Minimal Ablation and Cellular Immune Therapy of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Prolymphocytic Leukemia, Low-Grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and Mantle Cell Lymphoma With Allogeneic Donor Stem Cells


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the feasibility of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide followed by allogeneic
peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, in terms of 6-month treatment-related
mortality, in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, prolymphocytic leukemia,
low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, or mantle cell lymphoma.

- Determine the 6-month and 12-month probabilities of response in patients treated with
this regimen.

- Determine the time to disease progression in patients responding to this regimen.

- Determine the percentage of donor chimerism achieved in patients treated with this
regimen.

- Determine the risk of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients treated
with this regimen.

- Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the overall survival and disease-free survival of patients treated with this
regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -7 to -3 and cyclophosphamide IV
over 1 to 2 hours on days -5 to -3. Patients undergo allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell
transplantation on days 0-1. Patients then receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily
beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover.

Patients with no signs of active graft-versus host disease and stable or progressive disease
receive donor lymphocytes IV over 2 hours beginning after day 120. Patients may receive a
total of 3 infusions at least 8 weeks apart if disease remains stable or progressive.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 45 patients will be accrued for this study.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

lymphocytosis or a progressive lymph node or spleen enlargement (at
least 25% enlargement or the appearance of new lymph nodes) that
persists for at least 4 weeks despite concurrent or prior drug
treatment OR

- At least 1 of the following high-risk factors and not in first complete
remission

= 17p deletion = 11q deletion

- Small lymphocytic lymphoma

- Follicular center lymphoma (grade I or II)

- Diffuse (predominately small cell type)

- Marginal zone, B-cell lymphoma

- No transformed lymphoma

- Failure of at least 1 prior regimen OR

- At least 3 of the following risk factors:

- Over 60 years of age

- Performance status greater than 1

- LDH greater than normal

- More than 1 site of extranodal disease

- Disease stage III or IV

- Mantle cell lymphoma

- Any stage

- Ineligible for protocol CALGB-59908

- At least 1 prior treatment regimen

- At least 1 of the following:

- Immunophenotypic expression of CD5 and CD19 and absence of CD23

- Cytogenetic analysis with presence of t(11;14)

- Overexpression of cyclin D1

- Responsive or stable disease to most recent prior therapy

- Prior therapy for PLL not required

- Must have HLA identical sibling (6/6) donor by serologic typing (A, B, DR)

- No syngeneic donors

- No age restriction 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.
