- Subjects 12-17 years of age are required to have MDS with chromosomal abnormalities in addition to mutation in the GATA2 gene for enrollment on this protocol.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction > 50%, preferably by 2-D echo, or by MUGA, or shortening fraction > 28% by ECHO, obtained within 28 days of enrollment.
- Pulmonary Function Tests: Adult patients: DLCO diffusion capacity and FEV1 greater than 10% of expected value obtained within 28 days of enrollment. Pediatric patients: DLCO corrected for hemoglobin and alveolar volume greater than or equal to 20% of predicted.
- Creatinine: Adult patients: less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dl and creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 30 ml/min; Pediatric patients: age-adjusted normal serum creatinine OR a creatinine clearance > 60 mL/min/1.73m(2).
- Serum total bilirubin less than 2.5 mg/dl; ALT and AST less than or equal to 5 times upper limit of normal .
- Adequate central venous access potential.
- Written informed consent/assent obtained from patient/parent or legal guardian.
- Life expectancy of at least 3 months but less than 24 months.
- Disease status: Patients are to be referred in remission for evaluation. Should a patient have progressive disease or a donor not be available after enrollment, the patient will be referred back to their primary hematologist-oncologist for treatment. If this course of action is not in the best interest of the patient according to the clinical judgment of the PI/LAI, then the patient may receive standard treatment for the malignant disease under the current study. If under either of these settings, it becomes apparent that the patient will not be able to proceed to transplant, then he/she must come off study. Recipient-Subjects receiving a standard therapy will be told about the therapy, associated risks, benefits alternatives of the proposed therapy, and availability of receiving the same treatment elsewhere, outside of a research protocol.
- Related donor matched at HLA-A, B, C, DR, and DQ loci by high resolution typing (10/10 antigen/allele match) are acceptable donors.
- Matched related donors for pediatric recipients must be 18 years of age or older. If more than one matched related donor is available, we will select the oldest donor to further decrease the risk of potential disease transmission.
- Ability to give informed consent.
- Age 18-60 years.
- No history of life-threatening opportunistic infection.
- Adequate venous access for peripheral apheresis, or consent to use a temporary central venous catheter for apheresis.
- Donors must be HIV negative, hepatitis B surface antigen negative, and hepatitis C antibody negative. This is to prevent the possible transmission of these infections to the recipient.
- A donor who is lactating must be willing and able to interrupt breast-feeding or substitute formula feeding for her infant during the period of filgrastim administration and for two days following the final dose. Filgrastim may be secreted in human milk, although its bioavailability from this source is not known. Limited clinical data suggest that short-term administration of filgrastim or sargramostim to neonates is not associated with adverse outcomes.
- Unrelated donor matched at 10/10 or 9/10 HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, and DQB1 loci by high resolution typing.
- Matched unrelated donors for pediatric recipients must be 18 years of age or older.
- The evaluation of donors shall be in accordance with existing NMDP Standard Policies and Procedures. General donor inclusion criteria specified in the NMDP Standard.
- A haploidentical donor that shares one haplotype in common with the recipient such that HLA compatibility will be a minimum of 5 out of 10 HLA loci matched. The HLA loci to be tested will be HLA A, B, Cw, DRB1, and DQB1. A minimum number of mismatches is desirable; however if several options are available the selection of a donor will be based on the loci where the mismatch occurs and the relative importance of its potential immunological function. Donor-recipient pairs will initially be typed molecularly to provide a low resolution typing (antigen-level) to aid in the selection of the potential donor. Upon review of the familial inheritance pattern, a qualified HLA staff member will review haplotype inheritance. High resolution (allele-level) typing will be performed. Final selection of a donor will be in consultation with NCI physicians and qualified HLA personnel. Haploidentical related donors for pediatric recipients must be 15 years of age or older. If more than one haploidentical related donor is available, we will evaluate each donor individually according to overall health, ABO matching, cytomegalovirus (CMV), etc. to select the donor
- Age 15-60 years
- No history of life-threatening opportunistic infection
- Adequate venous access for peripheral apheresis, or consent to use a temporary central venous catheter for apheresis.
