Filter by:Background: People living with HIV(PLWH) are at a higher risk for cancers that may be curable with a bone marrow transplant. HIV infection itself is no longer a reason to not get a transplant, for patients who otherwise have a standard reason to need transplant. Objective: This study is being done to see if a new combination of drugs (cyclophosphamide, maraviroc, and bortezomib) is both safe and effective at protecting against graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplant. The study will also test the transplant s impact on your survival and control of your cancer. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older living with HIV and a blood cancer that is eligible for a transplant. Healthy family members aged 12 or older who are half matched to transplant recipients are also needed to donate bone marrow. Design: The study will be done in 2 phases. The first phase will be to see if we can safely use a new combination of drugs to prevent GVHD. If the combination is safe in the first phase, the study will proceed to the second phase. In the second phase, we will see if this new combination can better protect against GVHD after transplant. Participants will be screened. Their diagnoses, organ function and eligibility will be confirmed. Participants will have a catheter inserted into a vein in their chest or neck. Medications and transfusions will be given through the catheter; blood will be drawn from it. Participants will be in the hospital for 6 weeks or longer. They will receive various drugs for 2 weeks to prep their body for the transplant. The transplant cells will be administered through the catheter. Participants will continue to receive drug treatments after the transplant. Blood transfusions may also be needed. Participants will return 1-2 times per week for follow-up visits for 3 months after discharge. Participants will have visits 6, 12, 18, 24 months after transplant, then once a year for 5 years.
The primary objective is to determine overall survival 180 days after transplantation involving HLA-haploidentical stem cell/bone marrow graft, and post-transplant Cy.
