Objectives

  1. Determine if mixed or full donor hematopoietic chimerism can be safely achieved with nonmyeloablative conditioning therapy in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
  2. Determine if mixed chimerism can be safely converted to full donor hematopoietic chimerism with donor lymphocyte infusions in this patient population.
  3. Determine the efficacy of this treatment regimen in this patient population.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Disease response
Safety as measured by transplant related mortality on day 200 after allografting
Donor engraftment on day 56 after allografting

Outline

This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive fludarabine IV on days -4 to -2 and undergo total body irradiation followed by filgrastim (G-CSF)-mobilized HLA-matched allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation on day 0.

Patients receive immunosuppressive therapy comprising oral cyclosporine twice daily beginning on day -3 and continuing until day 35 followed by a taper until day 56. Patients also receive oral mycophenolate mofetil three times daily on days 0-40.

Patients with stable mixed chimerism on day 56 and no evidence of graft-vs-host disease may receive escalating doses of nonmobilized T-cell donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) over 30 minutes. Patients may receive up to 4 DLIs if there is evidence of disease progression.

Patients are followed weekly for 3 months, monthly for 3 months, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually for 3 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
