Multi-center, Open Label, Randomized Trial Comparing Single Versus Double Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) Transplantation in Pediatric Patients With High Risk Leukemia and Myelodysplasia (BMT CTN #0501)
BACKGROUND:
In nearly every large single center or registry analysis of outcomes after UCB
transplantation, cell dose is identified as an important factor influencing the incidence
and rate of hematopoietic recovery, risk of transplant-related mortality, and probability of
survival. Pilot data suggest that infusion of two partially human leukocyte antigen
(HLA)-matched UCB units, which always augments the graft cell dose, is safe and may improve
neutrophil recovery and survival. To determine whether the infusion of two UCB units
enhances survival, a multi-center, open-label, randomized trial is proposed. As adequate
single UCB units can be identified for more than 80% of pediatric recipients (in contrast to
less than 30% for adults), this study will be open only to pediatric patients. The
population will be restricted to patients with high-risk hematologic malignancy, the most
common indication of UCB transplantation in children.
DESIGN NARRATIVE:
Participants will include patients 1 to 21 years of age with a diagnosis of hematological
malignancy and with two partially HLA-matched UCB units. Units must be HLA-matched at 3 of
6 HLA-A and B (intermediate resolution molecular typing) and DRB1 (high resolution molecular
typing) with each other and 4 of 6 with the recipient. Two appropriately HLA-matched units
must be available such that one unit delivers a pre-cryopreserved, nucleated cell dose of at
least 2.5 x 10^7 per kilogram and the second unit delivers at least 1.5 x 10^7 per kilogram.
Patients will be randomized no more than 14 days prior to initiation of conditioning. UCB
units will be shipped prior to initiation of conditioning.
The preparative regimen will consist of the following:
- Fludarabine: 25 mg/m2/day IV on Days -10, -9, and -8.
- Total Body Irradiation (TBI): 165 cGy twice daily on Days -7, -6, -5, and -4.
- Cyclophosphamide: 60 mg/kg/day x 2 on Days -3 and -2.
- Day 0 will be the day of the UCB transplant. The GVHD prophylaxis regimen will be
mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 15 mg/kg IV BID on Day -3 to Day + 45 and cyclosporine A
(CSA) to maintain level 200-400 ng/mL beginning on Day -3.
Patients will be followed for at least 24 months post-transplant.
