Summary

New conditioning regimens are still needed to maximize efficacy and limit treatment-related deaths of allogeneic transplantation for advanced hematologic malignancies. Over the past several years, the investigators have evaluated several new conditioning regimens that incorporate fludarabine, a novel immunosuppressant that has limited toxicity and that has synergistic activity with alkylating agents. Recent data have suggested that fludarabine may be used in combination with standard doses of oral or IV busulfan, thus reducing the toxicity previously observed with cyclophosphamide/ busulfan regimens.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients with the following diseases:
  • Acute myeloid or lymphocytic leukemia in first remission at standard or high-risk for recurrence.
  • Acute leukemia in greater than or equal to second remission, or with early relapse, or partial remission.
  • Chronic myelogenous leukemia in accelerated phase or blast-crisis.
  • Chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase
  • Recurrent or refractory malignant lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease
  • Multiple myeloma.
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, relapsed or with poor prognostic features.
  • Myeloproliferative disorder (polycythemia vera, myelofibrosis) with poor prognostic features.
  • Severe aplastic anemia after failure of immunosuppressive therapy.
