Human Lysozyme Goat Milk for the Prevention of Graft Versus Host Disease in Patients With Blood Cancer Undergoing a Donor Stem Cell Transplant

This phase I trial studies the side effects of human lysozyme goat milk in preventing graft versus host disease in patients with blood cancer undergoing a donor stem cell transplant. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can cause an immune response against the body's own normal cells (call graft versus host disease). The goat milk in the study is from goats that have been genetically engineered to produce human lysozyme in the milk. Human lysozyme is a natural enzyme found in human milk and acts as an antimicrobial. Lysozyme is key to the digestive health of breast-fed human infants, since it helps the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and reduces the growth of bacteria that causes diarrhea and intestinal disease. Giving human lysozyme goat milk may reduce the rate of graft versus host disease in blood cancer patients undergoing a donor stem cell transplant.

Gardasil 9 Vaccine in Preventing HPV Infection in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Undergoing Donor Stem Cell Transplant

This phase IV trial studies how well Gardasil 9 vaccine works in preventing human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in patients with hematologic malignancies who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Vaccines, such as Gardasil 9, may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells.

Blood Samples to Identify Biomarkers in Patients Treated With Cyclophosphamide After Donor Stem Cell Transplant

This trial uses blood samples to understand how patients' bodies process and respond to a drug called cyclophosphamide given after a donor stem cell transplant. Identifying biomarkers (molecules that can indicate normal or abnormal processes) may help researchers develop a blood test that can be used to predict how well patients will process and respond to cyclophosphamide.
