Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well giving fludarabine phosphate and melphalan together with total-body irradiation followed by donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic cancer or bone marrow failure disorders. Giving low doses of chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells or abnormal cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer or abnormal cells (graft-versus-tumor effect)

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the transplant related mortality (TRM) of this reduced intensity transplantation (RIT) combination in a patient population that is usually not eligible for a full myeloablative allogeneic transplant.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate engraftment, safety, clinical response, evidence of graft-versus-malignancy effect/graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and overall outcomes of treatment with our RIT regimen across a variety of hematological conditions.

OUTLINE: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days -5 to -2 and melphalan* IV over 30 minutes on day -2. Patients then undergo total-body irradiation on day -1 and allogeneic stem cell transplantation on day 0.

Note: *Patients with chromosomal breakage syndromes, such as Fanconi anemia or dyskeratosis congenita, receive anti-thymocyte globulin IV over 4 hours on day -4 to -2 instead of melphalan.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

• Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)- high or standard risk ALL

• Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML):

• Chronic phase (intolerant or unresponsive to imatinib and/or other tyrosine kinase inhibitors), second chronic phase or accelerated phase who are ineligible for conventional myeloablative transplantation

• Myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS):

• Myelofibrosis (with/without splenectomy) with intermediate to high risk features

• Advanced polycythemia vera not responding to standard therapy

• MDS with an international prostate symptom score (IPSS) score of Int-2 or higher

• MDS with lower IPSS scores Int-1 or less with severe clinical features such as severe neutropenia or thrombocytopenia or high risk chromosome abnormalities such as monosomy 7

• Secondary massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS) with any IPSS scores

• Chronic myelomoncytic leukemia

• Failed prior autotransplant

• Age >= 3 and =< 75 years for blood and bone marrow transplants and age >= 3, < 60 for cord blood transplants

• No serious uncontrolled psychiatric illness

• No concomitant active malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer

• Non-pregnant and non-nursing women (women or men with reproductive potential should agree to use an effective means of birth control)

• Patients may have received prior autologous bone marrow transplant (BMT) or prior myeloablative allogeneic BMT (at least 60 days have elapsed)

• At least 2 weeks since prior chemotherapy, radiation treatment and/or surgery

• Informed consent

• DONOR: Permissible HLA matching: Related donors- single antigen mismatch at HLA A, B or DRB 1; unrelated donors- a single antigen mismatch at HLA A, B, or C, +/- additional single allele level mismatch at A, B, C or DRB1; cord blood >= 4 out of 6 antigen match at HLA A, B, DRB1)

• DONOR: Compatibility at the four most informative HLA loci: A, B, C and DRB1 are important for reducing the risk of GVHD and successful transplant outcomes; the A, B, C and DRB1 loci comprise 8 possible alleles (a haplotype being inherited from each parent); one additional locus, HLA-DQ, is also typed to ascertain haplotypes and assist in the search for a compatible donor; however mismatching at DQ has not been shown to be associated with adverse outcomes; high resolution molecular typing (at the allele level) is now the standard of care for unrelated donor searches and allows greater refinement of the search strategy

• DONOR: Matched related donor: a single antigen mismatch at A, B, or the DR transplant from a family member is associated with a higher risk of GVHD but similar overall survival when compared to full identity at these 3 regions; related donor/recipient pairs must be matched at 5 of 6 HLA antigens (A, B, DRBl)

• DONOR: Unrelated donor: when evaluating patients for unrelated donor transplant, a higher degree of matching is preferred due to minimize the risk of GVHD; the A, B, C, DRB1 and DQ loci, comprising 10 possible alleles, will be typed routinely for all unrelated transplants; given the higher risk of TRM in mismatched transplants, RIT is often the best way to mitigate the risk; evolving data from the National Marrow Donor Program now makes it possible to estimate the risks of donor-recipient HLA mismatch at the allele or antigen level; the higher risk from HLA-mismatching must be carefully assessed with respect to the clinical urgency and the patient's risk by the transplant physician; antigen level mismatches at DQ are inconsequential to transplant outcomes and are ignored with respect to donor selection for the purposes of this protocol, with matching requirements confined to the 8 loci involving HLA A, B, C and DRB1; for the purpose of this protocol, a single antigen mismatch at HLA A, B, or C, with or without additional single allele level mismatch may participate in this protocol for voluntary unrelated donors (blood or marrow); patients must be at least antigen-level matched at DRB1

• DONOR: If a patient has no suitable family donor matched for 5 of 6 HLA antigens (A, B, DRB1) and no suitable unrelated donor is identified or for reasons of urgency, the patient can be considered a candidate for cord blood transplant, provided a cord blood donor is identified with a >= 4 out of 6 antigen match at HLA A, B, DRB1 antigens; the cord blood product must provide a minimum of 2 x 10^7 nucleated cells/kg, test negative for HIV and Hepatitis A, Band C, and sterility assays have no growth; the cord blood products are located through the National Marrow Donor Program, the American Registry, or the Bone Marrow Donor Worldwide or other established registries, and may be stored in the N.Y Placental Cord Blood Bank, the St. Louis Cord Blood Bank, or any of the established, registered International blood and marrow banks

• DONOR: Donor must be healthy and have nonreactive test results for all infectious disease assays as required by state and federal regulations; donors who screen seropositive for hepatitis and/or syphilis must be cleared by infectious disease consultation

• DONOR: The donor must have no uncontrolled cardiopulmonary, renal, endocrine, hepatic or psychiatric disease to render donation unsafe

• DONOR: The donor must be able to give informed consent for peripheral blood stem cell collection or bone marrow collection

• DONOR: Syngeneic donors are not eligible

• DONOR: Donors who have poor peripheral venous access, may require central venous line placement for stem cell apheresis
