Filter by:Patients less than or equal to 21 years old with high-risk hematologic malignancies who would likely benefit from allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Patients with a suitable HLA matched sibling or unrelated donor identified will be eligible for participation ONLY if the donor is not available in the necessary time. The purpose of the study is to learn more about the effects (good and bad) of transplanting blood cells donated by a family member, and that have been modified in a laboratory to remove the type of T cells known to cause graft-vs.-host disease, to children and young adults with a high risk cancer that is in remission but is at high risk of relapse. This study will give donor cells that have been TCRαβ-depleted. The TCR (T-cell receptor) is a molecule that is found only on T cells. These T-cell receptors are made up of two proteins that are linked together. About 95% of all T-cells have a TCR that is composed of an alpha protein linked to a beta protein, and these will be removed. This leaves only the T cells that have a TCR made up of a gamma protein linked to a delta protein. This donor cell infusion will be followed by an additional infusion of donor memory cells (CD45RA-depleted) after donor cell engraftment. This study will be testing the safety and effects of the chemotherapy and the donor blood cell infusions on the transplant recipient's disease and overall survival.
According to the French National Cancer Institute, 35 000 new hematologic cancers are observed in France representing 10% of the new cancers. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a cancer involving the bone marrow and blood cells, the median age at diagnosis is 53 years in the Western world. The prognosis is worse than many other cancers with net survival at 5 years of 26%. Since the approval of imatinib, additional tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been approved by the European Medicine Agency, including the second-generation TKIs nilotinib, dasatinib, and bosutinib and the third-generation TKI ponatinib. Despite their effect on the evolution of CML, there is increasing of cardiovascular toxicities which can impact patient morbidity and mortality. The majority of the cardiovascular toxicities are associated with the second- and third-generation TKIs. Nilotinib and ponatinib cardiovascular toxicity including arterial and venous thromboembolism has decrease the benefit/risk ratio, 10% of patients treated with nilotinib 300 mg twice daily and 15.9% treated with 400 mg twice daily experienced a vascular complication including myocardial infarction /ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular accidents, or peripheral arterial disease. Regarding ponatinib, serious arterial occlusive adverse reactions occurred in 19% of patients. In an attempt to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events MACE due to nilotinib and ponatinib, currently, then approach is driven by usual clinical practice without any robust published evidence. The investigators aim to perform a national clinical trial, multicenter, prospective, randomized, with two parallel comparative arms: experimental group with cardiovascular active prevention vs non active cardiovascular active prevention based on usual clinical practice. Our hypothesis is that active prevention of cardiovascular toxicities with optimal medical treatment improves the benefit-risk ratio in CML patients. The primary objective is Event Free Survival (EFS) at month 24.
