Stem Cell Transplant for Patients With Blood Malignancy Using Donors and Less Toxic Chemotherapy With CAMPATH 1H

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2004-11-12
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

1. To assess the treatment related mortality of allogeneic stem cell transplantation with non-myeloablative therapy incorporating the lymphodepleting MAb CAMPATH-1H, in patients with hematological diseases and renal cell carcinoma not eligible for conventional (myeloablative) therapy.

2. To assess the time to engraftment and incidence of graft failure in patients receiving this transplant regimen.

3. To assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and immunologic activity of CAMPATH-1H when used as part of a subablative conditioning regimen.
