May 31, 2017 updated by: Laura Johnston, Stanford University

Sirolimus and Mycophenolate Mofetil as GvHD Prophylaxis in Myeloablative, Matched Related Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

A continuation study of sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis for patients undergoing matched related allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute and chronic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), high risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)

Study Overview

Detailed Description

To explore the novel combination of sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) prevention in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) or marrow transplantation (BMT), collectively hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This study will report the toxicities associated with this drug combination.

For all treatments and procedures, Study Day is based on the day of HSCT as Day 0.
