Trial to Evaluate Palifermin in the Reduction of Acute Graft Versus Host Disease in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Undergoing Allogeneic Marrow/Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cell (PBPC) Transplantation

Trial ID or NCT#

NCT00189488

Status

NOT RECRUITING

Purpose

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of palifermin versus placebo in the reduction of severe acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) and severe oral mucositis.

Official Title

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study: Older than 18 Years
