Anti-Human CD45 Monoclonal Antibodies in Patients With Advanced Leukemia Prior to Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2009-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Participants in this study have a hematologic malignancy which is a disorder in the bone marrow that affects the body's ability to create blood. Participants might benefit from receiving an allogeneic stem cell transplant (meaning the cells come from a donor). The participants donor is a family member. Stem cells are cells in the bone marrow and blood that can form a whole new blood system.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

2. Patients must have a suitable HLA identical sibling donor or 5/6 matched related donor, or fully matched or 5/6 matched unrelated donor, or haploidentical related donor.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with a life expectancy (2X normal for age) 7. Patients with known allergy to rat serum products 8. Patients with a Lansky score <60% or Karnofsky score <60%. 9. Patients with severe infection that on evaluation by the PI precludes ablative radio/chemotherapy or successful transplantation. 10. Patients with sever personality disorder or mental illness. 11.
