Augmenting Bone Marrow With CD34 Enriched Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells for Allogeneic Transplantation of Hematologic Malignancies
Augmenting Bone Marrow With CD34 Enriched Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells for Allogeneic Transplantation of Hematologic Malignancies
RATIONALE: Bone marrow and peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy used to kill tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of bone marrow and peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have hematologic cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Patients undergo allogeneic transplantation comprising unmanipulated bone marrow with filgrastim (G-CSF)-mobilized, CD34+ enriched peripheral blood stem cells on day 0.
Patients receive graft-vs-host disease prophylaxis comprising cyclosporine IV over 24 hours on day -1 and methylprednisolone IV or oral prednisone daily on days 7-65. Patients also receive G-CSF subcutaneously daily until blood counts recover.
Patients are followed weekly for 3 months, at 6 months and 1 year, and then annually for 5 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30-60 patients will be accrued for this study.
