Clinical Trial Details for Study "GCC 0911"

Official Title: Study of Fludarabine Based Conditioning for Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation for Myelofibrosis

Investigator: Saul Yanovich, M.D.

Summary: Allogeneic transplant provides the only curative approach for MMM patients; however, in studies where standard myeloablative preparative radio/chemotherapy regimes were used a high transplant related mortality (TRM) was observed. TRM and recurrence of disease account for the majority of treatment failures in allogeneic transplantation for advanced chematologic malignancies. For patients with advanced myelofibrosis disease a reduced intensity conditioning regimen offers these patients a potential for cure with limited toxicities. The primary objective is to estimate progression free survival and overall survival of patients with myelofibrosis undergoing an allogeneic HSC transplant prepared with a reduced intensity conditioning regimen.
