A Phase III, Randomized, Clinical Trial Comparing Two Diets in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) or Remission Induction Chemotherapy for Acute Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (UF-BMT-LDND-101)

This is an open-label, two-arm, phase III non-inferiority trial to evaluate the safety of a
liberalized hospital diet inclusive of fresh fruits and vegetables to a neutropenic diet in
patients with prolonged neutropenia. Both cohorts and diets will adhere to the hygiene and
common sense advice listed in the FDA-endorsed food safety guidelines.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Age 18 years or older

- Undergoing treatment for hematologic malignancies or HSCT as outlined below:

- Underlying diagnosis for non-HSCT patients:

- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) receiving induction or
reinduction chemotherapy; OR

- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) receiving an intensive induction chemotherapy
(e.g., HyperCVAD±R, CALGB9251, Larsons protocol) with an expected duration of
neutropenia of ≥7 days; OR

- Allogeneic or autologous HSCT for any indication. For patients undergoing reduced
intensity conditioning, only those regimens in which the expected neutropenia is ≥ 7
days are permitted and the patient must reside in the hospital

- Expected duration of neutropenia of ≥ 7 days

Exclusion Criteria:

- Use of systemic antibacterial antibiotics within 7 days prior to initiation of study
diet

- Untreated major infection at presentation

- Patients with uncontrolled invasive fungal infection (defined as those who have not
completed at least 6 weeks of treatment; or who are symptomatic with two CT scans, at
least 1 week apart showing uncontrolled disease at the time of initiation of study
diet)

- Uncontrolled HIV, Hepatitis B and C infection

- Use of neutropenic diet within 72 hours prior to consent

- Receipt of nutrition via enteral tube or total parenteral nutrition at the time of
enrollment

- Patients unwilling to eat fresh fruit and/or vegetables

- Planned management
