NCT02105116

Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies if cells donated by a close genetic relative can help maintain acute myeloid leukemia (AML) complete remission (CR). Eligible patients will receive a standard induction chemotherapy. If a complete remission results they will receive irradiated allogeneic cells from a HLA haploidentical relative. Only patients who obtain a CR after the standard induction chemotherapy are eligible for the experimental therapy (irradiated haploidentical cells).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Adverse Events Related to Experimental Therapy

    Patients will be observed for incidence of adverse events related to experimental therapy, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Of the 6 patients enrolled, all were ineligible to enter the experimental treatment phase of the study because of failure to reach complete remission. None of the enrolled patients received experimental therapy (allogeneic donor lymphocyte therapy). The one death occurred while receiving standard therapy prior to eligibility for experimental allogeneic therapy. The remained of patients were ineligible for experimental therapy because they did not obtain a complete remission after standard induction chemotherapy.

    Up to 2 years

  • Response Rate, Determined by Allogeneic Cell Therapy-related Mortality

    Patients' response rate will be determined by allogeneic cell therapy-related mortality. Of the 6 patients enrolled, all were ineligible to enter the experimental treatment phase of the study for failure to reach complete remission. Hence no outcomes are available.

    Up to 2 years

  • Response Rate, Determined by Duration of Complete Remission

    Patients will be scored as being in continuous remission at 2 years or having relapsed sooner. Of the 6 patients enrolled, all were ineligible to enter the treatment phase of the study for failure to reach complete remission for allogenic treatment.

    Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression Free Survival Probability for CR

    At 2 years

Study Arms (1)

Standard chemotherapy followed by allogenic therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive standard induction chemotherapy with fludarabine phosphate IV over 1 hour QD for 5 days and cytarabine IV over 4 hours for 5 days. G-CSF 5 mcg/kg will be started at day14 if day14 bone marrow does not have \>5% leukemic blasts. Treatment may continue for 1 or 2 courses at the discretion of the treating physician. If the patient enters a complete remission they are eligible for ALLOGENEIC CELLULAR THERAPY: Patients eligible for the experimental therapy undergo irradiated Donor Lymphocyte Infusion (DLI) of 3 x 10\^8 CD3+ cells/kg at 8 weeks. Patients with stable disease may repeat irradiated DLI every 8-12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically proven non-M3 AML:
  • Refractory/relapsed AML OR
  • Initial diagnosis of AML in patient \>= 60 years old
  • Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) institutional limits (unless Gilbert's disease)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 2.5 X institutional ULN
  • Cardiac left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \>= 35%
  • Serum creatinine =\< 1.5 mg/dl
  • Any organ dysfunction thought to be secondary to disease will be considered separately and the patient will be included at the investigators discretion
  • Patients must give informed consent
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =\< 3
  • Must have a potential haploidentical donor (parent, sibling, child)
  • Patient must have documented CR or CRp after 1 or 2 cycles of fludarabine + cytarabine
  • Patient must not be a candidate for an allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)
  • Patient must have a partially (\>= 3/6 class I antigen) human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched (by serology or low resolution deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\] testing) relative able to serve as a donor
  • Patients must not have active uncontrolled infections, other medical or psychological/social conditions that might increase the likelihood of patient adverse effects or poor outcomes
  • +14 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • History of current or prior medical problems that the investigator feels will prevent administration of therapy or assessment of response due to excess toxicity
  • Patients with known active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia will be excluded from this clinical study
  • Known HIV-positive patients are excluded from the study
  • Patients may not be pregnant or breast feeding
