Cyclophosphamide Treatment Options

This pilot clinical trial studies donor stem cell transplant followed by cyclophosphamide in treating patients with hematological diseases. Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving cyclophosphamide after the transplant may stop this from happening. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant (UCBT) to treat the patient's disease, and to see if this treatment can decrease the incidence of GVHD. This study is for patients that were born with a disease that affects their body's metabolism or immune system. The doctor plans to treat the patient for this illness with a stem cell transplant. While improved medical care has allowed many people with these diseases to live longer, the only way to truly cure the diseases is by means of a stem cell transplant from a donor who does not have the disease. A stem cell transplant will replace sick cells with new healthy donor cells. Stem cells grow into different types of blood cells that people need, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In a stem cell transplant, the patients own stem cells would be killed by chemotherapy drug and then replaced by stem cells from the donor. Stem cells can be collected from the bone marrow, peripheral blood or umbilical cords. In this study, umbilical cords will be the source of the stem cells. Currently, large inventories of umbilical cord blood units are available in public banks for transplantation in those lacking bone marrow donors. UCB transplants offer several advantages over adult bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplants, including: 1. Rapid availability, 2. Absence of donor risk, 3. Low risk of transmissible infectious diseases, 4. Low risk of acute GvHD (as compared to recipients of unrelated donor marrow and peripheral blood cells). The two main causes of death after umbilical cord blood transplantation for disorders for these kinds of patients, are graft failure and infection. In this study we are trying to address these two problems by using different drugs to prepare patients for the transplant. To help improve engraftment (cells begin to grow), we will include the drug Fludarabine to the usually used Busulfan and Cytoxan that the study patients will receive before their transplant. We will try to decrease the chance of developing graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) by using Cyclosporin A (CSA) and Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF), instead of Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (ATG) which is normally used.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor bone marrow transplant or peripheral stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When certain stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving busulfan together with cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin followed by donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well an umbilical cord blood transplant with added sugar works with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with leukemia or lymphoma. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The umbilical cord blood cells will be grown ("expanded") on a special layer of cells collected from the bone marrow of healthy volunteers in a laboratory. A type of sugar will also be added to the cells in the laboratory that may help the transplant to "take" faster. Read Less

This study compares the safety and effectiveness of giving rivogenlecleucel (BPX-501 T cells) to patients with AML or MDS post haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant compared to post-transplant cyclophosphamide. Read Less

Non-Hodgin's lymphoma is curable in 76% of patients. In nonlymphoblastic lymphmas, cancer may return on average 3 months from beginning treatment and for lymphoblastic lymphomas, 6 months. To aggressively treat this cancer this study uses effective drugs in three parts: * Induction ends on day 19 * Consolidation ends on day 38 or 42 * Maintenance may include up to 6 cycles Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn if it is possible and safe to treat persons with severe sickle cell disease (SCD) by bone marrow transplant (BMT) from human leukocyte antigen (HLA) half-matched related donors. Preparation before transplant includes the chemotherapy drugs hydroxyurea, fludarabine, thiotepa, anti-thymocyte globulin, and cyclophosphamide. It also includes radiation. Read Less

This is a Phase I dose-finding study of FT538 as monotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and in combination with monoclonal antibodies in multiple myeloma (MM). The study will consist of a dose-escalation stage and an expansion stage where participants will be enrolled into indication-specific cohorts. Read Less

This is a phase II trial using a non-myeloablative cyclophosphamide/ fludarabine/total body irradiation (TBI) preparative regimen followed by a related or unrelated donor stem cell infusion. The primary objective is to evaluate rates of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grades II-IV and chronic GVHD with an updated GVHD prophylaxis of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) with a non-myeloablative preparative regimen in persons with hematologic malignancies.
