Brief Summary

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a risky procedure. If doctors could reduce the complications, BMT would be safer to use for a wider range of conditions. The purposes of this study are

  • to prevent graft rejection by increasing the amount of immunosuppression and by giving some lymphocytes from the donor before transplant;
  • to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by transplanting T-cell depleted stem cells;
  • to improve the immune effect against residual leukemia by the add-back of donor lymphocytes before transplant and six or more weeks after transplant. Beyond the standard transplant protocol, study participants will undergo additional procedures. First, along with total body irradiation, patients will receive two drugs (a high dose of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine) to suppress immunity and prevent rejection of the transplant. Second, four days before the transplant, patients will be given donor lymphocytes that have been irradiated to make them incapable of causing GVHD. On the day of the transplant, patients will receive an infusion of T-cell depleted bone marrow stem cells. Finally, patients will receive two doses of add-back donor T-cells (45 and 100 days post transplant) and the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine starting on day 44 until about six months after transplant. Study participants must be between the ages of 10 and 56 and have a family member who is a suitable stem cell donor match.

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Recipient
  • Ages 10-55 years inclusive (but less than 56)
  • Chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase
  • A) Patients not treated with STI 571 under the age of 41 (subject to regular DSMB review).
  • B) 10-55 age limits patients in chronic phase who have failed treatment with STI-571.
  • C) 10-55 age limits patients in accelerated phase or blast transformation.
  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, any of these categories: Adults (greater than 18 years) in first remission with high-risk features (presenting leukocyte count greater than 100,000/cu mm, Karyotypes t9; 22, t4, t19, t11, biphenotypic leukemia) All second or subsequent remissions, primary induction failure, partially responding or untreated relapse.
  • Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML): AML in first remission Except AML with good risk karyotypes: AML M3 (t15; 17), AML M4Eo (inv 16), AML t (8; 21). All AML in second or subsequent remission, primary induction failure and resistant relapse.
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes, any of these categories: refractory anemia with transfusion dependence, refractory anemia with excess of blasts, transformation to acute leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
  • Myeloproliferative disorders (myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia) in transformation to acute leukemia
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia refractory to fludarabine treatment and with bulky progressive disease or with thrombocytopenia (less than or equal to 100,000/ml) or anemia (less than or equal to 10g/dl) not due to recent chemotherapy.
  • Non-Hodgkin s lymphoma including Mantle cell lymphoma relapsing or refractory to current chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody treatment and unsuitable for autologous stem cell transplantation.
  • No major organ dysfunction precluding transplantation.
  • DLCO greater than or equal to 60% predicted.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction: greater than or equal to 40% predicted.
  • +8 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient pregnant
  • Age less than 10 years and 56 years or more
  • Patients with CML in chronic phase who are 41 years or over in whom STI 571 is the treatment of choice
  • ECOG performance status of 2 or more
  • Severe psychiatric illness. Mental deficiency sufficiently severe as to make compliance with the BMT treatment unlikely, and making informed consent impossible.
  • Major anticipated illness or organ failure incompatible with survival from BMT
  • DLCO less than 60% predicted.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction: less than 40% predicted
  • Serum creatinine greater than 3mg/dl
  • Serum bilirubin greater than 4 mg/dl
  • Transaminases greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal
  • HIV positive
  • History of other malignancies except basal cell or squamous carcinoma of the skin, positive PAP smear and subsequent negative follow up, individuals with diseases listed in eligibility criteria for this protocol, but where debility or age makes the risk of intensive myeloablative therapy unacceptable. This includes patients who have received busulfan treatment for more than 6 months continuously. These patients will be considered for a non-myeloablative allogeneic transplantation protocols.
  • Donor (any of the following)
  • Pregnant or lactating
