Brief summary

RATIONALE: Photopheresis allows patient white blood cells to be treated with ultraviolet (UV) light and drugs outside the body to inactivate T cells. Pentostatin may suppress the immune system and reduce the chance of developing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following bone marrow transplantation. Combining photopheresis with pentostatin and total-body irradiation may be effective in killing cancer cells before bone marrow transplantation. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving photophoresis together with pentostatin and total-body irradiation as a reduced-intensity regimen before allogeneic bone marrow transplantation works in treating patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin's or Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Detailed description

OBJECTIVES: * Determine the rate of stable engraftment of donor cells in patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin's or Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with a reduced toxicity conditioning regimen followed by allogeneic (sibling or unrelated) bone marrow transplantation. * Determine the extent and duration of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients treated with this regimen. * Determine the 100-day overall survival and long-term progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen. * Evaluate the feasibility of collection of molecular chimerism studies at baseline, days 30, 100, 6 months and one and two years and at relapse. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. * Conditioning regimen: Patients undergo extracorporeal photopheresis using methoxsalen and UV light on 2 consecutive days between days -7 to -4. Patients receive pentostatin intravenously (IV) continuously on days -3 to -2 and undergo total body irradiation on day -1. * Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation: Patients undergo infusion of allogeneic bone marrow or stem cells on day 0. * Graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis: Patients receive oral or IV cyclosporine beginning on day -1 and continuing until 6 months after transplantation, oral mycofenolate mofetil beginning on day 100 and continuing for 1 year, and methotrexate IV on days 1 and 3. Patients are followed at day 100, every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually for 2 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 36 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.8 years.

Interventions

PROCEDUREExtracorporeal Photopheresis

Day -7 to -4: Extracorporeal Photopheresis may be given as an outpatient therapy on two consecutive days any time between days -7 to -4. This must be performed on UVAR or XTS photopheresis machines (Therakos, Inc.) according to standard procedure as per manufacturer's guidelines.

DRUGPentostatin

Day -3, -2: Pentostatin 4 mg/m²/d by continuous IV infusion (Total dose = 8 mg/m²)

RADIATIONTotal body irradiation (TBI)

Day -1: TBI 400 cGy total dose given in two 200cGy doses. Patients who have received TBI for a previous transplant or radiation as part of previous treatment for a lymphoid malignancy will receive only 200 cGy in 1 dose.

PROCEDUREAllogeneic bone marrow transplantation

Day 0: Infusion of unmanipulated allogeneic bone marrow or stem cells. Minimum cell dose of 2 x 106 CD34 cells/kg recipient and no more than 10 x 10\^6 CD34/kg

Cyclosporin A or tacrolimus will be administered according to institutional GVHD prophylaxis protocols. Therapeutic levels will be maintained and patients will be switched to oral agents when they can tolerate

DRUGMycophenolate mofetil (MMF)

At day 100 MMF will be introduced at a dose of 250 mg po BID and cyclosporine or tacrolimus will be tapered according to the discretion of the investigator. The dosage will be escalated to a maximum of 2 g/d at the discretion of the attending physician and will be tapered and discontinued at 12 months if there is no active cGVHD. Doses should be given on an empty stomach

DRUGMethotrexate (MTX)

The dose of Methotrexate is based on the corrected ideal body weight for patients with \> 33% above ideal weight. Day +1 MTX 15 mg/m² IV push; Day +3 MTX 10 mg/m² IV push (May be omitted if patient develops mouth sores.)
