NCT01629511

Brief Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of gemcitabine and how well it works with clofarabine and busulfan and donor stem cell transplant in treating participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, clofarabine, and busulfan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells.

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive gemcitabine IV over 10-25 minutes on days -6 and -4, clofarabine IV over 1 hour and busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -6 to -3. Participants with matched unrelated donors also receive anti-thymocyte globulin IV over 4 hours on days -3 to -1. Starting day -2, participants receive tacrolimus PO daily for up to 6 months. Participants undergo hematopoietic allogeneic stem cell transplant on day 0, then receive methotrexate IV over 15 minutes on days 1, 3, 6 and 11, and filgrastim SC QD beginning 1 week after transplant until blood cell levels return to normal.
