Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?This trial studies a new treatment for patients with certain types of blood cancer that have returned or are not responding to treatment. The process includes treatments to clear out unhealthy cells, followed by a transplant of healthy cells from a donor to help rebuild the patient's blood cells.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it mentions that controlling blast count with hydroxyurea or a similar agent is allowed, which suggests some medications might be continued. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Astatine At 211 Anti-CD45 Monoclonal Antibody BC8-B10, Cyclophosphamide, Cytoxan, Neosar, Endoxan, Mycophenolate Mofetil, Cellcept, Myfortic, Tacrolimus, FK506, Prograf, Advagraf, Astagraf XL for leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome?
Research on similar treatments, like radioimmunotherapy with radiolabeled antibodies, shows that targeting specific cells with radiation can improve outcomes in leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome by delivering more radiation to the bone marrow while minimizing side effects. This approach has been associated with reduced relapse rates and manageable toxicity, suggesting potential effectiveness for the treatment in question.
12345Is the combination of radioimmunotherapy and stem cell transplant generally safe for humans?
Studies show that radioimmunotherapy combined with stem cell transplant is generally well tolerated in humans, with manageable side effects. Some patients experienced mild infusion-related reactions and late kidney issues, but overall treatment-related mortality was low, and the approach was considered feasible and safe.
12567What makes the treatment with Astatine At 211 Anti-CD45 Monoclonal Antibody BC8-B10 unique for leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome?
This treatment is unique because it uses astatine-211, an alpha-particle-emitting radionuclide, which delivers high radiation doses over short distances, allowing for precise targeting and killing of leukemia cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Rhenium 188-labeled anti-CD66 (a, b, c, e) monoclonal antibody to intensify the conditioning regimen prior to stem cell transplantation for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome: results of a phase I-II study. [2021]The conditioning regimen prior to stem cell transplantation in 36 patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) was intensified by treating patients with a rhenium 188-labeled anti-CD66 monoclonal antibody. Dosimetry was performed prior to therapy, and a favorable dosimetry was observed in all cases. Radioimmunotherapy with the labeled antibody provided a mean of 15.3 Gy of additional radiation to the marrow; the kidney was the normal organ receiving the highest dose of supplemental radiation (mean 7.4 Gy). Radioimmunotherapy was followed by standard full-dose conditioning with total body irradiation (12 Gy) or busulfan and high-dose cyclophosphamide with or without thiotepa. Patients subsequently received a T-cell-depleted allogeneic graft from a HLA-identical family donor (n = 15) or an alternative donor (n = 17). In 4 patients without an allogeneic donor, an unmanipulated autologous graft was used. Infusion-related toxicity due to the labeled antibody was minimal, and no increase in treatment-related mortality due to the radioimmunoconjugate was observed. Day +30 and day +100 mortalities were 3% and 6%, respectively, and after a median follow-up of 18 months treatment-related mortality was 22%. Late renal toxicity was observed in 17% of patients. The relapse rate of 15 patients undergoing transplantation in first CR (complete remission) or second CR was 20%; 21 patients not in remission at the time of transplantation had a 30% relapse rate.

188Re-labeled anti-CD66 monoclonal antibody in stem cell transplantation for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia. [2019]We have intensified the conditioning regimen prior to stem cell transplantation in 57 patients with high-risk AML and MDS by treating patients with a 188Re-labeled anti-CD66 monoclonal antibody. Dosimetry was performed prior to therapy and a favorable dosimetry was observed in all cases. Radioimmunotherapy with the labeled antibody provided a mean of 15.5 Gy of additional radiation to the marrow, the kidney was the normal organ receiving the highest dose of supplemental radiation (mean 7.4 Gy): Radioimmunotherapy was followed by standard full-dose conditioning with total body irradiation (12 Gy) (n = 30) or busulfan (n = 27) and high-dose cyclophosphamide +/- thiotepa. Patients subsequently received a T cell depleted allogeneic graft from a HLA-compatible family donor (n = 24), a matched unrelated donor (n = 23) or a haploidentical family donor (n = 6). In four patients, an unmanipulated autologous graft was used. Infusion-related toxicity due to the labeled antibody was minimal and no increase in treatment-related mortality due to the radioimmunoconjugate was observed. Day +30 and day +100 mortalities were 3 and 7%, respectively, and after a median follow-up of 26 months treatment-related mortality was 30%. Late renal toxicity was observed in 14% of patients.

