NCT00073879

Objectives

  1. Determine the safety and feasibility of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and alemtuzumab in patients with recurrent or metastatic renal cell carcinoma undergoing HLA-matched allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Entry Criteria

  • Clinically evident and followable disease


  • Availability of 1 of the following compatible donors:
    • Related HLA-identical or 1-Ag mismatched donor
    • Unrelated HLA-A, B, DRB1-matched donor

Surgery

  • Not specified

Patient Characteristics:

Age

  • Any age

Performance status

  • Karnofsky 70-100%

Life expectancy

  • No concurrent illness that severely limits life expectancy

Hematopoietic

  • Not specified

Hepatic

  • No episode of hepatitis within the past month
  • No evidence of chronic active hepatitis or cirrhosis

Renal

  • Creatinine no greater than 2 mg/dL

Cardiovascular

  • LVEF at least 40%
  • No uncontrolled arrhythmias
  • No symptomatic cardiac disease

Pulmonary

  • FEV1, FVC, and DLCO at least 50% of predicted (unless due to metastatic disease)

Other

  • Not pregnant
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 3 months after study participation
  • No active infection
  • HIV negative

Expected Enrollment

A total of 20 patients (10 with HLA-identical related donors and 10 with matched unrelated donors) will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a pilot, multicenter study.

  • Conditioning: Patients receive fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -6 to -2, cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -6 and -5, and alemtuzumab IV on days -4 to -2.


  • Allogeneic transplantation: Allogeneic stem cells are infused on day 0.


Patients receive graft-vs-host disease prophylaxis with tacrolimus IV or orally for approximately 30 days.

Patients are followed weekly for 100 days and then at 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months after transplantation.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
