Brief Summary: RATIONALE Antivirals such as ribavirin are used to treat infections caused by viruses It is not yet known if ribavirin is more effective than standard therapy in preventing pneumonia in patients who have respiratory syncytial virus RSV infection following stem cell transplantation

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of ribavirin with that of standard therapy in preventing pneumonia in patients who have RSV infection following stem cell transplantation
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the efficacy of aerosolized ribavirin vs standard supportive therapy in terms of preventing progression of upper respiratory tract respiratory syncytial virus RSV infection to pneumonia in patients with RSV following stem cell transplantation
Determine the safety of aerosolized ribavirin in this patient population

OUTLINE This is a randomized investigator-blind controlled multicenter study Patients are stratified according to engraftment status pre vs post and transplant type HLA matched-related allogeneic syngeneic or autologous vs HLA mismatched-related or unrelated allogeneic Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive standard supportive care for immunocompromised patients with upper respiratory tract infections Patient also receive aerosolized ribavirin by face mask mist or oxygen tent over 2 hours 3 times daily on days 1-10
Arm II Patients receive standard supportive care as in arm I Treatment continues in the absence of progression to pneumonia or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed at days 14 and 28

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 90 patients 45 per arm will be accrued for this study
