Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of chemotherapy and low-dose radiation to see if it is safe and effective in treating bone marrow cancer. The CliniMACS device is approved for one type of T cell depletion but not the type being studied in this trial. This trial will help determine if the CliniMACS device should be approved for the other type of T cell depletion.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain high-risk blood cancers or severe aplastic anemia who haven't had a previous stem cell transplant. They should be responding to current therapy, have adequate organ function, and not be pregnant or HIV positive. A detailed consent form must be signed indicating willingness to participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new low-intensity combination of chemotherapy with low-dose radiation before a T cell depleted allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The goal is to determine safety and effectiveness in curing bone marrow cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions from the chemotherapy like nausea, fatigue, risk of infection due to immune suppression, possible organ inflammation from radiation exposure, and complications related to stem cell transplantation.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Patients with Myeloid Malignancies & Aplastic AnemiaExperimental Treatment6 Interventions
Transplant conditioning will consist of: ATG (2 mg/kg/day IV on days-8 through-6), fludarabine (30 mg/m^2/d on days -5 through -2), TBI 400 cGy in 2 divided doses (days -2 and -1) and high dose cyclophosphamide given post stem cell infusion (50 mg/kg on days +3 and +4). One dose of Rituxan (200 mg/m^2) will be given to reduce the risk of EBV viremia. The donor stem cell product will be derived from the peripheral blood with a target cell infusion of ≥8X10^6 CD34 cells per recipient kg. Patients will receive post-transplant G-CSF starting on day +7. Patients will undergo donor/recipient bone marrow and peripheral chimerism studies at 30 and 100, and 6, 12, 18 and 24 months post allo HCT and thereafter, at the discretion of the treating clinician. Immune function and disease restaging will be performed at day 100 and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months and as otherwise clinically indicated by the treating physician.
