Phase I/II multisite trial of optimally dosed clofarabine and low-dose TBI for hematopoietic cell transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia.


ABSTRACT: Clofarabine is an immunosuppressive purine nucleoside analog that may have better anti-leukemic activity than fludarabine. We performed a prospective phase I/II multisite trial of clofarabine with 2 Gy total body irradiation as non-myeloablative conditioning for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in adults with acute myeloid leukemia who were unfit for more intense regimens. Our main objective was to improve the 6-month relapse rate following non-myeloablative conditioning, while maintaining historic rates of non-relapse mortality (NRM) and engraftment. Forty-four patients, 53 to 74 (median: 69) years, were treated with clofarabine at 150 to 250?mg/m2 , of whom 36 were treated at the maximum protocol-specified dose. One patient developed multifactorial acute kidney injury and another developed multiorgan failure, but no other grade 3 to 5 non-hematologic toxicities were observed. All patients fully engrafted. The 6-month relapse rate was 16% (95% CI, 5%-27%) among all patients and 14% (95% CI, 3%-26%) among high-risk patients treated at the maximum dose, meeting the pre-specified primary efficacy endpoint. Overall survival was 55% (95% CI, 40%-70%) and leukemia-free survival was 52% (95% CI, 37%-67%) at 2?years. Compared to a historical high-risk cohort treated with the combination of fludarabine at 90?mg/m2 and 2 Gy TBI, protocol patients treated with the clofarabine-TBI regimen had lower rates of overall mortality (HR of 0.50, 95% CI, 0.28-0.91), disease progression or death (HR 0.48, 95% CI, 0.27-0.85), and morphologic relapse (HR 0.30, 95% CI, 0.13-0.69), and comparable NRM (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.36-2.00). The combination of clofarabine with TBI warrants further investigation in patients with high-risk AML.
