ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00006056
  Purpose

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy of unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of patients with life threatening hemophagocytic disorders. II. Determine the rate of disease free survival, incidence of graft failure, and incidence of graft versus host disease in these patients after undergoing this treatment regimen.

Estimated Enrollment: 40
Study Start Date: March 2000
Detailed Description:

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients receive oral busulfan twice a day on days -9 to -6; cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -5 to -2; etoposide IV over 4 hours on days -5 to -3; and anti-thymocyte globulin IV twice a day on days -2 and -1 and days 1 and 2. Patients undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on day 0. Filgrastim (G-CSF) is administered subcutaneously beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients receive graft versus host disease prophylaxis with methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11 and cyclosporine IV over 1-4 hours (orally once the patients resumes eating) every 12 hours (every 8 hours for pediatric patients) starting on or prior to day -3 and continuing up to 1 year.

Patients are followed at days 28 and 100, at 6 months and 1 year, and then annually for 5 years.

  • Fibrinogen no greater than 1.5 g/L or no greater than 3 standard deviations above normal
  • Cytopenia (affecting at least 2 of 3 lineages in the peripheral blood)
  • Hemoglobin less than 9.0 g/L
  • Platelet count less than 100,000/mm3

X-linked lymphoproliferative disorder (XLP)

Two or more maternally related males manifesting at least one of the following XLP phenotypes:

  • Fulminant infectious mononucleosis
  • Dysgammaglobulinemia
  • Malignant lymphoma/lymphoproliferative disorder
  • Aplastic anemia
  • Lymphoid granulomatosis/vasculitis OR

Chediak-Higashi syndrome

Partial oculocutaneous albinism (hair, skin, eyes)

Frequent bacterial infections

Large peroxidase positive granules in leukocytes of peripheral blood or bone marrow

Positive family history or parental consanguinity is supportive of the diagnosis

Viral associated hemophagocytic syndrome (VAHS)

Relapsed after prior therapy or supportive care

Diagnostic criteria as for HLH

No hemophagocytic disorders secondary to underlying malignancy

  • HLA A and B identical OR
  • Single HLA A or B serologic mismatch with DRB1 identity OR
  • HLA A or B serologic identity with a single DRB1 mismatch

Patients 36 to 55 years of age must have a hematopoietic stem cell donor that is one of the following:

  • HLA A and B and HLA DRB1 identical OR
  • Single HLA A or B serologic mismatch with DRB1 identity

Patients receiving umbilical cord blood must have an unrelated donor with no more than two antigen HLA A, B, or DRB1 mismatches
