Achievement of > 90% (Full) Donor Chimerism in the T-cell Lineage as Measured by PCR at Day 30 Post-transplantation

Chimerism analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells using PCR for STR/VNTR will be performed post transplant. On each occasion, the peripheral blood will be separated into the T-cell component (using e.g. CD3 selection) and the myeloid component (using e.g.CD14/15 selection) before assessment of chimerism.

Secondary Outcome Measures

T-cell and Myeloid Chimerism at Days 180 Post-transplantation (>90%)

Number of Patients Who Experience Severe (Grade 3 or 4) Acute Graft-versus-host Disease

number of patients who experienced post-transplant complication (GVHD) as seen by clinical evidence including but not limited to skin rash, elevated liver function tests, nausea/vomiting/diarrhea.

Number of Patients Experiencing Extensive Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)

Patients who had post-transplant complication (GVHD) as seen by clinical evidence including but not limited to skin rash, elevated liver function tests, nausea/vomiting/diarrhea.

Non-relapse Mortality (NRM) at Day 180 Post-transplantation

non-relapse mortality refers to the death of a patient for causes other than relapsed disease.

Disease-free Survival (DFS) at 24 Months

Disease Free survival is measured by the amount of time a patient spends in a disease free state after being transplanted.

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop 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 antithymocyte globulin before the transplant and tacrolimus and methotrexate after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving antithymocyte globulin together with cyclophosphamide, busulfan, and fludarabine works in treating patients with hematological cancer or kidney cancer undergoing donor stem cell transplant.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: To assess the percentage of patients with hematological malignancies or renal cell carcinoma who achieve > 90% donor T-cell chimerism at 30 days after treatment with reduced-intensity conditioning comprising low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin, low-dose cyclophosphamide, busulfan, and fludarabine phosphate followed by allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation from a matched related donor. To assess the incidence of severe (grade 3 or 4) acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and extensive chronic GVHD in these patients. To assess whether this regimen is associated with reduced transplant-related toxicity and increased tolerability in these patients. To assess the overall safety of this conditioning regimen as measured by 6-month transplant-related mortality in these patients. To determine the efficacy of this regimen in inducing durable remissions in these patients. OUTLINE: Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC): Patients receive anti-thymocyte globulin IV over 4-6 hours on day -16 and over 6-8 hours on day -15, fludarabine phosphate IV over 30 minutes on days -7 to -3, busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -4 and -3, and cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours on day -2. Transplantation: Patients undergo allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation on day 0. Graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive oral tacrolimus every 12 hours on days -1 to 90, followed by a taper until day 150. Patients also receive methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, and 6. Blood samples are collected periodically for pharmacokinetic studies of anti-thymocyte globulin and PCR analysis for chimerism. After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for up to 3 years.

Intervention Type

Procedure

Intervention Name(s)

nonmyeloablative allogeneic HSCT

Intervention Description

As demonstrated by groups in Houston, Jerusalem & Seattle, RICT has been used to treat hematologic & solid malignancies with related & unrelated donors. Although adequate comparisons of RICT versus ablative alloHCT remain to be reported, the studies of RICT so far suggest that TRM is generally less than would be expected for similar patients undergoing ablative alloHCT; incidence of acute & chronic GVHD is similar or less than ablative alloHCT; autologous hematopoietic recovery is more common than seen following ablative alloHCT if graft failure occurs; powerful GVT effects can be seen but are dependent on high levels of donor T-cell chimerism and RICT are less effective than ablative alloHCT in controlling aggressive malignancies