Targeted Radiation Delivery Before Haploidentical HCT for High-risk Leukemia or MDS Patients Yields Long-Term Survivors. [2023]Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has curative potential for myeloid malignancies, though many patients cannot tolerate myeloablative conditioning with high-dose chemotherapy alone or with total-body irradiation (TBI). Here we report long-term outcomes from a phase 1/2 study using iodine-131 (131I)-anti-CD45 antibody BC8 combined with nonmyeloablative conditioning prior to HLA-haploidentical HCT in adults with high-risk relapsed/ refractory acute myeloid or lymphoid leukemia (AML and ALL), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) [ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00589316].
Radiolabeled anti-CD45 monoclonal antibodies target lymphohematopoietic tissue in the macaque. [2021]Despite bone marrow transplantation, many patients with advanced leukemia subsequently relapse. If an additional increment of radiation could be delivered to lymphohematopoietic tissues with relative specificity, the relapse rate may decrease without a marked increase in toxicity. We have examined the biodistribution of two 131I-labeled monoclonal antibodies reactive with the CD45 antigen in Macaca nemestrina. Three animals received 0.5 mg/kg BC8, an IgG1 of low avidity (6 x 10(7) L/mol). Three received 0.5 mg/kg AC8, an IgG2a of moderate avidity (5 x 10(8) L/mol), and two received 4.5 mg/kg AC8. Estimates of radiation absorbed dose demonstrated that these antibodies could deliver up to five times more radiation to lymph nodes, and up to 2.6 times more to bone marrow, than to lung or liver. The higher avidity AC8 antibody at 0.5 mg/kg was cleared more rapidly from blood and resulted in lower antibody uptake in lymph nodes than did BC8 at 0.5 mg/kg. Increasing the dose of AC8 to 4.5 mg/kg resulted in slower blood clearance and higher lymph node uptake. These studies suggest that radiolabeled anti-CD45 antibodies can deliver radiation with relative specificity to lymphohematopoietic tissues. This approach, in combination with marrow transplantation, may improve treatment of hematologic malignancies.
Optimization of Radiolabeling of a [90Y]Y-Anti-CD66-Antibody for Radioimmunotherapy before Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation. [2023]For patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or acute lymphoblastic leukemia, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a potentially curative treatment. In addition to standard conditioning regimens for HCT, high-dose radioimmunotherapy (RIT) offers the unique opportunity to selectively deliver a high dose of radiation to the bone marrow while limiting side effects. Modification of a CD66b-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) with a DTPA-based chelating agent should improve the absorbed dose distribution during therapy. The stability and radioimmunoreactive fraction of the radiolabeled mAbs were determined. Before RIT, all patients underwent dosimetry to determine absorbed doses to bone marrow, kidneys, liver, and spleen. Scans were performed twenty-four hours after therapy for quality control. A radiochemical purity of >95% and acceptable radioimmunoreactivity was achieved. Absorbed organ doses for the liver and kidney were consequently improved compared to reported historical data. All patients tolerated RIT well with no treatment-related acute adverse events. Complete remission could be observed in 4/5 of the patients 3 months after RIT. Two patients developed delayed liver failure unrelated to the radioimmunotherapy. The improved conjugation and radiolabeling procedure resulted in excellent stability, radiochemical purity, and CD66-specific radioimmunoreactivity of 90Y-labeled anti-CD66 mAb. RIT followed by conditioning and HCT was well tolerated. Based on these promising initial data, further prospective studies of [90Y]Y-DTPA-Bn-CHX-A″-anti-CD66-mAb-assisted conditioning in HCT are warranted.
