Collecting Stem Cells in Patients With Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia

December 17, 2013 updated by: Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center

Autologous Stem Cell Harvesting for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing stem cells to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about collecting stem cells from patients who have undergone treatment for Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is collecting stem cells from patients with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Harvest and store adequate CD34+ stem cells from patients with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) for potential future use in transplantation strategies.
  • Evaluate the ability to harvest stem cells after therapy for WM (e.g., fludarabine-based chemotherapy) by evaluating the number of days to adequate harvest.
  • Collect aliquots of stem cells for future research analysis as part of a WM database project.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo collection of autologous stem cells beginning on day 4 or 5 and continuing until an adequate number of stem cells are collected. Cells are then cryopreserved.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study.
