A Phase II Trial of a Chemotherapy Based Regimen of Intravenous Busulfan (Busulfex), Melphalan and Thiotepa as Myeloablative Regimen Followed by a T- Cell Depleted Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant From and HLA-Compatible Donor in the Treatment of High Risk Ewing's Sarcoma Family Tumors
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating graft versus host disease prophylaxis/therapy, busulfan, and 5 other interventions for Sarcoma. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as busulfan, melphalan, and thiotepa, before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of tumor cells and prepares the patient's bone marrow for the 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. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal tissues. Giving tacrolimus, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving busulfan together with melphalan and thiotepa followed by a donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with high-risk Ewing's tumors.
