Full Title
Randomized Phase II Trial of Bulk Versus Fractionated Stem Cell Infusions in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies Undergoing Stem Cell Transplantation
Purpose
Stem cell transplantation — giving stem cells from a donor to a patient — is a means of treating certain hematologic cancers (such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma). The purpose of this study is to see if giving donor stem cells over several days helps the blood and immune systems recover more quickly than when stem cells are given all in one day (the conventional approach). Laboratory studies have suggested that recovery of the blood and immune systems may be faster when stem cells are infused over several days.
Patients in this study will be randomly assigned to receive stem cells in one day or over four days.
