NCT00383994
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if giving a boost of natural killer (NK) cells from a donor combined with Rituxan (rituximab), can help to control disease in patients who have already received an allogeneic stem cell transplant. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. Participants have recurrent chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or lymphoma after non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation. Primary Objectives: 1.0 To determine the safety of Natural Killer (NK) cells and Rituximab + rhu-Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF) in patients with persistent or recurrent B-cell lymphoid malignancies after non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation. 2.0 To determine factors associated with response.
NCT00550992
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem 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. Giving cyclosporine, methotrexate, leucovorin, and antithymocyte globulin before and after transplant may stop this from happening. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is most effective in treating acute leukemia. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well different therapies work in treating infants with newly diagnosed acute leukemia.
