To Determine the Role of Adding Campath-1H or ATG Given In-vivo in Addition to Fludarabine and Low Dose Busulfex on Outcome in Patients Treated With Reduced Intensity Conditioning
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Multi-institutional randomized phase III trial of a non-myeloablative preparative regimen with fludarabine and busulfex with or without anti-lymphocyte antibodies (monoclonal humanized Campath-1H administered s.c. or polyclonal rabbit anti-T lymphocyte antibodies (ATG), combined with low dose and short course cyclosporine A (CSA) and methotrexate (MTX) as the sole agent for prevention of graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) for patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation from an HLA compatible donor.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To determine the efficacy of s.c. Campath-1H or ATG in decreasing the incidence and severity of acute and chronic GVHD in patients with AML and MDS treated with non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation. []
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Investigate the role of different conditioning regimens on: []
- Infection, engraftment relapse rate and disease free survival. []
