Human Lysozyme Goat Milk in Treating Patients With Blood Cancer Undergoing Donor Stem Cell Transplant

• Status: Withdrawn
• Trial end date: 2022-12-30
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This randomized pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of human lysozyme goat milk in treating patients with blood cancer undergoing a donor stem cell transplant. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving human lysozyme goat milk to patients undergoing a donor stem cell transplant may stop this from happening.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: City of Hope Medical Center
• Collaborator: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
• Treatments: Cyclophosphamide; Etoposide; Etoposide phosphate; Everolimus; Mitogens; Muramidase; Podophyllotoxin; Sirolimus; Tacrolimus
