Engineered Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

Status:
Active, not recruiting
Trial end date:

Target enrollment:

Participant gender:
All
Summary
This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of engineered donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Using T cells specially selected from donor blood in the laboratory for transplant may stop this from happening.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Lack of a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched related donor, lack of an immediately
available 8/8 HLA matched unrelated donor

- Patients must be diagnosed with a high-risk and/or advanced hematologic malignancy
defined as one of the following

- Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in complete remission (CR)1 with high-risk features
including adverse cytogenetic such as t(9;22), t(1;19), t(4;11), or MLL gene
rearrangements; in second or greater morphologic remission; persistent minimal
residual disease

- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in CR1 with intermediate-risk disease and persistent
detectable minimal residual disease (MRD), or with high-risk features defined as:
greater than 1 cycle of induction therapy required to achieve remission; preceding
myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or myeloproliferative disease; presence of FLT3
mutations or internal tandem duplications, DNMT3a, TET2, MLL-partial tandem
duplication (PTD), ASXL1, PHF6; FAB M6 or M7 classification; adverse cytogenetics
including: -5, del 5q, -7, del7q, abnormalities involving 3q, 9q, 11q, 20q, 21q, 17,
+8, complex (> 3 abnormalities)

- Patients with AML must have less than 10% bone marrow blasts and < 100/mcL absolute
peripheral blood blast count

- Patients with AML in CR2, subsequent CR or with active disease at transplant (< 10%
bone marrow blasts)

- MDS with International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) intermediate-2 or higher,
therapy-related MDS or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)

- Aplastic anemia with absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1,000 and transfusion dependent
after failed immunosuppression therapy

- Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) >= 1st chronic phase, after failed >=2 lines of
tyrosine kinase inhibitors; patients who progressed to blast phase must be in
morphologic remission at transplant

- Relapsed Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)

- Patients with chemo-sensitive chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic
lymphoma (SLL) with persistent or recurrent disease after fludarabine-based regimens

chemotherapy

or t(14;16) or hypodiploidy, with advanced disease (stage >= 2) and /or relapsed after
autologous stem cell transplant

collection
