Brief Title: Nonmyeloablative Stem Cell Transplantation With CD8-depleted or Unmanipulated Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (PBSC)
Official Title: Nonmyeloablative Stem Cell Transplantation With CD8-depleted or Unmanipulated Peripheral Blood Stem Cells: A Prospective Randomized Phase II Trial
Study ID: NCT00693927
Brief Summary: Prospective randomized study of allogeneic minitransplantation from HLA-identical family or unrelated donors comparing unmanipulated or CD8-depleted PBSC. The conditioning regimen will be 2 Gy TBI alone (related donor with low-risk of transplant rejection) or 2 Gy TBI and 3 x 30 mg/m2 fludarabine (unrelated donor or high risk of transplant rejection). Patients will receive a short but intensive immunosuppressive treatment (cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil) to ensure both graft-versus-host and host-versus-graft tolerance. The rationale for using PBSC instead of marrow transplant is to avoid general anesthesia of the donor and to minimize the risk of rejection. The rationale for CD8+ depletion is to diminish the risk of GVHD after PBSC transplantation or DLI.
