Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
To evaluate whether palifermin (rHuKGF) administered as a single dose is non-inferior to 3 consecutive doses of palifermin in reducing the incidence of severe oral mucositis (World Health Organization \[WHO\] grade 3 and 4).

- Palifermin 60 µg/kg for 3 days
- description
- Palifermin 60 µg/kg plus placebo to match the total volume equivalent to a 180 µg/kg dose on the 3 days prior to fractionated total body irradiation (fTBI) and palifermin 60 µg/kg on Days 0, 1 and 2 after peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation (PBPC). Participants also received conditioning therapy with fTBI and cyclophosphamide/etoposide prior to PBPC transplantation on Day 0.
