Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Using Related, HLA-Haploidentical Donors
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if engraftment can be achieved safely in patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies who undergo non-myeloablative transplant with peripheral stem cells from Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) haploidentical donors with pre and post-transplant cyclophosphamide as immunosuppression.

Detailed Description
It is important to extend the option of nonmyeloablative, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for potential therapy of hematologic malignancies to patients who do not have an HLA-matched donor. Almost all patients would have a related donor identical for one HLA haplotype (haploidentical) and mismatched at HLA-A, B or DR of the unshared haplotype. Thus far, nonmyeloablative HSCT from HLA-mismatched donors has been associated with a high rate of graft failure and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In this protocol, we will use a combination of immunosuppressive agents including cyclophosphamide administered before and after HSCT to facilitate engraftment and to delete highly alloreactive T-cell clones presumably involved in GVHD.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

High-risk ALL defined as:
CR1 with high-risk cytogenetics t(9;22), t(8;14), t(4;11), t(1;19) for adult patients >4 wk to achieve CR1
≥ CR2 Patients should have <5% marrow blasts at the time of transplant
-
MDS (>int-1 per IPSS) after ≥ 1 prior cycle of induction chemotherapy; should have<5% marrow blasts at the time of transplant
-
MM Stage II or III patients who have progressed after an initial response to chemotherapy or autologous HSCT or MM patients with refractory disease who may benefit from tandem autologous-nonmyeloablative allogeneic transplant

-
Patients who have received a prior allogeneic HSCT and who have either rejected their grafts or who have become tolerant of their grafts with no active GvHD requiring immunosuppressive therapy could be enrolled
Exclusion Criteria:
