Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Pentostatin

Pentostatin is given at a dose of 1.5 mg/m2/day IV x 3 consecutive days. Each IV infusion of pentostatin will be administered over 20-30 minutes in 100-250 ml of D5W or NS.

Drug: Pentostatin
Pentostatin is given at a dose of 1.5 mg/m2/day IV x 3 consecutive days. Each IV infusion of pentostatin will be administered over 20-30 minutes in 100-250 ml of D5W or NS. To prevent nephrotoxicity, patients will also receive 500 ml normal saline as pre- and post drug hydration (total 1000 ml).

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Evaluate the response rate (complete and partial) to treatment with pentostatin in steroid-refractory acute GVHD (graft-versus-host disease). [up to 2 years]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Investigate the pharmacokinetics of pentostatin in patients with acute GVHD to correlate the response with area under the curve (AUC). [up to 2 years]
