NCT02497404

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether 5-Azacytidine priming before the conditioning regimen for subjects receiving a hematopoietic stem cell transplant is an effective treatment for high risk myeloid malignancies in complete remission (CR).

Study Arms (1)

5 Azacytidine

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will be given a five day course of subcutaneous 5-azacytidine, followed by a reduced intensity conditioning regimen of fludarabine and melphalan with or without total body irradiation prior to an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a related or unrelated HLA matched donor.

Drug: 5-AzacytidineDrug: FludarabineDrug: MelphalanDrug: AlemtuzumabRadiation: Total Body Irradiation

Interventions

Patients will be given a five day course of subcutaneous 5-azacytidine followed by a reduced intensity conditioning regimen of fludarabine and melphalan with or without total body irradiation prior to an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a related or unrelated HLA matched donor. 5-Azacytidine 75 mg/m2 subcutaneously daily at the same time on days -11, -10, -9, -8 and -7. This will be administered on an outpatient basis if possible.

Also known as: Vidaza
5 Azacytidine

Conditioning regimen: Hospital admission will usually take place on the first day of the conditioning regimen. Fludarabine will be given at 40 mg/m2 intravenously daily at the same time over 30 minutes on days -6,-5,-4,-3.

Also known as: Fludara
5 Azacytidine

Conditioning regimen: Hospital admission will usually take place on the first day of the conditioning regimen. Melphalan will be given at 140 mg/m2 IV on day -3.

Also known as: Alkeran
5 Azacytidine

Conditioning regimen: Hospital admission will usually take place on the first day of the conditioning regimen. Alemtuzumab will be given at 30 mg subcutaneously on Days -4 and -2 for unrelated donors, and Day -2 for related donors.

Also known as: Campath, Lemtrada
5 Azacytidine

Conditioning regimen: Hospital admission will usually take place on the first day of the conditioning regimen. Total Body Irradiation (TBI) will be given at 2 doses of 200 cGy each on one day of the conditioning regimen (between days -6 and -3).

Also known as: TBI
5 Azacytidine

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) as specified below:
  • Acute myeloid leukemia with poor risk cytogenetics in complete morphologic remission. These include: del (5q)/-5, del (7q)/-7, abn 3q, 9q, 11q, 20q, 21q, 17p, t(6;9), t(9;22) or complex karyotypes (≥ 3 unrelated abnormalities); or
  • Acute myeloid leukemia with either Flt-3, TET-2, p53, DNMT3A, or ASXL1 mutation, mutations of genes involved in the chromatin/spliceosome category (EZH2, SRSF2, U2AF1, ZRSR2), BCOR, and RUNX1, as well as MLL rearrangement, EVI1 overexpression in complete morphologic remission; or
  • Acute myeloid leukemia with a white blood cell count of greater than or equal to 50,000/mcL at presentation in first complete morphologic remission; or
  • Acute myeloid leukemia in first complete morphologic remission, having required more than one course of induction chemotherapy to attain remission status; or
  • Acute myeloid leukemia, all types, excluding M3 (Promyelocytic leukemia) in second or higher complete morphologic remission; or
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes (intermediate-2, high risk and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) with bone marrow blasts \<5%); or
  • Secondary acute myeloid leukemia on the basis of prior MDS or prior myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) in complete morphologic remission
  • Life expectancy not severely limited by concomitant disease
  • Karnofsky Performance Score greater than or equal to 70%.
  • Adequate organ function as defined below:
  • Serum Bilirubin:\<2.0 mg/dL; Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) (SGPT): \<3 x upper limit of normal; Creatinine Clearance:\>60 mL/min (eGFR as estimated by the modified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD) equation)
  • \- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

You may not qualify if:

  • Evidence of chronic active hepatitis or cirrhosis
  • HIV infection
  • Uncontrolled 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 and lactating women are excluded from the study because the risks to an unborn fetus or potential risks in nursing infants are unknown.
  • There are no prior therapies or concomitant medications that would render the patients ineligible
