Summary

The purpose of this study is to (1) demonstrate the efficacy and safety (toxicity) of 25 mg/kg/day of Defibrotide in patients with severe veno-occlusive disease (sVOD) and (2) evaluate serum and endothelial markers of veno-occlusive disease (VOD) through the analysis of blood samples.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Clinical diagnosis of VOD, defined by jaundice (bilirubin >/= 2 mg/dL) and at least 2 of the following clinical findings, by Day+21 post stem cell transplant: ascites; weight gain >/= 5% above baseline weight; hepatomegaly.
  • Severe VOD, defined as VOD with multi-organ failure, i.e., presence of one or both of the following, by Day+28 post stem cell transplant: renal or pulmonary dysfunction.
  • Provide voluntary written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Pre-existing (prior to SCT) cirrhosis
  • An alternative diagnosis for weight gain, ascites and jaundice
  • Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grade B or higher involving liver or gut or grade C or higher involving skin
  • Prior solid organ transplant
  • Dependent on dialysis prior to and/or at the time of SCT
  • Dependent on oxygen supplementation prior to SCT
  • Significant acute bleeding or hemodynamic instability
  • Requirement for the use of any medications that increase risk of hemorrhage will be excluded from the treatment group
