We aren't physicians. Always confer with your dr. on Low-Dose Total-Body Irradiation, Fludarabine, and Alemtuzumab Followed By Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myeloproliferative Disorder or Myelodysplastic Syndrome conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Low-Dose Total-Body Irradiation, Fludarabine, and Alemtuzumab Followed By Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myeloproliferative Disorder or Myelodysplastic Syndrome Clinical research trials and Low-Dose Total-Body Irradiation, Fludarabine, and Alemtuzumab Followed By Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myeloproliferative Disorder or Myelodysplastic Syndrome medical trials happen in hundreds of localities throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically measure the effectualness of new does drugs. The intent of the studies / undertakings is to answer particular human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for physicians, government agencies, and private sector corporations to find cures for all kinds of circumstances, like Low-Dose Total-Body Irradiation, Fludarabine, and Alemtuzumab Followed By Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myeloproliferative Disorder or Myelodysplastic Syndrome. Low-Dose Total-Body Irradiation, Fludarabine, and Alemtuzumab Followed By Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myeloproliferative Disorder or Myelodysplastic Syndrome Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to acquire healthcare treatment options before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects acquire professional assistance for free, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Low-Dose Total-Body Irradiation, Fludarabine, and Alemtuzumab Followed By Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myeloproliferative Disorder or Myelodysplastic Syndrome clinical trial. Participants frequently obtain the most expert healthcare available for their Low-Dose Total-Body Irradiation, Fludarabine, and Alemtuzumab Followed By Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myeloproliferative Disorder or Myelodysplastic Syndrome condition. Dangers are a reality, nevertheless, and can include more or frequent doctor calls, health risks (potentially life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Low-Dose Total-Body Irradiation, Fludarabine, and Alemtuzumab Followed By Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Myeloproliferative Disorder or Myelodysplastic Syndrome
For Condition: de novo myelodysplastic syndromes,previously treated myelodysplastic syndromes,Essential Thrombocythemia,secondary myelodysplastic syndromes,Polycythemia Vera,chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Baylor College of Medicine ,
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells reject the body's normal tissues. Alemtuzumab may prevent this from happening. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining low-dose total-body irradiation and fludarabine with alemtuzumab followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have myeloproliferative disorder or myelodysplastic syndrome.
Details: OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine the safety and feasibility of a submyeloablative conditioning regimen comprising low-dose total body irradiation, fludarabine, and alemtuzumab in patients receiving allogeneic stem cell infusion for myeloproliferative disorders or myelodysplastic syndromes, as defined by non-relapse mortality and graft rejection at day 100 after transplantation. Secondary - Determine complete remission at day 100 in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine 1-year disease-free survival in patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. - Conditioning: Patients undergo low-dose total body irradiation on day -6. Patients receive fludarabine IV over 30 minutes and alemtuzumab IV over 2 hours on days -5 to -2. - Transplantation: Allogeneic stem cells are infused on day 0. Patients are followed monthly for 1 year, then every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 44 patients will be accrued for this study.
