Matched Unrelated vs. Haploidentical Donor for Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Acute Leukemia

October 3, 2021 updated by: Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf

Matched Unrelated vs. Haploidentical Donor for Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Acute Leukemia With Identical GVHD Prophylaxis - A Randomized Prospective European Trial.

Primary objective of this open label, two-arm, multicenter, multinational, randomized trial is to compare anti-leukemic activity of allogeneic stem cell transplantation for patients with acute leukemia in complete remission between a 10/10 HLA matched unrelated donor and a haploidentical donor.

The hypothesis: Haploidentical stem cell transplantation with post cyclophosphamide induces a stronger anti-leukemic activity in comparison to 10/10 HLA matched unrelated donor and reduces the risk of relapse at 2 years after stem cell transplantation by 10%.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Secondary objectives are to assess and compare the safety and efficacy of study treatments therapy in both study arms on non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse-free survival (RFS), Overall survival (OS), QOL, toxicity, development of acute and chronic GvDH as well as engraftment and chimerism and impact of measurable residual disease.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

The primary efficacy endpoint will be analyzed using cumulative incidence estimation to assess the subdistribution hazard rates for both treatment groups at two years after accounting for competing risk events.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival at two years between both arms
Time Frame: 2 years
The overall survival at two years between both arms will be presented with Kaplan-Meier's estimates of survival.
2 years
Overall survival for all patients assigned to one of the two treatment arms as time to event endpoint
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of two yeras

The overall survival for all patients will be presented with Kaplan-Meier curve. To compare the survival distributions between two arms, log-rank test will be performed, and two-sided p-values will be presented.

If applicable, Cox regression model stratified by the types of leukemia, types of complete remission and conditioning will be performed as sensitivity analysis.

Frequency and percentage of patients having full donor chimerism in two arms will be provided. For the comparison between two arms, logistic regression adjusted for the stratification factors will be performed.
At day 30, 100, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after allogenic SCT
Evaluation of Sorror Risk Score on outcome after allogeneic SCT
Time Frame: At baseline
Comorbidity score after Sorror will be assessed prior to randomization and outcome in both arms will be analyzed according the pre-transplant Sorror score.
At baseline
Comparison of QOL (FACT-BMT) before and after transplantation at + 100 days, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years between both arms
Time Frame: At day 100, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after allogenic SCT
The means of change in scores at each time point (day 100, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after transplantation respectively) from baseline and the confidence intervals of each arm will be presented. To compare the difference in QOL scores between both arms, logistic regression adjusted for covariates and stratification factors will be performed for each time point.
At day 100, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after allogenic SCT
