Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant Followed by Donor Bone Marrow Transplant in Treating Patients With High-Risk Hodgkin Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Sequential Autologous HCT / Nonmyeloablative Allogeneic HCT Using Related, HLA-Haploidentical Donors for Patients With High-Risk Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

This phase II trial studies autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant followed by donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Autologous stem cell transplantation uses the patient's stem cells and does not cause graft versus host disease (GVHD) and has a very low risk of death, while minimizing the number of cancer cells. Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant uses stem cells from the patient or a donor and may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. These donated stem cells may help destroy cancer cells. Bone marrow transplant known as a nonmyeloablative transplant uses stem cells from a haploidentical family donor. Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant followed by donor bone marrow transplant may work better in treating patients with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

OUTLINE:

CONDITIONING REGIMEN 1 (lymphoma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia [CLL] with no dose limiting radiation or significant comorbidities: Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) on days -6 and -5. Patients undergo high-dose total body irradiation (TBI) twice daily (BID) on days -3 to -1.

CONDITIONING REGIMEN 2 (lymphoma, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, CLL, with prior dose-limiting radiation, or significant comorbidities): Patients receive carmustine IV on day -7, etoposide IV BID on days -6 to -3, cytarabine IV BID on days -6 to -3, and melphalan IV on day -2.

CONDITIONING REGIMEN 3 (multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia, with no significant renal insufficiency or other significant comorbidities): Patients receive high-dose melphalan IV on day -2.

CONDITIONING REGIMEN 4 (multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia, with significant renal insufficiency or other significant comorbidities): Patients receive lessened dose of melphalan IV on day -2.

PBSC TRANSPLANTATION: All patients undergo autologous PBSC transplantation on day 0.

WAITING INTERVAL: Between 40 and 120 days.

NONMYELOABLATIVE CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate IV once daily (QD) on days -6 to -2 and cyclophosphamide IV QD on days -6 to -5 and day 3. Patients infused with donor's peripheral blood stem cells will additionally receive cyclophosphamide IV on day 4. Patients undergo low-dose TBI on day -1.

GRAFT VERSUS HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS: Beginning on day 4, patients receive tacrolimus orally (PO) or IV and taper beginning on day 86 if no graft-versus-host disease. Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil PO thrice daily (TID) on days 4 - 35.

PERIPHERAL BLOOD COUNT SUPPORT: Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) IV or subcutaneously (SC) beginning from day 4 and continue till blood counts recover.

ALLOGENEIC PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS (PBMC) TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo donor PBMC transplantation on day 0.

GRAFT VERSUS HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS: Beginning on day 5, patients receive tacrolimus orally (PO) or IV and taper beginning on day 86 if no graft-versus-host disease. Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil PO thrice daily (TID) on days 5 - 35.

PERIPHERAL BLOOD COUNT SUPPORT: Patients receive filgrastim IV or SC beginning from day 5 and continue till blood counts recover.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up annually for 5 years.
