Project description:PurposeHematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has curative potential for myeloid malignancies, though many patients cannot tolerate myeloablative conditioning with high-dose chemotherapy alone or with total-body irradiation (TBI). Here we report long-term outcomes from a phase I/II study using iodine-131 (131I)-anti-CD45 antibody BC8 combined with nonmyeloablative conditioning prior to HLA-haploidentical HCT in adults with high-risk relapsed/ refractory acute myeloid or lymphoid leukemia (AML or ALL), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00589316).Patients and methodsPatients received a tracer diagnostic dose before a therapeutic infusion of 131I-anti-CD45 to deliver escalating doses (12-26 Gy) to the dose-limiting organ. Patients subsequently received fludarabine, cyclophosphamide (CY), and 2 Gy TBI conditioning before haploidentical marrow HCT. GVHD prophylaxis was posttransplant CY plus tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil.ResultsTwenty-five patients (20 with AML, 4 ALL and 1 high-risk MDS) were treated; 8 had ≥ 5% blasts by morphology (range 9%-20%), and 7 had previously failed HCT. All 25 patients achieved a morphologic remission 28 days after HCT, with only 2 patients showing minimal residual disease (0.002-1.8%) by flow cytometry. Median time to engraftment was 15 days for neutrophils and 23 days for platelets. Point estimates for overall survival and progression-free survival were 40% and 32% at 1 year, and 24% at 2 years, respectively. Point estimates of relapse and nonrelapse mortality at 1 year were 56% and 12%, respectively.Conclusions131I-anti-CD45 radioimmunotherapy prior to haploidentical HCT is feasible and can be curative in some patients, including those with disease, without additional toxicity.

Project description:Purpose: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for many hematologic cancers. Use of haploidentical (mismatched) donors increases HSCT availability but is limited by severe graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and delayed immune reconstitution. Alloanergization of donor T cells is a simple approach to rebuild immunity while limiting GvHD after haploidentical HSCT, but the optimal T-cell dose and impact on immune reconstitution remain unknown.Patients and Methods: We performed a multicenter phase I trial of alloanergized donor lymphocyte infusion (aDLI) after CD34-selected myeloablative haploidentical HSCT. The primary aim was feasibility and safety with secondary aims of assessing the less frequently addressed issue of impact on immune reconstitution.Results: Nineteen patients with high-risk acute leukemia or myelodysplasia were enrolled. Engraftment occurred in 18 of 19 patients (95%). Pre-aDLI, 12 patients (63%) had bacteremia, nine of 17 at-risk patients (53%) reactivated CMV, and one developed acute GvHD. Sixteen patients received aDLI at dose levels 1 (103 T cells/kg, n = 4), 2 (104, n = 8), and 3 (105, n = 4). After aDLI, five patients developed clinically significant acute GvHD, and four of 14 at-risk patients (29%) reactivated CMV. T-cell recovery was significantly greater, and functional virus- and tumor-associated antigen-specific T cells were detectable earlier in patients receiving dose level 2 or 3 versus dose level 1/no aDLI. Alloanergization of donor cells expanded the CD4+ T-regulatory cell frequency within aDLI, which increased further in vivo without impeding expansion of virus- and tumor-associated antigen-specific T cells.Conclusions: These data demonstrate safety and a potential role for aDLI in contributing to immune reconstitution and expanding tolerogenic regulatory T cells in vivo after CD34-selected myeloablative haploidentical HSCT.

Project description:Unmanipulated haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT) has been an established treatment to cure high-risk leukemia/lymphoma. Relapse is the main cause of treatment failure for patients with relapsed/refractory disease or with very high-risk gene mutations such as TP53, TET2, and DNMT3a. In this study, we aimed to establish the tolerance and efficacy of prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) with G-CSF-primed peripheral blood progenitors for prevention of relapse in these very high-risk patients after haplo-PBSCT. The prophylactic DLI was given at a median of 77 days after transplantation in 31 of 45 consecutive patients with very high-risk leukemia/lymphoma. The median dose of CD3+ cells for infusion was 1.8 × 107/kg. The 100-day incidences of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grades 2-4 and 3-4 after DLI were 55.3% and 10.2%. The 2-year incidences of chronic GVHD and severe chronic GVHD were 52.0% and 18.2%. The 2-year incidences of non-relapse mortality and relapse were 33.1% and 32.5%. The 2-year probabilities of overall survival and relapse-free survival were 40.1% and 31.9%. Poor-risk gene mutations (p = 0.029), disease in non-remission status prior to transplantation (p = 0.005), and donors older than 40 years of age (p = 0.043) were associated with relapse after DLI. In multivariate analysis, disease in non-remission status prior to transplantation was an independent risk factor of relapse (hazard ratio = 4.079; p = 0.035). These data showed the feasibility of the prophylactic DLI in the haplo-PBSCT setting and the anti-leukemic efficacy in very high-risk leukemia/lymphoma.

