Transplantation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells From HLA-compatible Donors in Patients With B-Cell Lymphoid Malignancies

NCT04684979

Description:

This research study is being conducted to treat patients with B-cell lymphoid malignancies. These types of cancers include diffuse large cell (DLBCL) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), mantle cell NHL, any indolent B cell NHL (such as follicular, small cell or marginal zone NHL), or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Patients with these types of lymphomas have been shown to benefit from peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). PBSCT uses healthy blood stem cells from a donor to replace your diseased or damaged bone marrow. Before undergoing PBSCT, you'll receive chemotherapy and/or radiation to destroy your diseased cells and prepare your body for the donor cells. This is called a "conditioning regimen." Non-myeloablative (NMA) conditioning causes minimal cell death. This research study will look at a course of treatment using NMA conditioning regimen including low dose chemotherapy and low dose radiation as well as rituximab and PBSCT from a compatible donor. The primary aim is to obtain a preliminary estimate of the overall and event-free survival 1 year post-transplant after NMA.

Purpose

This research study is being conducted to treat patients with B-cell lymphoid malignancies. These types of cancers include diffuse large cell (DLBCL) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), mantle cell NHL, any indolent B cell NHL (such as follicular, small cell or marginal zone NHL), or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Patients with these types of lymphomas have been shown to benefit from peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). PBSCT uses healthy blood stem cells from a donor to replace your diseased or damaged bone marrow. Before undergoing PBSCT, you'll receive chemotherapy and/or radiation to destroy your diseased cells and prepare your body for the donor cells. This is called a "conditioning regimen." Non-myeloablative (NMA) conditioning causes minimal cell death. This research study will look at a course of treatment using NMA conditioning regimen including low dose chemotherapy and low dose radiation as well as rituximab and PBSCT from a compatible donor. The primary aim is to obtain a preliminary estimate of the overall and event-free survival 1 year post-transplant after NMA.

Detailed Description

      This is a phase 2 study of a treatment regimen consisting of a non-myeloablative (NMA)
      conditioning regimen incorporating low dose chemotherapy and low dose radiation as well as
      peri-transplant Rituximab and the transplantation of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) from
      an HLA compatible related or unrelated donor in patients with B cell lymphoid malignancies
      including diffuse large cell (DLBCLC) and mantle cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (MCL), indolent
      B cell NHL, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The study design will be based on a total
      of 90 patients, 30 recipients of related matched and 60 recipients of mismatched related or
      unrelated PBSCT.

      It is anticipated that the accrual will last 5-6 years. At the conclusion of the study, the
      safety and a preliminary assessment of efficacy of NMA PBSCT will be determined. The
      treatment will be declared efficacious if the disease-free survival at 1 year in this patient
      population is at least 50%.

HLA-compatible Related DonorExperimentalThis is a phase 2 study to evaluate NMA PBSCT incorporating peri-transplant rituximab and utilizing PBSC to augment graft cell dose in patients with selected B lymphoid malignancies. Salvage chemotherapy will be required as part of transplant eligibility, both to achieve debulking of disease to allow sufficient time for the development of a post-transplant GVL effect, and to contribute to recipient immune suppression and thus facilitate donor engraftment.
