Phase 1 Study of Chemotherapy Plus HLA-mismatched GPBMC Infusion Bridging to Allo-HSCT for R/R Leukemia

December 9, 2025 updated by: Beijing 302 Hospital

Phase 1 Study of Chemotherapy Combining With HLA-mismatched G-CSF Mobilized Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Infusion as a Bridge to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Relapsed and Refractory Leukemia

This is a Phase 1 clinical study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of chemotherapy combining with HLA-mismatched G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cell (GPBMC) infusion as a bridging therapy to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with relapsed and refractory (R/R) leukemia.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Eligible patients will firstly receive chemotherapy combining with infusion of HLA-mismatched GPBMCs with the aim to reduce leukemia burden. Secondly, they will receive allo-HSCT per protocol. GPBMCs used in the first-step infusion will be derived from a sibling or unrelated donor, and GPBMCs used in the allo-HSCT procedure will be derived from an alternative donor, or the same donor (haploidentical/matched sibling/HLA 9-10 loci matched unrelated) as in the first step. The primary endpoint is the incidence of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) within 100 days post allo-HSCT, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infection, organ dysfunction, and hematological toxicity. Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS) at 1 and 2 years, progression-free survival (PFS), and graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age >=15 years, male or female, non-limited by race or ethnicity.
  • Confirmed diagnosis of R/R leukemia and risk stratification according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 5th edition classification, based on histopathology and cytogenetics.
  • Adequate hepatic function including alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST )<= 3 × upper limit of normal(ULN), and total bilirubin <= 1.5 × ULN.
  • Adequate renal function including serum creatinine <= 2 × ULN or CrCl>= 40mL/min.
  • LVEF measured by echocardiogram is within the normal range (LVEF > 50%).
  • The subject must have one HLA mismatched donor who is >= 18 years old to provide GPBMCs for the first-step infusion. If this donor is not qualified as an allo-HSCT donor, the subject must also have another donor who is >= 18 years old and qualified as allo-HSCT donor (i.e., matched sibling, 9-10/10 loci matched unrelated, or haploidentical). In addition, the donor voluntarily donates hematopoietic stem cells and signs the consent form. Each subject (or his/her legal representatives) must sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF), indicating that he/she understands the purpose and procedures of research, and is willing to participate in research.
  • Donor inclusion criteria: The donor meets the institution's criteria for related peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell donors. The donor must be able to tolerate the cell separation and collection process, and sign the Informed Consent Form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Uncontrolled infection or hemorrhage.
  • Cardiovascular disease with clinical significance, such as uncontrolled or highly symptomatic cardiac arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to screening, or New York Heart Association (NYHA) function class 3 (moderate) or class 4 (severe) heart disease.
  • Uncontrolled autoimmune disease or requiring immunosuppression treatment.
  • History of severe blood infusion reaction.
  • Nursing women, women of childbearing potential with positive urine pregnancy test, or women of childbearing potential who are not willing to maintain adequate contraception.
  • Psychiatric disorder or cognitive impairment that in the researcher's judgment would make the subject not likely to adhere to the protocol requirements.
  • Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • Life-threatening illness other than leukemia or uncontrolled intercurrent illness.
