-6 to day -2 , busulfan(iv) 3.2mg/kg day-6 to day -3 and cytarabine 2g/m2 day-6 to day -2. FBA group: FBA as HSCT conditioning which including fludarabine 30mg/m2 day -6 to day -2, busulfan(iv) 3.2mg/kg day-6 to day -3 and cytarabine 2g/m2 day-6 to day -2.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Relapse is still the main reason of death for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), especially for those with high risk and refractory disease. Cladribine and fludarabine are both purine analogs used in treatment of AML. Two studies by the Polish Adult Leukemia Group (PALG) demonstrated that the addition of cladribine to DA (DAC) was associated with an increased complete remission (CR) rate and prolonged overall survival (OS) in the general AML population, with the most prominent effect in patients with unfavorable cytogenetics. Therefore we presume cladribine may more effective in eliminating leukemic cells so that reduce relapse after HSCT. Haploidentical HSCT was the main option for those without HLA matched donors and the number of haploidentical transplants has covered over fifty percent of all allogeneic transplants in China. We designed this study to evaluated if cladribine based conditioning (CBA) could decrease relapse after haploidentical HSCT in high risk and refractory AML patients as compared with fludarabine based conditioning regimen(FBA).

Eligible patients in this study should between 18 to 60 years old with confirmed AML and fulfilled at least one criteria defining high risk or refractory disease.Patients have no HLA matched sibling or unrelated donors but have haploidentical donor. Patients will be excluded if they present any contraindication for HSCT, including respiratory failure, heart failure, liver or kidney function failure et al.

To evaluate if CBA could decrease relapse after haploidentical HSCT in high risk and refractory AML patients as compared with FBA, 120 eligible patients will be randomized to two groups, the CBA group and the FBA group. Patients in the CBA group receive conditioning including cladribine 5mg/m2 day -6 to day -2 , busulfan(iv) 3.2mg/kg day-6 to day -3 and cytarabine 2g/m2 day-6 to day -2. While patients in the FBA group receive conditioning including fludarabine 30mg/m2 day -6 to day -2 , busulfan(iv) 3.2mg/kg day-6 to day-3 and cytarabine 2g/m2 day-6 to day -2. Graft versus host disease(GVHD) prophylactic regimen include ATG 2.5mg/kg d-4 to d-1, cyclosporine A and short term MTX.

Patients will be followed up for 2 years and the primary end point is the cumulative relapse rate at 2 years. The second end points of the study include the overall survival, disease free survival and non-relapse mortality at 2 years.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of AML confirmed by bone marrow cell morphology, immunology, cytogenetics and molecular biology (MICM). Blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and AML transferred from myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) or other diseases are also included.
  2. AML with high risk cytogenetic abnormals, such as FLT3- ITD, et al.
  3. Patients fulfilled at least one of the following criteria defining refractory AML:(1) primary induction failure (PIF) after 2 or more cycles of chemotherapy; (2) first early relapse after a remission duration of fewer than 12 months and refractory to salvage combination chemotherapy; (3) second or subsequent relapse .
  4. Have no HLA matched siblings or unrelated donors, but have haploidentical donor. The donor must match the health conditions of hematopoietic stem cell donation (criteria of China Marrow Donor Program) and be willing to donate.
  5. Performance status score no more than 2 (ECOG criteria).
  6. Adequate organ function as defined by the following criteria:ALT, AST and total serum bilirubin <2×ULN (upper limit of normal), Serum creatinine and BUN <1.25×ULN.
  7. Adequate cardiac function without acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmia or atrioventricular block, heart failure, active rheumatic heart disease and cardiac dilatation.
  8. Signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the patient (or legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial prior to enrollment.
