Participant Flow

Participants were recruited at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The first participant was enrolled in November 2007. Enrollment was halted May 2008 due to an unacceptable rate of acute GVHD. The study reopened in November 2012 with addition of bortezomib. The last participant enrolled May 2013. The study was permanently closed to accural August 2013.

Timeframe: 30 days

Engraftment of donor cells by week 4 after transplantation. Assessment of donor stem cell engraftment will include donor-host hematopoietic chimerism analyses at 4 weeks and every 3 months after transplantation. Chimerism measured from peripheral blood or from bone marrow.

Donor Stem Cell Engraftment, Including Donor-host Hematopoietic Chimerism Studies Post Transplant

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: One patient experienced grade 5 renal toxicity

Renal function will be measured weekly after transplant for 4 weeks, at 8 weeks and then at 3 month intervals from transplantation. Sentinel renal events such as the occurrence of thrombotic microangiopathy will be noted. The rationale for the substitution of mycophenolate mofetil for tacrolimus is to continue to prevent acute GVHD, but minimize renal toxicity after transplantation. We will thus monitor renal toxicity closely in this study. In our previous experience, the rate of grade III-V renal toxicity by day 100 after transplantation was about 10%. Here, grade III is defined as a creatinine level between 3.1 to 6 times the normal level, grade IV is defined as a creatinine level 6 times or more the normal level, and grade V is defined as a fatality due to renal toxicity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: In the Siro/MMF group, the overall number of participants analyzed was 13, however, the number of participants with the MMF level data available varies at each time point. For the Siro/MMF/Bort group, no data were analyzed due to no data available for this Outcome Measure.

This outcome measure was presented as a comparison between incidence of Grade 0-I aGVHD and Grade II-IV aGVHD across 5 time points (Weeks 1,2,3,8, and 12).

Chronic GVHD will be graded according to the modified Seattle criteria. Chronic GVHD divided into limited and extensive and evaluated across the following systems: skin, cutaneous structures, liver, mouth, eyes, esophagus, intestines, lung, musculoskeletal, serous, nervous, urologic, vagina, hematopoietic, and immune. Localized skin involvement with or without hepatic dysfunction is classified as limited disease. Generalized skin involvement or limited disease plus eye involvement, oral involvement, hepatic dysfunction with abnormal liver histology, or involvement of any other target organ was classified as extensive disease.