- Donors must be HIV negative, hepatitis B surface antigen negative, and hepatitis C antibody negative. This is to prevent the possible transmission of these infections to the recipient.
- Haploidentical donors will undergo marrow harvest with general anesthesia. Subjects will undergo anesthesia consultation, and meet criteria for eligibility/enrollment. CD34+ fraction will be determined.
- Subjects will also undergo the Donor Health History Screen to determine donor eligibility using standard DTM criteria in the Dowling Apheresis Clinic by skilled staff in the Blood Services Section for adult patients and age-appropriate questioning when indicated for pediatric subjects.
- Subjects will undergo follow-up history and physical examination within 1 week of donation.
Who cannot join
- HIV infection.
- Chronic active hepatitis B. Patient may be hepatitis B core antibody positive. For patients with a concomitant positive hepatitis B surface antigen, patients will require a hepatology consultation. The risk-benefit profile of transplant and hepatitis B will be discussed with the patient, and eligibility determined by the PI and the protocol chairperson.
- History of psychiatric disorder which may compromise compliance with transplant protocol, or which does not allow for appropriate informed consent.
- Active infection that is not responding to antimicrobial therapy.
- Active CNS involvement by malignancy (patients with known positive CSF cytology or parenchymal lesions visible by CT or MRI.

About this study
Official title: Pilot and Feasibility Study of Reduced-Intensity Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for Patients With GATA2 Mutations
Background:
- Stem cells are immature blood cells that grow in the bone marrow and produce all of the cells needed for normal blood and immunity. Stem cells can be taken from one person (donor) and given to another person (recipient) through allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Donor stem cells can then replace the recipients stem cells in the bone marrow, restoring normal blood production and immunity. Most allogeneic transplants now use stem cells collected from the donors blood in a process called peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
- Monocytopenia and mycobacterial infection (MonoMAC) is an immunodeficiency disease that is characterized by a lack of monocytes, a type of white blood cell, and an increased risk of developing mycobacteria infections that may cause tuberculosis.
- Allogeneic stem cell transplantation has been used successfully to treat many kinds of immune diseases and cancers that develop in blood or immune system cells. Researchers have been studying a particular kind of stem cell transplantation that uses lower than usual doses of chemotherapy and particular combinations of drugs to improve the results of the procedure for patients with blood-related cancers and pre-cancerous conditions.

Objectives:
- To determine the safety and efficacy of reduced-intensity hematopoietic stem cell transplants (a particular stem cell transplantation procedure) for treating MonoMAC.
Eligibility:
- Patients 18-60 years of age who have MonoMAC and who have been matched with a suitable stem cell donor.
Design:
- Donors and recipients will undergo separate procedures as part of this protocol.
- Donors:
- National Institutes of Health researchers will take the donor s medical history, perform a physical exam, take blood samples, and explain the procedure. Tests will be performed to check the donors heart, lung, kidney, and liver function.
- Donors will receive injections of a drug called filgrastim (G-CSF), which causes stem cells to travel from bone marrow into blood. The G-CSF shots will be given for 5 to 7 days before the collection procedure.
- Donors will undergo apheresis to collect white blood cells and stem cells directly from the blood, which can be done as an outpatient procedure. Researchers may consider the alternative of directly collecting bone marrow from the donor, which will require an overnight hospital stay.
- Recipients:
- Recipients will receive 3 days of pre-transplant chemotherapy and radiation therapy to prepare for the transplant. For 4 days before the transplant, recipients will receive the chemotherapy drug fludarabine, followed by a single dose of radiation therapy, and will also receive the drugs tacrolimus and sirolimus to prevent the donor cells from attacking the recipient s normal tissues.
- Recipients will then receive the transplant of donor stem cells and will continue to receive tacrolimus and sirolimus for 3 months after the transplant to prevent the donor cells from attacking the recipient s normal tissues. Recipients will be discharged from the hospital once their condition is stable.
