Study summary

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and busulfan, and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells from bone marrow or umbilical cord blood may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving methotrexate and cyclosporine after transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well a donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with previously treated lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine if allogeneic stem cell transplantation using unrelated matched or related haploidentical donor bone marrow or unrelated matched cord blood results in timely, complete, and durable engraftment in patients with previously treated lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  • Determine the incidence and grade of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine if the augmented graft-versus-tumor effect accompanying unrelated or partially matched donor allogeneic transplant reduces the incidence of relapse in these patients.

OUTLINE:

  • Preparative regimen: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -7 and -6 and undergo total-body irradiation (TBI) twice daily on days -4 to -1. Patients who are unable to undergo TBI receive busulfan IV or orally 4 times daily on days -9 to -6 and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -5 to -2.
  • Stem cell transplantation: All patients undergo unrelated matched bone marrow or umbilical cord blood transplantation or partially matched related allogeneic bone marrow transplantation on day 0.
  • Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive GVHD prophylaxis comprising methotrexate and cyclosporine. Patients may be enrolled in other protocols directed towards GVHD prophylaxis.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No available histocompatible related donor; 2nd bone marrow transplant (BMT), -1 positive; active uncontrolled infection; or resistant .
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
