About this trial
The Flu-TBI 800 trial is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, interventional phase 2 study to evaluate whether fludarabine plus intermediate-dose total body irradiation (TBI 800 cGy) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) (experimental regimen) improves the 1-year survival of allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms with less than 5% blast in the marrow and peripheral blood;
Disqualifiers
Hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index above 3.
Patients with a Karnofsky performance status (KPS) of <60%.
Patients with active infections or other contraindications for allogeneic stem cell transplant.
Patients who are unable or unwilling to give informed consent.
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Fludarabine
DrugPatients will receive fludarabine administered at the dose of 30 mg/m2 intravenously daily on Days -6 to -2
Intermediate-dose Total Body Irradiation (TBI)
RadiationPatients will receive intermediate-dose total body irradiation (TBI) administered at the dose of 800 cGy in 4 total fractions, 2 fractions per day on Days -2 to -1
Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide (PTCy)
DrugPatients will receive post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) administered at the dose of 40 mg/kg intravenously on Days +3 to +4.
Tacrolimus
DrugPatients will receive tacrolimus administered at a dose adjusted to maintain trough levels between 5-15 ng/mL orally starting on Days +5.
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)
DrugPatients will receive mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) administered at the standard dose of 15 mg/kg orally three times daily starting on Day +5 to Day +35 or per institutional guidelines.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Overall survival (OS) at 1-year following treatment with fludarabine plus intermediate-dose total body irradiation (TBI 800 cGy) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)
OS is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to the time of death due to any cause. Patients who are still alive will be censored at the date last known alive of the data cut-off date (if applicable), whichever is earlier.
Secondary outcomes
Transplant-related mortality (TRM) at 1-year following treatment with fludarabine plus intermediate-dose total body irradiation (TBI 800 cGy) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)
TRM is defined as death due to causes unrelated to the underlying disease. Patients relapsing are censored as surviving at the time of relapse.
Incidence of grade III-IV acute GVHD following treatment with fludarabine plus intermediate-dose total body irradiation (TBI 800 cGy) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)
Acute GVHD will be assessed using the Przepiorka criteria,13 Modified Glucksberg/Keystone criteria, and Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) severity index (A-D) according to HMH's standard operating procedure (SOP), "Management of Acute Graft versus Host Disease, BMT 500 15."
Incidence of chronic GVHD at 1-year following treatment with fludarabine plus intermediate-dose total body irradiation (TBI 800 cGy) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)
Chronic GVHD will be assessed based on the 2014 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference Criteria according to HMH's SOP, "Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease, BMT 500 11."
GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) at 1-year following treatment with fludarabine plus intermediate-dose total body irradiation (TBI 800 cGy) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)
GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) is a composite endpoint that includes grades 3-4 acute GVHD, chronic GVHD requiring systemic therapy, relapse, or death in the first post-transplant year.