131I-anti-CD45 antibody plus busulfan and cyclophosphamide before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia in first remission. [2021]In an attempt to improve outcomes for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), we conducted a phase 1/2 study in which targeted irradiation delivered by 131I-anti-CD45 antibody was combined with targeted busulfan (BU; area-under-curve, 600-900 ng/mL) and cyclophosphamide (CY; 120 mg/kg). Fifty-two (88%) of 59 patients receiving a trace 131I-labeled dose of 0.5 mg/kg anti-CD45 murine antibody had higher estimated absorbed radiation in bone marrow and spleen than in any other organ. Forty-six patients were treated with 102 to 298 mCi (3774-11 026 MBq) 131I, delivering an estimated 5.3 to 19 (mean, 11.3) Gy to marrow, 17-72 (mean, 29.7) Gy to spleen, and 3.5 Gy (n = 4) to 5.25 Gy (n = 42) to the liver. The estimated 3-year nonrelapse mortality and disease-free survival (DFS) were 21% and 61%, respectively. These results were compared with those from 509 similar International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry patients who underwent transplantation using BU/CY alone. After adjusting for differences in age and cytogenetics risk, the hazard of mortality among all antibody-treated patients was 0.65 times that of the Registry patients (95% CI 0.39-1.08; P = .09). The addition of targeted hematopoietic irradiation to conventional BU/CY is feasible and well tolerated, and phase 2 results are sufficiently encouraging to warrant further study.
Biodistributions, myelosuppression, and toxicities in mice treated with an anti-CD45 antibody labeled with the alpha-emitting radionuclides bismuth-213 or astatine-211. [2021]We previously investigated the potential of targeted radiotherapy using a bismuth-213 ((213)Bi)-labeled anti-CD45 antibody to replace total body irradiation as conditioning for hematopoietic cell transplantation in a canine model. Although this approach allowed sustained marrow engraftment, limited availability, high cost, and short half-life of (213)Bi induced us to investigate an alternative alpha-emitting radionuclide, astatine-211 ((211)At), for the same application. Biodistribution and toxicity studies were conducted with conjugates of the anti-murine CD45 antibody 30F11 with either (213)Bi or (211)At. Mice were injected with 2 to 50 muCi on 10 microg or 20 muCi on 2 or 40 microg of 30F11 conjugate. Biodistribution studies showed that the spleen contained the highest concentration of radioactivity, ranging from 167 +/- 23% to 417 +/- 109% injected dose/gram (% ID/g) after injection of the (211)At conjugate and 45 +/- 9% to 166 +/- 11% ID/g after injection of the (213)Bi conjugate. The higher concentrations observed for (211)At-labeled 30F11 were due to its longer half-life, which permitted better localization of isotope to the spleen before decay. (211)At was more effective at producing myelosuppression for the same quantity of injected radioactivity. All mice injected with 20 or 50 muCi (211)At, but none with the same quantities of (213)Bi, had lethal myeloablation. Severe reversible acute hepatic toxicity occurred with 50 muCi (213)Bi, but not with lower doses of (213)Bi or with any dose of (211)At. No renal toxicity occurred with either radionuclide. The data suggest that smaller quantities of (211)At-labeled anti-CD45 antibody are sufficient to achieve myelosuppression and myeloablation with less nonhematologic toxicity compared with (213)Bi-labeled antibody.
