HLA-HAPLOIDENTICAL FAMILIAL DONOR HEMATOPOIETIC CELL TRANSPLANTATION AFTER REDUCED INTENSITY CONDITIONING OF BUSULFAN, FLUDARABINE, AND ANTI-THYMOCYTE GLOBULIN FOR ADULT PATIENTS WITH HEMATOLOGIC MALIGNANCIES AND MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME - A PHASE 2 STUDY


OBJECTIVES:

- To evaluate the efficacy of HLA-haploidentical familial donor hematopoietic cell
transplantation with a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen of busulfan, fludarabine
phosphate, and anti-thymocyte globulin in patients with hematologic malignancies or
myelodysplastic syndromes.

OUTLINE: Before receiving the reduced-intensity conditioning regimen, patients receive one
dose of intrathecal (IT) methotrexate, then leucovorin calcium IV or orally 4 hours after
methotrexate and every 6 hours for a total of 8 doses.

- Reduced-intensity conditioning regimen: Patients receive busulfan IV over 6 hours on
days -7 and -6, fludarabine phosphate IV over 30 minutes on days -7 to -2,
anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) IV over 4 hours on days -4 to -1, and methylprednisolone
IV over 30 minutes on days -4 to -1.

- HLA-haploidentical familial donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT):
Patients undergo allogeneic HSCT over 1 hour on days 0 and 1.

- Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive cyclosporine IV* over
2-4 hours every 12 hours on days -1 to 30 followed by a taper until day 60 and
methotrexate IV on days 2, 4 , 7, and 12.

NOTE: *Cyclosporine can be given orally once oral medication can be tolerated

- CNS prophylaxis: When blood counts recover, patients with acute leukemia or chronic
myelogenous leukemia in blastic crisis resume IT methotrexate once every 2 weeks for a
total of 4 doses (including the dose given before the conditioning regimen) and
leucovorin calcium IV or orally 4 hours after (each dose of methotrexate) and every 6
hours for a total of 8 doses.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 3 years.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Diagnosis of 1 of the following hematological malignancies:

- Acute leukemia, including any of the following:

- Refractory acute leukemia

- Acute leukemia beyond first remission

- Acute leukemia in first remission with intermediate to poor prognostic
features as suggested by chromosomal findings

- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)

- Second chronic phase

- Accelerated phase

- Blastic phase

- Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)

- High-risk MDS (refractory anemia with excess blasts [RAEB], RAEB in
transformation, and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia) can be transplanted
without prior therapy or after prior therapy failure with hypomethylating
agents

- Low-risk MDS can be considered for transplantation after prior therapy
failure with immunosuppressive or hypomethylating agents

- No willing, suitable HLA-matched donor in family or in donor registries

- Patients with active hematologic malignancy, who are felt to be in urgent need
of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, can enroll without a search
for HLA-matched unrelated donors

- Related donor with HLA-haploidentical mismatch at 3 or less of 6 loci available

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

- Karnofsky performance status 70-100%

- Bilirubin < 2.0 mg/dL

- Creatinine < 2.0 mg/dL

- AST < 3 times upper limit of normal

- Ejection fraction > 40% by MUGA
