The goal of this clinical trial is to compare outcomes of two reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens (fludarabine plus busulfan and fludarabine plus melphalan) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* The safety of two reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens (fludarabine plus busulfan and fludarabine plus melphalan) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for adult AML/MDS patients with HCT-CI≥3 or aged ≥55 years.
* The efficacy of two reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens (fludarabine plus busulfan and fludarabine plus melphalan) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for adult AML/MDS patients with HCT-CI≥3 or aged ≥55 years.

Participants will be randomized to one of two reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens (fludarabine plus busulfan and fludarabine plus melphalan)

Patients are randomized to one of two reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens: the combination of fludarabine (30 mg/m\^2/day, days -6 to days -2, the total dase is 150 mg/m\^2) and busulfan (3.2 mg/kg/day, days -3 to days -2, the total dose is 6.4 mg/kg) (Flu/Bu) or fludarabine (30 mg/m\^2/day, days -6 to days -2, the total dose is 150 mg/m\^2) and melphalan (70 mg/m\^2/day, days -3 to days -2, the total dose is 140 mg/m\^2) (Flu/Mel). A total of 200 patients (100 to each arm) will be recruited in this study over a period of two years. Patients will be followed for up to 18 months from allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Cyclophosphamide and Total Body Irradiation

Mary Horowitz, MD

The rationale for this trial is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of allogeneic HCT for patients with chemotherapy-sensitive hematological malignancies and coincident HIV-infection. In particular, the trial will focus on the 100-day non-relapse mortality as an indicator of the safety of transplant in this patient population. Correlative assays will focus upon the incidence of infectious complications in this patient population, the evolution of HIV infection and immunological reconstitution. Where feasible (and when this can be accomplished without compromise of either the donor quality or the timeliness of transplantation), an attempt will be made to identify donors who are homozygotes for the delta32 mutation for CCR5.

The study is designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of reduced-intensity and fully-ablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for patients with hematological malignancies or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who have HIV infection. The goal of the study is to assess the 100 day Non-relapse Mortality as well as immunological reconstitution in this patient population. Where feasible, an attempt will be made to identify human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-compatible hematopoietic stem cell donors who are homozygotes for the delta32 mutation of the chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5delta32). Patients will undergo a treatment plan review prior to registration on the trial. All patients will undergo allogeneic HCT from a matched sibling or unrelated donor.

Results will be published in a manuscript and supporting information submitted to NIH BioLINCC (including data dictionaries, case report forms, data submission documentation, documentation for outcomes dataset, etc where indicated).

The events for non-relapse mortality are death due to any cause other than relapse of the underlying malignancy.

Overall survival is defined as the time from transplant to death from any cause.

Relapse/Progression is defined as relapse or progression of the primary malignancy.

Patients will be assessed for disease status at Day 100 post-HCT, classified as complete remission, partial remission, stable disease, and relapse/progressive disease.

Recovery of hematologic function is described by the time to neutrophil and platelet recovery. Time to neutrophil recovery will be the first of three consecutive days of \> 500 neutrophils/μL following the expected nadir. Time to platelet engraftment will be described by the date when platelet count is \> 20,000/μL for the first of three consecutive labs with no platelet transfusions 7 days prior.

Donor T-cell and myeloid chimerism will be described separately by conditioning regimen intensity (myeloablative or reduced intensity) according to proportions with mixed chimerism (5-95% donor cells out of all), full chimerism (\>95% donor cells), or graft rejection (\<5% donor cells).

Acute GVHD is graded according to the scoring system proposed by Przepiorka et al.1995:

Skin stage:

0: No rash

1. Rash \<25% of body surface area
2. Rash on 25-50% of body surface area
3. Rash on \> 50% of body surface area
4. Generalized erythroderma with bullous formation

1. Diarrhea 500-999 mL/day or persistent nausea with histologic evidence of GVHD
2. Diarrhea 1000-1499 mL/day
3. Diarrhea \>1500 mL/day
4. Severe abdominal pain with or without ileus \* If multiple etiologies are listed for liver or GI, the organ system is downstaged by 1.

The study is designed as a Phase III, multicenter trial comparing outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) between patients receiving myeloablative conditioning (MAC) versus reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens.

Patients randomized to RIC will receive one of two regimen types: the combination of fludarabine (120-180 mg/m\^2) and busulfan (less than or equal to 8 mg/kg or IV equivalent) (Flu/Bu) or fludarabine (120-180 mg/m\^2) and melphalan (less than 150 mg/m\^2) (Flu/Mel). Patient randomized to MAC will receive one of three regimens: busulfan (16 mg/kg oral or 12.8 mg/kg IV equivalent) and cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) (Bu/Cy); or, busulfan (16 mg/kg PO or 12.8 mg/kg IV) and fludarabine (120-180 mg/m\^2) (Bu/Flu); or, cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) and total body irradiation (greater than 1200-1420cGy) (CyTBI). A total of 356 patients (178 to each arm) will be accrued on this study over a period of four years. Patients will be followed for up to 18 months from transplantation.

Findings will be published in a manuscript

Overall survival is defined as survival of death from any cause.

Relapse-free survival is defined as survival without relapse of the primary disease.

Disease Relapse is defined as relapse of the primary disease.

Treatment-related mortality is defined as death without a previous relapse of the primary disease.

Neutrophil engraftment is defined as achieving an absolute neutrophil count greater than 500x10\^6/liter for 3 consecutive measurements on different days. The first of the 3 days will be designated the day of neutrophil engraftment. Platelet engraftment is defined as achieving platelet counts greater than 20,000/microliter for consecutive measurements over 7 days without requiring platelet transfusions. The first of the 7 days will be designated the day of platelet engraftment. Subjects must not have had platelet transfusions during the preceding 7 days.