Development of [211At]astatine-based anti-CD123 radioimmunotherapy for acute leukemias and other CD123+ malignancies. [2023]Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) has long been pursued to improve outcomes in acute leukemia and higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Of increasing interest are alpha-particle-emitting radionuclides such as astatine-211 (211At) as they deliver large amounts of radiation over just a few cell diameters, enabling efficient and selective target cell kill. Here, we developed 211At-based RIT targeting CD123, an antigen widely displayed on acute leukemia and MDS cells including underlying neoplastic stem cells. We generated and characterized new murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for human CD123 and selected four, all of which were internalized by CD123+ target cells, for further characterization. All mAbs could be conjugated to a boron cage, isothiocyanatophenethyl-ureido-closo-decaborate(2-) (B10), and labeled with 211At. CD123+ cell targeting studies in immunodeficient mice demonstrated specific uptake of 211At-labeled anti-CD123 mAbs in human CD123+ MOLM-13 cell tumors in the flank. In mice injected intravenously with MOLM-13 cells or a CD123NULL MOLM-13 subline, a single dose of up to 40 µCi of 211At delivered via anti-CD123 mAb decreased tumor burdens and substantially prolonged survival dose dependently in mice bearing CD123+ but not CD123- leukemia xenografts, demonstrating potent and target-specific in vivo anti-leukemia efficacy. These data support the further development of 211At-CD123 RIT toward clinical application.
Radioimmunotherapy-based conditioning for hematopoietic cell transplantation in children with malignant and nonmalignant diseases. [2021]Targeted irradiation of the bone marrow with radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (radioimmunotherapy) represents a novel therapeutic approach with both myeloablative and antileukemic potential. In an open-label, single-center pilot study, 30 pediatric and adolescent patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation for malignant (n = 16) and nonmalignant (n = 14) disorders received treatment with a ⁹⁰Y-labeled anti-CD66 monoclonal antibody. Patients with a high risk of relapse (n = 7) received additional treatment with standard conditioning based on either total body irradiation or busulfan to intensify the antileukemic effect. In patients with comorbidities (n = 23), radioimmunotherapy was combined with a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen to reduce systemic toxicity. Preferential irradiation of the bone marrow was achieved in all patients. Nonrelapse mortality was 4 (13%) of 30 patients. In patients with malignant diseases, the probabilities of overall and disease-free survival at 2 years were 0.69 (95% confidence interval 0.37-0.87) and 0.46 (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.70), respectively. In patients with nonmalignant diseases, the probability of both overall and disease-free survival at 2 years was 0.94 (95% confidence interval 0.63-0.99). This pilot study demonstrates that radioimmunotherapy is effective in achieving myeloablation with low additional toxicity when used in combination with standard or reduced-intensity conditioning in young patients.
Cytoreduction with iodine-131-anti-CD33 antibodies before bone marrow transplantation for advanced myeloid leukemias. [2013]The monoclonal antibodies M195 and HuM195 target CD33, a glycoprotein found on myeloid leukemia cells. When labeled with iodine-131 ((131)I), these antibodies can eliminate large disease burdens and produce prolonged myelosuppression. We studied whether (131)I-labeled M195 and HuM195 could be combined safely with busulfan and cyclophosphamide (BuCy) as conditioning for allogeneic BMT. A total of 31 patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloloid leukemia (AML) (n=16), accelerated/myeloblastic chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) (n=14), or advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (n=1) received (131)I-M195 or (131)I-HuM195 (122-437 mCi) plus busulfan (16 mg/kg) and cyclophosphamide (90-120 mg/kg) followed by infusion of related-donor bone marrow (27 first BMT; four second BMT). Hyperbilirubinemia was the most common extramedullary toxicity, occurring in 69% of patients during the first 28 days after BMT. Gamma camera imaging showed targeting of the radioisotope to the bone marrow, liver, and spleen, with absorbed radiation doses to the marrow of 272-1470 cGy. The median survival was 4.9 months (range 0.3-90+ months). Three patients with relapsed AML remain in complete remission 59+, 87+, and 90+ months following bone marrow transplantation (BMT). These studies show the feasibility of adding CD33-targeted radioimmunotherapy to a standard BMT preparative regimen; however, randomized trials will be needed to prove a benefit to intensified conditioning with radioimmunotherapy.
