Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
- Conditions
- Leukemia
- Interventions
- Procedure: Allogeneic Bone Marrow TransplantationProcedure: Autologous Bone Marrow TransplantationRadiation: 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.
