Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Fludarabine and Total-Body Irradiation Followed By Donor Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Has Responded to Treatment With Imatinib Mesylate Clinical research trials and Fludarabine and Total-Body Irradiation Followed By Donor Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Has Responded to Treatment With Imatinib Mesylate healthcare trials happen in hundreds of localities throughout the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the potency of new drugs. The propose of the studies / projects is to answer particular human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to detect cures for all sorts of conditions, such as Fludarabine and Total-Body Irradiation Followed By Donor Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Has Responded to Treatment With Imatinib Mesylate. Fludarabine and Total-Body Irradiation Followed By Donor Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Has Responded to Treatment With Imatinib Mesylate Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to acquire healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Fludarabine and Total-Body Irradiation Followed By Donor Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Has Responded to Treatment With Imatinib Mesylate clinical trial. Subjects frequently obtain the most expert healthcare possible for their Fludarabine and Total-Body Irradiation Followed By Donor Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Has Responded to Treatment With Imatinib Mesylate condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and can include more or frequent doctor trips, medical risks (possibly life-threatening), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

For Condition: childhood chronic myelogenous leukemia,recurrent adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia,blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia,recurrent childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia,Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukemia

Synopsis: RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy used to kill cancer cells. Combining imatinib mesylate with fludarabine and total-body irradiation followed by donor peripheral stem cell transplantation may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of fludarabine and total-body irradiation followed by donor peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic myelogenous leukemia that has responded to previous treatment with imatinib mesylate.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine whether the rate of leukemic relapse and transplant-related mortality can be decreased for patients with imatinib mesylate-responsive Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia or blast crisis chronic myelogenous leukemia treated with a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen comprising fludarabine and total body irradiation followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), compared to historical controls treated with high-dose conventional chemotherapy followed by allogeneic PBSCT. - Evaluate whether donor lymphocyte infusions can be safely used in patients with mixed or full donor chimerism as preemptive therapy to eliminate minimal residual disease. - Determine the leukemia-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive imatinib mesylate once daily beginning before study and continuing until day -2 of study. Patients resume imatinib mesylate once daily beginning on day 14 or when blood counts recover after PBSCT. - Transplantation: Patients receive a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen comprising fludarabine IV on days -4 to -2 and total body irradiation followed by filgrastim (G-CSF)-mobilized allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) on day 0. - Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receiving related PBSC receive oral mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) twice daily on days 0-27 without tapering. Patients receiving unrelated PBSC receive MMF three times daily on days 0-40 and then tapered on days 41-96 in the absence of GVHD or disease progression. Adults receiving related PBSC receive cyclosporine (CYSP) orally twice daily on days -3 to 56 and then tapered on days 57-100. Children receiving related donor PBSC receive CYSP IV every 8 or 12 hours on days -3 to 56 and then tapered on days 57-100. Adults receiving unrelated donor PBSC receive oral CYSP twice daily on days -3 to 100 and then tapered on days 101-177. Children receiving unrelated donor PBSC receive CYSP IV every 8 or 12 hours on days -3 to 100 and then tapered on days 101-177. - CNS prophylaxis: Patients receive six doses of intrathecal methotrexate or cytarabine beginning on day 32 after PBSCT or when there is no evidence of gross systemic leukemia. Patients who have a history of CNS leukemia at any time and have not received prior cranio-spinal irradiation (CSI) before study entry receive CSI for 11 days after PBSCT when there is no evidence of gross systemic leukemia. Patients with persistent disease and no GVHD after stopping GVHD prophylaxis receive donor lymphocyte infusion once every 28 days for 3 doses. Patients are followed at 6 months and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
