Summary
Study start date: August 1, 1998
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.OBJECTIVES: I. Offer donor lymphocyte infusion as adoptive immunotherapy in patients with relapsed malignancies after allogeneic bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and who are not eligible for other FHCRC protocols. OUTLINE: Patients with rapidly progressive disease receive reinduction chemotherapy and radiotherapy prior to study therapy. Donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) begin after recovery from chemotherapy or sooner, if clinically indicated. Patients receive 1 or more DLI from the original donor. Patients are followed monthly for 3 months, then every 3-6 months for 9 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: An unlimited number of patients will be accrued for this study.
