Total-Body Irradiation Plus Stem Cell Transplantation And White Blood Cell Infusion in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trials Resources presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or professional assistance with a real medical. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD about Total-Body Irradiation Plus Stem Cell Transplantation And White Blood Cell Infusion in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Total-Body Irradiation Plus Stem Cell Transplantation And White Blood Cell Infusion in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical research trials and Total-Body Irradiation Plus Stem Cell Transplantation And White Blood Cell Infusion in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia health trials occur in a lot of of places 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 typically assess the effectivity of new does drugs. The role of the studies / projects is to resolve certain human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect remedies for all varieties of circumstances, such as Total-Body Irradiation Plus Stem Cell Transplantation And White Blood Cell Infusion in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Total-Body Irradiation Plus Stem Cell Transplantation And White Blood Cell Infusion in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain health treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Most times the human subjects recieve professional assistance for free of charge, and every now and again they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Total-Body Irradiation Plus Stem Cell Transplantation And White Blood Cell Infusion in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia clinical trial. Human subjects frequently get the finest healthcare available for their Total-Body Irradiation Plus Stem Cell Transplantation And White Blood Cell Infusion in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia condition. Risks are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, medical dangers (possibly life-threatening), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Total-Body Irradiation Plus Stem Cell Transplantation And White Blood Cell Infusion in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia



Total-Body Irradiation Plus Stem Cell Transplantation And White Blood Cell Infusion in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

For Condition: adult acute erythroleukemia (M6),adult acute megakaryocytic leukemia (M7),adult acute differentiated monocytic leukemia (M5b),adult acute myeloblastic leukemia without maturation (M1),adult acute myelomonocytic leukemia (M4),adult acute poorly differentiated monocytic leukemia (M5a),adult acute myeloid leukemia in remission,adult acute myeloblastic leukemia with maturation (M2)
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) , Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by radiation therapy used to kill tumor cells. Infusions of donor white blood cells may decrease the body's rejection of the transplanted peripheral stem cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining radiation therapy, peripheral stem cell transplantation, and donor white blood cell infusions in treating older patients who have acute myeloid leukemia.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether mixed or full donor chimerism can be safely established in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated with nonmyeloablative conditioning comprised of low dose total body irradiation, followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, followed by unrelated donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). II. Determine whether mixed chimerism can be safely converted to full donor chimerism in patients treated with DLI. III. Determine the potential efficacy of this regimen in AML patients who are in first remission. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Conditioning: Patients undergo low dose total body irradiation followed by infusion of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) on day 0. Donor lymphocyte infusions: Nonmobilized donor lymphocytes are harvested from the same HLA identical related donor on day 95 after PBSC transplantation. Eligible patients with mixed chimerism and no graft versus host disease (GVHD) receive the first donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) on the same day that donor lymphocytes are collected. Patients who continue to have mixed chimerism and no GVHD receive the second DLI at a higher dose level on day 65 after the first DLI. Patients are followed weekly until day 90, and then monthly thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
