About this trial
This phase II trial tests how well removing CD45RA positive naive T cells works to prevent graft versus host disease in older patients undergoing standard of care allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is when healthy cells are collected from a donor and infused into a patient to help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Removing the T cells from the donor cells before the transplant may stop this from happening. Giving CD45RA positive naive T cell depleted allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant may prevent graft versus host disease while treating acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in older adults.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
PARTICIPANT: Age > 60 years
Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in first or subsequent morphological remission (< 5% marrow blasts by morphology).
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first or subsequent morphological remission (< 5% marrow blasts by morphology).
Other acute leukemia or related neoplasm (including but not limited to 'mixed phenotype' 'biphenotypic', 'acute undifferentiated' or 'ambiguous lineage' acute leukemia, blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, lymphoblastic lymphoma, Burkitt leukemia/lymphoma, mast cell leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia [CML] with blast crisis or other chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm) in first or subsequent morphological remission (< 5% marrow blasts by morphology).
Disqualifiers
Acute leukemia: circulating abnormal blasts detectable by standard pathology.
MDS: > 5% circulating abnormal blasts by standard pathology
PARTICIPANT: Patients with promyelocytic leukemia (APL)
PARTICIPANT: Patients with active extramedullary disease are excluded. History of extramedullary disease is allowed if only minimal residual disease is present prior to HCT

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) relapse-free survival
Defined as duration between date of transplant and documentation of the date of first occurrence of: relapse, grade III-IV acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, or death due to any cause. Will be estimated using the method of Kaplan Meier. Ninety percent confidence intervals (to be consistent with 1-sided 5% testing) around proportions at milestone time points (e.g. 1-year) will be calculated using the log-log transformation.
Secondary outcomes
Overall survival
Defined as duration from date of transplant to date of death due to any cause. Will be estimated using the method of Kaplan Meier. Ninety percent confidence intervals (to be consistent with 1-sided 5% testing) around proportions at milestone time points (e.g. 1-year) will be calculated using the log-log transformation.
Time to relapse
Defined as duration date of transplant to first documentation of \>/=5% leukemic blasts by morphology in bone marrow, circulating leukemic blasts or extramedullary disease (extramedullary disease definite i.e., proven by biopsy or probably based on clinical assessment if biopsy not feasible).
Treatment related mortality
Defined as death deemed related to transplant and not attributable to the underlying disease. Proportions and their associated 90% confidence intervals will be estimated, confidence intervals will be estimated using the Wilson Score method.
Graft rejection or graft failure rate
Graft failure will be operationally defined as failure to achieve an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 0.5 × 10\^9/L before death or second transplant, or decrease to absolute neutrophil count \< 0.1 × 10\^9/L for 14 consecutive days (date of graft failure defined as the 14th day) after an established donor graft despite daily administration of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and ≤ 20% bone marrow cellularity on bone marrow aspirate or biopsy any time in the first 2 years following transplant. Graft rejection will be defined by \< 5% of donor T cell (CD3+) chimerism in the absence of relapse.
