Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Fludarabine + BusulfanExperimental Treatment6 Interventions
Fludarabine administered by vein at dose of 40 mg/m2 in 100 ml of normal saline (NS) on Days -6 through -3. First two doses of Busulfan, 80 mg/m2 administered as an outpatient or as an inpatient to facilitate for this pharmacokinetically directed therapy. Busulfan is administered at the dose calculated to achieve a total (including first two doses delivered on day -13 and -12) systemic exposure of 20,000 ± 12% µMol-min based on the pharmacokinetic studies.
