Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:

18 years to 70 years

Genders Eligible for Study:

Male and Female

Health of Volunteers:

People with the conditions listed in this trial can participate as controls.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

- Age 18 to 70 years.
- Histologically proven diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) by the WHO classification.
- Relapse after achieving initial remission or failure to achieve initial remission. Patients with residual radiographic abnormalities after primary therapy are eligible if abnormalities are FDG-PET positive.
- Receipt of 2 cycles of second-line therapy and FDG-PET positive per Stanford (central) review. FDG-PET to be done 2 weeks after cycle 2 of second line chemotherapy.
- ECOG performance status < 2
- Matched related or unrelated donor identified and available
- Bone marrow biopsy and cytogenetic analysis within 8 weeks of registration
- Women of child-bearing potential and sexually active males are strongly advised to use an accepted and effective method of birth control.
- Patients must have a pretreatment serum bilirubin < 2 x the institutional ULN, a serum creatinine < 2 x the institutional ULN and measured or estimated creatinine clearance > 60 cc/min by the following formula (all tests must be performed within 28 days prior to registration):
* Estimated Creatinine Clearance = (140 age)X WT(kg) X 0.85 if female
72X serum creatinine(mg/dl).
- Patients must have an EKG within 42 days prior to registration that shows no significant abnormalities that are suggestive of active cardiac disease.
- Patients requiring therapy for coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, dysrhythmia, or congestive heart failure are not eligible.
- Patients must have a radionuclide ejection fraction within 42 days of registration. If the ejection fraction is <40%, the patient will not be eligible. If the ejection fraction is 40-50%, the patient will have a cardiology consult.
- Patients must have a corrected diffusion capacity >55%.
- Patients with known allergy to etoposide or a history of Grade 3 hemorrhagic cystitis with cyclophosphamide are not eligible.
- Patients with > grade 2 sensory or motor peripheral neuropathy from prior vinca alkaloid use are not eligible.
- Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign and give written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

- Pregnant or breast-feeding women are ineligible due to the known birth defects association with the treatments used in this study.
- Patients known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive are ineligible because the concern for opportunistic infection and hematologic reserve are considered to be significantly greater in this population. The antibody test for HIV must be performed within 42 days of registration.
- No chemotherapy other than corticosteroids should be administered within 2 weeks of the initiation of protocol therapy.
- No prior malignancy is allowed except adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer or other cancer for which the patients has been disease-free for five years. Patients with a prior diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are not eligible.
- Patients with active infection requiring oral or intraveneous antibiotics are excluded.
- No prior autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.
- No prior radioimmunotherapy

Donor Selection/Evaluation:
- Related or unrelated HLA identical donors who are in good health and have no contra-indication to donation.
- No contra-indication for the donor to collection by apheresis of mononuclear cells mobilized by G-CSF at a dose of 16 ?g/kg of body weight.
- Donors will be evaluated with a full history and physical examination.
- Virology testing including CMV, HIV, EBV, HTLV, RPR, Hepatitis A, B and C will be performed within 30 days of donation.
- Prospective donors will be screened for CMV seroreactivity and seronegative donors will be utilized if available. If the possibility of more than one HLA-matched related donor exists, then the donor will be selected on the basis of CD31 allotype.
