Description
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of decitabine in combination with FLAG-Ida, TBI, and HCT followed by a phase II study.
DONORS: Participants undergo apheresis for collection of PBSCs on study.
PATIENTS: Patients receive decitabine intravenously (IV) daily over 1 hour on days -12 to -10, -14 to -10, -16 to -10, or -19 to -10, filgrastim subcutaneously (SC) daily on days -9 to -4, idarubicin IV over 60 minutes daily on days -8 to -6, fludarabine IV over 30 minutes daily on days -8 to -4, cytarabine IV over 2 hours daily on days -8 to -4, and undergo TBI twice daily (BID) on day -1 or 0 OR daily on days -1 and 0 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo HCT (receive donor PBSCs via infusion) on day 0. Patients also undergo multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiography (ECHO) during screening, chest X-rays and bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy during screening and as clinically indicated, and collection of blood samples throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
