Treatment Study
Summary
Study start date: February 1, 1995
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients with HLA-identical donors receive cyclophosphamide/mesna, antithymocyte globulin (ATG), and methylprednisolone (MePRDL), followed by allogeneic marrow transplantation. Patients with HLA-nonidentical (5/6 or 4/6) donors and those with a systemic reaction to ATG receive the same dosage of myeloablative chemotherapy and rescue. In addition, these patients are treated with total-body irradiation, total-lymphoid irradiation, and methotrexate. All patients received MePRDL and cyclosporine for graft-versus-host prophylaxis.
