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 volunteersQualifiers
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.
Trial design
Sequential
Treatments tested in this trial
Cyclophosphamide
DrugCyclophosphamide will be administered at 50, 40, 32, or 25 mg/k/d intravenous infusion (IV) continuously for two days starting 60-72 hours after transplant.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Maximum grade acute GVHD by day +100 by Modified Keystone Criteria
Evaluate the frequency of grade III/IV acute GVHD using Modified Keystone Criteria
Secondary outcomes
Time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment
Days to neutrophil and platelet engraftment since transplant
Non-Relapse mortality
Rate of treatment-related mortality
Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) at 1 year
* Rate and severity of patients with chronic GVHD at day 365 post-transplantation. * Chronic GVHD is when the donated stem cells attack the body after 100 days post-transplant. Chronic GVHD is defined by NIH Consensus Criteria for chronic GVHD.
Relapse
Percentage of patients who relapse by year 1
