Autologous Transplant Targeted Against Crohn's (ATTAC)
November 6, 2019 updated by: Richard Burt, MD, Northwestern University
Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for Crohn's Disease
This study is a new Phase II trial to assess the toxicity and efficacy of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) utilizing a new non-myeloablative conditioning regimen in patients with high-risk Crohn's disease (CD).
The regimen will include low-dose immunosuppressive therapy and a targeted antibiotic for six to twelve months post-HSCT.

Detailed Description
The autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in this study utilizes a new non-myeloablative conditioning regimen in patients with high-risk Crohn's disease (CD).
The regimen includes two types of chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine) as well as alemtuzumab.
The regimen will include low-dose immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus (Prograf) for one year post-HSCT in attempt to prevent relapse and improve long-term remission.
Patients will also receive rifaximin (Xifaxan) for six months post-HSCT to target abnormal intestinal microbiota that may trigger intestinal inflammation.
The ability of these experimental treatments to stop relapses and progression (worsening) of Crohn's disease will be assessed.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 18 years and less than age 50 years at the time of pre-transplant evaluation
- Ability to give informed consent
An established clinical diagnosis of severe Crohn's Disease* that has failed therapy with prednisone or budesonide (Entocort) and either a or b below:
- At least two anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) drugs (e.g., infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira), or certolizumab pegol (Cimzia))
One anti-TNF drug as above and either vedolizumab (Entyvio) or ustekinumab (Stelara)
- Severe Crohn's Disease is defined as a CDAI (see Appendix A) of 250 to 400 or a Craig's Crohn's Severity Index (CCSI, see Appendix B) that is > 17.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or any other illness that in the opinion of the investigators would jeopardize the ability of the patient to tolerate aggressive treatment
- Prior history of malignancy (except localized basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix). Other malignancies for which the patient is judged to be cured by local surgical therapy, such as head and neck cancer, or stage I breast cancer will be considered on an individual basis
- Positive pregnancy test, inability to pursue effective means of birth control, or failure to willingly accept or comprehend irreversible sterility as a side effect of therapy
- HIV positive
- Hepatitis B or C positive
- Psychiatric illness or mental deficiency making compliance with treatment or informed consent impossible

- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%
- Forced vital capacity (FVC) <60% of predicted after bronchodilator therapy (if necessary) or diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) hemoglobin corrected <60 % predicted
- Serum creatinine >2 mg/dl
- 24-hour urine creatinine clearance <90
- Liver transaminases >2x of normal limits, or bilirubin >2 mg/dl unless due to Crohn's Disease
- Major hematological abnormalities such as platelet count < 100,000/ul or absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1500/ul
- Failure to collect at least 2 x10^6 cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34+) cells/kg
- Any active infection
- Known hypersensitivity to mouse, rabbit, or E. coli derived proteins
- Short Bowel Syndrome defined as intestinal dysfunction with the presence of significant malabsorption of both macronutrients and micronutrients or when gastrointestinal function is inadequate to maintain nutrient and hydration status without intravenous or enteral supplementation.
- History of anorexia nervosa (serum albumin ≤ 20 g/L, body mass index ≤ 18)
- Patients presenting with intestinal perforation or toxic megacolon or a problem that will require urgent surgery. The presence of intestinal stomas, strictures, or fistulae does not exclude the patient from study.
- Unable or unwilling to stop using and/or smoking tobacco products
- Abnormal peripheral blood cytogenetics

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Therapy will be performed as follows: Autologous stem cells will be infused after conditioning with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, mesna, and alemtuzumab.
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) will be administered post-transplant until engraftment.
Rifaximin and tacrolimus will be administered for 6 and 12 months, respectively, beginning one day before the infusion of stem cells.
