Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for CD34+ Enriched Transplants From HLA-Compatible Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

Study Description

Brief Summary: This is a Phase II trial testing disease-specific myeloablative conditioning regimens for preparatory cytoreduction of patients receiving allogeneic HLA-compatible related or unrelated transplants of GCSF-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) depleted of T-cells by positive selection of CD34+ progenitor cells using the CliniMACS system. The CliniMACS Fractionation system is a method that positively selects CD34+ progenitor cells from PBSC by immunoadsorption of cells binding on anti CD34 monoclonal antibody to paramagnetic beads, which can then be isolated by passage through a magnetized column and released by agitation of beads. Two conditioning regimens have been used successfully with an alternative similar system, isolex, which is no longer being manufactured.

Detailed Description: For this trial, patients will be put into one of two myeloablative conditioning regimens, based on their disease, stage of disease, and dose of radiation accumulated in the course of treatment. Approximately twenty-four to forty-eight hours after completion of each conditioning regimen, patients will receive a transplant of a CD34+ progenitor cell-enriched, T-cell depleted fraction of GCSF-mobilized PBSC after fractionation on the CliniMACS device, from his/her HLA compatible donor. Due to stringent T-cell depletion, no significant Graft-versus-host disease is anticipated. Should Graft-versus-host disease occur, standard treatment would be initiated per the Transplant Service guidelines. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the potential of T-cell depleted Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplant fractionated by the CliniMACS system, when administered for disease targeted cytoreductive regimens, to secure consistent engraftment and hematopoietic reconstitution in HLA-compatible related or unrelated hosts, and to prevent or abrogate acute and chronic forms of Graft-versus-host disease. This study seeks to validate that these pre-transplant conditioning regimens, when administered with a CD34+ progenitor cell enriched, T-cell depleted graft, fractionated in the CliniMACS system, will be associated with a low incidence of non-leukemic mortality. The sample size is as follows: Regimen A: Hyperfractionated Total Body Irradiation/Thiotepa/Cyclophosphamide: 100 patients Regimen B: Busulfan/Melphalan/Fludarabine: 100 patients It is anticipated that the accrual will last five years. Patients will be followed for two years following transplantation.
