Cyclophosphamide, Fludarabine and Antithymocyte Globulin Conditioning in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

Conditions
Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Registration Number
NCT01255319
Lead Sponsor
Cooperative Study Group A for Hematology
Brief Summary

To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the conditioning regimen with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and antithymocyte globulin (CyFluATG) for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with lower risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Detailed Description

Conditioning therapy

* Cytoxan 50 mg/kg/d on d-3 to -2

* Fludarabine 30 mg/m2 on d-6 to -2

* Antithymocyte globulin (ATG; Thymoglobulin®) 1.5 mg/kg/d (for HLA-matched sibling donor HCT) or 3.0 mg/kg/d (for other alternative donor HCT)

* Methylpd 2 mg/kg/d on d-4 to -1

Mobilization and harvest

* G-CSF 10 mcg/kg/d s.c. on d-3 to 0

* Harvest of PBMCs on d 0 to +1

Donor G PBMC infusion

* Infuse G-PBMCs on d 0 to d+1.

GVHD prophylaxis

* Cyclosporine 1.5 mg/kg i.v. q 12 hrs beginning on d-1 and changed to oral dosing (with twice the i.v. dose) when oral intake is possible. Tapered beginning between d+30 and d+60.

* Methotrexate 15 mg/m2 i.v. on d+2, and 10 mg/m2 i.v. on d+4 and d+7

Preemptive dose-escalating DLIs

* Begin at d+120 or at least 2 wks after IST discontinuation.

* Failure to achieve full donor chimerism No evidence of GVHD

* CD3+ cell dose increment q 4 wks -+ cell dose: HLA-matched donor HCT (1 x 107/kg, 5 x 107/kg, 1 x 108/kg), HLA-matched unrelated donor HCT (1 x 106/kg, 5 x 106/kg, 1 x 107/kg), HLA-matched familial donor HCT (1 x 105/kg, 5 x 105/kg, 1 x 106/kg)

Primary Outcome Measures

feasibility and efficacy4years

To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the conditioning regimen with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and antithymocyte globulin (CyFluATG) for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with lower risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The efficacy of the treatment will be measured in terms of engraftment and non-relapse mortality (the primary endpoints)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
progression-free survival, and overall survival4 years

This study will also evaluate donor chimerism, secondary graft failure, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), immune recovery, infections, progression-free survival, and overall survival.
