Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Alemtuzumab is an antibody that reduces the strength of the immune system that is given in preparation for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). In this research study the investigators want to find out if they can adjust the dose of alemtuzumab used as part of allogeneic HCT to target the level of Day 0 (the planned day of graft infusion) to an optimal therapeutic window of 0.15-0.9 ug/mL.

The purpose of this study is to find a safe and tolerable way to improve engraftment after transplant. Research studies have shown that adding nicotinamide riboside to donor cells has the potential to increase blood stem cell numbers and potentially decrease the time to engraftment. Also, nicotinamide riboside, TRU NIAGEN (the study drug) is a type of vitamin B supplement that the general public can get without a prescription and is well tolerated.
