Study Arms (2)

Vitamin A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Route of administration: Oral. Frequency: Once. Timing: Pre-transplant Dose of Vit A: 1.2 mg/kg, max dose 75 mg Formulation of Vit A: 2.5 mg liquid filled oral capsules. Vitamin A level assessment: Vitamin A levels will be measured pre-transplant and again at day +30 (± 10 days)

Drug: Vitamin A

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Placebo pills containing microcrystalline cellulose will be dispensed in patients who are randomized to the placebo arm.

Other: Placebo

Interventions

Enrolled subjects will receive one observed oral vitamin A dose, prior to their HSCT, in the outpatient clinic or inpatient Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) floor.
