Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: No ATG Hematologic malignancy patients who have received a previous autologous transplant or ≥ 2 cycles of multi-agent chemotherapy within the 3 months previous to umbilical cord blood transplantation. |
Drug: Fludarabine

Other Names:
Drug: MMF
Both Arms:
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 3 gram/day IV/PO for patients who are ≥ 40 kg divided in 2 or 3 doses. In obese patients (>125% IBW) 15 mg/kg every 12 hours may be considered. Pediatric patient (<40 kilograms) will receive MMF at the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose every 8 hours beginning Day -3. MMF dosing will be monitored and altered as clinically appropriate based on institutional guidelines. Patients will be eligible for MMF dosing and pharmacokinetics studies.

-
Eligible Diseases All diseases listed below are advanced hematologic malignancies not curable by conventional chemotherapy. Responses to conventional treatment range from zero to 30% but are typically short lived.
-
Acute Leukemias: Must be in remission by morphology (<5% blasts). Note cytogenetic relapse or persistent disease without morphologic relapse is acceptable. Also a small percentage of blasts that is equivocal between marrow regeneration vs. early relapse are acceptable provided there are no associated cytogenetic markers consistent with relapse.
-
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and related precursor neoplasms: 2nd or greater complete remission (CR); first complete remission (CR1) in patients > 60 years old; CR1 in ≤ 60 years old that is NOT considered as favorable-risk.
Favorable risk AML is defined as having one of the following:
-
t(8,21) without cKIT mutation
-
inv(16) or t(16;16) without cKIT mutation
-
Normal karyotype with mutated NPM1 and wild type FLT-ITD
-
Normal karyotype with double mutated CEBPA
-
Acute prolymphocytic leukemia (APL) in first molecular remission at the end of consolidation
-
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)/lymphoma: second or greater CR; CR1 unable to tolerate consolidation chemotherapy due to chemotherapy-related toxicities; CR1 high-risk ALL. High risk ALL is defined as having one of the following:
-
Evidence of high risk cytogenetics, e.g. t(9;22), t(1;19), t(4;11), other MLL rearrangements, IKZF1
-
30 years of age or older at diagnosis
-

-
Myelodysplastic syndrome: IPSS INT-2 or High Risk; R-IPSS High or Very High; WHO classification: RAEB-1, RAEB-2; Severe Cytopenias: ANC < 0.8, Anemia or thrombocytopenia requiring transfusion; Poor or very poor risk cytogenetics based on IPSS or R-IPSS definitions; therapy-related MDS. Blasts must be < 5% by bone marrow aspirate morphology. If ≥5% blasts, patient requires chemotherapy for cytoreduction to <5% blasts prior to transplantation.
-
MRD positive leukemia (AML, ALL or accelerated/blast phase CML). Selected patients in morphologic CR, but with positive immunophenotypic (flow cytometry) or molecular evidence of MRD may be eligible if recent chemotherapy has not resulted in MRD negative status.
-
Leukemia or MDS in aplasia. These patients may be taken to transplant if after induction therapy they remain with aplastic bone marrow and no morphological or flow-cytometry evidence of disease ≥ 28 days post-therapy. These high risk patients will be analyzed separately.
-
Burkitt's lymphoma in CR2 or subsequent CR
-
Relapsed T-Cell Lymphoma that is chemotherapy sensitive in CR/PR that has failed or ineligible for an autologous transplant.
-
Natural killer cell malignancies
-
Large-cell lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma with chemotherapy sensitive disease who are ineligible for an autologous transplant.
-
Relapsed Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma which have progressed within 12 months of achieving a partial or complete remission. Patients who had remissions lasting > 12 months, are eligible after at least two prior therapies. Patients with bulky disease should be considered for debulking chemotherapy before transplant. Patients with refractory disease are eligible, unless bulky disease and an estimated tumor doubling time of less than one month.
-
Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, mantle-cell lymphoma, prolymphocytic leukemia are eligible after initial therapy if chemotherapy sensitive.
-
Relapsed Multiple Myeloma that is chemotherapy sensitive and has failed or ineligible for an autologous transplant.

-
Acquired Bone marrow failure syndromes, except for Fanconi anemia
-
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms/Myelofibrosis
-
Other Leukemia Subtypes: A major effort in the field of hematology is to identify patients who are of high risk for treatment failure so that patients can be appropriately stratified to either more (or less) intensive therapy. This effort is continually ongoing and retrospective studies identify new disease features or characteristics that are associated with treatment outcomes. Therefore, if new features are identified after the writing of this protocol, patients can be enrolled with the approval of two members of the study committee.
-
Additional Criteria for Bulky Disease (lymphomas)
-
If stable disease is best response, the largest residual nodal mass must < 5 cm (approximately)
-
If response to previous therapy, the largest residual mass must represent a 50% reduction and be < 7.5 cm (approximately)
-
Organ Function Criteria
Adequate organ function is defined as:

-
Pulmonary: DLCO, FEV1, FVC ≥ 40% predicted, and absence of O2 requirements. For children that are not able to cooperate with PFTs, a pulse oximetry with exercise should be attempted. If neither test can be obtained it should be clearly stated in the physician's note.
