Summary

Unrelated Cord Blood (UCB) transplant in children is a viable stem cell transplant modality for patients with leukemia and myelodysplasia. UCB is now considered "Standard Of Care" in cases where a suitable living bone marrow donor is not available. The survival of UCB is similar to Matched Unrelated Marrow Transplant. This study is considered "Research" since UCB is not a licensed product and requires investigational new drug (IND). THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC RESEARCH QUESTIONS IN THIS PROTOCOL. This protocol merely provides UCB as a stem cell treatment modality to pediatric patients who may require it after a conditioning regimen that excludes Total Body Irradiation.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients must be up to 21 years of age
  • Patients cannot receive total body irradiation (TBI) because of:
  • Young age - = 5 abnormalities)
  • Requiring > 2 cycles chemotherapy to obtain CR;
  • Second or greater CR.
  • First relapse with 25% blasts on bone marrow examination on Day 14 of induction therapy)]; or,
  • Hypodiploidy ( 40%, or shortening fraction > 26%
  • Hepatic: Bilirubin ≤ 2.5 mg/dL; and alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and Alkaline Phosphatase ≤ 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Renal: Serum creatinine within normal range for age, or if serum creatinine outside normal range for age, then renal function (creatinine clearance or GFR) > 70 mL/min/1.73 m2.
  • Pulmonary: Diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO), Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), Forced vital capacity (FVC) (diffusion capacity) > 50% of predicted (corrected for hemoglobin); if unable to perform pulmonary function tests, then O2 saturation > 92% of room air.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Pregnant (B-positive HCG) or breastfeeding.
  • Evidence of HIV infection or HIV positive serology.
  • Current uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infection (currently taking medication and progression of clinical symptoms).
  • Autologous transplant < 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Prior autologous transplant for the disease for which the UCB transplant will be performed.
  • Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant < 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Active malignancy other than the one for which the UCB transplant is being performed within 12 months of enrollment
  • Active CNS leukemia.
  • Requirement of supplemental oxygen.
  • HLA-matched related donor able to donate.
