Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide, before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem 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. Giving high-dose cyclophosphamide together with tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works when given together with a donor stem cell transplant, followed by tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and high-dose cyclophosphamide, in treating patients with high-risk hematologic cancer.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To estimate the incidence of graft rejection and severe graft-versus-host disease after myeloablative HLA-mismatched peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from first-degree relatives in patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies.

Secondary

  • To estimate overall survival, relapse, non-relapse mortality, and event-free survival in these patients.

  • To characterize additional hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities of myeloablative haploidentical PBSCT.

  • To characterize donor hematopoietic chimerism in peripheral blood stem cells after PBSCT.

OUTLINE:
  • Preparative regimen: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate IV over 30 minutes on days -7 to -2, busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -7 to -4, and cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours on days -3 and -2.

  • Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT): Patients undergo infusion of unmanipulated peripheral blood stem cells on day 0.

  • Post-transplant regimen: Patients receive high-dose cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours on days 3 and 4, tacrolimus IV over 24 hours or orally twice daily on days 5-180, and oral mycophenolate mofetil 3 times daily on days 5-34 followed by a taper to day 90. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or clinically significant graft-vs-host disease.

After completion of PBSCT, patients are followed periodically for 1 year.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of Graft Rejection for Patients at Day 100 [Day 100]

      Number of patients who experienced graft rejection by Day 100

    2. Number of Patients Who Experienced Severe Graft-versus-host Disease (GVHD)(Grade 3 or 4) [Day 100]

      Number of patients who experienced post-transplant complication (GVHD) as seen by clinical evidence

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Survival at Day 100 [Day 100]

      Overall survival is assessed, without regard to disease status, post-transplant, at Day 100.

    2. Non-relapse Mortality at 1 Year After Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (PBSCT) [1 year]

      Non-relapse mortality refers to whether a patient dies of causes related to something other than the primary disease.

    3. Achievement of >90% (Full) Donor Chimerism in the T-Cell Lineage as Measured by PCR at Day 30 Post-transplantation [Day 30]

      Chimerism analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for STR/VNTR (short tandme repeat/variable number tandem repeat) will be performed post transplant. On each occasion, the peripheral blood will be separated into the T-cell component (using e.g. CD3 selection) and the myeloid component (using e.g.CD14/15 selection) before assessment of chimerism.

    4. Non-relapse Mortality at Day 100 After Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (PBSCT) [Day 100]

    5. Achievement of >90% (Full) Donor Chimerism in the T-Cell Lineage as Measured by PCR at Day 60 Post-transplantation [Day 60]

      Chimerism analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells using PCR for STR/VNTR will be performed post transplant. On each occasion, the peripheral blood will be separated into the T-cell component (using e.g. CD3 selection) and the myeloid component (using e.g.CD14/15 selection) before assessment of chimerism.

    6. Achievement of >90% (Full) Donor Chimerism in the T-Cell Lineage as Measured by PCR at Day 90 Post-transplantation [Day 90]

      Chimerism analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells using PCR for STR/VNTR will be performed post transplant. On each occasion, the peripheral blood will be separated into the T-cell component (using e.g. CD3 selection) and the myeloid component (using e.g.CD14/15 selection) before assessment of chimerism.

    7. Overall Survival at 12 Months [12 months]

      Overall survival, defined as a patient being alive after transplant, is without regard to disease status.

    8. Disease Free Survival at 12 Months [12 months]

      Disease free survival refers to patients with no evidence of disease after transplant, at the 12 month time point.

    9. Disease Free Survival at Day 100 [Day 100]

      Disease free survival refers to patients with no evidence of disease after transplant, at the Day 100 time point.
