Active, not recruiting

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver radioactive cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by radiation therapy used to kill cancer cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells can make an immune response against the body's normal tissues. Treatment with cyclosporine may prevent this from happening. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of radiolabeled monoclonal antibody therapy combined with total-body irradiation, allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation, and immunosuppression therapy in treating older patients who have advanced acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

Official title: 

A Phase I Study Combining Escalating Doses of Radiolabeled BC8 (Anti-CD45) Antibody With Fludarabine, Low Dose TBI, PBSC Infusion And Post-Transplant Immunosuppression With Cyclosporine And Mycophenolate Mofetil to Establish Mixed or Full Donor Chimerism

Detailed description: 

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of radiation delivered via iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody BC8 when combined with nonmyeloablative low-dose total body irradiation and cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil in elderly patients with advanced acute myeloid leukemia, high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia who undergo allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
  • Determine the rates of donor chimerism in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Correlate level of donor chimerism with estimated radiation doses delivered to hematopoietic tissues via the monoclonal antibody in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine disease response and duration of remission in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody BC8.

  • Radioimmunotherapy: Patients receive a test dose of iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody BC8 (^131I MOAB BC8) IV followed 6-14 days later by a therapeutic dose of ^131I MOAB BC8 IV on day -12. Cohorts of up to 6 patients receive escalating doses of radiation via ^131I MOAB BC8 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 patients experience graft failure.
  • Total body irradiation (TBI) and allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSC): Patients receive low-dose TBI over 30-40 minutes followed by allogeneic PBSC transplantation on day 0. Patients with unrelated donors also receive fludarabine IV on days -4 to -2.
  • Immunosuppression therapy: All patients receive immunosuppression therapy with oral cyclosporine twice daily on days -3 to 56 with a taper through day 80 (for patients with a sibling donor), or days -3 to 100 with a taper through day 177 (for patients with an unrelated donor). Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil orally or IV twice daily on days 0-27 with no taper (for patients with a sibling donor) or days 0-40 with a taper through day 96 (for patients with an unrelated donor).
  • Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI): After completion of immunosuppression therapy, patients with stable mixed or full chimerism with no graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) receive DLI over 30 minutes. Treatment repeats every 28-65 days for up to 3 infusions in both patients with a sibling donor and those with an unrelated donor. Patients are followed weekly for 3 months, at 6, 9, and 12 months, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter.
