ClinConnect Summary

One of the most effective ways of preventing lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for leukemia is to remove T-lymphocytes from the transplanted marrow. The reduced early mortality from T cell depletion is however offset by an increased risk of leukemic relapse and infection. We have shown that bone marrow transplants for leukemia depleted of T cells by elutriation and followed by delayed add-back of donor T cells reduces GVHD while preserving an immune response to the hematologic malignancy (the so-called graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) or g...

Eligibility criteria

  • * INCLUSION CRITERIA-PATIENT:
  • Ages 10 to 55 years.
  • Chronic myelogenous leukemia, any of these categories: chronic phase, accelerated phase of blast transformation.
  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, any of these categories: Adults (greater than 18 years) in first remission with high risk features (presenting leukocyte count greater than 100,000 per cu mm, Karyotypes t9;22, t4, t19, t11, biphenotypic leukemia). All second remissions, primary induction failure, partially responding or untreated relapse.
  • Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML): AML in first remission Except AML with good risk karyotypes: AML M3 (t15;17), AML M4Eo (inv 16), AML t(8;21). All AML in second or subsequent remission, primary induction failure and resistant relapse.
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes, any of these categories: refractory anemia with excess of blasts, transformation to acute leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
  • Multiple myeloma following initial disease control with chemotherapy.
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and prolymphocytic leukemia, in remission or partial remission following fludarabine treatment. Richter transformation of CLL.
  • No major organ dysfunction precluding transplantation.
  • DLCO greater than 65 percent predicted.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction: greater than 40 percent predicted.
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Informed consent given. Informed consent from both parents for minors.
  • Women of childbearing age with a negative pregnancy test may participate.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Pregnant.
  • Age greater than 55 or less than 10.
  • ECOG performance status of 2 or more.
  • Severe psychiatric illness. Mental deficiency sufficiently severe as to make compliance with the BMT treatment unlikely, and making informed consent impossible.
  • Major anticipated illness or organ failure incompatible with survival from BMT.
  • DLCO less than 65% predicted.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction: less than 40% predicted.
  • Serum creatinine greater than 3 mg/dl.
  • Serum bilirubin greater than 4 mg/dl.
  • Transaminases greater than 3 x upper limit of normal.
  • HIV positive.
  • History of other malignancies except basal cell or squamous carcinoma of the skin, positive PAP smear and subsequent negative follow up (patient).
  • INCLUSION CRITERIA-DONOR:
  • HLA 6/6 or 5/6 matched sibling donor.
  • Fit to receive G-CSF and give peripheral blood stem cells (normal blood count, normotensive, no history of stroke).
  • Informed consent given.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA - DONOR:
  • Pregnant.
  • Severe psychiatric illness. Mental deficiency sufficiently severe as to make compliance with the BMT treatment unlikely, and making informed consent impossible.
  • Donor unfit to receive G-CSF and undergo apheresis. (Uncontrolled hypertension, history of stroke, thrombocytopenia).
  • HIV positive.
