Summary
Blood and marrow stem cell transplant has improved the outcome for patients with high-risk
hematologic malignancies. However, most patients do not have an appropriate HLA (immune
type) matched sibling donor available and/or are unable to identify an acceptable unrelated
HLA matched donor through the registries in a timely manner. Another option is
haploidentical transplant using a partially matched family member donor.
Although haploidentical transplant has proven curative in many patients, this procedure has
been hindered by significant complications, primarily regimen-related toxicity including
GVHD and infection due to delayed immune reconstitution. These can, in part, be due to
certain white blood cells in the graft called T cells. GVHD happens when the donor T cells
recognize the body tissues of the patient (the host) are different and attack these cells.
Although too many T cells increase the possibility of GVHD, too few may cause the
recipient's immune system to reconstitute slowly or the graft to fail to grow, leaving the
patient at high-risk for significant infection.
For these reasons, a primary focus for researchers is to engineer the graft to provide a T
cell dose that will reduce the risk for GVHD, yet provide a sufficient number of cells to
facilitate immune reconstitution and graft integrity. Building on prior institutional
trials, this study will provide patients with a haploidentical (HAPLO) graft engineered to
specific T cell target values using the CliniMACS system. A reduced intensity, preparative
regimen will be used in an effort to reduce regimen-related toxicity and mortality.
The primary aim of the study is to help improve overall survival with haploidentical stem
cell transplant in this high risk patient population by 1) limiting the complication of
graft versus host disease (GVHD), 2) enhancing post-transplant immune reconstitution, and 3)
reducing non-relapse mortality.
Clinical Details
Official title: A Reduced Intensity Conditioning Regimen With CD3-Depleted Hematopoietic Stem Cells to Improve Survival for Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Undergoing Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation
Study design: Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: To determine if one year event-free survival can be improved in pediatric patients undergoing a haploidentical transplant by using a reduced intensity conditioning regimen and a targeted dose T cell depleted donor product.
Secondary outcome: To estimate the one-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) for research participants who receive this study treatment.To estimate the cumulative incidence of relapse for research participants who receive this study treatment. To estimate the rate of overall grade III-IV acute GVHD, and the rate and severity of chronic GVHD in research participants. To estimate the incidence of non-hematologic regimen-related toxicity and regimen-related mortality in the first 100 days post-transplant.
Detailed description:
This study will explore the following objectives:
1. To assess if the event-free survival at one-year post-transplant for research
participants with high-risk hematologic malignancies can be improved following HAPLO
hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) using a graft depleted of CD3+ cells ex vivo
and a reduced intensity-conditioning regimen.
Secondary objectives:
1. To estimate the one-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) for
research participants who receive this study treatment.
2. To estimate the cumulative incidence of relapse for research participants who receive
this study treatment.
3. To estimate the rate of overall grade III-IV acute GVHD, and the rate and severity of
chronic GVHD in research participants.
4. To estimate the incidence of non-hematologic regimen-related toxicity and
regimen-related mortality in the first 100 days post-transplant.
Exploratory objectives:
1. To explore the biologic significance of soluble interleukin-2 receptor and immunologic
state [quantitative lymphocyte studies, V beta spectratyping, T-cell receptor excision
circles (TREC) assay] to predict the development of acute and chronic GVHD in these
research participants.
2. To measure the pharmacokinetics of Campath-1H in pediatric HAPLO HSCT recipients
