Official Title: Phase II Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Atorvastatin for the Prophylaxis of Acute Graft-versus-host Disease in Patients Undergoing Matched Sibling Hematopoiet

Brief Summary: Atorvastatin for prevention of acute GVHD

Detailed Summary: This is a phase II study of atorvastatin for the prophylaxis of acute GVHD in patients undergoing matched-sibling allogeneic HSCT. This study will explore a two-pronged acute GVHD prophylaxis strategy, consisting of pre-treating consenting sibling donors with atorvastatin before stem cell collection, followed by the addition of atorvastatin to methotrexate/tacrolimus-based GVHD prophylaxis.

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Determine the efficacy of an atorvastatin/tacrolimus/methotrexate regimen in preventing grade II-IV acute GVHD in patients undergoing matched-sibling allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) [ Time Frame: 100 days ]
  • Assess the safety of an atorvastatin/tacrolimus/methotrexate regimen in patients undergoing matched-sibling allogeneic HSCT. [ Time Frame: One year ]
  • Assess the safety of an atorvastatin in sibling HSCT donors. [ Time Frame: 30 days ]


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • To assess rates of chronic GVHD. [ Time Frame: One year ]
  • To assess non-relapse mortality at 100 days post-HSCT. [ Time Frame: 100 days post-HSCT ]


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
