Brief Title: Pentostatin and Alemtuzumab as a Preparative Regimen for Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
Official Title: Phase II Related or Unrelated Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for High-Risk Malignancies, Using a Preparative Regimen of Pentostatin (Nipent®) and Alemtuzumab (Campath®)
Study ID: NCT00698685
Brief Summary: This study tests the hypothesis that a purely immunosuppressive preparative regimen allows engraftment of related or unrelated allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells in subjects with high-risk malignancies, without causing the post-transplant myelosuppression (e.g., neutropenia, thrombocytopenia) that occurs with currently used reduced-intensity (nonmyeloablative) preparative regimens. This study incorporates both safety and efficacy endpoints and evaluates a novel preparative regimen of alemtuzumab plus continuous-infusion pentostatin, two immunosuppressive agents with different mechanisms of action, in recipients of related or unrelated allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Detailed Description: Primary Objectives of the study: * To determine the efficacy of a preparative regimen of pentostatin and alemtuzumab plus related or unrelated allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) in inducing durable donor lymphohematopoietic cell chimerism (defined as at least 50% donor cells in the peripheral blood) by 100 days after PBSCT (day +100) in subjects with high-risk malignancies who are at high risk for morbidity and mortality with conventional intensive pre-transplant conditioning regimens. * To determine the safety of a preparative regimen of pentostatin and alemtuzumab plus related or unrelated allogeneic PBSCT, as measured by the non-relapse mortality at day +100 in the study subject population.
