Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of palifermin on reducing mucositis for patients receiving autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation with supportive care.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Palifermin The patients belong to this arm will be given palifermin, keratinocyte growth factor, in addition to the conventional supportive care for oral mucositis. Palifermin will be given at a dose of 60 mcg/kg for 3 days before commencement of the preparative regimen and for 3 days after stem cell infusion |
Drug: Palifermin
|
Placebo Comparator: Normal saline The patients belong to this arm will be given normal saline as placebo plus conventional supportive care for oral mucositis. Normal saline will be given at the same volume and schedule with the study drug. |
