ABBA CORD: dCBT w/ Abatacept for aGVHD Prophylaxis

Registration Number
NCT06680661
Lead Sponsor
Leland Metheny
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to see if adding abatacept to tacrolimus and MMF prevents or reduces the chances of acute graft versus host disease which is a complication that can occur after transplant in participants with blood cancer. The usual therapy for graft versus host disease prevention after a cord blood transplant includes tacrolimus and MMF. ...

Detailed Description

Cord blood (CB) is a valuable alternative graft source for patients with hematologic malignancies in need of allogeneic transplantation who lack human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched adult donors. In Black, Asian, Hispanic populations, the chance of finding a HLA matched donor is 23%, 41%, and 46%, respectively. CB allows for greater HLA difference between d...

Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients with inadequate Organ Function as defined by:

    • Creatinine clearance < 50ml/min
    • Bilirubin > 2X institutional upper limit of normal unless Gilbert syndrome
    • AST (SGOT) > 3X institutional upper limit of normal
    • ALT (SGPT) > 3X institutional upper limit of normal

    • Cardiac: left ventricular ejection fraction < 50
  • Patients with uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study because chemotherapy involved with RIC have the significant potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.

  • Any condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of study drug and attending required study visits; pose a significant risk to the subject; or interfere with interpretation of study data.

  • Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to any of the study medications, excipients, or similar compounds.

  • Presence of donor-specific antibodies against chosen graft source.

  • Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity index (HCT-CI) > 5.

  • Prior autologous stem cell transplant within the preceding 12 months or prior allogeneic transplant.
