Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well giving an umbilical cord blood transplant together with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and total-body irradiation (TBI) works in treating patients with hematologic diseases. Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and thiotepa, and TBI before a donor cord blood transplant (CBT) helps stop the growth of ...

• Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL):

  • Complete first remission (CR1) at high risk for relapse such as any of the following:

    • Presence of any high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities such as t(9;22), t(1;19), t(4;11) or other MLL rearrangements (11q23) or other high-risk molecular abnormality.

  • Eligible patients with aggressive histology (such as, but not limited to, diffuse large B-cell NHL, mantle cell NHL, and T-cell histology) in CR by PET/CT imaging.
  • Eligible patients with indolent B-cell NHL (such as, but not limited to, follicular, small cell or marginal zone NHL) will have 2nd or subsequent progression with PR or CR by PET/CT imaging.

• Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) in morphologic remission.

• Only for adult patients, to prevent graft rejection, patients who received only non-lymphodepleting agents for their malignancy (hypomethylating agents, venetoclax, hydroxyurea, TKIs etc.), or patients who received lymphodepleting chemotherapy > 3 months prior to scheduled admission, may receive fludarabine 25 mg/m^2 daily x 3 days for lymphodepletion 14-42 days (aiming for 2-4 weeks) at the discretion of the principal investigator (PI).

• For patients > 18 years old, Karnofsky score ≥ 70%. For patients =< 18 years old, Lansky score ≥ 50%.

• Calculated creatinine clearance > 70 ml/min.

• Bilirubin < 1.5 mg/dL (unless benign congenital hyperbilirubinemia or hemolysis).

• Alanine transaminase (ALT) < 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN).

• For patients > 18 years old, pulmonary function (spirometry and corrected diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide [DLCO]) > 60% predicted. For patients =< 18 years old, or any patient unable to perform pulmonary function tests, O2 saturation > 92% on room air.

• Left ventricular ejection fraction > 50%.

• Albumin > 3.0 g/dL.

• For patients > 18 years old, Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity index (HCT-CI) =< 5.

• UCB units will be selected according to current umbilical cord blood graft selection algorithm. One or two UCB units may be used to achieve the required cell dose.

• The UCB graft is matched at 4-6 HLA-A, B, DRB1 antigens with the recipient. This may include 0-2 antigen mismatches at the A or B or DRB1 loci. Unit selection based on cryopreserved nucleated cell dose and HLA-A, B, DRB1 using intermediate resolution A, B antigen and DRB1 allele typing.
