Filter by:RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy drugs and total-body irradiation before a donor bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, to the donor helps the stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well a G-CSF-treated donor bone marrow transplant works in treating patients with hematologic cancer or noncancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. An autologous stem cell transplant using the patient's stem cells may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Giving white blood cells from a donor may help the patient's body destroy any remaining cancer cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate the white blood cells to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of donor white blood cell infusions and interleukin-2 and to see how well they work in treating patients who are undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant for relapsed advanced lymphoid cancer.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of infliximab in reducing the incidence of grade II-IV acute graft versus host disease by day +100 post-transplant in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
This study will evaluate the response rate to treatment with pentostatin in steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease.
A study to assess efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of a tacrolimus new oral formulation (MR4) in de novo bone marrow transplant recipients
To assess safety and efficacy of the patients with MR4 therapy in GVHD prophylaxis study who are eligible for the administration after 100 days post transplant (up to 1 year)
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of palifermin versus placebo in the reduction of severe acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) and severe oral mucositis.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of transplanting CD34+ selected hematopoietic cells from a haploidentical related donor following a nonmyeloablative regimen of total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) and antithymocyte globulin (ATG).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether orale budesonide is effective in the prevention of acute gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following allogenic stem cell transplantation.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) in the treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children.
