A Pilot Study of Combined Chemotherapy and Donor Lymphocyte Infusion for Hematologic Malignancies in Relapse After Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the minimum amount of chemotherapy in combination with donor
lymphocyte infusion required to obtain a rate of 30-60% graft versus host disease in
patients with hematologic malignancies relapsed after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
OUTLINE: This is a dose de-escalation study. Patients receive etoposide IV continuously on
days 1-3; cyclophosphamide IV on day 8; donor lymphocyte infusion IV on day 10; and
filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously or IV beginning on day 10 and continuing until blood
counts recover. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive six de-escalating levels of chemotherapy
until the minimum amount of chemotherapy in combination with donor lymphocyte infusion
required to obtain a rate of 30-60% graft versus host disease (GVHD) is determined. The
target dose level is defined as the level at which 2 of 6 patients develop GVHD, and the
next lower dose level has no more than 1 patient experiencing GVHD. Patients are followed
every 3 months for the first year, every 6 months for the second year, and yearly
thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-21 patients will be accrued over 2 years.
