Study Summary

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of engineered donor grafts ("OrcaGraft"/"Orca-Q") in participants undergoing myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant transplantation for hematologic malignancies.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 65 years at the time of enrollment

  2. Diagnosed acute myeloid, lymphoid or mixed phenotype leukemia, or high or very highrisk myelodysplasic syndrome (MDS), myelofibrosis, or chronic myeloid leukemia

  3. Planned to undergo myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT)

  4. Matched to a 8/8 or 7/8 related or unrelated donor, or to a related haploidenticaldonor

  5. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 50 mL/minute

  6. Cardiac ejection fraction at rest ≥ 45% or shortening fraction of ≥ 27% byechocardiogram or radionuclide scan (MUGA)

  7. Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (adjusted for hemoglobin) ≥ 50%

  8. Total bilirubin < 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (< 3 times if attributed toGilbert's syndrome) and ALT/AST < 3 times ULN

Exclusion

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior allogeneic HCT

  2. Currently receiving corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive therapy. Topicalcorticosteroids or oral systemic corticosteroid doses less than or equal to 10mg/day are allowed.

  3. Planned donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI)

  4. Positive anti-donor HLA antibodies against a mismatched allele in the selected donor

  5. Karnofsky performance score < 70% (Appendix 12.7)

  6. Hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) > 4 (Appendix 12.8)

  7. Uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infections (currently taking antimicrobialtherapy and with progression or no clinical improvement) at time of enrollment

  8. Seropositive for HIV-1 or -2, HTLV-1 or -2

  9. Any uncontrolled autoimmune disease requiring active immunosuppressive treatment

  10. Concurrent malignancies or active disease within 1 year, except non-melanoma skincancers that have been curatively resected

  11. History of idiopathic or secondary myelofibrosis

  12. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
