The primary goal of thos study is to assess safety of Ultraviolet (UV) Phototherapy for the Prevention of Graft versus Host Disease after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Phase I - Clinical trial). Following allogeneic BMT, patients will be placed on standard GVHD preventive therapy (cyclosporine).
Secondary goals -
clinical data and samples will be collected, during UV-c therapy, 100 days after discharge & 6 months after discharge - to examine the long-term effect of UV-c treatment on the patient's GVHD status.
Treatment will be given with a portable, easy to operate device named "EUMATRON". this device contains a UV- lamp. 250 cc of blood from a peripheric vein is going through the device into a bottle with Low dose Heparin and returning to patient's body. procedure takes ~20 minutes.
