CD34 Selected Allogeneic HCT w/ Myeloablative Conditioning Plus CD8+ Memory TCell Infusion in MDS, AL and CML

CD34 Selected Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation With Myeloablative Conditioning and CD8+ Memory T Cell Infusion For Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Acute Leukemia, and Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

This study will evaluate combining stem cells from the patient's matched sibling donor (a standard CD34-selected transplant) with a second infusion of white blood cells called "CD8 memory T-cells" from their sibling donor.

Detailed Description

Primary Objective: To determine the rate of graft versus host disease (GvHD) free, relapse free survival (GRFS) at one year following CD34 selected allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation using myeloablative conditioning combined with an infusion of phenotypic CD8+ memory T cells from human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched donors for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Secondary Objective: To determine the rate of graft rejection, acute and chronic GvHD, non relapse mortality, relapse, overall survival, and disease free survival.

• Unable to comply with the treatment protocol, including appropriate supportive care, follow up and research tests.
• Planned to receive post transplant maintenance therapy except for fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitors or BCR ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Donor Inclusion Criteria:

• HLA matched donor (matching at 8/8 antigens or alleles including HLA A, B, C, and -DRB1).
• ≥ 18 years to < 66.0 years
• State of general good health
• Completed a donor evaluation with history, medical examination and standard blood tests within 60 days of starting the hematopoietic cell collection procedure. In order to fairly represent the interests of the donor, the donor evaluation and consent will be performed by a study team member other than the recipient's attending physician.
• Hepatitis A, B and C, HIV 1 and 2, HTLV, VZV, EBV, HSV, West Nile virus, Syphilis Treponema, T cruzi (Chagas), CMV, and the MPX NAT IDT (HIV/HCV/HBV) will be tested as per national standard of care guidelines for transplant donors. Donors who are HIV positive will be excluded. Donors who are positive by serology for Hepatitis B or C are eligible as long as PCR for RNA/DNA is negative
• White blood cell count > 3.5 x 109/L
• Platelets > 150 x 109/L
• Hematocrit > 35%
• Capable of undergoing leukapheresis
• Able to understand and sign informed consent

Donor Exclusion Criteria:

• Psychological traits or psychological or medical conditions which make them unlikely to tolerate the procedure
• Pregnant or lactating female

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) free and relapse free survival (GRFS)	The rate of participants who do not experience GvHD and also do not experience relapse are collectively considered to be GRFS. Relapse will be assessed according to the myelodysplastic syndrome or leukemia response criteria. The participants will be assessed for GRFS though 1 year post transplant. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants, a number without dispersion.	1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Graft Rejection	Graft rejection will be determined on the basis of reaction against the donor hematopoietic cells. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants who experience graft rejection though 1 year post transplant, a number without dispersion	1 year
Acute Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD)	The participants will be assessed for acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) though 1 year post transplant. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants who experience acute GvHD, a number without dispersion.	1 year
Chronic Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD)	The participants will be assessed for chronic, steroid requiring graft versus host disease (GvHD) though 1 year post transplant. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants who experience chronic GvHD, a number without dispersion.	1 year
Non relapse Mortality	: Non relapse mortality will be assessed as the number of participants who have died though 1 year post transplant, without a relapse or recurrence of their myelodysplastic syndrome or leukemia. Relapse will be assessed according to the myelodysplastic syndrome or leukemia response criteria. The outcome will be reported as the number of affected participants, a number without dispersion.	1 year
Relapse	Relapse will be assessed according to the myelodysplastic syndrome or leukemia response criteria. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants who experience relapse though 1 year post transplant, a number without dispersion.	1 year
