Reduced-Intensity Regimen Before Allogeneic Transplant for Patients With Relapsed Non-Hodgkin's or Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Lymphoma
Interventions
Procedure: Extracorporeal Photopheresis
Radiation: Total body irradiation (TBI)
Procedure: Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation
Registration Number
NCT00057954
Lead Sponsor
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Photopheresis allows patient white blood cells to be treated with ultraviolet (UV) light and drugs outside the body to inactivate T cells. Pentostatin may suppress the immune system and reduce the chance of developing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following bone marrow transplantation. Combining photopheresis with pentostatin and total-body irradiation may be effective in killing cancer cells before bone marrow transplantation.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving photophoresis together with pentostatin and total-body irradiation as a reduced-intensity regimen before allogeneic bone marrow transplantation works in treating patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin's or Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the rate of stable engraftment of donor cells in patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin's or Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with a reduced toxicity conditioning regimen followed by allogeneic (sibling or unrelated) bone marrow transplantation.

* Determine the extent and duration of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients treated with this regimen.

* Determine the 100-day overall survival and long-term progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.

* Evaluate the feasibility of collection of molecular chimerism studies at baseline, days 30, 100, 6 months and one and two years and at relapse.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

* Conditioning regimen: Patients undergo extracorporeal photopheresis using methoxsalen and UV light on 2 consecutive days between days -7 to -4. Patients receive pentostatin intravenously (IV) continuously on days -3 to -2 and undergo total body irradiation on day -1.

* Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation: Patients undergo infusion of allogeneic bone marrow or stem cells on day 0.

* Graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis: Patients receive oral or IV cyclosporine beginning on day -1 and continuing until 6 months after transplantation, oral mycofenolate mofetil beginning on day 100 and continuing for 1 year, and methotrexate IV on days 1 and 3.

Patients are followed at day 100, every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 36 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.8 years.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of Participants With Successful EngraftmentAssessed daily during inpatient stay
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
100-day Overall SurvivalAssessed at least twice a week for the first 60 days and weekly until day 100.

Proportion of patients who survived 100 days or more after enrolled on the study

Progression-free SurvivalAssessed day 100 post transplant and every 3 months during year 1, every 6 months during years 2-3, then every 12 months during years 4-5 or through diagnosis of disease progression

Progression-free survival was defined as time from enrollment to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Patients who did not have progression-free survival events were censored at last date of disease assessment.
