A Phase I/II Dose Escalation Trial of Clofarabine, in Addition to Melphalan and Thiotepa as Myeloablative Regimen Followed by an Allogeneic Unmodified Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant From HLA-Compatible Related or Unrelated Donors for the Treatment of High Risk and/or Advanced Hematologic Malignancies
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating filgrastim, clofarabine, and 7 other interventions for Graft Versus Host Disease and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 38 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as clofarabine, melphalan, and thiotepa, before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells. It also 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. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil before the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of clofarabine when given together with melphalan and thiotepa, followed by a donor stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with high-risk and/or advanced hematologic cancer or other disease.
