Brief summary

Primary objective of this open label, two-arm, multicenter, multinational, randomized trial is to compare anti-leukemic activity of allogeneic stem cell transplantation for patients with acute leukemia in complete remission between a 10/10 HLA matched unrelated donor and a haploidentical donor. The hypothesis: Haploidentical stem cell transplantation with post cyclophosphamide induces a stronger anti-leukemic activity in comparison to 10/10 HLA matched unrelated donor and reduces the risk of relapse at 2 years after stem cell transplantation by 10%.

Detailed description

Secondary objectives are to assess and compare the safety and efficacy of study treatments therapy in both study arms on non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse-free survival (RFS), Overall survival (OS), QOL, toxicity, development of acute and chronic GvDH as well as engraftment and chimerism and impact of measurable residual disease.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Relapse incidence at two years between both arms2 yearsThe primary efficacy endpoint will be analyzed using cumulative incidence estimation to assess the subdistribution hazard rates for both treatment groups at two years after accounting for competing risk events.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survival at two years between both arms2 yearsThe overall survival at two years between both arms will be presented with Kaplan-Meier's estimates of survival.
Overall survival for all patients assigned to one of the two treatment arms as time to event endpointthrough study completion, an average of two yerasThe overall survival for all patients will be presented with Kaplan-Meier curve. To compare the survival distributions between two arms, log-rank test will be performed, and two-sided p-values will be presented. If applicable, Cox regression model stratified by the types of leukemia, types of complete remission and conditioning will be performed as sensitivity analysis.
Comparison of GVHD/relapse-free survival as Composite endpoint in both armsStarting at day +30 (+/- 3 d) to 24 months (+/- 1 mo) after allogenic stem cell transplantation (SCT)The rate of composite endpoint in both arms will be analyzed with the same methods as for the overall survival at two years between both arms.
Comparison of non-relapsed mortality (NRM) at 1 and 2 years after allogeneic SCT in both armsAt 1 and 2 years after allogeneic SCTDue to the existence of competing risk events (persisting disease and relapse), NRM of each arm at 1 and 2 years after allogeneic SCT will be analyzed with the same methods as for the primary endpoint
Comparison of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) on day +100 and 1 year (max grade) after allogeneic SCT according to the Glucksberg scale revised by Przepiorka et al. between both armsOn day +100 and 1 year (max grade) after allogeneic SCTFor each time point, the frequency and percentage of aGVHD (maximum grade) of each arm will be presented. To compare the difference between both arms, logistic regression adjusted for covariates and stratification factors will be performed.
Comparison of toxicity of both regimens scored according to the current version of the NCI CTCAE between both armsthrough study completion, an average of two yerasSafety will be analyzed with frequency of patients with AEs as described above.
Comparison of immune reconstitution between both armsAt day 30, 100, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after allogenic SCTFrequency and percentage of patients having immune reconstitution in two arms will be provided. For the comparison between two arms, logistic regression adjusted for the stratification factors will be performed.
Comparison of full donor chimerism between both armsAt day 30, 100, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after allogenic SCTFrequency and percentage of patients having full donor chimerism in two arms will be provided. For the comparison between two arms, logistic regression adjusted for the stratification factors will be performed.
Evaluation of Sorror Risk Score on outcome after allogeneic SCTAt baselineComorbidity score after Sorror will be assessed prior to randomization and outcome in both arms will be analyzed according the pre-transplant Sorror score.
Comparison of QOL (FACT-BMT) before and after transplantation at + 100 days, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years between both armsAt day 100, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after allogenic SCTThe means of change in scores at each time point (day 100, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after transplantation respectively) from baseline and the confidence intervals of each arm will be presented. To compare the difference in QOL scores between both arms, logistic regression adjusted for covariates and stratification factors will be performed for each time point.
Comparison of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) according to the NIH consensus criteria of Jagasia et al. at 1 and 2 years after allogeneic SCT between both armsAt 1 and 2 years after allogeneic SCTFor each time point, the frequency and percentage of cGVHD of each arm will be presented. To compare the difference between both arms, logistic regression adjusted for the stratification factors will be performed.
