Summary

In the United States, thiotepa has been utilized in reduced intensity conditioning regimens for alternative donor courses (double umbilical cord blood transplant (dUCBT) and haplo-identical transplants). The hypothesis is that thiotepa at a dose of 10mg/kg, in combination with melphalan (100mg/m2) and fludarabine (160mg/m2) as a reduced intensity conditioning regimen for alternative donor transplant is safe and effective in patients with hematologic malignancies. Given that this regimen has been investigated extensively, and the current study proposes to confirm those previous observations with a small modification (melphalan dose reduction due to previous mucositis rates with higher doses), this will be a phase II study designed to measure disease-free-survival.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients with the following hematologic malignancies:
  • Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML): High-risk AML including:
  • Antecedent hematological disease (e.g., myelodysplasia (MDS))
  • Treatment-related leukemia
  • Complete Remission (CR1) with poor-risk cytogenetics or molecular markers (e.g. Flt 3 mutation, 11q23, del 5, del 7, complex cytogenetics)
  • Second complete remission (CR2) or third complete remission (CR3)
  • Induction failure or 1st relapse with ≤ 10% blasts in the marrow
  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
  • High-risk CR1 including:
  • Poor-risk cytogenetics (e.g., Philadelphia chromosome t(9;22)or 11q23 rearrangements)
  • Presence of minimal disease by flow cytometry after 2 or more cycles of chemotherapy
  • No CR within 4 weeks of initial treatment
  • Induction failure with ≤ 10% blasts in the marrow
  • CR2 or CR3
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), Intermediate, High or Very High Risk by the revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R)
  • Mixed Phenotypic Leukemia / Biphenotypic Leukemiain CR
  • Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) in second chronic phase after accelerated or blast crisis.
  • Myelofibrosis (MF):
  • Intermediate-1, Intermediate-2 or high risk by Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS-plus) or
  • Monosomal karyotype or
  • Presence of inv(3)/i(17q) abnormalities or
  • Other unfavorable karyotype OR leukocytes ≥40 × 10(9) /L and
  • Circulating blasts ≤ 9%
  • Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia
  • Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoid Malignancies (including non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Hodgkin Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) meeting the following criteria:
  • Disease status: Stable Disease, Partial Remission or 2nd and 3rd Complete Remission. OR
  • Have relapsed after autologous transplant or who have failed to collect for an autologous transplant.
  • Age > 1 years, twice institutional upper limit of normal
  • aspartate aminotransferase (AST) serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) ≥ three times institutional upper limit of normal
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) ≥ three times institutional upper limit of normal
  • Pulmonary function: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide corrected for hemoglobin (DLCOc) < 60% normal
  • Cardiac: left ventricular ejection fraction < 50%
  • Karnofsky Performance Statue (KPS) < 80
  • Patients with uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study because chemotherapy involved with Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) have the significant potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.
  • Any condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of study drug and attending required study visits; pose a significant risk to the subject; or interfere with interpretation of study data.
  • Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to any of the study medications, excipients, or similar compounds
  • Presence of donor-specific antibodies against chosen graft source.
