Reduced Intensity Total Body Irradiation + Thymoglobulin Followed by Allogeneic PBSCT
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Leukemia, Multiple Myeloma
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma focused on measuring total body irradiation, Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation, thymoglobulin
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with hematological malignancies for which allogeneic stem cell transplantation indicated including non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), multiple myeloma (MM), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Hodgkin lymphoma (HD), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
- Patients with HLA compatible related or unrelated stem cell donor, willing and able to serve as an allogenic HSC donor. Unrelated donors have to be matched at HLA-A, B, C and DRB1 loci. A single locus mismatch will be tolerated in the event a more closely matched donor is not available.
- Patients age >/=40 to </=70 with an ECOG performance status < 2
- Patients between 18 and 40 years of age will be eligible only if they have co-morbidities precluding conventional allogeneic transplantation with full intensity myeloablative conditioning
- Adequate cardiac, pulmonary, renal and hepatic function for transplant
- Negative serology for HIV
- Negative serum pregnancy test
- Patients who have received therapeutic radiation to a localized field will be eligible, provided critical structure tolerance doses have not been exceeded
- Patients who have had prior myeloablative autologous transplant will be eligible
Exclusion Criteria:
- Evidence of uncontrolled viral, fungal, bacterial infection
- Evidence of active meningeal or CNS disease
- Prior therapy with rabbit ATG, prior treatment with equine ATG is allowed if more than 3 months ago
- Breast feeding mothers are excluded

Experimental
Experimental
ATG 1.7 mg/kg, TBI, transplant
ATG 2.5 mg/kg/d, TBI, transplant
(Rabbit-ATG;Thymoglobulin,Genzyme) ATG 5.1 mg/kg in three divided doses (1.7 mg/kg/d) given over three days (day -9 to -7) followed by 450 cGy TBI and tacrolimus plus MMF GVHD prophylaxis. Patients receive lower dose anti-thymocyte globulin IV on days -9 to -7. Patients undergo total-body radiation (TBI) twice daily (BID) on day -1 and once daily (QD) on day 0. Patients then undergo peripheral blood stem cells or bone marrow transplant on day 0. GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS: patients receive tacrolimus orally (PO) on days -2 to 90-120 with taper for 2 months, and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) PO BID on days 0-30.
(Rabbit-ATG;Thymoglobulin,Genzyme) ATG 7.5 mg/kg in three divided doses (2.5 mg/kg/d) given over three days (day -9 to -7) followed by 450 cGy TBI and tacrolimus plus MMF GVHD prophylaxis. Patients receive higher dose anti-thymocyte globulin intravenously (IV) on days -9 to -7. Patients undergo total-body radiation (TBI) twice daily (BID) on day -1 and once daily (QD) on day 0. Patients then undergo peripheral blood stem cells or bone marrow transplant on day 0. GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS: patients receive tacrolimus orally (PO) on days -2 to 90-120 with taper for 2 months, and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) PO BID on days 0-30.
