INCLUSION CRITERIA:

Histologic diagnosis:

Patients must be:

• ≥ 6 months since allogeneic stem cell transplant prior to enrollment with no evidence of active graft vs. host disease.
• ≥ 3 months since autologous stem cell transplant prior to enrollment.

Neurologic Status

• Patients with neurological deficits should have deficits that are stable for a minimum of 7 days prior to enrollment.
• Patients with seizure disorders may be enrolled if seizures are well controlled.

Performance Status

• Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS for > 16 years of age) or Lansky Performance Score (LPS for ≤ 16 years of age) assessed within two weeks of enrollment must be ≥ 50.

Organ Function: Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:

• Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 x 10^9 cells/ L
• Platelets > 100 x 10^9 cells/ L (unsupported, defined as no platelet transfusion within 7 days)
• Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (may receive transfusions)
• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
• ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT) < 3 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Albumin ≥ 2 g/dL
• Serum creatinine based on age/gender as noted in institutional normal range. Patients that are not within institutional normal range but have a 24-hour Creatinine Clearance or GFR (radioisotope or iothalamate) ≥ 70 mL/min/1.73 m^2 are eligible.

Corticosteroids

• Patients who are receiving dexamethasone must be on a stable or decreasing dose for at least 7 days prior to enrollment.

Growth Factors

• Patients must be off all colony-forming growth factor(s) for at least 7 days prior to enrollment (e.g., filgrastim, sargramostim or erythropoietin). Fourteen (14) days must have elapsed if patient received a long-acting formulation.

Pregnancy Prevention

• Patients of childbearing or child fathering potential must be willing to use a medically acceptable form of birth control, which includes abstinence, while being treated on this study.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

Pregnancy or Breast-feeding

• Pregnant women or nursing mothers are excluded from this study. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.

  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women are excluded from this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal studies.

Concurrent Illness

• Patients with any clinically significant unrelated systemic illness (e.g., serious infections or significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic or other organ dysfunction), that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate protocol therapy, put them at additional risk for toxicity or would interfere with the study procedures or results.

• Patients with any other current malignancy.

Allergy

• Patients with a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition.
• Patients with a history of allergy to pork products due to contraindications with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH).

Thrombosis Risk
