Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, natural killer cells, aldesleukin, and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of abnormal cells and cancer cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and methylprednisolone before and after transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving fludarabine and cyclophosphamide together with total-body irradiation followed by donor umbilical cord blood natural killer cells, aldesleukin, and umbilical cord blood transplant works in treating patients with refractory hematologic cancer or other diseases.

Phase 2

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the incidence of 6-month disease free survival. The primary laboratory objective is the measure of in vivo expansion of umbilical cord blood (UCB) derived natural killer cells (NK) after a fully ablative preparative regimen.

Secondary

  • Determine the incidence of transplant-related mortality at 6 months after NK UCB + double UCBT

  • Evaluate the pattern of chimerism after NK UCB + double UCBT

  • Determine the incidence of neutrophil engraftment at day 42 after NK UCB + double umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT)

  • Determine the incidence of platelet engraftment at 6 months after NK UCB + double UCBT

  • Determine the incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grade II-IV and grade III-IV at day 100 after NK UCB + double UCBT

  • Determine the incidence of chronic GVHD at 1 year after NK UCB + double UCBT

  • Determine the disease-free survival at 1 after NK UCB + double UCBT

  • Determine the incidence of relapse at 1 after NK UCB + double UCBT

OUTLINE: This is a single arm, nonrandomized, open-label study.

  • Myeloablative conditioning regimen: Patients receive fludarabine intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days -18 to -16 and cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) on days -18 and -17. Patients undergo total-body irradiation twice daily on days -16 to -13.

  • Haploidentical umbilical cord blood (UCB) natural killer (NK) cell therapy and aldesleukin: Patients undergo haploidentical UCB-enriched NK cell (CD3- depleted) infusion on day -13. Patients then receive aldesleukin subcutaneously on days -13, -11, -9, -7, -5, and -3. Some patients may also receive methylprednisolone IV on days -1 and

  • UCB transplantation (UCBT): Patients undergo a single or double UCBT on day 0. Beginning on day 1, patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) IV once daily until blood counts recover.

  • Graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive cyclosporine IV over 2 hours 2-3 times daily beginning on day -1 and continuing until day 100, followed by a taper until day 180. Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil IV or orally 2-3 times daily beginning on day -1 and continuing until day 30 (or 7 days after engraftment) in the absence of acute GVHD.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Treated Patients

All patients receiving treatment with chemotherapy and radiation, along with natural killer cells, aldesleukin and umbilical cord blood transplant.

Biological: aldesleukin
10 Million units subcutaneous every other day on days -13 (after Natural killer cell graft), -11, -9, -7, -5, -3) If < 45 kilograms (Kg) - interleukin (IL)-2 at 5 MU/m2
Other Names:
  • IL-2
  • interleukin-2
  • Biological: filgrastim
    All patients will receive filgrastim (same as granulocyte-colony stimulating factor or G-CSF) 5 mcg/kg/day intravenous (IV) (dose rounded to vial size) based on the actual body weight beginning on day +1 after umbilical cord blood (UCB) infusion. Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) will be administered daily until the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) exceeds 2.5 x 10^9/L for three consecutive days and then discontinued. If the ANC decreases to <1.0 x 10^9/L, G-CSF will be reinstituted.
    Other Names:
  • granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)
  • Biological: natural killer cell (NK) therapy
    All CD3 depleted cells will be given (less those required for product monitoring). The minimum size of a starting NK cell unit will be 700 million mononuclear cells before processing. NK cells (CD56+) and NK cell precursors (CD34+/CD7-, CD34+/CD7+, CD34-/CD7+) will be monitored and reported but will not serve as lot release.
    Other Names:
  • NK cells
  • Drug: cyclophosphamide
    Cyclophosphamide to be administered with high volume fluid flush and mesna on days-18 and -17 after fludarabine. Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg/day intravenously (IV) x 2 days, total dose 120 mg/m2 (days -18 and -17)
    Other Names:
  • Cytoxan
  • Drug: cyclosporine
    Patients will receive cyclosporine (CSA) therapy beginning on day -1 maintaining a level of >200 ng/mL. For adults the initial dose will be 2.5 mg/kg intravenously (IV) over 2 hours every 12 hours. For children <40 kg the initial dose will be 2.5 mg/kg IV over 2 hours every 8 hours.

