Cyclophosphamide and Antithymocyte Globulin Followed By Methotrexate and Cyclosporine in Preventing Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease in Patients With Severe Aplastic Anemia Undergoing a Donor Bone Marrow Transplant

  Purpose

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, before a donor bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of abnormal cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's bone marrow. The donated bone marrow stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining abnormal cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving a smaller than usual dose of bone marrow stem cells and giving antithymocyte globulin, cyclosporine and methotrexate before or after transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cyclophosphamide together with antithymocyte globulin followed by methotrexate and cyclosporine works in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients with severe aplastic anemia undergoing a reduced-dose donor bone marrow transplant.

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Incidence of chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Correlate cell populations with incidence of chronic GVHD [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Marrow inocula content of natural killer cells, dendritic cells, CD34, CD20, CD14, CD4, CD3, CD8, and naïve and memory T cells [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Engraftment and overall survival at 100 days and annually thereafter [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 150
Study Start Date: February 2006
Estimated Primary Completion Date: February 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Minimize the incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by restricting the transplanted marrow dose in patients with severe aplastic anemia undergoing HLA-matched related bone marrow transplantation.
  • Develop a better understanding of which cell subpopulations in the graft might contribute to chronic GVHD.
  • Determine the content of natural killer cells, dendritic cells, CD34, CD20, CD14, CD4, CD3, CD8, and naïve and memory T cells in the marrow inocula.

Secondary

  • Assess engraftment and overall survival of these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours on days -5 to -2 and antithymocyte globulin IV over 4-10 hours on days -4 to -2. Patients undergo an allogeneic reduced-dose bone marrow transplantation on day 0. Patients also receive methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11 and cyclosporine IV over 1 hour or orally twice daily on days -1 to 50, followed by a taper.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 100 days and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 150 patients will be accrued for this study.
