A Non-Myeloablative Conditioning Regimen With Peri-Transplant Rituximab and the Transplantation of Unrelated Donor Umbilical Cord Blood in Patients With B Cell Lymphoid Malignancies
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating filgrastim, rituximab, and 7 other interventions for Leukemia and Lymphoma. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, total-body irradiation, and rituximab before a donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy together with rituximab and an umbilical cord blood transplant works in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
