  2. High Dose Therapy Rationale DiPiro JT, et al. Pharmacotherapy 7th ed. McGraw-Hill; 2008:2332. 2

  3. Conditioning Regimens • Myeloablative • Nonmyeloablative • Radiotherapy/immunosuppression 3

  4. Myeloablative Conditioning • Eliminate cancer in malignant disease • Make space for donor stem cells • Suppress recipient immune system from stem cell rejection in allo-SCT 4

  5. Non-Myeloablative Conditioning • Graft-versus-tumor effect (GVT) from donor T-cells • Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens • No eradication of host hematopoiesis and reversible myelosuppression 5

  6. Non-Myeloablative Conditioning DiPiro JT, et al. Pharmacotherapy 7th ed. McGraw-Hill; 2008. 6

  7. Reduced Intensity Conditioning Regimen • Advantages • Decreased acute toxicity • Application to older and/or morbid patients • Disadvantages • Loss/decrease in anti-tumor activity from cytotoxic chemotherapy/radiation 7

  8. Alkylating agents Cyclophosphamide Busulfan Melphalan Carmustine Carboplatin Thiotepa Antimetabolites Cytarabine Fludarabine Topoisomerase II inhibitors Etoposide Cytotoxic Agents
