Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. To determine the efficacy of in vivo purging achieved by rituximab in the two groups.
2. To determine the number of apheresis procedures, total stem cell yield/kg patient body weight and the toxicity profile in the two groups.
Secondary Objectives:
1. To determine the degree of expression of various adhesion molecules in the 2 groups and correlate with time to engraftment of neutrophils, platelets, and red blood cells, efficacy of stem cell mobilization and purging.
2. To determine the incidence of disease progression/relapse at 12 months in the two groups.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Before the study begins, you will have a complete physical exam and have blood (around 1-2 tablespoons) and urine collected for routine tests. You will have x-rays and CT scans to check on the status of the disease. A sample of bone marrow will be collected for tests. To collect a bone marrow sample, an area of the hip or chest bone is numbed with anesthetic and a small amount of bone marrow is withdrawn through a large needle. Your heart and lung function will be evaluated. You will have an electrocardiogram (ECG - a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart) and either a echocardiogram or a multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) (these are tests that measure heart functions). You will also have lung function tests. Women who are able to have children must have a negative blood or urine pregnancy test.
You will have a plastic tube (central venous catheter - CVL) inserted under your collarbone. The CVL will be left in place for the duration of the treatment. The catheter will be used to deliver most of the drugs and for the collection and transfusion of the stem cells. When possible, all drugs that need to be given by vein will be given using the catheter.
All treatment will be given at M. D. Anderson. First, you will be given chemotherapy to increase the number of stem cells in your blood stream. This chemotherapy will include the drugs ifosfamide, etoposide, and rituximab. You will receive a higher dose of rituximab than is standard of care. The drug ifosfamide will be started on Day 2 and will be given as a continuous injection into a vein over 72 hours. The drug etoposide will also be started on Day 2 and will be given by vein over 2 hours every 12 hours. Rituximab will be given by vein over 4-6 hours on Days 1 and 8. To help decrease the risk of developing side effects caused by the chemotherapy, you will be given fluids by vein and a drug called mesna. Mesna will be given by vein over 24 hours after treatment with ifosfamide is finished. You will have to stay in the hospital for 4-6 days for this part of the treatment.
You will be randomly assigned (as in the toss of a coin) to one of two treatment groups. Participants in one group will receive G-CSF and GM-CSF. Participants in the other group will receive G-CSF alone.
After completion of chemotherapy, you will get GM-CSF and G-CSF or just G-CSF injections (given under the skin) twice a day. These drugs are given to help increase the number of white blood cells and will continue to be given until an adequate number of stem cells have been collected. During this time, you will have blood collected for tests (around 1 tablespoon) at least 3 times a week. If your doctor feels it is necessary, you may have blood collected more often.
Blood stem cells will be collected when your blood counts have returned to normal (about 10-16 days after the chemotherapy). The process of stem cell collection takes about 4 hours. It may take 1-6 sessions to collect the number of stem cells needed for the transplant. The process of stem cell collection is called apheresis. A machine is attached to the catheter under the collar bone and blood is withdrawn. The blood then flows through the machine, which removes stem cells from the blood. The blood is then returned back to you through the catheter. The stem cells are then frozen and stored. These stem cells will be given back to you after the next phase of treatment to help your blood counts recover after high dose chemotherapy. After enough stem cells have been collected, you will be admitted to the hospital for high dose chemotherapy.
You will have check-up visits at various times over the next year as part of your standard evaluation after transplantation to check on the status of the disease.
This is an investigational study. All of the drugs used in this study are FDA approved and are commercially available. Up to 100 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.
