Atorvastatin for the Prophylaxis of Acute GVHD in Patients Undergoing Matched Sibling Allogeneic Transplantation
- Registration Number
- NCT01175148
- Lead Sponsor
- West Virginia University
- Brief Summary
Atorvastatin for prevention of acute GVHD
- Detailed Description
This is a phase II study of atorvastatin for the prophylaxis of acute GVHD in patients undergoing matched-sibling allogeneic HSCT. This study will explore a two-pronged acute GVHD prophylaxis strategy, consisting of pre-treating consenting sibling donors with atorvastatin before stem cell collection, followed by the addition of atorvastatin to methotrexate/tacrolimus-based GVHD prophylaxis.

Group Intervention Description Recipient - Atorvastatin to prevent GVHD Atorvastatin calcium (Lipitor) Atorvastatin calcium (Lipitor) will be administered at dose of 40mg orally daily starting on day -14, to permit an approximately 1-week observation period to rule out any acute atorvastatin-induced side effects before the initiation of transplant conditioning. Patients will receive atorvastatin until +180 days or development of grade 2 GVHD. This is the experimental arm for outcome measures. Donor - Atorvastatin conditioning for donors Atorvastatin calcium (Lipitor) Sibling donors will start taking Atorvastatin calcium (Lipitor) orally at 40mg once daily between 14-28 days before the anticipated first day of apheresis or bone marrow harvest.
