  • Donor Participants:
  • Per Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT) program practices, an allele level matched (8/8 HLA A, B, C and DR) sibling or unrelated donor is preferred. If a matched donor is not found, mismatched unrelated or haploidentical donors may be considered.
  • If a haploidentical donor is considered, parents, children, full siblings and in selected cases, extended family, will have high resolution typing at the MCC HLA laboratory. A familiar haploidentical donor is chosen among those who share at least one HLA-A, B, C, DRB1 and DQB1 haplotype with the patient.
  • Patient will be screened for antibodies targeting mismatched HLA antigens in potential haploidentical donors (donor specific antibodies, DSA). Antibody screen and confirmatory testing using Luminex single antigen-bead test will be done.
  • Among several potential donors, will choose in order of priority: a) Matched cytomegalovirus (CMV) immunoglobulin G (IgG) serologic status between donor and recipient. b) ABO blood group system-matched donor preferred, then minor ABO mismatch, then major ABO mismatch. c) Younger donor preferred: child, then sibling, and then parent. d) For male recipient, male donor will be preferred. Avoid mother as a donor unless no other choices.

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: A Calcineurin Inhibitor-Free GVHD Prevention Regimen After Related Haploidentical Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation

The purpose of this study is to find out if a combination of drugs (these are called: cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil) will protect participants better against graft vs. host disease (GVHD) after receiving a hematopoietic cell transplant from a related partially matched (haploidentical) donor. As part of the treatment for their blood cancer, participants need a hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to improve their chances of cure. In any HCT, after the stem cell infusion is given, a combination of drugs is needed to prevent GVHD and facilitate acceptance of the graft.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FludarabineDrug

    Also called Fludara, Oforta

    Myeloablative conditioning: 40 mg/m^2 daily for 4 days. Dose will be adjusted for estimated creatinine clearance. Reduced intensity conditioning: 30 mg/m^2 daily on days -6, -5, -4, -3 and -2. Dose will be adjusted for estimated creatinine clearance.

  • BusulfanDrug

    Also called Busulfex, Myleran

    Myeloablative conditioning: IV dosing targeted for a daily total area under curve (AUC) 5300 mmol*min/L for 4 days. Busulfan AUC will be pharmacokinetically targeted. An AUC 3500 mmol*min/l may be considered in patients over 60 years of age or with multiple comorbidities. Chemotherapy may start on day -6 or day -5 depending on the day of admission (-6 for Wednesday admission, -5 for Sunday admission).

  • CyclophosphamideDrug

    Also called Cytoxan

    Reduced intensity conditioning: 14.5 mg/kg/day on days -6, -5. GVHD prophylaxis: 50 mg/kg ideal body weight (IBW) daily dose will be given on days +3 and +4 post-transplant as an IV infusion over 1-2 hours.

  • Total body irradiation (TBI)Radiation

    Also called radiotherapy

    Reduced intensity conditioning: 200 centigray (cGy) on day -1.

  • Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)Procedure or surgery

    Also called cell graft

    On day 0, patients will receive a peripheral blood hematopoietic cell graft.

  • Sirolimus (SIR)Drug

    Also called Rapamune

    GVHD prophylaxis: SIR will be administered as a 9 mg oral loading dose on day +5, followed by maintenance. SIR levels will be monitored and maintenance dosing adjusted as needed for a target trough level 8 to 14 ng/ml, per Moffitt BMT program standard practice. In the absence of acute GVHD, sirolimus taper will start on day +90 (+/- 10 days) and it is suggested to finish by day +180.

  • Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)Drug

    Also called CellCept

    GVHD prophylaxis: MMF will start on day +5 at a dose of 15 mg/kg every 8 hours IV with the maximum daily dose not to exceed 3 gm. MMF will be changed to orally (PO) and discontinued on day +35 (without taper) in the absence of acute GVHD.

  • Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)Drug

    Also called Neupogen, Filgrastim

    Growth factor support: G-CSF will be given beginning on day 5 at a dose of 5 mcg/kg/day (rounding to the nearest vial dose), until absolute granulocyte count (ANC) is > 1,000/mm^3 for three consecutive days. G-CSF may be given IV or subcutaneously.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Grade II-IV Acute Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD)

    Cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD by day 100 after HCT. Acute GVHD organ staging and assessment of overall grade will use standard consensus criteria. The cumulative incidence of acute and chronic GVHD will be estimated, considering malignancy relapse and non-relapse death as competing risk events.

    Measured: 100 days post hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of Chronic GVHD

    Cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD by 1 year. Chronic GVHD diagnosis follow National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus guidelines.

    Measured: 1 year post HCT

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival is defined as time from transplant to death or last follow-up, and is reported as percentage of surviving participants.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post HCT

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival defined by the time interval from transplant to relapse/recurrence, to death or to last follow-up. Reported as percentage of participants who are disease free one year post HCT.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post HCT

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Jan 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Grade II-IV Acute Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD) (time frame: 100 days post hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03018223, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Sep 2021.
