Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

OBJECTIVES: I. Confirm the efficacy demonstrated in a pilot study using high dose cyclophosphamide in patients with severe aplastic anemia.

II. Determine whether the addition of filgrastim (G-CSF) to high dose cyclophosphamide shortens the time to recovery in these patients.

III. Determine whether this regimen is efficacious in treating paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients receive high dose cyclophosphamide IV on days 1-4. Beginning on day 10, patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) until the absolute neutrophil count is greater than 1,000/mm3 for 2 consecutive days.

Patients are followed every 3 months for at least 2 years and annually thereafter.
