About this trial

The purpose of this phase 1 study is to determine the optimal dose of the immune suppressive drug, cyclophosphamide, following standard allogeneic stem cell transplant in patients aged \>/= 65 years with hematologic malignancies.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient age >/= 65 years

Patient and related Donor (if applicable) sign the Informed Consent Form for the study. If donor is unrelated, donor does not sign Informed Consent Form and this will not affect recipient study eligibility.

Patient meets standard criteria for allogeneic stem cell transplant

Patient is deemed suitable to receive Flu/TBI 800 conditioning regimen as standard of care transplant

Disqualifiers

Patient has a diagnosis of myelofibrosis

Patient has high titer antibodies (>10,000 mean fluorescent intensity) against one or more donor HLA antigens

Patient has undergone prior autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant

Requiring sedation for cardiac MRIs.
