Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant With Added Sugar and Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma

Study Description

Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well an umbilical cord blood transplant with added sugar works with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with leukemia or lymphoma. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The umbilical cord blood cells will be grown ("expanded") on a special layer of cells collected from the bone marrow of healthy volunteers in a laboratory. A type of sugar will also be added to the cells in the laboratory that may help the transplant to "take" faster.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety and feasibility of transplantation of cord blood which is expanded in mesenchymal precursor cell (MPC) co-cultures then fucosylated with fucosyltransferase (FT)-VI and guanosine diphosphate (GDP) fucose prior to infusion in patients with hematologic malignancies following high-dose therapy. II. To evaluate the time to engraftment using expanded fucosylated cord blood. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the rate and severity of graft versus host disease. II. To evaluate the rates of infectious complications. III. To evaluate the rates of disease-free and overall survival. Summary: All patients receive Busulfan as per standard of care. Busulfan test dose can be administered either as an outpatient prior to admission or as an inpatient on Day -10. Busulfan pharmacokinetics will be performed with the test dose and the first dose on Day -7 per standard of care. The doses of Days -6, -5, and -4 will be subsequently adjusted to target an AUC of 4,000 microMol.min-1. In the event that PK adjusting were not possible a dose of busulfan of 130 mg/m2 will be administered. GVHD PROPHYLAXIS: All patients receive mycofenolate mofetil IV over 2 hours or orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days -3 with a taper beginning on day 100 in the absence of GVHD, tacrolimus IV or PO starting on day -2 for 6 months in the absence of GVHD, and filgrastim-sndz subcutaneously (SC) once daily (QD) starting on day 0 until white blood count begins to recover. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at months 1, 3, 6, and 12.
