Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Clinical Trial

Donor Stem Cell Transplant With Treosulfan, Fludarabine, and Total-Body Irradiation for the Treatment of Hematological Malignancies

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well a donor stem cell transplant, treosulfan, fludarabine, and total-body irradiation work in treating patients with blood cancers (hematological malignancies). Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM A (HIGH DOSE TREOSULFAN): Patients receive high dose treosulfan intravenously (IV) over 120 minutes on days -6 to -4 and fludarabine IV over 60 minutes on days -6 to -2. Patients then undergo total-body irradiation on day -1 and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on day 0. Patients then receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours on days 3-4. Beginning on day 5, patients receive cyclosporine IV twice daily (BID) or three times daily (TID) over 1-2 hours or orally (PO) (after 3 months, in the absence of GVHD, cyclosporine tapering will start by 5-10% per week, until drug withdrawal at 6 months post-transplant). Beginning on day 5, patients also receive mycophenolate sodium PO TID or mycophenolate mofetil IV or PO TID until day 35 (may be continued if active GVHD is present). Beginning on day 5, patients also receive filgrastim until the absolute neutrophil count is > 1,000/uL for 3 consecutive days.

ARM B (LOW DOSE TREOSULFAN): Patients receive low dose treosulfan IV over 120 minutes on days -6 to -4 and fludarabine IV over 60 minutes on days -6 to -2. Patients then undergo total-body irradiation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and receive cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, mycophenolate sodium or mycophenolate mofetil, and filgrastim as in Arm A.

After completion of transplant, patients are followed up at 28, 56, 84, 365, and 730 days.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)

Lymphoblastic, Burkitt's and other high-grade lymphoma in any complete (CR) or partial (PR) response

CR and PR are defined according to Lugano classification: Recommendations for Initial Evaluation, Staging, and Response Assessment of Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: The Lugano Classification

Low grade lymphoma (chronic lymphocytic leukemia [CLL]/small lymphocytic lymphoma [SLL], marginal zone lymphoma, follicular lymphoma) progressed after two treatment regimens, in CR/PR

For CLL/SLL, CR and PR are defined according to: International Workshop on CLL (iwCLL) guidelines for diagnosis, indications for treatment, response assessment, and supportive management of CLL
CR and PR are defined according to Lugano classification: Recommendations for Initial Evaluation, Staging, and Response Assessment of Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: The Lugano Classification

Large cell lymphoma in > second CR (CR2)/ >= PR2

CR and PR are defined according to Lugano classification: Recommendations for Initial Evaluation, Staging, and Response Assessment of Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: The Lugano Classification

Mantle cell lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and prolymphocytic leukemia may be eligible after initial therapy if in CR/PR

CR and PR are defined according to Lugano classification: Recommendations for Initial Evaluation, Staging, and Response Assessment of Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: The Lugano Classification
For prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), CR is defined as a normalization of lymphadenopathies (long-axis diameter < 1 cm) and splenomegaly (< 13 cm), absence of constitutional symptoms, PLL cells < 5% in bone marrow and circulating lymphocytes count < 4 x 10^9/L. Patients without hematopoietic recovery are considered eligible to the study. PR is defined as a decrease of >= 30% of the sum of lymphadenopathies' long-axis diameters, a decrease of >= 50% in spleen vertical length beyond normal from baseline, peripheral blood (PB) lymphocytes =< 30 x 10^9/L (and a decrease of >= 50% from baseline)

Hodgkin Lymphoma in > CR2/PR2

CR and PR are defined according to Lugano classification: Recommendations for Initial Evaluation, Staging, and Response Assessment of Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: The Lugano Classification

Adequate pulmonary function defined as absence of oxygen (O2) requirements and one of the following:

Diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) corrected >= 70% mm Hg
DLCO corrected between 60% - 69% mm Hg and partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) >= 70 mm Hg

Patients who have undergone prior allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant are eligible, but the prior transplant must have been performed at least 3 months prior to enrollment, unless in case of graft failure from the prior transplant
Written and signed informed consent
DONOR: Donors must be haploidentical relatives of the patients. Donor-recipient compatibility will be tested through HLA typing at high resolution for the HLA loci (-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1). Donor and recipient should share at least 5/10 HLA loci
DONOR: Age >= 12 years
DONOR: Weight >= 40 Kg
DONOR: Ability of donors younger than 18 years of age to undergo apheresis without use of a vascular access device. Vein check must be performed and verified by an apheresis nurse prior to arrival.
DONOR: Donor must meet selection criteria as defined by the Foundation of the Accreditation of Cell Therapy (FACT) and will be screened per the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) guidelines

DONOR: In case of more available haploidentical donors, selection criteria should include, in this order:

For cytomegalovirus (CMV) seronegative recipients, a CMV seronegative donor

Red blood cell compatibility

Red blood cell (RBC) cross match compatible
Minor ABO incompatibility
Major ABO incompatibility

Exclusion Criteria:

Active, uncontrolled, life-threatening viral, bacterial or fungal infection requiring treatment at time of conditioning regiment administration and transplantation
Presence of a malignancy other than the one for which the transplant is being performed, with an expected survival less than 75% at 5 years
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Known hypersensitivity to treosulfan, fludarabine or cyclophosphamide
Dosing with another investigational agent within 30 days prior to entry in the study
Central nervous system (CNS) leukemic involvement not clearing with intrathecal chemotherapy and/or cranial radiation prior to initiation of conditioning (day -6)
DONOR: Since detection of anti-donor-specific-antigen antibodies (anti-DSA) is associated with higher graft rejection rate, patients will be screened for anti-DSA pre-transplant. Patients with DSA mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) < 5000 after desensitization treatment, will be considered eligible to participate in the study. The first 10 subjects enrolled in the trial will be DSA-negative.
