Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. An umbilical cord blood transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving fludarabine and cyclophosphamide together with total-body irradiation followed by an umbilical cord blood transplant, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil works in treating patients with hematologic cancer.

Trial Design

6Treatment groups

Active Control

Group I: Arm 6 - No prior autologous transplantActive Control7 Interventions

Arm 6 - hematologic malignancy patients who have not been treated with prior autologous transplant or ≤ 1 cycle of chemotherapy in the 3 months previous to umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT), and who should receive anti-thymocyte globulin as conditioning regimen. Conditioning Fludarabine dose of 30 mg/m2/day x 5, cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation with anti-thymocyte globulin followed by umbilical cord blood transplantation, and peri-transplant Mycophenolate Mofetil and Sirolimus.

Group II: Arm 5 - Previous Autologous TransplantActive Control6 Interventions

Arm 5 - hematologic malignancy patients who have received a previous autologous transplant or ≥ 2 cycle of multiagent chemotherapy within the last 3 months previous to umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT). Conditioning Fludarabine dose of 30 mg/m2/day x 5, cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation without anti-thymocyte globulin followed by umbilical cord blood transplantation, and peri-transplant Mycophenolate Mofetil and Sirolimus.

Group III: Arm 1-Previous Autologous TransplantActive Control6 Interventions

Arm 1 - hematologic malignancy patients who have received a previous autologous transplant or ≥ 2 cycle of multiagent chemotherapy within the last 3 months previous to umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT). Conditioning Fludarabine dose of 40 mg/m2/day x 5, cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation without anti-thymocyte globulin followed by umbilical cord blood transplantation, and peri-transplant Mycophenolate Mofetil and Sirolimus.

Group IV: Arm 2 - No Prior Autologous TransplantActive Control7 Interventions

Arm 2 - hematologic malignancy patients who have not been treated with prior autologous transplant or ≤ 1 cycle of chemotherapy in the 3 months previous to umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT), and who should receive anti-thymocyte globulin as conditioning regimen. Conditioning Fludarabine dose of 40 mg/m2/day x 5, cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation with anti-thymocyte globulin followed by umbilical cord blood transplantation, and peri-transplant Mycophenolate Mofetil and Sirolimus.

Group V: Arm 3 - Refractory Leukemia/LymphomaActive Control7 Interventions

Arm 3 - patients with refractory leukemia or lymphoma who have been rendered aplastic either by induction chemotherapy or radioimmunoconjugated monoclonal antibody therapy. Conditioning Fludarabine dose of 40 mg/m2/day x 5, cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation with anti-thymocyte globulin followed by umbilical cord blood transplantation, and peri-transplant Mycophenolate Mofetil and Sirolimus.

Group VI: Arm 4: MT2006-01 coenrolling patientsActive Control6 Interventions

Arm 4 - hematologic malignancy patients enrolled in MT2006-01. Conditioning Fludarabine dose of 40 mg/m2/day x 5, cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation with or without anti-thymocyte globulin followed by umbilical cord blood transplantation, and peri-transplant Mycophenolate Mofetil and Sirolimus.
