Two Step Haplo With Radiation Conditioning

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess the 2 year cumulative incidence of TRM in patients undergoing reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) haploidentical (HI) HSCT in this protocol.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the 2 year cumulative incidence of relapse in patients undergoing RIC HI HSCT in this protocol.

II. To assess the consistency and pace of engraftment. III. To assess the pace of T cell and B cell immune recovery. IV. To assess the incidence and severity of graft versus host disease (GVHD).

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.

RADIATION-BASED COHORT: Patients receive fludarabine intravenously (IV) on days -11, -10, -9, and -8, undergo total-body irradiation (TBI) twice a day (BID) on days -10 and -9, undergo donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) on day -6, and receive cyclophosphamide IV on days -3 and -2. Patients begin tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil IV on day -1. Patients then undergo HSCT on day 0. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo bone marrow biopsy/aspiration, imaging and blood sample collection throughout the study.

CHEMOTHERAPY-BASED COHORT: Patients receive fludarabine IV on days -11, -10, -9, and -8 and melphalan IV on days -10 and -9. Patients undergo TBI and DLI once on day -6. Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV on days -3 and -2 and begin tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil on day -1. Patients undergo HSCT on day 0. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo bone marrow biopsy/aspiration, imaging and blood sample collection throughout the study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 2 years.
