Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE1

PHASE2

Brief Summary

The proposed research study is to test the drug vorinostat, in a new use as an additional medication, with other standard treatments for the prevention of severe acute graft versus host disease (GVHD)...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Have a 7/8 or 8/8 HLA A, B, C and DR, HLA-matched related donor willing and able to donate allogeneic stem cells.
  • For patients with multiple myeloma, CLL, and lymphoma: must be in CR, PR, or stable disease.
  • For MDS, acute leukemia or CML: must have \<20% blasts on marrow exam.
  • For all other diseases: must have non-refractory disease.
  • and meet at least ONE of the next three criteria:
  • Any patient ≥ 18 years of age with a hematological malignancy and not considered a candidate for allogeneic myeloablative transplant due to illness and/or age (≥55 years).
  • Any patient ≥ 18 years of age who has relapsed following prior autologous or allogeneic transplant for a hematologic malignancy.
  • Any patient ≥ 18 years of age diagnosed with a hematological malignancy for which reduced intensity transplant is institutionally preferred over myeloablative transplant (eg, chronic lymphocytic leukemia).

Exclusion

  • Less than 18 years of age.
  • Currently taking any HDAC inhibitors, or have taken an HDAC inhibitor within 30 days of the trial.
  • Positive serum tests for HIV, HTLV1 / HTLV2.
  • Detectable hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) or Epstein-Barr (EBV).
  • Pregnancy.
  • One or more of the following organ system function criteria
  • Cardiac: Ejection fraction ≤ 40%
  • Renal: Estimated or actual GFR ≤ 40 ml/min (corrected for BSA)
  • Pulmonary: FEV1, FVC, or DLCO ≤ 40% predicted
  • Hepatic: Total bilirubin ≥3 mg% and AST/ALT \>5 x institutional normal for age
  • Karnofsky score ≤50 (Requires considerable assistance and frequent medical care).
  • Persistent invasive infections not controlled by antimicrobial medication.
  • Any physical or psychological condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose unacceptable risk to the patient.
