Summary

This phase II trial tests whether treosulfan, fludarabine, and rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) work when given before a blood or bone marrow transplant (conditioning regimen) to cause fewer complications for patients with bone marrow failure diseases. Chemotherapy drugs, such as treosulfan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Fludarabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. rATG is used to decrease the body's immune response and may improve bone marrow function and increase blood cell counts. Adding treosulfan to a conditioning regimen with fludarabine and rATG may result in patients having less severe complications after a blood or bone marrow transplant.

Description

OUTLINE

CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients receive treosulfan intravenously (IV) over 120 minutes on days -6 to -4, fludarabine phosphate IV over 60 minutes on days -6 to -2, and lapine T-lymphocyte immune globulin (rATG) IV over 4-6 hours on days -4 to -2.

TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant on day 0.

GVHD PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive tacrolimus IV continuously beginning on day -2 and a taper beginning on day 180. Patients may also receive tacrolimus orally (PO). Patients also receive methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 year from transplant.

All patients with a BMFD and a known genetic mutation that is not listed above
All patients with GATA2 mutation and associated marrow failure
All patients with SAMD9 or SAMD9L disorders
There may be circumstances where a treating physician will consider a transplant for a patient with a BMFD who does not meet all the criteria listed under "indications for HCT". In these situations, treating physicians may submit their patient to the BMT CTN 1904 ERC for review in order to determine if the patient is eligible for this clinical trial based on additional clinical or laboratory information
Many patients with BMFD can have bone marrow evaluations that raise concern for possible myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) including but not limited to dysplastic bone marrow evaluations or cytogenetic abnormalities. However, in patients BMFD these findings are not necessarily diagnostic or consistent with MDS. Therefore, given the complexities of diagnosing MDS in patients with BMFD, all patients with bone marrow evaluations concerning for possible MDS should be submitted to the ERC for review to confirm or exclude MDS. This is particularly important as we do not want to exclude potentially eligible patients due to an incorrect diagnosis of MDS
HLA-MATCHED RELATED DONOR: HLA-matched sibling: Must be a minimum HLA-6/6 matched to
the recipient at HLA-A, -B (serologic typing) and DRB1 (high-resolution
typing)
HLA-MATCHED RELATED DONOR: HLA-matched related (phenotypic match): Fully matched for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and DQB1 by high-resolution typing
HLA-MATCHED RELATED DONOR: If a genetic mutation is known for the patient, the HLA-matched related donor [either HLA-matched sibling or HLA-matched related (phenotypic match)] must be screened for the same genetic mutation if clinically appropriate and should be confirmed to not have the same genetic disease (this does not include patients with PNH). Consult the protocol team with questions
HLA-MATCHED RELATED DONOR: If a patient has an undefined BMFD (a patient with a BMFD for whom a genetic mutation responsible for their bone marrow failure phenotype has not been identified), the HLA-matched related donor [either HLA-matched sibling or HLA-matched related (phenotypic match)] must have an evaluation as directed by the treating physician to confirm that the donor does not have the same underlying disease. This will include a complete blood count (CBC) with differential and potentially a bone marrow evaluation or other studies as directed by the treating physician
UNRELATED DONOR: Fully matched for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and DQB1 by high-resolution typing
UNRELATED DONOR: Mismatched for a single HLA-class 1 allele (HLA-A, -B, or -C) by high-resolution typing; OR
UNRELATED DONOR: Mismatched for a single HLA DQB1 allele or antigen by high-resolution typing
Note: donor patient (DP) matching per institutional practice
DONOR SELECTION RECCOMENDATIONS: in the case where there are multiple donor options
donors should be selected based on the following priority numbered below
Unaffected fully HLA-matched sibling
Unaffected fully phenotypically HLA-matched related donor
Fully HLA-matched unrelated donor
Unrelated donor with single allele or antigen level mismatch at DQB1
Unrelated donor with single allele level mismatch at class 1 (HLA-A, -B, or -C)
