Donor Stem Cell Transplant Followed by Cyclophosphamide in Treating Patients With Hematological Diseases
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies donor stem cell transplant followed by cyclophosphamide in treating patients with hematological diseases. Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving cyclophosphamide after the transplant may stop this from happening.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine if haploidentical stem cell transplant using post-transplant cyclophosphamide results in 60% or better disease free survival (DFS) at 12 months at our institution.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the rate of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), non-relapse mortality, and relapse.
OUTLINE:
PREPARATIVE REGIMEN: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) once daily (QD) on days -6 to -2. Patients receiving myeloablative conditioning receive busulfan IV every 6 hours for 16 doses on days -7 to -4 and patients receiving reduced intensity conditioning receive busulfan IV every 6 hours for 8 doses on days -5 to -4. Patients also receive cyclophosphamide IV QD on days -3 and -2
TRANSPLANT: Patients undergo stem cell transplant on day 0.
GVHD PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive cyclophosphamide QD on days 3 and 4, tacrolimus on days 5-180, and mycophenolate mofetil on days 5-35.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for 2 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 12 month disease free survival probability [At 12 months]
The proportion of patients who experience death or disease relapse by one year will be calculated and a corresponding 95% confidence interval will be constructed using the normal approximation for binomial proportions. The survival function will be estimated and plotted using the method of Kaplan and Meier.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Rate of acute GvHD [At 12 months]
Calculating the rates of acute GvHD in the study population at twelve months with a 95% confidence interval.
- Rate of chronic GvHD [At 12 months]
Calculating the rates of acute GvHD in the study population at twelve months with a 95% confidence interval.
- Overall survival [At 12 months]
The survival function will be estimated and plotted using the method of Kaplan and Meier.
- Relapse (or death) [At 12 months]
Calculating the proportion of patients who experience death by one year and construct a corresponding 95% confidence interval using the normal approximation for binomial proportions.
- Relapse-free mortality [At 12 months]
The cumulative incidence function in the presence of relapse will be estimated.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
