About this trial

This phase II trial studies how well giving an umbilical cord blood transplant together with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and total-body irradiation (TBI) works in treating patients with hematologic diseases. Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and thiotepa, and TBI before a donor cord blood transplant (CBT) helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening in patients with high-risk hematologic diseases.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients in morphologic remission with persistent cytogenetic, flow cytometric, or molecular aberrations are eligible.

Presence of any high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities such as t(9;22), t(1;19), t(4;11) or other MLL rearrangements (11q23) or other high-risk molecular abnormality.

Disqualifiers

Diagnosis of myelofibrosis or other malignancy with moderate-severe bone marrow fibrosis.

Patients persistent with central nervous system (CNS) involvement in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or CNS imaging at time of screening0

Prior checkpoint inhibitors/ blockade in the last 12 months.

Two prior stem cell transplants of any kind.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Overall survival

Will be assessed after optimized cord blood transplant (CBT) in adults and children with hematologic malignancies. Will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Time frame
At 1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet engraftment

Will be calculated within the competing risks framework considering death without neutrophil or platelet recovery, respectively, as completing events

Time frame
Up to 1 year
2

Incidences of graft failure

Will be calculated within the competing risks framework considering death without engraftment before day 21 as a competing event.

Time frame
Up to 1 year
3

Incidence of grade II-IV and III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD)

Will be calculated within the competing risks framework considering relapse/ death without developing GVHD, death in the absence of relapse, and relapse as competing events, respectively.

Time frame
At day 100
4

Incidence of grade II-IV and III-IV aGVHD

Will be calculated within the competing risks framework considering relapse/ death without developing GVHD, death in the absence of relapse, and relapse as competing events, respectively.

Time frame
At day 180
