Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of an investigational treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after the first therapy (such as azacitidine or decitabine) stops working or after progression of MDS to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Funding source - FDA OOPD.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: CD8 Depleted, Non-engrafting,HLA mismatched unrelated donor lymphocytes
  • Drug: Standard of Care Chemotherapy
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of an investigational treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after the first therapy (such as azacitidine or decitabine) stops working or after progression of MDS to acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Patients with advanced MDS are treated with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) such as azacitidine or decitabine. These medications can be effective for a few months to a few years, but usually lose effect eventually. This study is attempting to design a therapy called "non-engrafting, CD8 depleted donor lymphocyte infusion" or "NE-DLI" as a treatment for these diseases.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose of CD8 depleted non-engrafting HLA-mismatched unrelated donor lymphocytes infusion (NE-DLI) [Up to 60 days per dose level]

    Maximum Tolerated Dose will be determined by testing increasing doses of CD8 depleted non-engrafting HLA-mismatched unrelated donor lymphocytes infusion (NE-DLI).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Overall Response Rate [Up to 12 months]

    Overall Response Rate is defined as Complete Response + Partial Response using RECIST v1.1 criteria.

  2. Progression Free Survival [Up to 12 months]

    Progression Free Survival is defined as the time from enrollment to date of progression or death, or censor at last follow-up date.

  3. Overall Survival [Up to 12 months]

    Overall Survival is defined as the time from study enrollment to death from any cause or censored at last follow up date

  4. Hematologic Response [Up to 12 months]

    Hematologic response will be determined using International Working Group 2006 criteria for MDS patients and the International Working Group 2003 criteria for AML

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years to 79 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) having failed hypomethylating agent (HMA) therapy cohort:
  • Age 18-79 years, inclusive

  • Pathologically confirmed MDS or myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative overlap (MDS/MPN)

  • IPSS-R score intermediate, high or very high

  • Must have failed therapy with an HMA (defined as lack of response by International Working Group criteria (1) or intolerance of the drug)

Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia (sAML):
  • Pathologically confirmed AML according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria

  • Evidence of an antecedent hematologic disorder (AHD) prior to acute leukemia including a known prior diagnosis of MDS, MPN or MDS/MPN or data suggestive of an AHD such as cytopenias, fibrosis, macrocytic anemia, cellular or dysplasia at or prior to the time of diagnosis. If available, MDS-defining karyotypes (-7/del(7q), -5/del(5q), del(13q), del(11q), del(12p), t(12p), del(9q), idic(X)(q13), t(17p) (unbalanced translocations) or i(17q) (ie, loss of 17p), t(11;16)(q23;p13.3), t(3;21)(q26.2;q22.1), t(1;3)(p36.3;q21), t(2;11)(p21;q23), inv(3)(q21q26.2), t(6;9)(p23;q34)) or somatic mutations in multiple genes including p53, TET2, JAK2, CALR, MPL, ASXL1, RUNX1, SRSF2, SF3B1, U2AF1, ZRSR2, ASXL1, EZH2, BCOR, or STAG2 would also confirm eligibility.

  • Age 60-79 years, inclusive

  • May be previously untreated

For both cohorts:
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2

  • Deemed eligible to receive cytotoxic chemotherapy

  • Creatinine clearance (CrCl)>50ml/min

  • Total bilirubin <2 mg/dL (except for patients with Gilbert's disease), AST and ALT < 3x ULN

  • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction ≥ 50%

  • Willing and able to participate in study assessments

Exclusion Criteria:
  • Patients who have had systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier. Hydroxyurea during this period may be given as a bridging therapy to maintain disease stability while awaiting treatment. Intrathecal chemotherapy within this time frame is permitted. Intrathecal chemotherapy may be continued during protocol therapy in order to consolidate or maintain a central nervous system (CNS) remission, but not to treat active CNS disease

  • Acute promyelocytic leukemia, or the presence of t(15;17)

  • Patients receiving any other investigational agents

  • Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing and uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in the fetus. Breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study

  • Patients who have any debilitating medical or psychiatric illness that would preclude their giving informed consent or their receiving optimal treatment and follow-up

  • Patients with a poor functional status of ECOG 3-4, or otherwise deemed unfit to tolerate induction chemotherapy.

  • Patients with blastic transformation of chronic myelogenous leukemia are ineligible

  • Exposure to a humanized mouse chimeric antibody, as this could sensitize patients to components of the CD8 depletion column that may be present in small amounts in the cell product

  • Prior allogenic hematopoietic cell transplant
