Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation In Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Using A Myeloablative Preparative Regimen

Phase 2

Completed

Conditions: Hematologic Malignancies
Disorder Related to Transplantation
Hematopoietic Malignancy

Interventions: Drug: Preparative Regimen

Registration Number: NCT01328496

Lead Sponsor: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Brief Summary: In this study, participants with high-risk hematologic malignancies undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), who do not have a suitable human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related/sibling donor (MSD), matched unrelated donor (MURD) or killer-immunoglobulin receptors (KIR) ligand mismatched haploidentical donor identified, will receive an umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) using a myeloablative preparative regimen.

The preparative regimen includes fludarabine (75 mg/m2), fractionated total body irradiation (TBI) (10.0 Gy), and cyclophosphamide (120mg/kg) with mesna. Fludarabine will be given once a day at 25 mg/m2 for three days on day -10 to day -8, TBI will be given twice a day at 150 cGy for four days on day -7 to day -4, and cyclophosphamide will be given once a day for at 60mg/kg for two days on day -3 and day -2. Post-transplantation immunosuppression with cyclosporine and MMF will begin on day -3. Cord Blood infusion will occur on day 0 and G-CSF will start on day +1.

Detailed Description: The primary objectives is to estimate the event-free survival (EFS) at one-year post-transplant for research participants with high-risk hematologic malignancies undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using single unit umbilical cord blood (UCB).

Secondary objectives are:

* Describe the clinical outcome of patients undergoing a double unit UCBT.

* Estimate the incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) of patients enrolled in the research arm.

* Estimate the incidence and time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment among patients enrolled in the research arm.

* Estimate the incidence of transplant related mortality (TRM) and transplant related morbidity in the first 100 days after transplantation among patients enrolled in the research

Exploratory Objectives are:

* Assess the relationship between pre-transplant minimal residual disease (MRD) with transplant outcomes.

* Record immune reconstitution parameters, including chimerism analysis, quantitative lymphocyte subsets, T cell receptor excision circle (TREC) and spectratyping. Immunophenotyping and functional assays of T, B and NK cells and lymphocytes will also be evaluated.

* Evaluate the determinants of engraftment.

Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Research Arm	Preparative Regimen	Participant with high-risk hematologic malignancies undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation, who do not have a suitable Human Leukocyte Antigen -matched related/sibling donor, Matched Unrelated Donor or Killer immunoglobulin receptors ligand mismatched haploidentical donor identified, will receive a single UCB unit. Intervention: Preparative Regimen
Observation Arm	Preparative Regimen	Patients requiring two UCB units will be eligible for UCBT01 on the observational arm. Intervention: Preparative Regimen

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Event Free Survival (EFS) for Research Participants	1 year post-transplant	Estimate EFS for research participants at one-year post transplant by using single unit umbilical cord blood. The event is defined as relapse, graft failure, death due to any cause. The number of participants who did not experience any of those events (relapse, graft failure, death due to any cause) at year 1 post-transplant was given.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Observational Arm Participants Engrafted	1 year	For patients enrolled in the observational arm (undergoing a double unit UCBT), the number of patients engrafted was given.
Number of Observational Arm Patients Who Relapsed	1 year	The number of observational arm patients who relapsed was given.
Number of Deaths of Observational Arm Patients	1 year	The number of observational arm patients who died was given.
Number of Observational Arm Patients With Transplant-related Mortality (TRM)	First 100 days	The number of patients with TRM within the first 100 days post transplant was given.
Number of Participants With Acute GVHD	1 year	The number of participants with incidence of acute GVHD by grade was given. Participants are graded on a scale from 1 to 4, with 1 being mild and 4 being severe.
Number of Participants With Chronic GVHD	1 year	Due to the small sample size, cumulative incidence analysis was not done. The incidence of chronic GVHD was evaluated using NIH Consensus Global Severity Scoring. The number of patients with incidence of chronic GVHD by severity was provided.
Time to Engraftment of Research Arm Participants	first 100 days post transplant	Platelet engraftment was defined as platelet count ≥20,000/mm\^3 for 3 consecutive tests performed on different days with no platelet transfusions in the preceding 7 days. Neutrophil engraftment will be defined as achieving ANC ≥ 500/mm3 for 3 consecutive tests performed on different days with evidence of donor cell engraftment. Descriptive statistics are provided.
Incidence of Transplant-related Mortality (TRM)	first 100 days post transplant	TRM is death occurring in patients in continuous complete remission. The numbers of patients with TRM was given.
The Number of Participants With Transplant-related Morbidity	first 100 days post transplant	Any patient who had adverse events listed either as probable or definite in the first 100 days post-transplant are counted as transplant related morbidity. The number of patients with transplant-related morbidity was given.
