Bortezomib-based GVHD Prophylaxis After Allogeneic Transplant for Patients Without Matched Related Donors

Summary

A common problem after stem cell transplant is graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). GVHD is a complication of transplantation where the donor graft attacks and damages some of your tissues. After stem cell transplant, all patients receive prophylactic medications against GVHD. In this research study, we are studying the safety and effectiveness of a bortezomib based GVHD prophylaxic drug combination in participants after myeloablative allogeneic stem call transplantation from a matched unrelated donor, mismatched related or unrelated donor.
