About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Leukemia focused on measuring refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Cyclophosphamide, Cytoxan, Neosar, Bone Marrow Transplantation, total body irradiation, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, allogeneic, autologous
Eligibility Criteria
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients after initial relapse who have achieved a complete or partial remission with fludarabine therapy or after initial relapse or progression Prolymphocytic leukemia in first remission or after relapse Patients 15-65 years old who lack an HLA-identical sibling are eligible for autologous BM transplantation Patients 16-50 years old with an HLA identical or one antigen mismatched related donor are eligible for allogeneic BM transplantation PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Age: 15-65 (See Disease Characteristics) Performance status: Zubrod no more than 2 Hematopoietic: Not specified Hepatic: Bilirubin no greater than 1.5 mg/dL Renal: Creatinine no greater than 1.5 mg/dL Cardiovascular: Cardiac ejection fraction at least 50% Pulmonary: DLCO at least 50% of predicted Other: No severe concomitant medical or psychiatric illnesses PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY: No extensive prior radiotherapy which would prevent administration of total body radiation Patients may also participate in study MDA-DM-92082 for retroviral gene marking of the autologous marrow and blood cells
