Official title: CBA Versus FBA Conditioning Followed by Haploidentical Allogeneic HSCT in Treatment of High Risk and Refractory AML

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Aim: To evaluated if cladribine based conditioning (CBA) could decrease relapse after haploidentical allogeneic HSCT in high risk and refractory AML patients as compared with fludarabine based conditioning regimen(FBA). Study design: open-labed, prospective, multicenter, randomized control study Number of subjects: 60 each group Treatment: CBA group: CBA as HSCT conditioning which including cladribine 5mg/m2 day -6 to day -2 , busulfan(iv) 3.2mg/kg day-6 to day -3 and cytarabine 2g/m2 day-6 to day -2. FBA group: FBA as HSCT conditioning which including fludarabine 30mg/m2 day -6 to day -2, busulfan(iv) 3.2mg/kg day-6 to day -3 and cytarabine 2g/m2 day-6 to day -2.

Clinical Trial Description

Relapse is still the main reason of death for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), especially for those with high risk and refractory disease. Cladribine and fludarabine are both purine analogs used in treatment of AML. Two studies by the Polish Adult Leukemia Group (PALG) demonstrated that the addition of cladribine to DA (DAC) was associated with an increased complete remission (CR) rate and prolonged overall survival (OS) in the general AML population, with the most prominent effect in patients with unfavorable cytogenetics. Therefore we presume cladribine may more effective in eliminating leukemic cells so that reduce relapse after HSCT. Haploidentical HSCT was the main option for those without HLA matched donors and the number of haploidentical transplants has covered over fifty percent of all allogeneic transplants in China. We designed this study to evaluated if cladribine based conditioning (CBA) could decrease relapse after haploidentical HSCT in high risk and refractory AML patients as compared with fludarabine based conditioning regimen(FBA). Eligible patients in this study should between 18 to 60 years old with confirmed AML and fulfilled at least one criteria defining high risk or refractory disease.Patients have no HLA matched sibling or unrelated donors but have haploidentical donor. Patients will be excluded if they present any contraindication for HSCT, including respiratory failure, heart failure, liver or kidney function failure et al. To evaluate if CBA could decrease relapse after haploidentical HSCT in high risk and refractory AML patients as compared with FBA, 120 eligible patients will be randomized to two groups, the CBA group and the FBA group. Patients in the CBA group receive conditioning including cladribine 5mg/m2 day -6 to day -2 , busulfan(iv) 3.2mg/kg day-6 to day -3 and cytarabine 2g/m2 day-6 to day -2. While patients in the FBA group receive conditioning including fludarabine 30mg/m2 day -6 to day -2 , busulfan(iv) 3.2mg/kg day-6 to day-3 and cytarabine 2g/m2 day-6 to day -2. Graft versus host disease(GVHD) prophylactic regimen include ATG 2.5mg/kg d-4 to d-1, cyclosporine A and short term MTX. Patients will be followed up for 2 years and the primary end point is the cumulative relapse rate at 2 years. The second end points of the study include the overall survival, disease free survival and non-relapse mortality at 2 years. ;
