H-9033, NCT00586547

Objectives

  1. To determine the number of donor lymphocytes that can be given to recipients of haploidentical stem cell transplants after depletion of recipient-reactive T lymphocytes by ex-vivo treatment with a fixed dose of RFT5-dgA immunotoxin, and will result in a rate of grade III/IV graft-versus-host disease ≤ 25%.
  2. To analyze immune reconstitution in these patients.
  3. To measure their overall and disease-free survival at 100 days and at 1 year.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Confirmed diagnosis of one of the following:
    • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia meeting the following criteria:
      • Stage III or IV disease
      • Relapsed disease or primary refractory disease
    • Stage III or IV high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma meeting 1 of the following criteria:
      • Relapsed disease
      • Primary refractory disease
    • Myelodysplastic syndromes
    • Acute myeloid leukemia after first relapse or with primary refractory disease
    • Chronic myelogenous leukemia hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis
    • Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis
    • Viral-associated hemophagocytic syndrome
    • X-linked lymphoproliferative disease with severe, chronic, active Epstein-Barr virus infection with predilection for T- or NK-cell malignancy


  • Lack of suitable conventional donor (i.e., 5/6 or 6/6 related or 5/6 or 6/6 unrelated donor) or presence of a rapidly progressive disease not permitting time to identify an unrelated donor


 [Note: A new classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ. The terminology of "indolent" or "aggressive" lymphoma will replace the former terminology of "low", "intermediate", or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol uses the former terminology.]

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • Not specified

Patient Characteristics:

  • Life expectancy > 6 months (not limited by disease other than leukemia)
  • No symptomatic cardiac disease or evidence of significant cardiac disease by echocardiogram (i.e., shortening fraction < 25%)
  • Creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min
  • No pre-existing severe restrictive pulmonary disease
  • FVC ≥ 40% of predicted
  • Direct bilirubin ≤ 3 μg/dL
  • AST ≤ 500 μg/dL
  • No severe personality disorder or mental illness that would preclude compliance with the study
  • No severe infection that would precluded ablative chemotherapy or successful transplantation
  • No HIV positivity

Expected Enrollment

24

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Number of donor lymphocytes given to patients

Secondary Outcome(s)

Immune reconstitution
Overall survival at 100 days and 1 year
Disease-free survival at 100 days and 1 year

Outline

  • Preparative regimen: Patients receive cytarabine IV every 12 hours on days -8 to -5, cyclophosphamide IV on days -7 to -6, and alemtuzumab IV on days -3 to -1. Patients also undergo total body irradiation twice daily on days -4 to -1.


  • Stem cell infusion: Patients undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation.


  • Allogeneic T-cell infusion: Patients undergo allogeneic T- cell transplantation.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
