Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the efficacy of oral BDP for prevention of acute GVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with myeloablative conditioning regimens.

OUTLINE:

Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive oral beclomethasone dipropionate 4 times daily beginning at the start of the conditioning regimen and continuing through day 75 post-transplant. Patients also receive a standard immunosuppressive regimen comprising tacrolimus and methotrexate post-transplant.

ARM II: Patients receive oral placebo 4 times daily beginning at the start of the conditioning regimen and continuing through day 75 post-transplant. Patients also receive a standard immunosuppressive regimen comprising tacrolimus and methotrexate post-transplant.

In both arms, treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
