Haploidentical Donor Transplantation Using a Novel Clofarabine-containing Conditioning Regimen for Very High-risk Hematologic Malignant Neoplasms.

ABSTRACT: Recurrent/refractory hematologic malignancies have a poor prognosis, and there is a need for novel treatment regimens that can be tolerated by this heavily pretreated patient group. Clofarabine has antileukemic activity with an acceptable toxicity profile. In a phase I clinical trial (NCT00824135), we substituted clofarabine for fludarabine in a well-established reduced-intensity conditioning regimen for a T cell-depleted, mismatched-related (haploidentical) donor transplant backbone and explored the maximum tolerated dose of clofarabine in this combination in 15 patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation for recurrent/refractory or secondary leukemia. Clofarabine was well tolerated at a dose of 50?mg/m/d for 5 days in this regimen, with minimal treatment-related mortality in a heavily pretreated group of high-risk patients. All patients exhibited quick hematopoietic recovery, with median times to neutrophil and platelet engraftment being 11 and 16 days, respectively. Transient elevation of transaminases was the most common toxicity-observed in 13 patients (86.7%), with 6 (40%) grade III or above. Three patients (20%) developed hepatic veno-occlusive disease. Eleven patients (73.3%) died, with the most common cause of death being disease relapse (in 9 patients [60%]), followed by treatment-related mortality (in 2 patients [13.3%]). Four (26.6%) of the patients are long-term survivors.

Project description:Objective: Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) has demonstrated encouraging results in younger patients. There is also an increasing need for haplo-SCT in older patients. However, the high risk of treatment-related mortality (TRM) in older patients is still a major concern. We aimed to investigate a novel conditioning regimen (Bu/Flu/Cy/ATG) followed by haplo-SCT in older patients. Method: This prospective, single-arm clinical trial was performed at Peking University Institute of Hematology, China. Patients were enrolled if they were (1) diagnosed with acute leukemia or MDS; (2) without MSD and MUD, and with HID available; and (3) age ?55 years. The Bu/Flu/Cy/ATG regimen consisted of the following agents: Ara-C (2 g/m2/day, injected i.v.) on days-10 and-9; BU (9.6 mg/kg, injected i.v. in 12 doses) on days-8,-7, and-6; Flu (30 mg/m2/day, injected i.v.) from day-6 to day-2; Cy (1 g/m2/day, injected i.v.) on days-5 and-4; semustine (250 mg/m2, orally) on day-3 and antithymocyte globulin (ATG) [2.5 mg/kg/day, rabbit, SangStat (Lyon, France)] on days-5,-4,-3, and-2. The primary endpoint was 1-year TRM. Results: From April 1, 2018 to April 10, 2020, a total of 50 patients were enrolled. All patients achieved neutrophil engraftment with complete donor chimerism. The cumulative incidence of grade 2-4 aGVHD at day-100 was 22.0%. The cumulative incidences of CMV viremia and EBV viremia on day 100 were 68.0 and 20.0%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of TRM at 1-year was 23.3%. and the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) at 1 year after transplantation was 16.5%. The overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) at 1 year were 63.5 and 60.2%, respectively. The outcomes were also comparable with patients who received Bu/Cy/ATG regimen using a propensity score matching method. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study suggested that a novel conditioning regimen followed by haploidentical HSCT might be a promising option for older patients. The study was registered as a clinical trial. Clinical Trial Registration: www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT03412409.

Project description:ImportanceMore people are surviving long-term after diagnosis with hematologic malignant neoplasm (HMN), yet there are limited data on cancer-related cognitive impairment in people with HMN. Better understanding cognitive outcomes after HMN in older adults is important for patient counseling and management.ObjectiveTo model cognitive trajectories and rates of cognitive decline before and after HMN diagnosis in older adults compared with a matched noncancer cohort.Design, setting, and participantsIn this population-based cohort study, older adults from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) diagnosed with HMN between 1998 and 2016 after age 65 years were matched 1:3 to participants without cancer from the same HRS wave using propensity scores incorporating variables relevant to cognition. Cognitive trajectories were modeled with piecewise linear splines, and rates of cognitive decline before, during, and after diagnosis were compared in the 2 groups. Data were analyzed from April 2022 to April 2024.ExposuresHMN diagnosis by Medicare diagnosis codes.Main outcomes and measuresCognitive function was assessed by the Langa-Weir cognitive summary score from 1992 to 2020. Sociodemographic and health-related variables relevant to cognition were incorporated into propensity scores.ResultsAt baseline, there were 668 participants in the HMN cohort (mean [SD] age, 76.8 [7.6] years; 343 [51.3%] male; 72 [10.8%] Black, 33 [4.9%] Hispanic, and 585 [87.6%] White) and 1994 participants in the control cohort (mean [SD] age, 76.5 [7.3] years; 1020 [51.2%] male; 226 [11.3%] Black, 91 [4.6%] Hispanic, and 1726 [86.6%] White). The HMN cohort consisted predominantly of more indolent diagnoses, and only 96 patients (14.4%) received chemotherapy. Before and in the 2 years around the time of diagnosis, the HMN and control cohorts had similar rates of cognitive decline. At 1 year postdiagnosis and beyond, the rate of cognitive decline was slower in the HMN cohort (-0.18; 95% CI, -0.23 to -0.14) than in the control group (-0.24; 95% CI, -0.26 to -0.23) (P = .02), but this difference was no longer significant after accounting for the competing risk of death (HMN group, -0.27; 95% CI, -0.34 to -0.19; control group, -0.30; 95% CI, -0.33 to -0.27; P = .48).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study of older adults, the HMN and matched noncancer control cohorts had similar rates of cognitive decline before, during, and after diagnosis after accounting for the competing risk of death.
