Myeloablative Chemotherapy With Stem Cell Rescue for Rare Poor-Prognosis Cancers
This is a phase II trial designed to provide a transplant option for patients with rare
poor-prognosis cancers. The protocol is only open to patients with metastatic or relapsed
cancers for whom the probability of remaining free of progressive disease for one year after
being brought into remission is < 25%. Patients eligible for this study have been diagnosed
with a form of cancer that leads to death more than 75% of the time when treated with
standard therapy doses of chemotherapy and/ or radiation therapy. Under this treatment
intensification protocol the expectation is that the one year progression-free survival for
this group of patients will rise to 40%. Patients eligible for this protocol will be
followed for one year post-transplant. Patients alive and free of progressive disease at
the end of this period will be considered successes.
