Non Hodgkin Lymphoma Clinical Trial

Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant Followed by Donor Bone Marrow Transplant in Treating Patients With High-Risk Hodgkin Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Summary

This phase II trial studies autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant followed by donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Autologous stem cell transplantation uses the patient's stem cells and does not cause graft versus host disease (GVHD) and has a very low risk of death, while minimizing the number of cancer cells. Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant uses stem cells from the patient or a donor and may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. These donated stem cells may help destroy cancer cells. Bone marrow transplant known as a nonmyeloablative transplant uses stem cells from a haploidentical family donor. Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant followed by donor bone marrow transplant may work better in treating patients with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Event-free survival (EFS) at 1-year after autograft.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Relapse rates at 1-year after autograft.

II. Overall survival (OS) at 1-year after autograft.

III. Incidence of grades II-IV acute GVHD and chronic extensive GVHD.

IV. Non-relapse mortality (NRM) at 200 days and 1 year after allograft.

V. Donor engraftment at day +84.

VI. Incidence of infections.

OUTLINE:

CONDITIONING REGIMEN 1 (lymphoma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia [CLL] with no dose limiting radiation or significant comorbidities: Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) on days -6 and -5. Patients undergo high-dose total body irradiation (TBI) twice daily (BID) on days -3 to -1.

CONDITIONING REGIMEN 2 (lymphoma, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, CLL, with prior dose-limiting radiation, or significant comorbidities): Patients receive carmustine IV on day -7, etoposide IV BID on days -6 to -3, cytarabine IV BID on days -6 to -3, and melphalan IV on day -2.

CONDITIONING REGIMEN 3 (multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia, with no significant renal insufficiency or other significant comorbidities): Patients receive high-dose melphalan IV on day -2.

CONDITIONING REGIMEN 4 (multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia, with significant renal insufficiency or other significant comorbidities): Patients receive lessened dose of melphalan IV on day -2.

PBSC TRANSPLANTATION: All patients undergo autologous PBSC transplantation on day 0.

WAITING INTERVAL: Between 40 and 120 days.

NONMYELOABLATIVE CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate IV once daily (QD) on days -6 to -2 and cyclophosphamide IV QD on days -6 to -5 and day 3. Patients infused with donor's peripheral blood stem cells will additionally receive cyclophosphamide IV on day 4. Patients undergo low-dose TBI on day -1.

ALLOGENEIC BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo donor bone marrow transplantation on day 0.

GRAFT VERSUS HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS: Beginning on day 4, patients receive tacrolimus orally (PO) or IV and taper beginning on day 86 if no graft-versus-host disease. Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil PO thrice daily (TID) on days 4 - 35.

PERIPHERAL BLOOD COUNT SUPPORT: Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) IV or subcutaneously (SC) beginning from day 4 and continue till blood counts recover.

ALLOGENEIC PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS (PBMC) TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo donor PBMC transplantation on day 0.

GRAFT VERSUS HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS: Beginning on day 5, patients receive tacrolimus orally (PO) or IV and taper beginning on day 86 if no graft-versus-host disease. Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil PO thrice daily (TID) on days 5 - 35.

PERIPHERAL BLOOD COUNT SUPPORT: Patients receive filgrastim IV or SC beginning from day 5 and continue till blood counts recover.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up annually for 5 years.

Cross-over from other tandem autologous-allogeneic research protocol (#1409 or other appropriate protocol) will be allowed if the patient loses the suitable HLA-matched related or unrelated donor but has an available HLA-haploidentical donor before receiving the allogeneic transplantation and if the patient meets the eligibility criteria of the subsequent study
