Study 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.

Read the 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.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

GVHD (graft-versus-host disease)

After a transplant from a donor, the donor’s immune cells attack the recipient’s body, often the skin, gut or liver.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. GVHD-free Survival

    Free of grade III-IV acute and NIH chronic (moderate-severe) GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppression

    Time frame: 1 year post-transplant

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall survival

    Time frame: 1 year post-transplant

  2. Transplant related mortality

    Time frame: Day 100 post-transplant and 1 year post-transplant

  3. Graft failure

    Graft 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.

    Time frame: Day 42 post-transplant

  4. Graft rejection

    Graft rejection defined as \<5% donor CD3 T cell and CD33 myeloid chimerism
