Primary outcomePrimary: Changes in the Number of Recent Thymic Emigrants (RTE) Cluster of Differentiation (CD)4 T Cells in the Blood — -2; -22 cells per microliter of blood
Summary
RATIONALE: Growth factors, such as palifermin, may prevent chronic graft-versus-host disease caused by donor stem cell transplant.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial studies palifermin in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer
