Engineered Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

United States11 participantsStarted 2017-01-18

Plain-language summary

This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of engineered donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Using T cells specially selected from donor blood in the laboratory for transplant may stop this from happening.

Inclusion Criteria: * Lack of a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched related donor, lack of an immediately available 8/8 HLA matched unrelated donor * Patients must be diagnosed with a high-risk and/or advanced hematologic malignancy defined as one of the following * Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in complete remission (CR)1 with high-risk features including adverse cytogenetic such as t(9;22), t(1;19), t(4;11), or MLL gene rearrangements; in second or greater morphologic remission; persistent minimal residual disease * Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in CR1 with intermediate-risk disease and persistent detectable minimal residual disease (MRD), or with high-risk features defined as: greater than 1 cycle of induction therapy required to achieve remission; preceding myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or myeloproliferative disease; presence of FLT3 mutations or internal tandem duplications, DNMT3a, TET2, MLL-partial tandem duplication (PTD), ASXL1, PHF6; FAB M6 or M7 classification; adverse cytogenetics including: -5, del 5q, -7, del7q, abnormalities involving 3q, 9q, 11q, 20q, 21q, 17, +8, complex (\> 3 abnormalities) * Patients with AML must have less than 10% bone marrow blasts and \< 100/mcL absolute peripheral blood blast count * Patients with AML in CR2, subsequent CR or with active disease at transplant (\< 10% bone marrow blasts) * MDS with International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) intermediate-2 or higher, therapy-related MDS or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
