FluTBI: Fludarabine / Total Body Irradiation Regimen for ALLO HCT in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this research is to test if the conditioning regimen, fludarabine and total body irradiation (FluTBI), can lead to a safer and more effective stem cell transplant treatment regimen for ALL patients older than 40 years of age and/or younger patients with high risk medical conditions. The primary objective is to establish the efficacy of allo HCT in older ALL patients using myeloablative FluTBI conditioning regimen. The investigators are also assessing the safety and toxicity of allo HCT in older ALL patients using myeloablative FluTBI conditioning regimen.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Disease Criteria:

ALL in complete remission (CR) at the time of transplant. Remission is defined as "less than 5.0% bone marrow lymphoblasts by morphology," as determined by a bone marrow aspirate obtained within 2 weeks of study registration.
-
Philadelphia chromosome positive ALL is allowed.
-
Lymphoid blastic crisis of CML will be included (provided that patients achieve CR).

Performance status: Karnofsky ≥ 70%
-
Consent: Patient must be informed of the investigational nature of this study in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines and have the ability to provide written informed consent prior to initiation of any study-related procedures, and ability,in the opinion of the principal investigator, to comply with all the requirements of the study.
-
Presence of a willing adult HLA-matched sibling (excluding identical twin) or HLA-matched unrelated donor meeting all the criteria for routine allo HSCT. All donors will be evaluated for eligibility and suitability per the standard of care according to the FACT and NMDP guidelines.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Non-compliant to medications.
-
No appropriate caregivers identified.
-
HIV1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1) or HIV2 positive
-
Active life-threatening cancer requiring treatment other than ALL
