What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Counts of Participants With Disease Free Survival

    The length of time after treatment ends that a patient survives without any signs or symptoms of that cancer or any other type of cancer. In a clinical trial, measuring the disease-free survival is one way to see how well a new treatment works. Patients with leukemia involving the BM and myelodysplastic syndrome will have this assessed by BM biopsy and additional special studies such as cytogenetics or flow cytometry as appropriate. Patients will also have radiology studies such as plain X-rays or CT scans and/or other studies such as blood tumor markers to document presence or absence of disease as clinically indicated.

    Measured: 2 Years

  2. Count of Participants With Disease Free Survival

    The length of time after treatment ends that a patient survives without any signs or symptoms of that cancer or any other type of cancer. In a clinical trial, measuring the disease-free survival is one way to see how well a new treatment works. Patients with leukemia involving the BM and myelodysplastic syndrome will have this done by BM biopsy and additional special studies such as cytogenetics or flow cytometry as appropriate. Patients will also have radiology studies such as plain X-rays or CT scans and/or other studies such as blood tumor markers to document presence or absence of disease as clinically indicated.

    Measured: 5 Years

  3. Count of Participants With Disease Free Survival

    The length of time after treatment ends that a patient survives without any signs or symptoms of that cancer or any other type of cancer. In a clinical trial, measuring the disease-free survival is one way to see how well a new treatment works. Patients with leukemia involving the BM and myelodysplastic syndrome will have this done by BM biopsy and additional special studies such as cytogenetics or flow cytometry as appropriate. Patients will also have radiology studies such as plain X-rays or CT scans and/or other studies such as blood tumor markers to document presence or absence of disease as clinically indicated.

    Measured: 7 Years

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Count of Participants Who Achieved Neutrophil Engraftment

    Neutrophil engraftment is defined as the first day of three consecutive days where the neutrophil count (absolute neutrophil count) is 500 cells/mm^3 (0.5 x 10^9/L) or greater.

    Measured: By Day 42

  2. Percentage of Participants With Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease by Grade

    Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease is a severe short-term complication created by infusion of donor cells into a foreign host. Patients will be staged weekly between days 0 and 100 after transplantation using standard criteria used for staging. Patients will be assigned an overall GVHD score based on extent of skin rash, volume of diarrhea and maximum bilirubin level. The stages of individual organ involvement are combined to produce an overall grade. Grade I GVHD is characterized as mild disease, grade II GVHD as moderate, grade III as severe, and grade IV life-threatening.

    Measured: Day 100

  3. Percentage of Participants With Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease

    Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease is a severe long-term complication created by infusion of donor cells into a foreign host. Patients will be assigned an overall GVHD score based on extent of skin rash, volume of diarrhea and maximum bilirubin level. The stages of individual organ involvement are combined to produce an overall grade. Grade I GVHD is characterized as mild disease, grade II GVHD as moderate, grade III as severe, and grade IV life-threatening.

    Measured: 6 Months

  4. Percentage of Participants With Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease

    Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease is a severe long-term complication created by infusion of donor cells into a foreign host. Patients will be staged weekly between days 0 and 100 after transplantation using standard criteria used for staging. Patients will be assigned an overall GVHD score based on extent of skin rash, volume of diarrhea and maximum bilirubin level. The stages of individual organ involvement are combined to produce an overall grade. Grade I GVHD is characterized as mild disease, grade II GVHD as moderate, grade III as severe, and grade IV life-threatening.

    Measured: 1 Year

  5. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Related Toxicity

    In the field of transplantation, toxicity is high and all deaths without previous relapse or progression are usually considered as related to transplantation.

    Measured: 6 Months

  6. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Related Toxicity

    In the field of transplantation, toxicity is high and all deaths without previous relapse or progression are usually considered as related to transplantation.

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Percentage of Participants With Relapse

    The return of disease after its apparent recovery/cessation. Patients with leukemia involving the BM and myelodysplastic syndrome will have this assessed by BM biopsy and additional special studies such as cytogenetics or flow cytometry as appropriate. Patients will also have radiology studies such as plain X-rays or CT scans and/or other studies such as blood tumor markers to document presence or absence of disease as clinically indicated.

    Measured: 1 Year

  8. Percentage of Participants With Relapse

    The return of disease after its apparent recovery/cessation. Patients with leukemia involving the BM and myelodysplastic syndrome will have this assessed by BM biopsy and additional special studies such as cytogenetics or flow cytometry as appropriate. Patients will also have radiology studies such as plain X-rays or CT scans and/or other studies such as blood tumor markers to document presence or absence of disease as clinically indicated.

    Measured: 2 Years

  9. Percentage of Participants With Engraftment Failure

    Graft failure is defined as not accepting donated cells. The donated cells do not make the new white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets.

    Measured: Day 42

  10. Number of Participant Who Were Alive at 2 Years Post Transplant

    Overall survival will be defined as time from date of enrollment to date of death or censored at the date of last documented contact for patients still alive.

    Measured: 2 Years

  11. Number of Participant Who Were Alive at 5 Years Post Transplant

    Overall survival will be defined as time from date of enrollment to date of death or censored at the date of last documented contact for patients still alive.

    Measured: 5 Years

  12. Number of Participant Who Were Alive at 7 Years Post Transplant

    Overall survival will be defined as time from date of enrollment to date of death or censored at the date of last documented contact for patients still alive.

    Measured: 7 Years
