Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Leukemia
Interventions
Procedure: Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation
Procedure: Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation
Radiation: Total Body Irradiation (TBI)
Registration Number
NCT00002844
Lead Sponsor
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bone marrow transplantation in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: Examine the potential role for high dose cyclophosphamide, total body irradiation and bone marrow transplantation for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who are at high risk for disease progression.

OUTLINE: Patients receive daily intravenous infusions of cyclophosphamide for two days, followed by total body irradiation in four daily exposures. After completion of the total body irradiation, allogeneic or autologous bone marrow is infused intravenously.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 50 patients are expected to be accrued.
