Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in Treating Patients With Persistent, Relapsed, or Progressing Cancer After Allogeneic Transplantation Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or treatment using a real physician. We are not docs. Always confer with your mD on Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in Treating Patients With Persistent, Relapsed, or Progressing Cancer After Allogeneic Transplantation conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in Treating Patients With Persistent, Relapsed, or Progressing Cancer After Allogeneic Transplantation Clinical research trials and Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in Treating Patients With Persistent, Relapsed, or Progressing Cancer After Allogeneic Transplantation medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually measure the effectiveness of new drugs. The intention of the studies / projects is to resolve certain human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for physicians, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect remedies for all forms of circumstances, like Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in Treating Patients With Persistent, Relapsed, or Progressing Cancer After Allogeneic Transplantation. Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in Treating Patients With Persistent, Relapsed, or Progressing Cancer After Allogeneic Transplantation Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to undergo healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Most times the participants receive treatment for free, and every now and again they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in Treating Patients With Persistent, Relapsed, or Progressing Cancer After Allogeneic Transplantation clinical trial. Subjects typically recieve the finest healthcare available for their Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in Treating Patients With Persistent, Relapsed, or Progressing Cancer After Allogeneic Transplantation condition. Hazards are a reality, nonetheless, and might include more or frequent mD trips, health risks (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in Treating Patients With Persistent, Relapsed, or Progressing Cancer After Allogeneic Transplantation
For Condition: Graft Versus Host Disease,Cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: White blood cells from donors may be able to kill cancer cells and prevent disease progression or relapse in patients who have undergone allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or allogeneic stem cell transplantation. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of donor lymphocyteinfusion in treating patients who have persistent, relapsed, or progressing cancer after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or stem cell transplantation.
Details: OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine the safety of donor lymphocyte infusion, in terms of the incidence of life-threatening graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), in patients with persistent, relapsed, or progressing malignancy after nonmyeloablative allogeneic transplantation. Secondary - Determine disease response and progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine chimerism in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the grade of GVHD and infections in patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study. Patients receive unirradiated (viable) donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) over 15-30 minutes on day 0. Patients may receive a second infusion after 4 weeks if no graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) develops and disease worsens, or after 8 weeks if disease status is unchanged and persistent donor T cells are documented. To determine the safety of this regimen, all patients receive a standard initial dose of DLI and then, among patients requiring a second treatment, cohorts of 5-25 patients receive decreasing doses of DLI. Acceptable safety is determined by the regimen during which no more than 15% of patients experience morbid GVHD. Patients are followed every 2 months for 6 months, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 5-100 patients will be accrued for this study.
Eligibility:
