Study Completion Date:	October 2003

Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental 24 microgram/kg/hr for 96 hours (+ or - 1 hour)	Drug: Drotrecogin Alfa (activated)

Detailed Description:

The purpose of this study is to determine how Drotrecogin Alfa (activated) will affect leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma patients who develop sever sepsis within 60 days of starting chemotherapy in preparation for bone marrow transplant (BMT). The study will evaluate the safety of Xigris by assessing the risk of serious bleeding events, including bleeding within the brain and serious bleeding leading to death.