Project description:Administration of posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has significantly expanded the number of patients undergoing HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT). To examine immune reconstitution in these patients, we monitored T- and natural killer (NK)-cell recovery in 60 patients receiving bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts after haplo-HCT with PTCy and 35 patients receiving HLA-matched donor PBSC grafts with standard graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Compared with HLA-matched recipients, early T-cell recovery was delayed in haplo-HCT patients and skewed toward effector memory T cells with markedly reduced naive T cells. We found higher regulatory T (Treg)-cell/conventional T (Tcon)-cell ratios early after HCT and increased PD-1 expression on memory T cells. Within the haplo-HCT, patients who did not develop chronic GVHD (cGVHD) had higher PD-1 expression on central and effector memory CD4+ Treg cells at 1 month after transplant. These findings suggest an immunologic milieu that promotes immune tolerance in haplo-HCT patients. NK cells were decreased early after haplo-HCT with preferential expansion of immature CD56brightCD16- NK cells compared with matched donor transplants. One month after transplant, mass cytometry revealed enrichment of immature NK-cell metaclusters with high NKG2A, low CD57, and low killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor expression after haplo-HCT, which partially recovered 3 months post-HCT. At 2 months, immature NK cells from both groups were functionally impaired, but interleukin-15 priming corrected these defects in vitro. Increased immature/mature NK-cell ratios were associated with cytomegalovirus reactivation and increased incidence of cGVHD after haplo-HCT. These homeostatic imbalances in T- and NK-cell reconstitution after haplo-HCT reveal opportunities for early immune-based interventions to optimize clinical outcomes.

Project description:Autologous CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CD19-CART) remarkably improved the outcome of patients with advanced B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). However, the application and outcomes of allogeneic CART cells is still uncertain. Two patients with advanced B-ALL were enrolled to receive a co-infusion of high-dose human leukocyte antigen-haploidentical donor granulocyte colony-stimulating factor mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells (GPBMCs; 21.01-25.34 × 108/kg) and the same donor-derived CD19-targeted CART cells (8.44-22.19 × 106/kg) without additional in vitro gene-editing following a reinduction chemotherapy as precondition. They achieved complete remission and full donor chimerism (FDC) with ongoing 20- and 4-month leukemia-free survival. A significant amplification of donor CART cells was detected in peripheral blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid and was associated with the formation of FDC. The highest amount of copies of the donor CART cells reached 4962 per µg of genomic DNA (gDNA) and 2449 per µg of gDNA, and the longest persistence was 20 months associated with B cell aplasia. Two patients experienced Grade II or III cytokine release syndromes and developed controllable Grade II intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or limited chronic oral GVHD. High-dose donor GPBMC infusion may enhance amplification and persistence of haploidentical CD19-targeted CART cells, suggesting an alternative therapy for advanced B-ALL patients.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Under the hypothesis that early natural killer cell infusion (NKI) following haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) will reduce relapse in the early post-transplant period, we conducted a pilot study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of NKI following haplo-SCT in children with recurrent neuroblastoma who failed previous tandem high-dose chemotherapy and autologous SCT. METHODS:We used the high-dose 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine and cyclophosphamide/fludarabine/anti-thymocyte globulin regimen for conditioning and infused 3 × 107/kg of ex-vivo expanded NK cells derived from a haploidentical parent donor on days 2, 9, and 16 post-transplant. Interleukin-2 was administered (1 × 106 IU/m2/day) subcutaneously to activate infused donor NK cells on days 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 16, 18, and 20 post-transplant. RESULTS:Seven children received a total of 19 NKIs, and NKI-related acute toxicities were fever (n = 4) followed by chills (n = 3) and hypertension (n = 3); all toxicities were tolerable. Grade ≥II acute GVHD and chronic GVHD developed in two and five patients, respectively. Higher amount of NK cell population was detected in peripheral blood until 60 days post-transplant than that in the reference cohort. Cytomegalovirus and BK virus reactivation occurred in all patients and Epstein-Barr virus in six patients. Six patients died of relapse/progression (n = 5) or treatment-related mortality (n = 1), and one patient remained alive. CONCLUSION:NKI following haplo-SCT was relatively safe and feasible in patients with recurrent neuroblastoma. Further studies to enhance the graft-versus-tumor effect without increasing GVHD are needed.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious reports suggest a benefit associated with haploidentical donor transplantation (HIDT) compared to matched sibling donor transplantation (MSDT) in certain contexts, and the choice of optimal candidates warrants further investigation.MethodsWe designed a prospective genetically randomized study to evaluate donor options between acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients positive for measurable residual disease (MRD) pre-transplantation who underwent HIDT (n = 169) or MSDT (n = 39).ResultsThe cumulative incidence of positive MRD post-transplantation was 26% (95% CI, 19-33%) and 44% (95% CI, 28-60%) for HIDT and MSDT, respectively (P = 0.043). Compared to the HIDT cohort, the MSDT cohort had a higher 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR; 47%, 95% CI, 31-63% vs. 23%, 95% CI, 17-29%; P = 0.006) and lower 3-year probability of leukemia-free survival (LFS; 43%, 95% CI, 27-59% vs. 65%, 95% CI, 58-72%; P = 0.023) and overall survival (OS; 46%, 95% CI, 30-62% vs. 68%, 95% CI, 61-75%; P = 0.039), without a difference in non-relapse-mortality (10%, 95% CI, 1-19% vs. 11%, 95% CI, 6-16%; P = 0.845). Multivariate analysis showed that HIDT is associated with a low CIR (HR = 0.364; 95% CI, 0.202-0.655; P = 0.001) and better LFS (HR = 0.414; 95% CI, 0.246-0.695; P = 0.001) and OS (HR = 0.380; 95% CI, 0.220-0.656; P = 0.001).ConclusionsHIDT is better than MSDT in view of favorable anti-leukemia activity for patients with pre-transplantation MRD positive ALL. The current study paves the way to determine that haploidentical donors are the preferred choice regardless of available matched sibling donors in a subgroup population.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02185261.

