Alternate Title

Peripheral Stem Cell Transplant Plus Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With High-Risk Hematologic Cancer, Refractory Breast or Kidney Cancer, or Melanoma

Basic Trial Information

Objectives

1. Determine the efficacy, in terms of mortality, occurrence of acute graft versus-host-disease, and grade 3/4 toxicity, of in vivo and in vitro alemtuzumab (monoclonal antibody CD52; Campath-1H) administered concurrently with nonmyeloablative fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, followed by HLA identical matched sibling allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with hematologic malignancies or refractory breast or renal cell cancer or melanoma.
2. Determine the engraftment rate, response rate, and long term survival of patients receiving this regimen.
3. Determine the recovery of immune function post engraftment in patients treated with this regimen.
4. Determine the pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide administered in this regimen.
5. Assess graft-versus-tumor effects in patients treated with this regimen.

Outcomes

Clinical disease-free survival (DFS)

Molecular complete response (CR) in patients with clinical CR/unconfirmed CR
Molecular DFS
Immunologic response against autologous tumor
Overall survival

Outline

Patients receive alemtuzumab (monoclonal antibody CD52; Campath-1H) IV over 3 hours on days -6 to -2 and fludarabine IV over 30 minutes and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -5 to -2. Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells and alemtuzumab are infused on days 0 and 1. Filgrastim (G-CSF) is administered subcutaneously beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover.

Patients are followed daily until day 60, twice a week until day 100, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