- Recipients will visit the NCI clinic regularly for the first 5 months after the transplant, and then less often for at least 5 years. Recipients may receive additional donor immune cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant if the study doctors believe they are needed.
Read the detailed description
BACKGROUND:
Mutations in GATA binding protein 2 (GATA2) lead to an immunodeficiency disease that transforms into myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). This syndrome, previously known as MonoMAC, has 4 clinical features: 1) infections with Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC) and other opportunistic infections as a teenager or young adult, 2) a peripheral blood leukocyte flow cytometry profile with T-lymphocytes, but a severe deficiency of monocytes, B-lymphocytes, and Natural Killer (NK) cells, 3) the propensity to progress to MDS/AML, and 4) mutations in the gene GATA2. In this pilot study we propose to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a reduced intensity allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) regimen for patients with mutations in GATA2. We are particularly interested in determining whether allogeneic HSCT using this regimen reconstitutes normal hematopoiesis in patients with mutations in GATA2.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary Objective:
- To determine efficacy, namely whether reduced-intensity allogeneic HSCT results in engraftment and restores normal hematopoiesis by day +100 in patients with mutations in GATA2.
- To determine the safety of this HSCT regimen in patients with mutations in GATA2, including transplant related toxicity, the incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus host disease, immune reconstitution, overall survival, and disease-free survival
ELIGIBILITY:
Eligibility includes patients 12-60 years old with mutations in GATA2 who have a life expectancy of > 3 months but < 24 months, and who have a 10/10 matched related donor, a 10/10 or 9/10 matched unrelated donor (HLA -A, -B, -C, DRB1, DQB1 by high resolution typing identified through the National Marrow Donor Program), a 4/6 (or greater human leukocyte antigens (HLA -A), -B, DRB1) matched unrelated umbilical cord donor, or a haploidentical donor. Patients with GATA2 mutations who are 12-17 years of age are required to have MDS with chromosomal abnormalities to be eligible for this protocol.
DESIGN:
- Patients with mutations in GATA2 with a 10/10 matched related or 10/10 matched unrelated donor, will receive a reduced-intensity pre-transplant conditioning regimen consisting of fludarabine 30 mg/m(2)/day on days -4, -3, and -2, 200 centigray (cGy) total body irradiation (TBI) on day -1, and HSCT on day 0. Patients with mutations in GATA2 and a 9/10 matched unrelated donor will receive a reduced-intensity pre-transplant conditioning regimen consisting of fludarabine 30 mg/m(2)/day on days -4, -3, and -2, 300cGy total body irradiation (TBI) on day -1, and HSCT on day 0. Patients with mutations in GATA2 with umbilical cord blood units will receive a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen with cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg on day -6, fludarabine 40 mg/m(2) on days -6 to -2, equine anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) 30 mg/kg intravenous (IV) on days -6, -5 and -4, 200 cGy TBI on day -1, and HSCT on day 0. Patients with a haploidentical donor will receive a reduced intensity-conditioning regimen with cyclophosphamide 14.5 mg/kg on days -6 and -5, fludarabine 30 mg/m(2) on 4days -6 to -2, and 200 cGy TBI on day -1. Donor bone marrow cells will be infused on day 0.
- Post-transplant immunosuppression for graft-versus-host-disease prophylaxis will consist of sirolimus (Rapamycin) and tacrolimus until day +180, provided that there is no evidence of graft-versus-host disease. Post-transplant immunosuppression for graft versus-host-disease prophylaxis for recipients of haploidentical donors will consist of cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg on days +3 and +4, along with sirolimus from day +5 to day 180, and tacrolimus from day +5 to day 180, providing that there is no graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Days to Neutrophil Engraftment
Neutrophil engraftment is defined as a neutrophil count of >0.5 x 10(9) cells/L for 3 consecutive days.
