Auto Stem Cell Transplant for Lymphoma Patients
Plain-language summary
This trial is testing high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (using the patient's own stem cells) compared with observation for patients with various types of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) whose disease has come back or stopped responding to prior treatment. This is a Phase 2 trial, which means researchers are studying how well the treatment works and monitoring for side effects. Patients are randomly assigned to different treatment groups. This trial is available at 1 location in the United States. The trial is currently recruiting patients.
Who can join (key eligibility)
- Lymphoma came back or did not respond to prior treatment
- Must be well enough for treatment (adequate performance status)
Final eligibility is determined by the trial team. This list is a starting point only.
What's being tested
Etoposide (DRUG): BEAM: 100 mg/m\^2 IV over 2 hours BID on Days -5, -4, -3, -2 \| CBV: 150 mg/m\^2 intravenously over 4 hours every 12 hours starting at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Days -6, -5, -4 | BCNU (DRUG): BEAM \& CBV: 300 mg/m\^2 IV over over 2 hours on Day -6 | AraC (DRUG): BEAM: 100 mg/m\^2 IV over 1 hour BID on Days -5, -4, -3, -2 | Melphalan (DRUG): BEAM: 140 mg/m\^2 IV over 20 minutes on Day -1 | Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PROCEDURE): All Arms: Day 0 infuse PBSC. All patients will have PBSC collected by leukapheresis. Mobilization will be done with G-CSF. | G-CSF (BIOLOGICAL): All patients should receive G-CSF, 5 ug/kg/day IV as a bolus injection each evening beginning on day +5 until the ANC is \>2500 x 10\^9/L for 2 consecutive days. G-CSF will subsequently be restarted at 5 ug/kg/day SC or IV if the ANC falls below 1000/mm\^3 | Cyclophosphamide (DRUG): CBV: 1.5 gm/M\^2 over 2 hours at 10 a.m. on Days -6, -5, -4, -3 \| CY/TBI: 60 mg/kg IV over 2 hours on Days -7, -6 | Total Body Irradiation (RADIATION): CY/TBI: 165 cGy bid on Day -4, -3, -2, -1
