Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Investigators hypothesize that combination of ATLG with PTCy in matched or mismatched unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation will reduce acute and chronic GVHD incidence. Furthermore it will allow shortening of the length of post-transplantation immunosuppression with calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) administration (currently administrated in addition to ATG as GVHD prophylaxis in daily common practice)

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Anticipated Enrollment :
30 participants
Allocation:
N/A
Intervention Model:
Single Group Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
The patients will get conventional GVHD prophylaxis consisting of ATLG 15mg/kg total (5mg/kg day) on days -3 to -1 pre transplantation. Cyclophosphamide at 25mg/kg dose will be administrated at day +3 post infusion of the stem cell (SC) graft to the first 3 patients. If no > grade II toxicity* occurs, the next 3 patients will receive cyclophosphamide at 25mg/kg dose at day +3 and +4 post SC graft infusion. If no > grade II toxicity*occurs, the next 3 patients will receive cyclophosphamide at 37.5 mg/kg dose at day +3 and +4 post SC graft infusion. If no > grade II toxicity* occurs, the next 3 patients will receive the target dose of cyclophosphamide at 50 mg/kg dose on day +3 and +4 post SC graft infusion. The residual 18 patients will receive cyclophosphamide at the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) established in the first part of the study. Patients will also receive GVHD prophylaxis consisting of a cyclosporine and cellcept starting on day +5 after transplantation.The patients will get conventional GVHD prophylaxis consisting of ATLG 15mg/kg total (5mg/kg day) on days -3 to -1 pre transplantation.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: cyclophosphamide and ATLG

The study will include 2 phases. In the first phase escalated doses of post-transplant cyclophosphamide up to a maximal dose of 50 mg/kg administered on day +3 and +4 (target dose) will be added to a standard GVHD prophylaxis consisting of anti-human T-lymphocyte immunoglobulin (ATLG, Grafalon®, formerly ATG-Fresenius S, Neovii Pharmaceuticals) 15mg/kg total (5mg/kg day) on days -3 to -1 pre transplantation in order to find the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in combination with pre-transplant immunosuppression by ATLG. The second phase will use the MTD cyclophosphamide dose identified in the first phase.

Drug: Cyclophosphamide
In the first phase escalated doses of post-transplant cyclophosphamide up to a maximal dose of 50 mg/kg , the second phase will use the MTD cyclophosphamide dose identified in the first phase.

Drug: anti-human T-lymphocyte immunoglobulin (ATLG)
15mg/kg total (5mg/kg day) on days -3 to -1 pre transplantation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Overal survival [24 months]

    Overall survival will be calculated from the day of SCT until death or last follow-up. OS will be determined using Kaplan-Meyer product limit method.

  2. Disease-free survival [24 months]

    Disease-free survival will be calculated from the day of SCT until relapse, death of any cause, or last follow-up. DFS will be determined using Kaplan-Meyer product limit method.
