Naive T Cell Deplete Grafts for GVHD Prevention in Non-Malignant Diseases

Brief summary

This phase II trial investigates how well a naive T cell depleted graft work for the reduction of graft versus host disease in patients with non-malignant diseases requiring hematopoietic cell transplantation. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells.

Detailed description

OUTLINE: Patients will receive CD34+ enriched CD45RA-depleted donor T-lymphocytes IV on day 0. For conditioning, patients receive cyclophosphamide by IV on day -8, fludarabine by IV on day -7 to day -3, thiotepa IV on day -7 and day -6, and undergo total-body irradiation (TBI) for 2 doses on day -2 and day -1. GVHD Prophylaxis: All patients also receive tacrolimus IV continuously starting on day -1, and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) starting day 0 through day 35. If there is no evidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD on or prior to day 100, tacrolimus is tapered. All patients also undergo bone marrow aspiration/biopsy and collection of blood samples throughout the trial. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at days 7, 14, 21, 28, 56, 80, 180, and 270 and at 1, 1.5, and 2 years.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
GVHD-free Survival1 year post-transplantFree of grade III-IV acute and NIH chronic (moderate-severe) GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppression

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survival1 year post-transplant
Transplant related mortalityDay 100 post-transplant and 1 year post-transplant
Graft failureDay 42 post-transplantGraft failure defined as failure to achieve an ANC ≥ 0.5 × 109/L before death or second HCT, or decrease to ANC \<0.1 × 109/L for 14 consecutive days (date of graft failure defined as the 14th day) after an established donor graft despite daily administration of G-CSF (SC or IV) and ≤ average 20% bone marrow cellularity on bone marrow aspirate or biopsy any time in the first 2 years following HCT. If a patient dies from organ toxicity and/or infection prior to day 28 without ANC ≥ 0.5 × 109/L this will not be considered graft failure. If the graft failure is attributed to viral infection, multi-organ failure or drug effect it will still be considered graft failure if it meets the definition of graft failure specified above.
Graft rejectionDay 100 post-transplantGraft rejection defined as \<5% donor CD3 T cell and CD33 myeloid chimerism
Incidence of chronic GVHDAt 1 year and 2 years post transplantDefined and graded based on NIH criteria and graded operationally as the occurrence of compatible symptoms
Prednisone for GVHDEvery 3 months post-transplant for the first 2 yearsNumber of participants alive and off prednisone (or equivalent systemic corticosteroid) for the treatment of GVHD
Incidence of opportunistic infections requiring treatmentFirst year post-transplantProportion of participants who experience viral infections/reactivations. * of participants with \>/= grade 1-3 viral infections * of participants with CMV grade 2-3 * of participants with EBV grade 2-3 * of participants with ADV, HHV-6 or BK \>/= grade 2 * of participants with definite (confirmed organism) viral respiratory tract infection requiring hospital admission for \>/= 7 days or causing death between day 90 and day 365 post-transplant
Peripheral blood donor chimerism2 years post-transplantFull donor chimerism will be defined as CD33 and CD3 ≥95%. Mixed chimerism will be defined as CD33 OR CD3 \<95% but \>5%. Actual chimerism values will be reported and summarized as well as dichotomized according to the 'full chimerism' and 'mixed chimerism' labels
