Calcineurin Inhibitor-Free GVHD Prevention Regimen After Related Haplo PBSCT

September 14, 2021 updated by: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

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.

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.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patient Participants:

  • Uncontrolled active bacterial, viral, fungal infection.
  • Prior allogeneic HCT.
  • Unwilling to comply with study requirements.
  • Active, progressive or advanced disease based on diagnosis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Grade II-IV Acute Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD)
Time Frame: 100 days post hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT)
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.
100 days post hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Chronic GVHD
Time Frame: 1 year post HCT
Cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD by 1 year. Chronic GVHD diagnosis follow National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus guidelines.
