About this trial
This phase I trial studies the safety of transplantation with a haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell graft depleted of TCRαβ+ cells and CD19+ cells in conjunction with the immunomodulating drug, Zoledronate, given in the post-transplant period to treat pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies or high risk solid tumors.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Availability of an eligible haploidentical donor
Hematologic malignancy or solid tumor
Patients with more than one malignancy (hematologic or solid tumor) are eligible
Patients with hematologic malignancy must have no HLA identical sibling or suitable unrelated donor OR time needed to find an acceptable unrelated donor match would likely result in disease progression such that the patient may become ineligible for any type of potentially curative transplant
Disqualifiers
Pregnant or breast-feeding
HIV infection
Heart failure or uncontrolled cardiac rhythm disturbance
Uncontrolled, Serious Active Infection
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
TCRαβ+/CD19+ depleted Haploidentical HSCT
Procedure/SurgeryPatients with high-risk leukemia will receive myeloablative conditioning. All other patients will undergo a reduced-intensity conditioning with ATG, Fludarabine, Thiotepa and Melphalan followed by transplant with a KIR/KIR (Killer cell immunoglobulin-like recetptor) ligand mismatched haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell graft depleted of TCRab+ cells and CD19+ cells using the CliniMACS System.
Zoledronate
DrugGiven IV. Patients will receive five doses of Zoledronate (each 1.25 mg/m2 at a 28 day interval) following transplant.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD)
Incidence of graft failure
Secondary outcomes
Immune reconstitution
Immune reconstitution outcomes, as determined by immune cell analysis.
Performance of the CliniMACS Reagent System utilizing the CliniMACS TCRαβ-biotin and CliniMACS CD19 reagent to produce a graft with defined cell content.
The performance of the CliniMACS Reagent System will be evaluated by measuring the number of viable stem cells, TCRαβ+ cells, TCRγδ+ cells, NK cells and B cells in the hematopoietic stem cell graft.
