  Purpose

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the stem cells from a related donor, that do not exactly match the patient's blood, are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy followed by donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic cancer.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine a standard approach to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with matched unrelated donors in patients with hematologic malignancies.
  • Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the relapse rate and survival rate in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Correlate incidence and severity of graft-versus-host disease with relapse and survival in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive 1 of the following preparative regimens:

  • Regimen A: Patients receive cytarabine IV over 1 hour twice daily on days -9 to -7 and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -6 and -5. Patients also undergo total body irradiation (TBI) twice daily on days -4 to -1.
  • Regimen B: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV and TBI as in regimen A.
  • Regimen B2: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -5 and -4. Patients also undergo TBI twice daily on days -3 to -1.
  • Regimen C: Patients receive oral busulfan 4 times daily on days -8 to -5 and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -4 to -2.

All patients undergo stem cell transplantation from a matched, unrelated donor on day 0.

Patients are followed weekly for 100 days, at 6 months, and then every 6 months for 2.5 years.

Criteria

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • One of the following histologically confirmed diseases:

    • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

      • In first, second, or greater remission
      • In early relapse (less than 30% marrow blasts)
    • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)

      • In second or greater complete remission
      • High-risk ALL in first complete remission, defined by 1 of the following factors:

        • t(4;11), t(9;22), or t(8;14) translocation
        • Extreme hyperleukocytosis (WBC greater than 500,000/mL) at presentation
        • Failure to achieve a complete remission after standard induction therapy
    • Chronic myelogenous leukemia
    • Myelodysplastic syndromes

      • Evolution to AML included

        • Refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB)
        • RAEB in transformation
    • Intermediate or high-grade lymphoma

      • Complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after first or greater relapse OR
      • PR only after first-line therapy NOTE: A new classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ. The terminology of "indolent" or "aggressive" lymphoma will replace the former terminology of "low", "intermediate", or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol uses the former terminology.
