ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00060424
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. Giving chemotherapy before or after peripheral blood stem cell transplant also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells 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 cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before and after the transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies how well giving fludarabine phosphate together with total-body irradiation before donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant works in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic leukemia.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine whether nonmyeloablative allogeneic HSCT from matched-related donors can improve the probability of survival 18 months after treatment for fludarabine-refractory, FCR-failed, or del 17p CLL beyond that observed in historical controls (30%).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the rate of relapse with allogeneic HSCT using nonmyeloablative conditioning for patients with fludarabine-refractory, FCR-failed, or del 17p CLL compared with historical data on autologous HSCT.

II. To estimate the incidence of grade 2-4 acute GVHD and chronic GVHD in patients with CLL treated with low-dose TBI, fludarabine, PBSC infusion and immunosuppression with cyclosporine and mycophenylate mofetil.

III. To characterize the rate and types of infections with this regimen. IV. To estimate the rate of transplant-related mortality in the first 200 days.

OUTLINE:

NONMYELOABLATIVE CONDITIONING: Patients receive fludarabine IV on days -4 to -2 and total-body irradiation on day 0.

TRANSPLANT: Patients undergo allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant on day 0.

GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive oral cyclosporine every 12 hours on days -3 to 180 with taper on day 56 and oral mycophenolate mofetil every 12 hours on days 0-27.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 12 and 18 months, and then annually thereafter for 5 years.

  • Failed to meet NCI Working Group criteria for complete or partial response after therapy with a regimen containing fludarabine (or another nucleoside analog, e.g. 2-CDA, pentostatin) or experience disease relapse within 12 months after completing therapy with a regimen containing fludarabine (or another nucleoside analog
  • Failed FCR combination chemotherapy at any time point
  • Had de novo of acquired "17p deletion" cytogenetic abnormality; patients should have received induction chemotherapy but could be transplanted in 1st CR
