Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Relapse remains a principle cause of treatment failure for patients with aggressive lymphoma after autologous transplantation. Non-myeloablative allogeneic transplantation allows patients to receive an infusion of donor cells in an attempt to induce a graft versus lymphoma effect. This study will assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of the combination of autologous stem cell transplantation followed by non-myeloablative transplantation for patients with poor-risk aggressive lymphoma.

Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a phase II clinical trial investigating the feasibility, and efficacy of sequential autologous stem cell transplant followed by non-myeloablative allogeneic transplant for patients with poor risk lymphoma. Patients will be enrolled onto the trial when eligible and undergo standard high-dose chemotherapy with the combination with busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide followed by autologous stem cell transplant. After recovery of counts and clinical status, patients will then proceed to non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant using a fully matched related or unrelated donor.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Autologous then Allogeneic transplant

All patients will receive conditioning with busulfan, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide (with mesna) and then will undergo autologous (auto) peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Participants who ONLY underwent Autologous transplant, did not proceed to Allogeneic transplant
    Arm/Group Title Autologous Then Allogeneic Transplant
    Arm/Group Description All patients will receive conditioning with busulfan, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide (with mesna) and then will undergo autologous (auto) peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Patients will be re-evaluated after autologous transplant prior to proceeding to non-myeloablative allogeneic (allo) transplant. If eligible to proceed, allogenic transplantation will take place no earlier than 40 days and no later than 180 days after autologous stem cell transplantation. Conditioning for the allogeneic transplant will consist of fludarabine and busulfan. Participants will receive tacrolimus and sirolimus as prophylaxis against graft versus host disease (GVHD).