Donor cell engraftment will be assessed by donor-recipient chimerism assays. Full donor chimerism is defined as the presence of at least 95% donor cells as a proportion of the total population in the peripheral blood or bone marrow. Graft rejection is defined as the presence of no more than 5% donor cells as a proportion of the total population. Mixed chimerism is defined as the presence of between 5% and 95% donor cells. Mixed or full donor chimerism will be considered evidence of donor engraftment.

Acute GVHD is graded according to the scoring system proposed by Przepiorka et al.1995:

Skin stage:

0: No rash

1. Rash \<25% of body surface area
2. Rash on 25-50% of body surface area
3. Rash on \> 50% of body surface area
4. Generalized erythroderma with bullous formation

Liver stage (based on bilirubin level)\*:

0: \<2 mg/dL

1. 2-3 mg/dL
2. 3.01-6 mg/dL
3. 6.01-15.0 mg/dL
4. \>15 mg/dL

GI stage\*:

0: No diarrhea or diarrhea \<500 mL/day

1. Diarrhea 500-999 mL/day or persistent nausea with histologic evidence of GVHD
2. Diarrhea 1000-1499 mL/day
3. Diarrhea \>1500 mL/day
4. Severe abdominal pain with or without ileus \* If multiple etiologies are listed for liver or GI, the organ system is downstaged by 1.

GVHD grade:

0: All organ stages 0 or GVHD not listed as an etiology I: Skin stage 1-2 and liver and GI stage 0 II: Skin stage 3 or liver or GI stage 1 III: Liver stage 2-3 or GI stage 2-4 IV: Skin or liver stage 4

Chronic GVHD is classified per 2005 NIH Consensus Criteria (Filipovich et al. 2005) into categories of severity: none, mild, moderate, and severe.

Primary graft failure is defined by lack of neutrophil engraftment.

Secondary graft failure is defined by initial neutrophil engraftment followed by subsequent decline in neutrophil counts to less than 500x10\^6/liter that is unresponsive to growth factor therapy.

The maximum grade of toxicities reported by participants over the study duration are tabulated. Per the CTCAE criteria, toxicities are graded on a scale of 0-5, with higher numbers indicating greater severity. The categories correspond as follows:

3 - severe; 4 - life-threatening; 5 - fatal

The number and types of infection events reported are tabulated.

The maximum severity of infections reported by participants are tabulated.

The number of infections and the number of patients experiencing infections will be tabulated by type of infection, severity, and time period after transplant. The cumulative incidence of severe, life-threatening, or fatal infections will be compared between the two treatment arms at 6, 12, and 18 months from transplant or until death.

Primary cause of death was adjudicated using previously described criteria (Copelan et al. 2007). When relapse occurred, it was considered the primary cause of death regardless of other events.

Serious Adverse Events (AE) are defined as events associated with death, life-threatening event, disability, congenital anomaly, required intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage, hospitalization or other serious adverse event. Only unexpected grade 3-5 AEs were required to be reported through the AE system per protocol.

One of three different regimens in MAC will be administered; busulfan and fludarabine, busulfan and cyclophosphamide, or cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation.

Busulfan and Fludarabine: (Bu/Flu)

Disease Duration

Disease risk status is defined according to cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities identified prior to transplantation and classified as standard or high risk. Among AML participants, high-risk disease is defined as the presence of cytogenetic abnormalities at 3q, 9q, 11q, 20q, 21q, or 17p; the presence of del(5q)/-5, -7/del(7q), t(6;9), or t(9;22); and/or FLT-3 internal tandem duplication mutation. Among MDS participants, high-risk disease is defined as the presence of \> 10% blasts in bone marrow.

Disease Risk Status

The Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) (Sorror et al., 2005) summarizes relevant comorbidities present in participants prior to allogeneic transplant. Each comorbidity reported at the time of transplant is given a score of 0, 1, 2, or 3 and the overall HCT-CI score is the sum of the comorbidity scores, ranging from 0 - 26.

HCT-CI

Flu/Bu4: busulfan (16 mg/kg oral or 12.8 mg/kg IV) and fludarabine (120-180 mg/m2); Bu/Cy: busulfan (16 mg/kg oral or 12.8 mg/kg IV) and cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) ; Cy/TBI: cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) and total body irradiation (1200-1420 cGy); Flu/Mel: fludarabine (120-180 mg/m2) and melphalan (≤ 150 mg/m2); Flu/Bu2: fludarabine (120-180 mg/m2) with busulfan (≤ 8 mg/kg oral or 6.4 mg/kg IV);

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the cumulative incidence of disease relapse during the first 18 months post-randomization between AML/MDS participants receiving MAC and RIC conditioning regimens. Cumulative incidence of disease relapse was compared between treatment arms using Gray's test, treating death as a competing risk.

Percentage of Participants With Disease Relapse

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the cumulative incidence of treatment-related mortality during the first 18 months post-randomization between AML/MDS participants receiving MAC and RIC conditioning regimens. Cumulative incidence of treatment-related mortality was compared between treatment arms using Gray's test, treating disease relapse as a competing risk.

Percentage of Participants With Treatment-related Mortality

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment at Day 28 post-transplant between AML/MDS participants receiving MAC and RIC conditioning regimens. Cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment at Day 28 was compared between treatment arms using the difference in Aalen-Johansen estimators, which should be close to 0 under the null hypothesis. Death was treated as a competing risk.

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment at Day 60 post-transplant between AML/MDS participants receiving MAC and RIC conditioning regimens. Cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment at Day 60 was compared between treatment arms using the difference in Aalen-Johansen estimators, which should be close to 0 under the null hypothesis. Death was treated as a competing risk.
