Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Gemcitabine with Busulfan + Melphalan

    MTD defined as dose level where one of two participants enrolled at a given time have no dose limiting toxcities (DLT) at that dose level. Continual reassessment from baseline for DLT, monitored daily during hospitalization, weekly to Day 30 and monthly to Day 100. Dose level assessed with each 21-day dose escalation cycle, Gemcitabine delivered Day -8 to Day -5 of 21 day cycle.

    Baseline to Day 100 post transplant, up to 115 days
