简要总结
Background:
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant involves taking blood stem cells from a donor and giving them to a recipient. The transplants are used to treat certain diseases and cancers. Researchers want to see if the transplant can treat VEXAS Syndrome.
Objective:
To see if stem cell transplants can be successfully performed in people with VEXAS and even improve the disease.
Eligibility:
People ages 18-75 who have VEXAS Syndrome that has caused significant health problems and standard treatment either has not worked or is not available.
Design:
Participants will be screened with:
Physical exam
Medical review
Blood and urine tests
Heart and lung function tests
Bone marrow biopsy
Participants will have a chest x-ray. They will have an imaging scan of the head, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and sinus. They will have a bone density scan. They will have a dental exam and eye exam. They will meet with specialists. They will repeat some screening tests.
Participants will be admitted to the NIH hospital. They have a central venous catheter put into a vein in the chest or neck. They will receive drugs to prepare their bone marrow for the transplant. They may have total body irradiation. They will receive the donor stem cells through the catheter. They will get other drugs to prevent complications and infections. After discharge, they must stay in the DC area for 3 months for weekly study visits.
Participants will have study visits 30, 60, 100, 180, 210, 240, 300, and 360 days later. After that, they will have yearly visits for 2 years and then be contacted yearly by phone....
详细描述
Background:
- In 2019, investigators at the National Institutes of Health defined a new disease syndrome named VEXAS: Vacuoles in bone marrow cells, E1 enzyme mutations, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by inflammatory and hematologic features and is frequently accompanied by marrow dysplasia, progressive bone marrow failure, and in some cases, the development of overt myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or other myeloid neoplasms. Somatic mutations are present at methionine 41 in UBA1, an X-linked gene encoding the major E1 ubiquitin activating enzyme that initiates the majority of cellular ubiquitylation.
- The inflammatory features of VEXAS include fever, pulmonary infiltrates, skin lesions, ear and nose chondritis, musculoskeletal involvement, and elevated inflammatory markers. The hematologic features include cytopenia, characteristic vacuoles in myeloid and erythroid precursors cells, and dysplastic bone marrow. Patients included in the initial description of the syndrome fulfill clinical or classification criteria for both inflammatory diseases (relapsing polychondritis, Sweet syndrome, polyarteritis nodosa, giant cell arteritis) and hematologic conditions (MDS, myeloid neoplasms or plasma cell dyscrasia). The inflammatory features of VEXAS are refractory to treatment other than high doses of glucocorticoids. Increased mortality and frequent morbidity are common in VEXAS secondary to the disease and treatment-related complications. The clinical manifestations of VEXAS are time-dependent. Systemic inflammation typically precedes progressive bone marrow failure with or without the development of hematologic malignancies leading to death. Escalating doses of glucocorticoids are typically administered to control the refractory, progressive features of systemic inflammation. Worsening cytopenias often require transfusion support.
- The discovery of hematologic mosaicism as the genetic driver of rheumatologic/hematologic syndromes defines a novel class of diseases, termed hematoinflammatory diseases (HINDS), and it raises the possibility that therapies aimed at eradicating these clones may be efficacious in this patient population.
Objectives:
Primary Objectives:
- To determine whether allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) results in sustained donor engraftment at day 100 and one-year post-HSCT.
- To determine whether allogeneic HSCT results in reversal of the clinical phenotype of VEXAS at one year and two years post-HSCT without requiring interval prednisone at >= 0.5 mg/kg per day for reasons other than graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

入选标准
- •INCLUSION CRITERIA:

- •Karnofsky performance status of >= 40%
- •Adequate end-organ function, defined as follow:
- •Left ventricular ejection fraction > 35%, preferably by 2-D echocardiogram (ECHO) obtained within 60 days prior to treatment initiation.
- •Creatinine <= 2.0 mg/dl and creatinine clearance >= 30 ml/min;

- •Pulmonary function tests: FEV1 and DLCO >30%
- •Ability of subject to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- •As therapeutic agents used in this trial may be harmful to a fetus, individuals of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) at the study entry and for at least one-year post-allo HCT. Should an individual become pregnant or suspect they are pregnant while she or her partner is participating in the study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
- •Willingness to remain in the NIH hospital or, if discharged, live within 2 hours drive from the NIH, for a minimum of 100 days after transplant or longer, if there are complications. If outpatient in the first 100 days after transplant, participant must commit to having an adult caregiver with them at all times.
- •Disease related
- •Somatic mutation in UBA1 performed by a CLIA or CAP certified laboratory. NOTE: Participants without a mutation or unknown mutation status may be eligible if they have a clinical history that is characteristic of an individual with VEXAS syndrome including two or more of a-e below.
- •Inflammatory clinical phenotype for VEXAS syndrome with at least one VEXAS disease manifestation below:
- •constitutional symptoms including fevers, fatigue, and weight loss
- •cutaneous symptoms of VEXAS including biopsy proven neutrophilic dermatosis, cutaneous vasculitis, periorbital inflammation
- •pulmonary symptoms of VEXAS with pulmonary infiltrates, pleural effusion
- •musculoskeletal or cartilaginous involvement including inflammatory arthritis, ear chondritis, and nasal chondritis
- •inflammatory disease in other major organ systems including cardiac, gastrointestinal, ocular, etc.
- •Presence of cytopenia defined as at least one of the following:
- •i. Absolute neutrophil count <=1000/ microliter
- •ii. platelet count <= 75,000/microliter or platelet transfusion dependence (at least 4 platelet transfusions in the 8 weeks prior to study entry
- •iii. hemoglobin <= 10.0g/dL or red cell transfusion-dependence (at least 4 units of PRBCs in the 8 weeks prior to treatment initiation) or meeting criteria for myeloid neoplasm (MN) by updated 2022 WHO criteria or 2022 International Consensus Classification (ICC) of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemia

排除标准
- •HCT Comorbidity Index >=
- •Note: Comorbidities that are specifically addressed in the inclusion criteria will not be included in the calculation of HCT-CI score.
- •Participants with multiple myeloma. Note: participants with low risk smoldering multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance will not be excluded)
- •Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents within the last 30 days before treatment initiation.
- •HIV-positive patients are ineligible because these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy.
- •History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to agents (steroids, cyclophosphamide, busulfan, tacrolimus, MMF, filgrastim or filgrastim biosimilar) used in the study.
- •Pregnant individuals are excluded from this study because the study agents have the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with the study agents, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with the study agents.
- •Uncontrolled intercurrent illness or social situations (as determined by a licensed master social worker) that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- •Presence of active uncontrolled infections that in the opinion of the PI would make it unsafe to proceed with transplantation.
- •Active psychiatric disorder which is deemed by the PI to have significant risk of compromising compliance with the transplant protocol.
