This phase II trial is evaluating whether chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide) post-stem cell infusion will prevent Graft versus Host disease in blood cancer patients requiring a haplo-identical stem cell transplantA phase II study of haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide as Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) prophylaxis

Clinical summary

Summary

All patients will receive peripheral blood stem cell transplant from haploidentical relatives. Patients will either undergo myeloablative or non- myeloablative conditioning treatments prior to receiving stem cell transplants. The conditioning treatment selected is determined by the transplant specialist. Two groups will then receive a treatment aimed at prevention of Graft versus Host disease after stem cell transplant. If you receive myeloablative conditioning treatment, your post-transplant treatment will include cyclophosphamide 50mg/kg administered on day 3 and day 4 after transplant with cyclosporine [dose calculated on body weight] and mycophenolate [dose calculated on body weight ] commencing on day 5 after transplant. If you receive non- myeloablative conditioning treatment, your post-transplant treatment will include cyclophosphamide 50mg/kg administered on day 3 and day 4 after transplant with tacrolimus [dose calculated on body weight] and mycophenolate [dose calculated on body weight] commencing on day 5 after transplant. Total duration of treatment will depend if graft versus host diseas develops and how severe. It is anticiapted adding cyclophosphamide post stem cell infusion will prevent Graft versus Host disease or affect the rate of acute and chronic Graft versus Host disease.
