Trial Description

Summary

Patients with NHL or HD will be assigned to one of 2 arms based on the immunophenotype of their lymphoma.

(A)Patients with CD20(-) lymphoma will undergo mobilization with G-CSF and AMD3100.

(B) Patients with CD20(+) lymphomas will undergo mobilization with Rituxan®, G-CSF, and AMD3100. They will receive a weekly dose of Rituxan® beginning 1 week prior to, and continuing until 2 weeks after, the first dose of G-CSF.

Patients in both groups will receive G-CSF twice daily for 4 days. In the evening on Day 4, a dose of AMD3100 will be administered. Apheresis will be initiated the next morning, Patients will continue to receive G-CSF twice daily and to receive the evening dose of AMD3100 followed by apheresis the next morning for up to a total of 4 aphereses or until ≧ 5 x 10e6 CD34+ cells/kg are collected.

Patients who are transplanted will be monitored for the time to PMN, PLT, and lymphocyte engraftment. Follow-up assessments will be done at 100 days, and 6 and 12 months post-transplantation.

Further Study Information

This is a single-center, observational, 2-arm, non-randomized, open-label study to evaluate the safety of AMD3100 when used in combination with rituximab (Rituxan®) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's disease (HD) or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).

Patients will be assigned to one of 2 arms based on the immunophenotype of their lymphoma.

(A)Patients with CD20(-) lymphoma will undergo mobilization with G-CSF and AMD3100.

(B) Patients with CD20(+) lymphomas will undergo mobilization with Rituxan®, G-CSF, and AMD3100. They will receive a weekly dose of 375 mg/m2 Rituxan® by intravenous (iv) infusion beginning 1 week prior to, and continuing until 2 weeks after, the first dose of G-CSF.

Patients in both groups will receive 7.5 µg/kg G-CSF twice daily (morning and evening) for 4 days. In the evening (approximately 10:00 pm) on Day 4, a dose of AMD3100 (240 µg/kg) will be administered. Apheresis will be initiated the next morning, approximately 10 to 11 hours after AMD3100 is given. Patients will continue to receive G-CSF twice daily and to receive the evening dose of AMD3100 followed by apheresis the next morning for up to a total of 4 aphereses or until ≧ 5 x 10e6 CD34+ cells/kg are collected.

Patients with an adequate number of autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) collected by apheresis will be admitted to the study center for the administration of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous transplantation. After transplantation, the times to PMN, PLT, and lymphocyte engraftment will be measured. Patients will remain hospitalized until they achieve an absolute granulocyte count of >500/µl in the peripheral blood. Graft durability will be assessed at 100 days, and 6 and 12 months post-transplantation.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Histological diagnosis of diffuse large cell lymphoma, B-cell, T-cell or anaplastic histologies; peripheral T-cell lymphoma; small non-cleaved Birkitt-like lymphoma; or Hodgkin's disease. NOTE: Patients diagnosed at a facility outside of Emory University will have their diagnosis confirmed by Emory University pathologists prior to being enrolled in this study.

• Eligible for autologous transplantation.

• History of relapse of lymphoma following initial treatment with an anthracycline-containing regimen (e.g., CHOP, ABVD) or disease that is refractory or progresses during initial therapy with an anthracycline-containing regimen.

• Immunophenotyping of the lymphoma at the time of diagnosis or relapse using flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry.

• Presence of clinically- and/or radiologically-documented, measurable, and/or evaluable disease at the time of relapse.

• Received 2 cycles of salvage chemotherapy.

• Complete response (i.e., normal physical examination, lymph nodes, lymph node masses, and bone marrow) or a partial response (i.e., decrease of ≧50% in the size of lymph nodes or lymph node masses or decrease in size of liver/spleen on physical exam) to at least one cycle of a salvage chemotherapy regimen.

• ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2.

• Absolute granulocytes count ≧1.0 x 10e9/l.

• PLT count ≧75 x 10e9/l.

• AST or ALT ≦2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≦5 x ULN if liver involvement with lymphoma.

• Life expectancy of at least 3 months.

• >4 weeks since last cycle of chemotherapy.

• Patient has recovered from all acute toxic effects of prior chemotherapy.

• Signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• A second active malignancy (other than basal cell carcinoma of the skin).

• Uncontrolled central nervous system involvement by lymphoma.

• Positive/history of retroviral infection (HIV, HTLV-1).

• Active infection requiring antibiotics during planned lymphoma-related therapy.

• Previous treatment with high-dose chemotherapy or cytokine mobilization and hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation.

• Continued evidence by morphology and flow cytometry of bone marrow involvement after at least one cycle of salvage chemotherapy.

• ≥3 cycles of salvage chemotherapy following documentation of lymphoma relapse or disease progression.

• (In patients with CD20(+) lymphoma) History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to Rituxan®.

• Positive pregnancy test in female patients.

• Lactating female patients.

• Previously received experimental therapy within 4 weeks of enrolling in this protocol or currently enrolled in another experimental protocol during G-CSF Mobilization Phase.

• Creatinine >1.5 x ULN.

• Bilirubin >1.5 x ULN.

• Ejection fraction <45%.

• Diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) <50%.

• Patients of childbearing potential unwilling to implement adequate birth control.

• A co-morbid condition that renders the patient at high risk from treatment complications.

• Residual acute medical condition resulting from prior chemotherapy.
