Sex-Mismatched Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation for Men With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

A Pilot Study of Sex-Mismatched Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation for Men With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Men with progressive metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer post first-line treatment with either androgen deprivation therapy alone or androgen deprivation therapy plus docetaxel who have an identified related female donor (mother sister, daughter, second degree relative such as granddaughter or niece) will undergo bone marrow transplantation followed by post-transplant Cytoxan (PT/Cy) and testosterone.

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Prostate Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: Bone marrow transplantation; Drug: Cytoxan; Drug: testosterone cypionate

Detailed Description

Men will undergo pre-transplant screening evaluation and be enrolled in the study. Subjects will be treated with a standard non-myeloablative conditioning regimen consisting of Fludarabine 30 mg/m2 IV Days -6 to -2; Cy 14.5 mg/kg IV Days -6 and -5; Total body irradiation (TBI) 200 cGy Day -1. On Day 0, patients will be infused with non-T-cell depleted bone marrow from a related female donor. Patients will receive GVHD prophylaxis consisting of: Cy 50mg/kg IV on Days +3 and +4; tacrolimus (IV or PO) beginning on Day +5 [dose adjusted to maintain trough level of 5-15 ng/mL] through day+180; Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 15 mg/kg PO TID, with a maximum dose of 1g TID beginning on Day +5 through Day +35. Patients will receive filgrastim (G-CSF) 5 mcg/kg/day beginning on Day +5 and continued until ANC ≥ 1500/mm3. Lastly, to produce maintenance tumor antigen stimulation, patients will be maintained on continuous LHRH agonist/antagonist therapy (if not previously surgically castrated) to suppress endogenous testosterone production throughout the treatment period; testosterone cypionate 400 mg IM will be administered on Day +60, +90, and +120 (every 30 days x 3 doses). Patients who achieve biochemical CR will stop LHRH agonist/antagonist treatment at day 180. Patients will be followed for 3 years post-BMT.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) Response	Percentage of participants with complete biochemical response at 6 months post-transplant (prostate-specific antigen <0.1 ng/mL for patients post-prostatectomy and prostate-specific antigen< 1 ng/mL for patients post-radiation therapy)	6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Transplant-related Mortality	Number of participants who experience transplant-related mortality (TRM) following alloBMT	3 years
Number of Participants With a Prostate-specific Antigen Decline ≥ 50%	Proportion of patients achieving a prostate-specific antigen decline ≥ 50% according to Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG2) criteria	3 years
Objective Response Rate or Either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)	Percentage of participants with reduction in measurable disease on CT scan as defined by RECIST criteria: Complete Response (CR)= disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR)= at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the largest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD; Progressive Disease (PD)= at least 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions; Stable disease (SD)= Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started	3 years
Time to PSA Progression	Time to PSA progression as defined by PCWG2 criteria ( PSA progression as an increase in PSA greater than 25% and >2 ng/ml above nadir, confirmed by progression at 2 timepoints at least 3 weeks apart)	3 years
Time to Clinical/Radiographic Progression	Time to clinical/radiographic progression on CT and bone scan as defined by RECIST ( >=25% increase in PSA from nadir (and by >=2ng/mL), and/or clinical/radiographic progression (clinical progression = symptomatic progression, worsening of disease-related symptoms or new cancer-related complications; radiographic progression on CT scan defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria: >=20% enlargement in sum diameter of soft-tissue target lesions; or on bone scan >=1 new bone lesions), initiation of ADT or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.) and PCWG2 criteria ( PSA progression as an increase in PSA greater than 25% and >2 ng/ml above nadir, confirmed by progression at 2 timepoints at least 3 weeks apart), respectively.	3 years
Number of Participants Who Experience Acute Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD)	Number of participants with acute GVHD grades 2-4 and grades 3-4 as defined by Przepiorka criteria. Przepiorka criteria stages the degree of organ involvement in the skin, liver and gastrointestinal (GI) tract, based on severity, with Stage 1+ being least sever and Stage 4+ being most severe. Grading of acute GVHD is as follows: Grade I (skin involvement stages 1+ to 2+, with no liver or GI involvement), Grade II (skin involvement stages 1+ to 3+, liver 1+, GI tract 1+), Grade III (skin involvement stages 2+ to 3+, liver 1+, GI tract 2+ to 4+), Grade IV (skin involvement stages 4+, liver 4+)	3 years

Number of Participants With Donor Chimerism	Patients with any amount of donor chimerism around day 60 will be considered as having engrafted. Chimerism determinations will be made on peripheral blood by a number of different methods depending on the specific patient. Methods may include (i) the usual standard of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) if the donor and recipient RFLPs are informative, (ii) fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) for Y-chromosome markers on PBMC if the donor is male, (iii) cytogenetic analysis, (iv) flow cytometric analysis of HLA-A, B or DR on lymphocytes in the peripheral blood if haploidentical and suitable reagents exist or (v) PCR analysis of variable nucleotide tandem repeats (VNTR) in PBMC if informative. Mixed donor chimerism will be defined as >0%, but <95%. Complete donor chimerism will be defined as >95%. Patients who have relapsed or died prior to day 60 will not be evaluable for full donor chimerism, as these are competing risk factors.	up to 60 days
Number of Participants With Graft Failure	Number of participants with failure to engraft due to rejection by host lymphocytes.	3 years
Effects of Post-transplantation Cyclophosphamide on the Immune Reconstitution of T Cells, B Cells, and NK Cells	The number of participants that have a changed to post-transplantation cyclophosphamide on the immune reconstitution of T cells, B cells, and NK cells	5 years
