A Multi-Center Study of Nonmyeloablative Conditioning With TBI or Fludarabine/TBI for HLA-matched Related Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Treatment of Hematologic Malignancies With Post Grafting Immunosuppression With Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate Mofetil
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient must be not eligible for conventional allogeneic hematopoietic cell
transplantation (HCT) and must have disease expected to be stable for at least 100
days without chemotherapy; patients with hematologic malignancies treatable with HCT
or with a B cell malignancy except those curable with autologous transplant will be
included; patients not eligible for active disease specific protocols, may be
enrolled in this protocol
- Diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and other aggressive Lymphomas not
eligible for conventional myeloablative HCT or after autologous HCT
- Low grade NHL- with < 6 months duration of complete response (CR) between courses of
conventional therapy
- Mantle cell NHL- may be treated in first CR
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)- must have either
- 1) failed to meet NCI Working Group criteria for complete or partial response
after therapy with a regimen containing FLU (or another nucleoside analog, e.g.
2-CDA, pentostatin) or experience disease relapse within 12 months after
completing therapy with a regimen containing FLU (or another nucleoside analog);
- 2) failed FLU-CY-Rituximab (FCR) combination chemotherapy at any time point; or
- 3) have "17p deletion" cytogenetic abnormality; patients should have received
induction chemotherapy but could be transplanted in 1st CR
- 4) patients with a diagnosis of CLL (or small lymphocytic lymphoma) or a
diagnosis of CLL that progresses to prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), to T-cell CLL
or PLL
- Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL)- must have received and failed frontline therapy; patients must
have failed or were not eligible for autologous transplant
- Multiple myeloma (MM)- following a planned autologous transplant or equivalent
high-dose therapy without a graft, or following a failed prior autograft
- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)- must have < 5% marrow blasts at the time of transplant
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)- must have < 5% marrow blasts at the time of
transplant
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)- patients will be accepted beyond CP1 if they have
received previous myelosuppressive chemotherapy or HCT, and have < 5% marrow blasts
at time of transplant
- Myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative disorders (MDS/MPD)- must have received
previous myelosuppressive chemotherapy or HCT and have < 5% marrow blasts at time of
transplant
- Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia- must have failed 2 courses of therapy
- Myelosuppressive chemotherapy must be discontinued three weeks prior to conditioning
with the exception of hydroxyurea or imatinib
- Patients < 12 years old must be approved by both the participating institutions'
patient review committee such as the Patient Care Conference (PCC) at the FHCRC and
the FHCRC principal investigator
- Patient who refused to be treated on a conventional HCT protocol; for this inclusion
criterion, transplants must be approved by both the participating institution's
patient review committee such as the Patient Care Conference (PCC) at the FHCRC and
the FHCRC principal investigators
- Patients with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donors
- Patients with renal failure are eligible; however, patients with renal compromise
(serum creatinine > 2.0) will likely have further compromise in renal function and
may require hemodialysis (which may be permanent) due to the need to maintain
adequate serum tacrolimus levels
- DONOR: Related donor who is HLA genotypically identical at least at one haplotype and
may be phenotypically or genotypically identical at the allele level at HLA-A, -B,
-C, -DRB1, and -DQB1
- DONOR: Donor must consent to G-CSF administration and leukapheresis
- DONOR: Donor must have adequate veins for leukapheresis or agree to placement of
central venous catheter (femoral, subclavian)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Eligible for a high priority curative autologous transplant
- Patient with rapidly progressive, aggressive NHL unless in minimal disease state
- Patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)
- Life expectancy severely limited by diseases other than malignancy
- Any current central nervous system (CNS) involvement with disease refractory to
intrathecal chemotherapy
- Presence of circulating leukemic blasts (in the peripheral blood) detected by
standard pathology for patients with AML, ALL or CML
- Fertile men or women unwilling to use contraceptives during and for up to 12 months
post treatment
- Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients
- Patients with active non-hematologic malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancers);
this exclusion does not apply to patients with non-hematologic malignancies that do
not require therapy
- Patients with a history of non-hematologic malignancies (except non-melanoma skin
cancers) currently in a complete remission, who are less than 5 years from the time
of complete remission, and have a > 20% risk of disease recurrence; this exclusion
does not apply to patients with non-hematologic malignancies that do not require
therapy
- Fungal pneumonia with radiological progression after receipt of amphotericin
formulation or mold-active azoles for greater than 1 month
- Karnofsky score < 50 for adult patients
- Lansky-Play Performance Score < 50 for pediatric patients
- Symptomatic coronary artery disease or ejection fraction < 35% or other cardiac
failure requiring therapy (or, if unable to obtain ejection fraction, shortening
fraction of < 26%); ejection fraction is required if age > 50 years or there is a
history of anthracycline exposure or history of cardiac disease; patients with a
shortening fraction < 26% may be enrolled if approved by a cardiologist
- Poorly controlled hypertension
- Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) < 30%, total lung capacity
(TLC) < 30%, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) < 30% and/or receiving
supplementary continuous oxygen; the FHCRC PI of the study must approve enrollment of
all patients with pulmonary nodules
- Liver function abnormalities: Patients with clinical or laboratory evidence of liver
disease would be evaluated for the cause of liver disease, its clinical severity in
terms of liver function, and the degree of portal hypertension; patients will be
excluded if they are found to have fulminant liver failure, cirrhosis of the liver
with evidence of portal hypertension or bridging fibrosis, alcoholic hepatitis,
esophageal varices, a history of bleeding esophageal varices, hepatic encephalopathy,
uncorrectable hepatic synthetic dysfunction evinced by prolongation of the
prothrombin time, ascites related to portal hypertension, bacterial or fungal liver
abscess, biliary obstruction, chronic viral hepatitis with total serum bilirubin > 3
mg/dL, and symptomatic biliary disease

- DONOR: Age less than 12 years
- DONOR: Identical twin
- DONOR: Pregnancy
- DONOR: Infection with HIV
- DONOR: Known allergy to filgrastim (G-CSF)
- DONOR: Current serious systemic illness that would result in increased risk for G-CSF
mobilization and harvest of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC)
