Brief Summary

To determine if rituximab administered after allogeneic transplantation decreases the incidence of chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGvHD)

Detailed Description

To test if prophylactic anti-B-cell therapy (weekly rituximab) given within 60 to 90 days after allogeneic transplantation will decrease allogeneic donor B-cell immunity and possibly the incidence of ...

  • Lactating
  • Serious uncontrolled infection
  • HIV seropositivity
  • Hepatitis B or C seropositivity
  • Cardiac function: ejection fraction \< 40% or uncontrolled cardiac failure
  • Pulmonary: Diffusing capacity - carbon monoxide (DLCO) \< 50% predicted
  • Liver function abnormalities: elevation of bilirubin to ≥ 3 mg/dL and/or AST \> 100
  • Renal: creatinine \> 2.4
