Use of this site is subject to you reading and agreeing with the terms set forth in the disclaimer.

Is there a regimen missing from this list? Would you like to share a different dosage/schedule or an additional reference for a regimen? Have you noticed an error? Do you have an idea that will help the site grow to better meet your needs and the needs of many others? You are invited to contribute to the site.

Unlike the other chemotherapy regimen pages, this one is not disease-specific. Rather, this is a gathering point for all transplant conditioning regimens, which will eventually also be available under their respective disease-specific pages. However, this page will remain as a central reference for these types of regimens. Unless otherwise specified, the day of hematopoietic cell re-infusion is by convention day 0.

Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), Etoposide (Vepesid), TBI

back to top

Regimen

Phase II

Autologous hematopoetic stem cell transplant on day 0.

  • Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) 100 mg/kg IV over 1 to 2 hours once on day -2
  • Etoposide (Vepesid) 60 mg/kg IV over 4 hours once on day -4
  • Total body irradiation (TBI) with 150 cGy fractions given twice per day (fractions are at least 5 hours apart) x 8 fractions (total dose: 1200 cGy) over 4 days on days -8 to -5, with lung shielding for the final 600 Gy
    • Note: Table 1 of Stiff et al. 1998 lists the dosage of each fraction as being 120 cGy, in contrast to the body text under "treatment regimen" saying each fraction is 150 cGy. It is believed that the 150 cGy dose is correct since 8 fractions of this results in the correct total dose of 1200 cGy.

DHAP -> BEAC

back to top

DHAP: Dexamethasone, High-dose Ara-C (cytarabine), cisPlatin
BEAC: BiCNU, Etoposide, Ara-C, Cyclophosphamide

Regimen, Velasquez, et al. 1988 (DHAP) & Philip, et al. 1991

Phase II

DHAP Induction Therapy

In Velasquez, et al. 1988, Ara-C/Cytarabine was originally administered "on the third day," but the regimen was subsequently modified so that it was given on day 2 after cisplatin.

Supportive Medications:

  • Normal saline solution with mannitol, 50 g/L, at 250 mL/hour IV over 36 hours starting on day 1 prior to cisplatin
  • Metoclopramide (Reglan) 1 mg/kg "given routinely as antiemetics"
  • Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) 25 mg IV "given routinely as antiemetics"

21 to 28 day cycles, depending on degree of myelosuppression, for a total of 2 cycles as follows: After 1 course of DHAP, if they did not have "clearly progressive disease," patients underwent bone marrow harvest. A second course of DHAP was administered starting 1 day after bone marrow harvest. At day 20 after the second course of DHAP, patients were restaged. Patients who showed a response and had bulky disease at initial relapse then started involved field radiotherapy on day 20 after the second course of DHAP for 5 days per week x 2 weeks. In the original Velasquez, et al. 1988 paper where DHAP was used on its own, treatment continued for 6 to 10 cycles in patient who responded to treatment.

BEAC conditioning & transplant

BEAC starts on day 35 after the second course of DHAP. Autologous blood stem cells are infused on day 0.
