NCT00803010

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of Tacrolimus and Rapamycin to Tacrolimus and Methotrexate in the prevention of severe graft-versus-host-disease. Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) is a risk associated with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT). An allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant is a transplant using bone marrow and blood cells that come from someone other than the patient (a donor).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants With Evidence of Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (aGVHD), Post Transplant

    Incidence of acute graft versus host disease grades 2-3 according to the Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 3. Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) is a risk associated with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT). Clinical evidence of acute GVHD was recorded per standard grading scheme. Acute GVHD classified as the following: 1. classic acute GVHD - onset within 100 days after transplant 2. persistent - acute GVHD with onset prior to day 100 and without resolution beyond day 100 3. recurrent - acute GVHD recurrent after prior episode of acute GVHD 4. late acute GVHD - syndrome consistent with acute GVHD, without features of chronic GVHD, with onset occurring beyond 100 days

    100 Days Post Transplant

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Incidence of Increased Absolute Numbers of Regulatory T Cells (Treg)

    30 days and 90 days

  • 2 Year Post Transplant Overall Survival (OS) Rate

    2 years

Study Arms (2)

Tacrolimus / Rapamycin (TAC/RAPA)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Tacrolimus: beginning 3 days before transplant and given for at least 50 days. Rapamycin: given the day before transplant and continued daily for at least one year.

Drug: Tacrolimus (TAC)Drug: Rapamycin (RAPA)

Tacrolimus / Methotrexate (TAC/MTX)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Tacrolimus: beginning 3 days before transplant and given for at least 50 days. Methotrexate: given on days 1, 3, 6 and 11, after transplant.

Drug: Tacrolimus (TAC)Drug: Methotrexate (MTX)

Interventions

Tacrolimus: administered at 0.02 mg/kg/day (based on ideal body weight) continuous IV infusion or equivalent oral dosing starting on day -3.

Also known as: FK-506, fujimycin, Prograf, Advagraf, Protopic
Tacrolimus / Methotrexate (TAC/MTX)Tacrolimus / Rapamycin (TAC/RAPA)

Methotrexate: administered on day 1 at dose of 15 mg/m\^2, and a dose of 10 mg/m\^2 on days 3, 6, and 11. Dose can be adjusted for reduced creatinine clearance.

Also known as: Trexall, Rheumatrex
Tacrolimus / Methotrexate (TAC/MTX)

Rapamycin: initially as 9 mg oral loading dose on day -1. Thereafter, administered as an oral regimen of 4 mg daily.

Also known as: Sirolimus
Tacrolimus / Rapamycin (TAC/RAPA)
