Efficacy of the antiCD38 Monoclonal Antibody Isatuximab in the Treatment of PCRA by Major ABO Mismatch After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
- Registration Number
- NCT05559827
- Lead Sponsor
- Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
- Brief Summary
A quarter of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are performed in a situation of major ABO mismatch exposing patients to the risk of immunological pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) after transplant. PCRA after transplant is defined as anemia with low reticulocytes count (under 10 G/L) after day 60 despite good leucocytes and platelet engraftment, full donor chimerism, associated with the persistence of recipients hemagglutinins (anti-A or anti-B antibodies). Bone marrow evaluation when performed show erythroid hypoplasia. Red blood cells transfusions are necessary every two weeks until remission leading to impaired quality of life (anemia, repeated hospitalization), iron overload, and need for iron chelation therapy. Treatments currently used are inefficient (anti CD20 monoclonal antibodies, EPO, steroids, plasma exchanges, proteasome inhibitors) or at risk of severe acute GVHD (donor lymphocytes infusion). PRCA has been demonstrated to be associated with the persistence of recipient's plasma cells.
Anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies which targets plasma cells secreting hemagglutinins responsible of PCRA are a promising treatment: 6 cases reported in the literature support a rapid and sustain efficacy but a prospective randomized evaluation of its efficacy and safety in this context is necessary.
The main objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of the treatment of PRCA by isatuximab after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant compared to supportive care only control group (reduction in PRCA resolution time in days)

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Isatuximab arm Isatuximab Isatuximab treatment at a dose of 10 mg/kg by intravenous route. The first injection of isatuximab will be performed at randomization (month 6 +/- 2 days). A second injection may be performed at day 15 if the reticulocytes \<10 G / L, and a third at day 29 if reticulocytes \<10 G / L. Patients will be assessed on day 1, day 15, day 29, day 45, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months after randomization.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method time interval between randomization (corresponding to the M6 post-transplant) and resolution of PRCA (date of resolution of reticulocytopenia) treated or not by the anti-CD 38 monoclonal antibody isatuximab 9 months post randomization
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Ferritin levels at month 15 post-transplant Spontaneous resolution of PRCA between day 60 and 6 months post-transplant at 6 months post-transplant Number of days of hospitalization up to 9 months post ranomization Number of days of chelation treatments up to 9 months post randomization Quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30- v3) at 15 months post-transplant Quality of life evaluated using questionnaire "European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire" (EORTC QLQ-C30- v3). The QLQ-C30 is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status / QoL scale, and six single items. Each of the multi-item scales includes a different set of items - no item occurs in more than one scale. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high scale score represents a higher response level. A high score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning. A high score for the global health status/ QoL represents a high QoL and a high score for a symptom scale/item represents a high level of symptomatology/problems.
Antibody level (anti A and/or anti B titers) at month 9 post-randomization Adverse events (CTC-AE grade ≥ 2) up to 13 months post transplant Number of red blood cell transfusions after randomization from randomization through study completion, an average of 9 months after randomization Number of days of transfusions support up to 9 months post randomization