Project description:PurposeThere is no consensus on the best choice of an alternative donor (umbilical cord blood [UCB], haploidentical, one-antigen mismatched [7/8]-bone marrow [BM], or 7/8-peripheral blood [PB]) for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for patients lacking an HLA-matched related or unrelated donor.MethodsWe report composite end points of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) and chronic GVHD (cGVHD)-free relapse-free survival (CRFS) in 2,198 patients who underwent UCB (n = 838), haploidentical (n = 159), 7/8-BM (n = 241), or 7/8-PB (n = 960) HCT. All groups were divided by myeloablative conditioning (MAC) intensity or reduced intensity conditioning (RIC), except haploidentical group in which most received RIC. To account for multiple testing, P < .0071 in multivariable analysis and P < .00025 in direct pairwise comparisons were considered statistically significant.ResultsIn multivariable analysis, haploidentical group had the best GRFS, CRFS, and overall survival (OS). In the direct pairwise comparison of other groups, among those who received MAC, there was no difference in GRFS or CRFS among UCB, 7/8-BM, and 7/8-PB with serotherapy (alemtuzumab or antithymocyte globulin) groups. In contrast, the 7/8-PB without serotherapy group had significantly inferior GRFS, higher cGVHD, and a trend toward worse CRFS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.38; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.69; P = .002) than the 7/8-BM group and higher cGVHD and trend toward inferior CRFS (HR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.63; P = .0006) than the UCB group. Among patients with RIC, all groups had significantly inferior GRFS and CRFS compared with the haploidentical group.ConclusionRecognizing the limitations of a registry retrospective analysis and the possibility of center selection bias in choosing donors, our data support the use of UCB, 7/8-BM, or 7/8-PB (with serotherapy) grafts for patients undergoing MAC HCT and haploidentical grafts for patients undergoing RIC HCT. The haploidentical group had the best GRFS, CRFS, and OS of all groups.

Project description:Relapse has emerged as the most important cause of treatment failure after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To test the hypothesis that natural killer (NK) cells can decrease the risk of leukemia relapse, we initiated a phase 1 dose-escalation study of membrane-bound interleukin 21 (mbIL21) expanded donor NK cells infused before and after haploidentical HSCT for high-risk myeloid malignancies. The goals were to determine the safety, feasibility, and maximum tolerated dose. Patients received a melphalan-based reduced-intensity conditioning regimen and posttransplant cyclophosphamide-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. NK cells were infused on days -2, +7, and +28 posttransplant. All NK expansions achieved the required cell number, and 11 of 13 patients enrolled received all 3 planned NK-cell doses (1 × 105/kg to 1 × 108/kg per dose). No infusional reactions or dose-limiting toxicities occurred. All patients engrafted with donor cells. Seven patients (54%) developed grade 1-2 acute GVHD (aGVHD), none developed grade 3-4 aGVHD or chronic GVHD, and a low incidence of viral complications was observed. One patient died of nonrelapse mortality; 1 patient relapsed. All others were alive and in remission at last follow-up (median, 14.7 months). NK-cell reconstitution was quantitatively, phenotypically, and functionally superior compared with a similar group of patients not receiving NK cells. In conclusion, this trial demonstrated production feasibility and safety of infusing high doses of ex vivo-expanded NK cells after haploidentical HSCT without adverse effects, increased GVHD, or higher mortality, and was associated with significantly improved NK-cell number and function, lower viral infections, and low relapse rate posttransplant.