Measured: 30 days
Days to Platelet Engraftment
Platelet engraftment is defined as a platelet count of >20 x 10(9) cells/L for 7 consecutive days without requiring a platelet transfusion.
Measured: 30 days
Secondary outcomes (5)
Percentage of Donor Cells at Last Follow Up in Patients With Mutations GATA Binding Protein 2 (GATA2)
Engraftment of donor cells was assessed using polymorphisms in regions known to contain short tandem repeats. Peripheral blood cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14+), cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3-)/cluster of differentiation 56 (CD56+), cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19+), and CD3+ subsets were isolated by flow cytometry and chimerism was assessed.
Measured: 2 years
Incidence of Acute and Chronic Graft-versus-host Disease (GVHD)
Acute GVHD is assessed according to the 1994 Consensus Conference Grading Criteria. Chronic GVHD is assessed by the 2005 Chronic GVHD Consensus Project. GVHD can affect performance status and attack multiple organ systems such as the skin, liver, gut, mouth, eyes, joints, lung, etc. that can lead to a rash, diarrhea, metabolic changes, infection and/or death. The clinical grading of acute GVHD is grade 0 (none) to 4 (severe). Chronic GVHD is a delayed form of GVHD that may occur after day 100 post transplant.
Measured: 2 years
Overall Survival
Overall survival is defined as date of on-study to date of death from any cause or last follow up.
Measured: 2 years
Number of Participants With Disease Free Survival
Number of participants with documented evidence of disease progression following start of treatment.
Measured: 2 years
Number of Participants With Serious and Non-serious Adverse Events
Here is the number of participants with serious and non-serious adverse events assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria in Adverse Events v3.0. A non-serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence. A serious adverse event is an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction that results in death, a life threatening adverse drug experience, hospitalization, disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect or important medical events that jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the previous outcomes mentioned.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Background:
- Stem cells are immature blood cells that grow in the bone marrow and produce all of the cells needed for normal blood and immunity. Stem cells can be taken from one person (donor) and given to another person (recipient) through allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Donor stem cells can then replace the recipients stem cells in the bone marrow, restoring normal blood production and immunity. Most allogeneic transplants now use stem cells collected from the donors blood in a process called peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
- Monocytopenia and mycobacterial infection (MonoMAC) is an immunodeficiency disease that is characterized by a lack of monocytes, a type of white blood cell, and an increased risk of developing mycobacteria infections that may cause tuberculosis.
- Allogeneic stem cell transplantation has been used successfully to treat many kinds of immune diseases and cancers that develop in blood or immune system cells. Researchers have been studying a particular kind of stem cell transplantation that uses lower than usual doses of chemotherapy and particular combinations of drugs to improve the results of the procedure for patients with blood-related cancers and pre-cancerous conditions.
Objectives:
- To determine the safety and efficacy of reduced-intensity hematopoietic stem cell transplants (a particular stem cell transplantation procedure) for treating MonoMAC.
Eligibility:
- Patients 18-60 years of age who have MonoMAC and who have been matched with a suitable stem cell donor.
Design:
- Donors and recipients will undergo separate procedures as part of this protocol.
- Donors:
- National Institutes of Health researchers will take the donor s medical history, perform a physical exam, take blood samples, and explain the procedure. Tests will be performed to check the donors heart, lung, kidney, and liver function.
- Donors will receive injections of a drug called filgrastim (G-CSF), which causes stem cells to travel from bone marrow into blood. The G-CSF shots will be given for 5 to 7 days before the collection procedure.
- Donors will undergo apheresis to collect white blood cells and stem cells directly from the blood, which can be done as an outpatient procedure. Researchers may consider the alternative of directly collecting bone marrow from the donor, which will require an overnight hospital stay.
- Recipients:
- Recipients will receive 3 days of pre-transplant chemotherapy and radiation therapy to prepare for the transplant. For 4 days before the transplant, recipients will receive the chemotherapy drug fludarabine, followed by a single dose of radiation therapy, and will also receive the drugs tacrolimus and sirolimus to prevent the donor cells from attacking the recipient s normal tissues.
