Low Dose Total-Body Irradiation And Fludarabine Followed By HLA Matched Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation For Hematologic Malgnancies - A Multi-Center Study


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the response rate and duration of response in patients with low-risk
hematologic malignancies treated with low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI) and
fludarabine followed by HLA-matched allogeneic stem cell transplantation followed by a
slow immunosuppression taper and donor leukocyte infusions (DLI).

- Determine the response rate and duration of response in patients with high-risk
hematologic malignancies treated with low-dose TBI and fludarabine followed by
HLA-matched allogeneic stem cell transplantation followed by a faster immunosuppression
taper and DLI.

- Determine the incidence and extent of graft-versus-host disease, regimen-related
toxicity, and engraftment in patients treated with these regimens.

- Assess the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups (high-risk vs
low-risk hematologic malignancy). The high-risk group includes acute myelogenous leukemia,
myelodysplastic syndromes, accelerated phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), second
chronic phase CML, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The low-risk group includes Hodgkin's
lymphoma, first chronic phase CML, multiple myeloma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Patients receive fludarabine IV on days -4 to -2. Patients undergo total-body irradiation on
day 0 followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Patients also receive oral
mycophenolate mofetil on days 0-28.

High-risk patients receive oral cyclosporine twice daily on days -2 to day 60. Patients with
persistent disease, T-cell chimerism, and no graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) on day 90 receive
up to 3 doses of donor leukocyte infusion (DLI) over the next 4 months.

Low-risk patients receive oral cyclosporine twice daily on days -2 to day 150. Patients with
persistent disease, T-cell chimerism, and no GVHD on day 180 receive up to 3 doses of DLI
over the next 4 months.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months.

Patients are followed at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and then annually for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 120 patients (60 per group) will be accrued for this study.

Inclusion Criteria

- Diagnosis of one of the following hematologic malignancies:

- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)

- First or second chronic phase

- Accelerated phase

- Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)

- At least second remission

- First remission allowed if poor-risk features are present (complex
chromosome karyotype, abnormalities of chromosomes, especially 5 or 7,
12p-, +13, +8, t[9:11])

- Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)

- Intermediate- or high-risk disease by the prognostic scoring system

- Multiple myeloma (MM)

- Hodgkin's lymphoma

- Second or greater relapse

- First relapse allowed if disease-free interval is less than 1 year
