Reduced Intensity Conditioning Before Partially Matched Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Advanced Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma

May 1, 2025 updated by: Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University

A Two-Step Approach to Reduced Intensity Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Advanced Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of donor lymphocyte infusion when given together with reduced intensity conditioning regimen before partially matched donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with stage IIB-IV mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome. Giving chemotherapy and low-dose total-body irradiation followed by high-dose cyclophosphamide before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Removing the T-cells from the donor cells and giving them before transplant may stop this from happening. Additionally, giving tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may also stop this from happening.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTVES:

I. To evaluate regimen related toxicity, engraftment and graft versus host disease (GVHD) in the first 100 days with new reduced intensity haploidentical regimen protocol, including fludarabine (fludarabine phosphate), low dose total body irradiation, and cyclophosphamide.

II. To determine an effective donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) dose that provides successful engraftment without causing GVHD.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess myeloid and lymphoid engraftment rates of patients undergoing treatment on this regimen.

II. To determine the incidence and severity of GVHD in patients undergoing treatment on this regimen using a combination of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as GVHD prophylaxis.

III. To examine progression free survival and overall survival in patients with cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) undergoing treatment on this regimen.

IV. To assess the pace of lymphoid recovery in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of DLI.

REDUCED INTENSITY CONDITIONING: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days -11 to -8 and undergo total body irradiation twice daily (BID) on day -7. Patients also receive donor cluster of differentiation (CD)3+ enriched T lymphocyte infusion on day -6 and high-dose cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -3 to -2.

TRANSPLANT: Patients undergo allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) on day 0.

GVHD PROPHYLAXIS: Beginning on day -1, patients receive tacrolimus IV with taper (drug wean) by day 60 and mycophenolate mofetil IV BID on days -1 to 28 in the absence of GVHD.

After completion of treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria
