Brief summary

This study is evaluating whether treatment with cyclophosphamide can prevent the development of graft-versus-host disease after matched (HLA-identical) allogeneic donor transplant in patients with a haematological malignancy. Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged between 15-70 years and have been diagnosed with a high risk haematological malignancy suitable for treatment with an allogeneic transplant. You should have a suitable HLA-matched related donor or unrelated volunteer donor identified and available. Study details All participants in this study will receive 50mg/kg of Cyclophosphamide on Day 3 and Day 4 post allogeneic transplant. This drug will be administered intravenously (i.e. into the vein) over 1 hour. Participants will be followed up at 100 days, 1 year, and 2 years post transplant in order to determine rates of graft-versus-host disease. This will be compared to data collected previously in patients who received transplants using Reduced Intensity Condition (RIC) therapy and unrelated donors to determine relative effectiveness.
