Use of Haploidentical Related Donors for Patients Without Matched Sibling, Unrelated Donor or Cord Blood Units
- Conditions
- Hematologic Neoplasms
- Interventions
- Procedure: T-Cell replete haplo-transplant
- Registration Number
- NCT02504047
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Calgary
- Brief Summary
The administration of high-dose chemotherapy followed by the infusion of blood or bone marrow stem cells (stem cell transplantation) from a matched donor has become standard treatment for patients with high-risk or relapsed hematological cancers. Currently, donors are found for approximately 80% of people who require such treatment, although the chance of finding a donor is much lower in some ethnic communities. In the current study the investigators will offer patients requiring transplantation, but for whom well matched donors cannot be identified either from within the family or on the donor registry, a transplant from a half-matched (haploidentical) family member. A myeloablative conditioning regimen and un-manipulated peripheral blood stem cells will be used. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil will be used to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD). The primary outcome measure will be 6 month survival free from graft failure, relapse and grade 3-4 acute GVHD. Other outcomes of interest will include the frequency of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) or Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) requiring treatment, overall survival and progression-free survival.

- Target Recruitment
- 40
- A hematological malignancy such as acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome requiring hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
- A haploidentical family member willing to donate.
- Suitable performance status, organ function (as defined locally) and disease status for transplantation.
- Patients with acute leukemia must be in morphological complete remission. Patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia must be in chronic phase and those with lymphoma must have chemosensitive disease (at least partial remission to most recent chemotherapy regimen).
- Given written, informed consent to participate in a clinical trial.
- An 8/8 matched sibling donor or matched unrelated donor (based on high-resolution typing as appropriate), available within a time frame acceptable to the treating physician
- Patients with an available single allele or single antigen mismatched donor (7/8 or 9/10) or available cord blood donor can be included at the discretion of the treating team, according to local institutional practice.
- Prior allogeneic transplant
- Any exclusion criteria for allogeneic stem cell transplant, as defined by the program. Examples typically include pregnancy, significant comorbidity, and active uncontrolled infection.
