Summary
Study start date: February 1, 1993
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.OBJECTIVES: Determine the curative potential of high-dose cyclophosphamide, etoposide, and cisplatin (CEP) followed by syngeneic or autologous bone marrow and/or autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) rescue in patients with relapsed or refractory stage I-IV Hodgkin's lymphoma. Determine the overall response rate and survival of patients treated with this regimen. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients. Determine the differences in the rate of engraftment, response, and survival of patients treated with bone marrow vs PBSC transplantation. Determine the response rate and survival of patients treated with late consolidative radiotherapy after recovery from transplantation. Determine the toxicity of late consolidative radiotherapy after recovery from transplantation in these patients. OUTLINE: Syngeneic or autologous bone marrow and/or autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are harvested. Syngeneic bone marrow transplantation is preferred for patients with a qualifying identical twin donor. Patients without a syngeneic donor who have a history of lymphomatous involvement of the bone marrow or are profoundly hypocellular undergo harvest of PBSC alone. Patients without a syngeneic donor who have no history of lymphomatous involvement of the bone marrow undergo harvest of autologous bone marrow or PBSC. Patients receive conditioning comprising cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -6 to -3 and etoposide IV over 1 hour every 12 hours and cisplatin IV continuously on days -6 to -4. Bone marrow and/or PBSC are infused on day 0. (Patients requiring more than 25 bags of stem cells receive bone marrow transplantation on day 0 and PBSC transplantation on day 1.) After recovery from transplantation, eligible patients receive consolidative radiotherapy to any site of prior bulk disease (greater than 5 cm) present at any time before transplantation and any site of disease present at the time of transplantation. Patients are followed at 3, 6, and 12 months and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 30 patients will be accrued for this study.
