Abstract Text
This project deals with seven important areas of allogeneic bone marrow
transplantation for hematologic malignancy:
1. We propose to conduct a prospective collaborative trial comparing high
dose chemoradiotherapy and marrow transplantation to chemotherapy for
patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during first complete remission.
2. We will perform a phase II study to decrease the relapse rate in
patients with leukemia by the addition of cyclophosphamide to the
combination of FTBI and VP-16 (acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL) in
first complete remission, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in chronic
phase, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute non-lymphocyte leukemia
not in first remission, chronic myelogenous leukemia not in chronic phase).
3. We will explore the effectiveness of a new preparatory regimen of FTBI,
VP-16 and cyclophosphamide in patients receiving matched unrelated
transplants or partially matched related transplants.
4. We will also study methods of preventing cytomegalovirus pneumonia by
altering the natural history of HCMV infection after allogeneic bone marrow
transplantation.
5. We will determine the effectiveness of a new anti-graft-versus-host
disease regimen of cyclosporin, prednisone and xomazyme in patients
receiving bone marrow allografts from partially matched unrelated or
related donors.
6. We will determine the role of thalidomide in the prevention of chronic
graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
7. We will conduct a randomized trial to determine the efficacy of
methotrexate, cyclosporin and prednisone compared to xomazyme, cyclosporin
and prednisone for patients receiving matched sibling allografts.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
