Single, High Dose Vitamin A Replacement in Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

This phase I trial studies the side effects and how well high dose vitamin A works in
preventing gastrointestinal graft versus host disease (GVHD) in participants undergoing donor
stem cell transplant. Vitamin A deficiency is associated with increased risk of
gastrointestinal GVHD. Vitamin A regulates growth and differentiation of intestinal cells and
may reduce risk of gastrointestinal GVHD.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the feasibility and safety of pre-transplant single, high dose vitamin A
supplementation in adult allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients until day +28 after
transplant.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Participants receive vitamin A compound orally (PO) or enterally once prior to stem cell
transplant.

After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up periodically.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Adult patients planned to undergo an allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) with an
human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched (unrelated or related) or 1 allele mismatched
(7/8) donor or haploidentical donor who received either myeloablative or
nonmyeloablative conditioning for hematologic malignancies are eligible

Exclusion Criteria:

- Vitamin A hypersensitivity or allergy

- Baseline pre-transplant Vitamin A levels higher than the upper quartile of normal
range for age

- Abnormal liver enzymes outside of the institutional laboratory normal range within 30
days of screening

- Abnormal total, indirect, or direct bilirubin outside of the institutional laboratory
normal range within 30 days of screening

- Enteral feeding intolerance

- Medication intolerance

- Pregnancy
