About this trial
This phase 1 trial will investigate the safety and effectiveness of Thiotepa, Busulfan, and Fludarabine (TBF) conditioning regimen with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in HLA-matched related or unrelated donor allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT).

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first or subsequent morphological remission (<5% marrow blasts by morphology) with or without hematologic recovery.
Disqualifiers
Poor performance status with Karnofsky Score <70%
Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) hematopoietic cell transplant co-morbidity index (HCT-CI) score >5

Treatments tested in this trial
Thiotepa
DrugThiotepa is an alkylating agent used in combination with other chemotherapy agents to treat cancer.
Fludarabine
DrugFludarabine is a chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It acts at DNA polymerase alpha, ribonucleotide reductase and DNA primase, results in the inhibition of DNA synthesis, and destroys the cancer cells.
Busulfan
DrugBusulfan is a chemotherapy drug used in preparation for a stem cell transplant.
PBSC infusion
Procedure/SurgeryPeripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) infusion is a medical procedure used to replace diseased or damaged stem cells in patients, particularly after cancer treatments.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS)
Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) is defined by survival without a qualifying event including Death, Relapse of primary disease, Grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), graded via MAGIC criteria, Chronic moderate or severe GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppression, graded via NIH consensus criteria.
Secondary outcomes
Median time to neutrophil engraftment
Median time to neutrophil engraftment will be defined as the median number of days from transplant at which the cumulative engraftment rate reaches 50%.
Median time to platelet engraftment
Median number of days from transplant at which the cumulative engraftment rate of platelet recovery to 20,000/mm3 and 50,000/mm3 reaches 50% respectively.
Frequency of severe mucositis
Percentage of patients experiencing severe mucositis, defined as grade 3-4 by WHO criteria.
Frequency of total parental nutrition
Percentage of patients who require TPN at any time from the start of conditioning through day +30 post-transplant.
