Brief summary

This is a single arm open label phase II clinical trial. Adult patients with hematological malignancies undergoing allogeneic HSCT from matched-related or unrelated donor are eligible for the study if they meet the standard criteria defined in the investigator's institutional standard operation procedures (SOPs), meet all inclusion criteria, and do not satisfy any exclusion criteria. Patients will receive reduced-intensity or myeloablative conditioning regimen of fludarabine, busulfan, and rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG). Patients will receive PTCyBor as GvHD prophylaxis.

Interventions

Inclusion criteria

* Karnofsky score ≥ 70% * No evidence of progressive bacterial, viral, or fungal infection * Creatinine clearance \> 50 mL/min/1.72m2 * Total bilirubin, ALT and AST \< 2 x the upper limit of normal (except for Gilbert's syndrome) * Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 250 IU/L * Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) \> 45% * Adjusted Carbon Monoxide Diffusing Capacity (DLCO) \> 60% * Negative HIV serology * Negative pregnancy test: confirmation per negative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG)

A woman of reproductive capability is one who has not undergone a hysterectomy (removal of the womb), has not had both ovaries removed, or has not been post-menopausal (stopped menstrual periods) for more than 24 months in a row. * Male subjects who refuse to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through a minimum of 90 days after the last dose of study drug, or completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse. This must be done even if they are surgically sterilized (i.e., post-vasectomy). * Inability to provide informed consent. * Patient had myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to enrollment or has New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure (see Appendix E), uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities. Prior to study entry, any ECG abnormality at screening must be documented by the investigator as not medically relevant. * Known allergies to any of the components of the investigational treatment regimen. * Serious medical or psychiatric illness likely to interfere with participation in this clinical study. * Diagnosed or treated for another malignancy within 3 years of enrollment, with the exception of complete resection of basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, an in-situ malignancy, or low-risk prostate cancer after curative therapy. * Participation in clinical trials with other investigational agents not included in this trial, within 14 days of the start of this trial and throughout the duration of this trial. * Prisoners

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Who Experience Acute GvHDDay 120 Post-TransplantRate of acute GvHD post-transplant. All participants that received a transplant and received any prophylactic treatment will be included in the analysis.
Percentage of Participants Who Experience Moderate to Severe Chronic GvHDDay 365 Post-TransplantRate of chronic GvHD post-transplant. All participants that received a transplant and received any prophylactic treatment will be included in the analysis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of Primary Graft FailureDay 45 Post-TransplantIncidence of graft failure will be calculated from date of transplant to failure for all patients who receive a transplant and any prophylactic treatment and from date of completion of prophylactic treatment for all participants that completed treatment. Graft failure is defined as failure to achieve neutrophil engraftment by day 28 post-transplant or lack of donor chimerism \> 50% by day 45 post-transplant not due to the underlying malignancy.
Incidence of Poor Graft FunctionDay 30 Post-TransplantIncidence of poor graft function will be calculated from date of transplant to failure for all patients who receive a transplant and any prophylactic treatment and from date of completion of prophylactic treatment for all participants that completed treatment. Poor graft function is defined by at least 2 of the following 3 criteria: Hemoglobin \< 8 g/dL, ANC \< 0.5 109/L, and platelets \< 20 109/L. The cytopenia must be unexplained (such as by disease relapse) and unresponsive to cytokines and must last at least 4 weeks.
Incidence of Secondary Graft FailureDay 730 Post-TransplantIncidence of secondary graft failure is evaluated after engraftment is achieved; this outcome is calculated from date of engraftment for all patients with engraftment. Secondary graft failure is defined as poor graft function associated with donor chimerism \< 5%.
Treatment Related Mortality (TRM)Day 730 Post-TransplantNumber of participant deaths not attributable to disease relapse or progression . This outcome is analyzed based on participants that who received a transplant with any prophylactic treatment and for all patients who received a transplant and completed prophylactic treatment.
Relapse Rate (RR)Day 730 Post-TransplantPercentage of participants in whom the disease for which transplant is performed is evident by methods of disease detection after transplant. This outcome is analyzed for all patients who received a transplant and for all transplanted patients that completed treatment.
Graft Versus Host Disease Relapse Free Survival (GRFS)Day 730 Post-TransplantPercentage of participants who are without reported GvHD III-IV acute GvHD, chronic GvHD requiring systemic therapy and have not experienced relapse or death after transplant.
Overall Survival (OS)Day 730 Post-TransplantPercentage of participants alive at the end of the study's evaluation period.
