Donor Atorvastatin Treatment for Preventing Severe Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease in Patients Undergoing Myeloablative Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
This phase II trial studies donor atorvastatin treatment for the prevention of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing myeloablative peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation (TBI) before a donor PBSC transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also prevent the patient's immune system reject the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving atorvastatin to the donor before transplant may prevent this from happening.
Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.

PO, >= BU 6.4 mg/kg intravenously (IV), >= treosulfan 42 g/m^2 IV) according to
investigational study or standard treatment plan; other "myeloablative" preparative
regimens are acceptable as long as they are approved by the principal investigator or
designee

- DONOR: Active liver disease (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] or aspartate
aminotransferase [AST] levels > 2 times the upper limit of normal [ULN])
- DONOR: History of myopathy
- DONOR: Hypersensitivity to atorvastatin
- DONOR: Pregnancy

3A4 (i.e. clarithromycin, erythromycin, protease inhibitors, azole antifungals)
- DONOR: Current use of statin drug
- DONOR: Failure to meet Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) or local
criteria for stem cell donation
- DONOR: Total creatinine kinase > 2 times the ULN
