Summary

This phase II trial studies how well cyclophosphamide works in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant in patients with hematological malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before transplantation helps stop the growth of cancer cells and prevents the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Healthy stem cells from a donor that are infused into the patient help the patient's bone marrow make blood cells; red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes, however, the transplanted donor cells can cause an immune response against the body's normal cells, which is called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Giving cyclophosphamide after transplant may prevent this from happening or may make chronic GVHD less severe.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in morphologic first complete remission (CR1) with high risk features defined as, but not limited to: evidence of adverse cytogenetics such as t(9;22), t(1;19), t(4;11), or mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) rearrangements; presence of minimal residual disease; progenitor B-cell immunophenotype; high white blood cells (WBC) at diagnosis (> 30,000/ul in B-ALL; > 100,000/ul in T-ALL); or delayed attainment of CR (> 4 weeks) after induction therapy; additional clinical characteristics deemed to confer a high relapse risk may be discussed with and approved by the Principal Investigator (PI)
  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in CR1 EXCEPT patients with low-risk features defined as:
  • Inv 16 or t(8;21) in the absence of c-kit mutations
  • Normal karyotype who are FLT3-ITD-negative and NPM1-positive in the absence of c-kit mutations
  • Patients with respective "low-risk" features are eligible, however, if (i) more than 1 cycle of induction therapy was required to achieve CR1 (ii) the patient had a preceding myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) other than myelofibrosis, or (iii) secondary AML
  • Acute leukemia in 2nd or greater CR (CR >= 2)
  • Refractory or relapsed AML with = 2 (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG]) or 60 mL/min, this measurement is acceptable
  • Total serum bilirubin more than twice upper normal limit
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) more than 3-fold higher than laboratory upper normal limits
  • Female patient must have negative serum pregnancy test (all women of child bearing-potential must have test performed)
  • DONORS: Potential donors who for psychological, physiological, or medical reasons cannot tolerate administration of G-CSF or apheresis
  • DONORS: Donors who are allergic to filgrastim or Escherichia (E.) coli-derived proteins
  • DONORS: Donor-related risks to recipients
  • DONORS: Positive anti-donor lymphocytotoxic crossmatch
  • DONORS: Donors who are positive for HIV