- Recipients will then receive the transplant of donor stem cells and will continue to receive tacrolimus and sirolimus for 3 months after the transplant to prevent the donor cells from attacking the recipient s normal tissues. Recipients will be discharged from the hospital once their condition is stable.
- Recipients will visit the NCI clinic regularly for the first 5 months after the transplant, and then less often for at least 5 years. Recipients may receive additional donor immune cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant if the study doctors believe they are needed.
Detailed description
BACKGROUND:
Mutations in GATA binding protein 2 (GATA2) lead to an immunodeficiency disease that transforms into myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). This syndrome, previously known as MonoMAC, has 4 clinical features: 1) infections with Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC) and other opportunistic infections as a teenager or young adult, 2) a peripheral blood leukocyte flow cytometry profile with T-lymphocytes, but a severe deficiency of monocytes, B-lymphocytes, and Natural Killer (NK) cells, 3) the propensity to progress to MDS/AML, and 4) mutations in the gene GATA2. In this pilot study we propose to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a reduced intensity allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) regimen for patients with mutations in GATA2. We are particularly interested in determining whether allogeneic HSCT using this regimen reconstitutes normal hematopoiesis in patients with mutations in GATA2.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary Objective:
- To determine efficacy, namely whether reduced-intensity allogeneic HSCT results in engraftment and restores normal hematopoiesis by day +100 in patients with mutations in GATA2.
- To determine the safety of this HSCT regimen in patients with mutations in GATA2, including transplant related toxicity, the incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus host disease, immune reconstitution, overall survival, and disease-free survival
ELIGIBILITY:
Eligibility includes patients 12-60 years old with mutations in GATA2 who have a life expectancy of > 3 months but < 24 months, and who have a 10/10 matched related donor, a 10/10 or 9/10 matched unrelated donor (HLA -A, -B, -C, DRB1, DQB1 by high resolution typing identified through the National Marrow Donor Program), a 4/6 (or greater human leukocyte antigens (HLA -A), -B, DRB1) matched unrelated umbilical cord donor, or a haploidentical donor. Patients with GATA2 mutations who are 12-17 years of age are required to have MDS with chromosomal abnormalities to be eligible for this protocol.
DESIGN:
- Patients with mutations in GATA2 with a 10/10 matched related or 10/10 matched unrelated donor, will receive a reduced-intensity pre-transplant conditioning regimen consisting of fludarabine 30 mg/m(2)/day on days -4, -3, and -2, 200 centigray (cGy) total body irradiation (TBI) on day -1, and HSCT on day 0. Patients with mutations in GATA2 and a 9/10 matched unrelated donor will receive a reduced-intensity pre-transplant conditioning regimen consisting of fludarabine 30 mg/m(2)/day on days -4, -3, and -2, 300cGy total body irradiation (TBI) on day -1, and HSCT on day 0. Patients with mutations in GATA2 with umbilical cord blood units will receive a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen with cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg on day -6, fludarabine 40 mg/m(2) on days -6 to -2, equine anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) 30 mg/kg intravenous (IV) on days -6, -5 and -4, 200 cGy TBI on day -1, and HSCT on day 0. Patients with a haploidentical donor will receive a reduced intensity-conditioning regimen with cyclophosphamide 14.5 mg/kg on days -6 and -5, fludarabine 30 mg/m(2) on 4days -6 to -2, and 200 cGy TBI on day -1. Donor bone marrow cells will be infused on day 0.
- Post-transplant immunosuppression for graft-versus-host-disease prophylaxis will consist of sirolimus (Rapamycin) and tacrolimus until day +180, provided that there is no evidence of graft-versus-host disease. Post-transplant immunosuppression for graft versus-host-disease prophylaxis for recipients of haploidentical donors will consist of cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg on days +3 and +4, along with sirolimus from day +5 to day 180, and tacrolimus from day +5 to day 180, providing that there is no graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
