Sirolimus, Tacrolimus, Thymoglobulin and Rituximab as Graft-versus-Host-Disease Prophylaxis in Patients Undergoing Haploidentical and HLA Partially Matched Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Condition: Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders; Graft Versus Host Disease; Leukemia; Lymphoma; Lymphoproliferative Disorder; Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm; Myelodysplastic Syndromes; Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
MeSH terms: Lymphoma; Leukemia; Neoplasms; Multiple Myeloma; Neoplasms, Plasma Cell; Preleukemia; Plasmacytoma; Myelodysplastic Syndromes; Myeloproliferative Disorders; Lymphoproliferative Disorders; Myelodysplastic-Myeloproliferative Diseases; Graft vs Host Disease; Syndrome
Intervention: anti-thymocyte globulin; rituximab; sirolimus; tacrolimus; laboratory biomarker analysis; allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; management of therapy complications; peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
Intervention description: Infuse the first dose over a minimum of 6 hours, and subsequent doses over a minimum of 4 hours via a 0.22 micron in-line filter.; The total dose chosen for this protocol is 28 mg/kg divided in two doses (14 mg/kg on days -7 and +3). Initial infusion: Start rate of 50 mg/hour; if there is no reaction, increase the rate by 50 mg/hour increments every 30 minutes, to a maximum rate of 400 mg/hour. Subsequent infusions: If patient did not tolerate initial infusion follow initial infusion guidelines. If patient tolerated initial infusion, start at 100 mg/hour; if there is no reaction, increase the rate by 100 mg/hour increments every 30 minutes, to a maximum rate of 400 mg/hour. Note: If a reaction occurs, slow or stop the infusion. If the reaction abates, restart infusion at 50% of the previous rate.
In patients who tolerated the Rituximab well in the past, a rapid infusion rate can be used over 90 minutes with 20% of the dose administered in the first 30 minutes and the remaining 80% is given over 60 minutes.; For adults, Sirolimus will be administered at 12 mg orally loading dose on day -3, followed by 4 mg orally single morning daily dose (target serum level 3-12 ng/ml by HPLC).; Tacrolimus will be administered intravenously at a dose of 0.03 mg/kg (ideal body weight) q 24h by continuous infusion starting on Day -3. Intravenous Tacrolimus will be discontinued once the patient starts eating and the drug will then be given orally at a dose of approximately 4 times the intravenous dose.; laboratory biomarker analysis; allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; management of therapy complications; peripheral blood stem cell transplantation

Summary:

      This Phase II clinical trial was designed for patients with hematologic malignancies in need
      of donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant, and have no HLA matched donor. Therefore It
      will test the efficacy of combining sirolimus, tacrolimus, antithymocyte globulin, and
      rituximab in preventing graft versus host disease in transplants from HLA Haploidentical and
      partially mismatched donors.
