NCI-V94-0412

Objectives

I.  Evaluate the hematopoietic toxicity of zidovudine (ZDV) in patients 
undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for HIV-associated 
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

II.  Examine the effect of ZDV on donor hematopoietic/lymphoid cells in HIV-1 
seropositive patients who undergo transplantation.

III.  Assess immune reconstitution following transplantation.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:


HIV-associated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at good risk for allogeneic bone marrow
transplant, i.e., either:
  In first remission, or
  Relapsed with limited disease

HIV-1 antibody-positive and one of the following:
  HIV-1 lymphocyte culture-positive
  P24 antigenemic
  Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive for DNA or RNA

HLA-identical related donor who is HIV-1 antibody and PCR seronegative
required
  No T-cell-depleted donor marrow

No visceral involvement with Kaposi's sarcoma (e.g., of lung, liver)

Absolute CD4+ T-cell lymphocyte count greater than 200 at time of initial
referral

No current or prior history of the following infections:
  Mycobacterium avium intracellular
  Toxoplasmosis
  Cryptococcoses
  Cytomegalovirus retinitis
  Cytomegalovirus pneumonitis
  Acyclovir-resistant Herpes simplex

No other current life-threatening infection that would preclude bone marrow
transplantation
  Re-evaluation allowed following resolution


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:


Antiviral therapy:
  No more than 90 days of prior ZDV therapy unless ID 50 in vitro sensitivity
  testing of HIV-1 isolate is less than 1 micromolar


Patient Characteristics:


Age:
  12 and over

Other:
  No abnormal neurocognitive findings
  No sensory/motor peripheral neuropathy
  No pregnant or nursing women
  Effective contraception required of fertile women


Expected Enrollment

10 patients will be entered; the study will be stopped and re-evaluated if any 
2 patients fail to engraft following ABMT or if 5 patients survive longer than 
12 months and are free of HIV-1 infection.

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.
