Study Overview

• Status: Completed

Detailed Description

Development of cell-based immunotherapy from allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is dependent upon stable T-cell engraftment and the success of this therapeutic approach is likely to be greatest when directed against a minimal rather than gross tumor burden. To this end, tandem transplants with high dose therapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) for tumor cytoreduction followed by non-myeloablative allotransplant have been conducted. In myeloma, this tandem approach results in greater efficacy compared to conventional AHCT.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Autologous-Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant; Study treatment is a high-dose sequential chemotherapy approach to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplant that uses an autologous peripheral blood stem cell (auto-PBSC) transplant followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (allo-PBSC) transplant to evaluate improved graft vs host disease (GvHD) control. Participant auto-PBSC are mobilized with cyclophosphamide (also to provide cytoreduction) and filgrastim, followed by melphalan as an auto-PBSC conditioning agent, then auto-PBSC infusion. For the allo-PBSC transplant, donors are mobilized with filgrastim, and participants receive a regimen of total lymphoid irradiation and anti-thymocyte globulin (TLI/ATG), followed by infusion of donor allo-PBSC. Solumedrol, diphenhydramine, acetaminophen, and hydrocortisone are administered as premedications, and rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) plus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) are administered for post-allo-PBSC immunosuppression.

Procedure: Autologous peripheral blood stem cells (auto-PBSC) transplantation; Auto-PBSC ≥ 2 to 3 x 10e6 CD34+ cells/kg are intravenously (IV) infused as part of the combination stem cell therapy. and allogeneic stem cells are administered intravenous (IV) infusion to reestablish hematopoietic function in patients whose bone marrow or immune system is damaged or defective; Other Names: auto-PBPC; Autologous peripheral blood progenitor cells (auto-PBPC) transplantation; Procedure: Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (allo-PBSC) transplantation; Allo-PBSC (target collection ≥ 5 x 10e6 CD34+ cells/kg) are intravenously (IV) infused as part of the combination stem cell therapy.; Other Names: allo-PBSC; Allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cells (allo-PBPC) transplantation; Drug: Filgrastim; Filgrastim is administered subcutaneously (SC) at 10 µg/kg/day for auto-PBSC mobilization starting day 2 of mobilization until the last day of apheresis. Filgrastim is administered SC at 5 µg/kg/day from Day 6 after auto-PBSC infusion to hematologic recovery. Filgrastim is administered SC at 16 µg/kg/day for donor allo-PBSC mobilization at from Day - 4 to Day 0, prior to allo-PBSC collection.; Other Names: r-metHuG-CSF; Neupogen; Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF); Drug: Cyclophosphamide; Cyclophosphamide is administered intravenously (IV) at 4 g/m2 on Day 1 of the auto-PBSC mobilization regimen.; Other Names: Ciclofosfamida; Ciclofosfamide; Claphene; CSP; CP monohydrate (CPM); Drug: Melphalan; Melphalan is administered after CSP at 200 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) on Day -2 before auto-PBSC infusion.; Other Names: L-Sarcolysin; L-phenylalanine mustard (L-PAM); L-Sarcolysin phenylalanine mustard; L-sarcolysine; Drug: Cyclosporine; Cyclosporine is administered by mouth (PO) for allo-PBSC graft vs host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis at 5 mg/kg from Day -3 through Bay +56.
