Multi-center, Phase II Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Haploidentical Bone Marrow Transplantation Using Reduced Intensity Conditioning(RIC)Regimen and Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide,in Patients With Poor Prognosis Lymphomas
Study to test feasibility and efficacy of T-replete Bone Marrow (BM), infused after a RIC regimen and post-transplantation Cyclophosphamide (Cy), in patients with poor prognosis lymphomas.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ALLO) is the treatment of choice for many hematological diseases. However, HLA identical donor (sibling or unrelated) is available for 50-60% of patients and alternative donors are needed. Haploidentical donors have been used for many years, mostly after extensive T-cell depletion of peripheral stem cell, to avoid Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD). Recently, promising data have been reported with haploidentical transplantation using T-replete bone marrow (BM) and high-dose cyclophosphamide (Cy) post-transplantation. However, the conditioning regimen did not contain drugs active against hemopathies, enhancing the relapse risk.
In this study, the investigators want to test the feasibility and efficacy of T-replete BM, infused after a RIC regimen and post-transplantation Cy, in patients with poor prognosis lymphoproliferative diseases.
The RIC regimen consisted of modified regimen used in different studies conducted in Italy on behalf GITMO.
Signed and dated IEC-approved informed consent
Age ≥ 18-70 years old.
Performance Status Karnofsky ≥ 80% (see appendix B)
HLA typing will be performed at high resolution (allele level) for the HLA-A, HLA -B, HLA Cw, HLA-DRB1, and HLA-DQB1 loci. A minimum match of 5/10 is required. An unrelated donor search is not required for a patient to be eligible for this protocol if the clinical situation dictates an urgent transplant.
The donor and recipient must be identical, as determined by high resolution typing, at least one allele of each of the following genetic loci: HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-Cw, HLA-DRB1, and HLA-DQB1.
Patients with lymphoma (any histology) relapsed after high dose chemotherapy and in partial remission, complete remission or stable disease after the last CT line.
Absence of HLA identical sibling and 10/10 unrelated donor
Patients with adequate physical function as measured by:
Cardiac: Left ventricular ejection fraction at rest must be ≥ 40% Hepatic: Bilirubin ≤ 2.5 mg/dL; and ALT, AST, and Alkaline Phosphatase ≤ 5 x ULN.
Renal: Creatinine clearance or GFR ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73 m2. Pulmonary: FEV1, FVC, DLCO ≥ 50% predicted (corrected for hemoglobin); if unable to perform pulmonary function tests, then O2 saturation ≥ 92% on room air.
