Trial Information

Postgrafting Methotrexate and Cyclosporine for the Prevention of Graft-Versus-Host Disease


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy of a combination of methotrexate and cyclosporine,
administered after grafting, to prevent the development of acute graft versus host disease
(GVHD) in patients undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

OUTLINE: Patients receive methotrexate IV on days 1,3,6, and 11. Patients also receive
cyclosporine IV twice a day until the patient is eating, then it is administered orally
twice a day. Cyclosporine begins on day -1 and continues until day 180. The dose is reduced
beginning on day 50.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Accrual will continue until further notice.
