Pentostatin and Donor Lymphocyte Infusion for Low Donor T-Cell Chimerism After Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation - A Multi-Center Trial
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the safety and efficacy of the combined use of pentostatin and donor lymphocyte
infusion (DLI) in patients with low or falling donor T-cell chimerism to prevent graft
rejection after transplantation both from matched related donors (MRDs) or unrelated donors
(URDs).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) infections, and disease
response (if persistent disease is present).
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of donor lymphocyte infusion. Patients are assigned
to 1 of 2 treatment groups.
GROUP I: Patients receive pentostatin intravenously (IV) over 20-30 minutes on day -2 and
DLI over 15-30 minutes on day 0. Treatment may repeat once beginning with an escalated or
same cluster of differentiation (CD)3-dose at least 4 weeks if persistent donor T-cells are
documented, no GvHD has developed, and the chimerism status worsens or, if chimerism status
is unchanged after at least 8 weeks with two subsequent tests of chimerism 4 weeks apart.
GROUP II (initiated if patients in group I do not achieve sustained engraftment and improved
chimerism): Patients receive treatment as in group I. Patients also receive cyclosporine
orally (PO) twice daily on days -3 to 56 and mycophenolate mofetil PO once daily on days 0
to 27. Treatment continues in the absence of GvHD.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years and
then annually thereafter.
Interventional
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Reported following the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) Guidelines for serious adverse event (SAE) reporting.
