Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation Using Less Intensive Therapy

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Kidney Cancer, Leukemia, Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Plasma Cell Neoplasm, Myelodysplastic Syndromes

In brief

RATIONALE: A peripheral stem cell transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy, or that have become cancer. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclophosphamide and fludarabine together with total-body irradiation followed by cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy followed by cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil works in treating patients who are undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer, metastatic breast cancer, or kidney cancer.

Who can join

Age: any, up to 75. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Standard patients will be enrolled into Arms 1-6. High risk patients (transplant with aplasia) will be considered separately in Arm 7.
• Age and Graft criteria (all patients)
• Patient's < or = 75 years old with a 5/6 or 6/6 related donor match are eligible.
• Patient's < or = 75 years who have a 7-8/8 HLA-A,B,C,DRB1 allele matched unrelated volunteer marrow and/or peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donor match are eligible.
• Disease Criteria (standard risk patients)
• Acute myelogenous leukemia
• Acute lymphocytic leukemia
• Chronic myelogenous leukemia all types except blast crisis (note treated blast crisis in chronic phase is eligible).
• Non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkins, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma demonstrating chemosensitive disease
• Acquired bone marrow failure syndromes
• Myelodysplastic syndrome of all subtypes including refractory anemia (RA) or all IPSS categories if severe pancytopenia, transfusion requirements not responsive to therapy, or high risk cytogenetics. Blasts must be less than 5%. If >5% requires therapy (induction or Hypomethylating agents) pre-transplant to decrease disease burden.
• Renal cell cancer,
• Chronic myeloproliferative disorder, i.e. myelofibrosis
• Disease Criteria (High risk patients on Arm 7)
• Patients with refractory leukemia or MDS may be taken to transplant in aplasia after induction or re-induction chemotherapy or radiolabeled antibody. These high risk patients will be analyzed separately in Arm 7.
• Adequate organ function and performance status (all patients)

You may not qualify if…

• Pregnancy or breast feeding
• Evidence of HIV infection or known HIV positive serology
• Active serious infection
• Congenital bone marrow failure syndrome
• Previous irradiation that precludes the safe administration of an additional dose of 200 cGy of total body irradiation (TBI)
• Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in refractory blast crisis
• Intermediate or high grade NHL, mantle cell NHL, and Hodgkins disease that is progressive on salvage therapy. Stable disease is acceptable to move forward provided it is non-bulky.
• Multiple Myeloma progressive on salvage chemotherapy.
• DONOR ELIGIBILITY
• Related will undergo apheresis - if donor is unable to undergo apheresis, a bone marrow harvest is acceptable; unrelated volunteer donors must be able to undergo bone marrow harvest or apheresis.
• All donors must be able to give informed consent.
• Donors weighing less than 40 kg (children) will need evaluation by a pediatrician for suitability of the apheresis procedure. Informed consent must be obtained from parent or guardian as applicable for minors.
