Trial Information

Exploratory Study of Non-Myeloablative Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation and Donor Lymphocyte Infusions for Metastatic Neoplasms Refractory to Standard Therapy


The main objective of this study is to identify metastatic neoplasms, which may be
susceptible to the GVT effect. We will treat patients with progressive metastatic solid
tumors refractory to standard therapy with a non-myeloablative allogeneic PBSC transplant
from a family donor. A GVT effect from immunocompetent donor immune cells could extend life
expectancy and possibly cure such patients.

Eligible patients will be treated with an allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant
from an HLA identical or single HLA antigen-mismatched family donor, using an intensive
immunosuppressive regimen without myeloablation ("mini-transplant") in an attempt to
decrease the transplant related toxicities while preserving the anti-malignancy and/or
anti-host marrow effect of the graft. The low intensity non-myeloablative conditioning
regimen should provide adequate immunosuppression to allow stem cell and lymphocyte
engraftment. A T-cell replete, donor-derived, granulocyte colony stimulating factor
(G-CSF)-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) will be used to establish hematopoietic
and lymphoid reconstitution. We will infuse lymphocytes in patients with < 100% donor
T-cell chimerism or with evidence of tumor progression in an attempt to prevent graft
rejection and enhance a graft-versus-malignancy effect, respectively.

This trial is open to several different types of metastatic, treatment-refractory, solid
neoplasms, breast, cholangiocarcinoma, small intestine/colon/rectal adenocarcinoma,
esophageal/gastric, hepatocellular, pancreatic, prostate, and bony/soft tissue sarcomas.
The trial design permits up to 10 patients with a specific tumor type to be enrolled to
screen for anti-tumor effects. A single complete response in a specific tumor type is an
indication to exclude further patients with that diagnosis from the study. Subsequently, a
new protocol which focuses on further defining a GVT effect in that disease category will be
instituted.

Inclusion Criteria


- INCLUSION CRITERIA:

PATIENTS:

Patients with metastatic solid tumors ( breast, cholangiocarcinoma, small
intestine/colon/rectal, adenocarcinoma, esophageal/gastric, hepatocellular, pancreatic,

incurable.

Due to low accrual, effective 12/19/2006, patients with adrenal, basal cell, transitional
cell carcinoma of the bladder or uroepithelium, ovarian, small cell lung cancer, non small
cell lung cancer, and adenocarcinomas of unknown primary origin are no longer eligible for
the trial.

definitely capable of extending life expectancy.

Metastatic disease, which is bi-dimensionally evaluable radiographically.

No prior treatment for neoplasm within 30 days.

Ability to comprehend the investigational nature of the study and provide informed
consent.

Availability of HLA identical or single HLA-locus mismatched family donor.

DONOR:

HLA identical or single HLA-locus mismatched family donor.

Age greater than or equal to 10 up to 80 years old.

consent.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

PATIENT:

Pregnant or lactating.

Age less than 10 or greater than 80 years.

Donor unfit to receive G-CSF and undergo apheresis. (Uncontrolled hypertension, history
of congestive heart failure or unstable angina, thrombocytopenia).

Age less than 10 or greater than 80 years.

discretion of the investigator following counseling and approval from the recipient.

Type of Study:

Observational

Study Design:

N/A

Outcome Measure:

To identify an anti-tumor effect of allogeneic PBSC transplantation by induction of a graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect in patients with a diversity of metastatic solid tumors, which are refractory to standard therapy.
