Single, High Dose Vitamin A Replacement in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Its Role on MBI-LCBI Rates

The primary objective of this study is to establish that single dose vitamin A
supplementation is feasible and safe in pediatric and young adult bone marrow transplant
recipients until day +30 (± 7 days) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The investigators' preliminary data suggest that low levels of vitamin A directly impact risk
of mucosal barrier injury laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection (MBI-LCBI), likely via
decreased gut permeability, and they hypothesize supplemental vitamin A at the time of HSCT
can reduce the risk of MBI-LCBI and gastrointestinal graft versus host disease (GI GVHD). A
3x3 dose escalation/de-escalation study design will be used to determine the safety and
dosing required to maintain vitamin A levels in the upper quartile of normal range for age at
day +30 (± 7 days) with single dose vitamin A supplementation prior to hematopoietic stem
cell transplantation.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Any patient undergoing HSCT.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Vitamin A hypersensitivity or allergy.

- Age less than 1 year at time of transplant.

- Baseline pre-HSCT vitamin A levels higher than the upper quartile of normal range for
age.

- Enteral feeding or medication intolerance.

- Pregnancy.
