Synopsis: 1) To assess the treatment related mortality of allogeneic stem cell transplantation with non-myeloablative therapy incorporating the lymphodepleting MAb CAMPATH-1H, in patients with hematological diseases and renal cell carcinoma not eligible for conventional (myeloablative) therapy. 2) To assess the time to engraftment and incidence of graft failure in patients receiving this transplant regimen. 3) To assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and immunologic activity of CAMPATH-1H when used as part of a subablative conditioning regimen.
Details: This is a two arm study in which outcomes will be assessed independently in recipients of HLA matched sibling transplants and recipients of unrelated or mismatched family donor transplants, although both groups will receive identical treatments. The following will be given to the patient after admission: Day - 6: Total body irradiation Day - 5 to - 2: Fludarabine and Campath 1H Day - 1: Day of rest Day 0: Stem cell transplant (infusion)
