Brief Summary
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of 225Ac-DOTA-Anti-CD38 daratumumab monoclonal antibody in combination with fludarabine, melphalan and total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) as conditioning treatment for donor stem cell transplant in patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Radioimmunotherapy is treatment with a radioactive substance that is linked to a monoclonal antibody, such as daratumumab, that will find and attach to cancer cells. Radiation given off by the radioisotope my help kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. TMLI is a targeted form of body radiation that targets marrow, lymph node chains, and the spleen. It is designed to reduce radiation-associated side effects and maximize therapy effect. Actinium Ac 225-DOTA-daratumumab combined with fludarabine, melphalan and TMLI may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective as conditioning treatment for donor stem cell transplant in patients with high-risk AML, ALL, and MDS.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Incidence of adverse events (CTCAE)
Toxicity will be scored on the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5 scale. Toxicity will be recorded in each patient and will include the type, severity, and probable association with the study regimen.
Up to 2 years post-transplant
Incidence of adverse events (Bearman)
Toxicity will be scored on the Bearman Scale. Toxicity will be recorded in each patient and will include the type, severity, and probable association with the study regimen.
Up to 2 years post-transplant
Dose limiting toxicity (DLT)
DLT will be graded using the NCI CTCAE v5 scale.
Up to 30 days post-stem cell infusion
Maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase II dose (MTD/RP2D)
MTD/RP2D will be defined as the highest dose where 6 patients have been treated and at most on patient experiences a DLT.
Up to 30 days post stem cell infusion
Secondary Outcomes (10)
Overall survival (OS)
At start of protocol therapy to death or last follow-up up to 2 years post transplant
Event-free survival (EFS)
At start of protocol therapy to death, relapse/progression or last follow-up up to 2 years post-transplant
Cumulative incidence of relapse/progression (CIR)
At start of therapy up to 2 years post transplant
Graft versus host disease and relapse free survival (GRFS)
At start of therapy up to 2 years post-transplant
Complete remission (CR) proportion
At start of therapy up to day 30
- +5 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (1)
Treatment ( Actinium Ac 225-DOTA-Daratumumab)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive daratumumab IV over 45 minutes followed by indium In 111-DOTA-daratumumab IV over 15 minutes and actinium Ac 225-DOTA-daratumumab IV over \~20-40 minutes on day -15. Patients receive TMLI BID on days -8 to -5, fludarabine IV on days -4 to -2 and melphalan IV on day -2, followed by HCT on day 0. Patients receive GVHD prophylaxis with sirolimus and tacrolimus starting on day -1. Patients also undergo CT during screening, nuclear scan and SPECT scans on study, bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, echocardiography, or MUGA, and blood sample collection during screening and throughout study.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Documented informed consent of the participant and/or legally authorized representative

- ≥ 60 years. Note: Patients ≥ 18 years and \< 60 years with HCT-comorbidity index (CI) ≥ 2 are also included
- Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70
- Eligible patients will have a histopathological confirmed diagnosis of hematologic malignancy in one of the following categories :
