Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, single-arm, multicentre study conducted in Spain to estimate the effectiveness of palifermin administered at a dose of 60 mg/kg/day IV for 3 consecutive days before the start of the conditioning regimen and for 3 consecutive days after autologous PBSCT for treating oral mucositis in patients with NHL and MM who have received high-dose conditioning chemotherapy.

  • ≥Age 18 years
  • ECOG performance status <=
  • In the MM group, ECOG status >2 will be accepted provided that it is exclusively due to MM (e.g. pathological fracture)
  • Adequate pulmonary function as measured by a corrected carbon monoxide (CO) diffusing capacity (DLCO) ≥ 60% of predicted
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%

  • Each subject must give informed consent directly or through a legally acceptable representative before participating in any study specific procedure, or receiving any study medication.

Exclusion Criteria

  • History of or concurrent cancer other than NHL or MM
  • Prior treatment with palifermin, or other keratinocyte growth factors (eg, KGF-2)- Prior autologous or allogeneic transplants
  • Oral abnormalities defined as baseline oral assessment of WHO grade >0
  • Other investigational procedures are excluded
  • Subject currently is enrolled in or has not yet completed at least 30 days since ending other investigational device or drug study(s), or subject is receiving other investigational agent(s)
  • Subject of child-bearing potential is evidently pregnant (eg, positive HCG test) or is breast feeding
  • Subject is not using adequate contraceptive precautions
  • Known to be sero-positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV)
  • Subject has known sensitivity to any of the products to be administered during dosing, including E coli-derived products
  • Subject has previously been treated on this study or with other keratinocyte growth factors
  • Unwilling or unable to complete the patient-reported outcome questionnaires
  • Subject has any kind of disorder that compromises the ability of the subject to give written informed consent and/or to comply with study procedures.