    This modification will be enacted based on the engraftment stopping rule on all subsequent patients to stop natural killer (NK) cell reaction. Methylprednisolone bolus 1000 mg intravenously (IV) will be administered day -1 and day 0 (before umbilical cord blood transplant) to suppress natural killer (NK) cell activity before transplant. Starting cyclosporin and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) will also contribute to suppressing residual NK cell activity.
    Other Names:
  • Medrol
  • Solu-Medrol
  • Depo-Medrol
  • methylprednisolone sodium succinate
  • Drug: mycophenolate mofetil
    All patients will begin mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on day -1. Patients ≥ 45 kilograms will receive MMF at the dose of 3 grams/day divided into 2 or 3 doses.

      Number of patients who were alive and free of disease (malignancy) at 6 months after transplant.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants (Patients) Who Were Disease-free and Alive at 12 Months [12 Months Post transplant]

      Number of patients who were alive and free of disease (malignancy) at 12 months after transplant.

    2. Number of Patients Who Were Disease-free and Alive at 24 Months [24 Months Post transplant]

      Number of patients who were alive and free of disease (malignancy) at 24 months after transplant.

    3. Number of Participants (Patients) Who Died Due to Transplant. [6 Months Post Transplant]

      Patients who had transplant-related mortality (TRM). TRM = adverse event(s) that occur(s) after the patient has received a transplant, the principal investigator decides it is related to the procedure and the patient dies within 6 months.

    4. Number of Participants (Patients) Who Attained Neutrophil Engraftment [Day 42 Post Transplant]

      Defined as absolute neutrophils (ANC) > 5 x 10^8/Liter for 3 consecutive days. ANC is the real number of white blood cells (WBCs) that are neutrophils. The absolute neutrophil count is commonly called the ANC. The ANC is not measured directly. It is derived by multiplying the WBC count times the percent of neutrophils in the differential WBC count. The percent of neutrophils consists of the segmented (fully mature) neutrophils) + the bands (almost mature neutrophils). The normal range for the ANC = 1.5 to 8.0 (1,500 to 8,000/mm3).

    5. Number of Participants (Patients) Who Attained Platelet Engraftment [1 Year Post Transplant]

      Platelet engraftment is defined as platelet counts > 50 x 10^9/Liter for 3 consecutive days.

    6. Number of Participants (Patients) With Acute Graft-versus-host Disease (GVHD) Grade II-IV [Day 100 Post Transplant]

      Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of transplantation in which functional immune cells in the transplanted marrow recognize the recipient as foreign and mount an immunologic attack. The acute or fulminant form of the disease (aGVHD) is normally observed within the first 100 days post-transplant, and is a major challenge to transplants owing to associated morbidity and mortality. Acute GVHD is staged as follows: overall grade (skin-liver-gut) with each organ staged individually from a low of I to a high of IV. Patients with grade IV GVHD usually have a poor prognosis.

    7. Number of Participants (Patients) With Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease at Grade III-IV [Day 100 post transplant]

      Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of transplantation in which functional immune cells in the transplanted marrow recognize the recipient as foreign and mount an immunologic attack. The acute or fulminant form of the disease (aGVHD) is normally observed within the first 100 days post-transplant, and is a major challenge to transplants owing to associated morbidity and mortality. Acute GVHD is staged as follows: overall grade (skin-liver-gut) with each organ staged individually from a low of I to a high of IV. Patients with grade IV GVHD usually have a poor prognosis.

    8. Number of Participants (Patients) With Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease [Day 100 through 1 Year Post Transplant]

      The chronic form of graft-versus-host-disease (cGVHD) normally occurs after 100 days. The appearance of moderate to severe cases of cGVHD adversely influences long-term survival.

    9. Number of Participants (Patients) Who Died by 12 Months [1 year Post Transplant]

      Number of patients who died after receiving treatment within 12 months post transplant.

    10. Number of Participants (Patients) Who Died by 24 Months [2 years post-transplant]

    11. Number of Participants (Patients) Who Experienced Relapse by 12 Months [1 Year Post Transplant]

      Number of patients who experienced recurrence or progression of disease from the time of transplant.

    12. Number of Participants (Patients) Who Experienced Relapse by 24 Months [2 Years Post transplant]

      Number of patients who experienced recurrence or progression of disease from the time of transplant.

    13. Number of Participants (Patients) With Successful Natural Killer Cell Expansion [10-13 Days Post Infusion]

      Defined by an absolute circulating donor-derived natural killer cell count of >100 cells/microliter 10-13 days after infusion with <5% donor T and B cells in the mononuclear population

    14. Chimerism After Double Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant (UCBT) [Day 21, Day 100, 6 Months]

      Calculation of Median (range) of percentage of donor cells engrafted (present) in the recipient (patient).
