About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Myelodysplastic Syndromes focused on measuring stem cell transplant, allogeneic transplant

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS): Refractory anemia/refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts/refractory cytopenia with multilineage anemia (RA/RARS/RCMA) with high-risk cytogenetic features or transfusion dependence, as well as Refractory Anemia with Excess Blasts Type 1 and 2 (RAEB-1 and RAEB-2) Karnofsky (adult) Performance Status of at least 70% Adequate organ function measured by: Cardiac: asymptomatic or if symptomatic then left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at rest must be 50% and must improve with exercise. Hepatic: < 3x upper limit of normal (ULN) aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and: 1.5 total serum bilirubin, unless there is congenital benign hyperbilirubinemia or if the hyperbilirubinemia is directly caused by the disease in which the patient is receiving a transplant [e.g., acute myeloid leukemia (AML) Chloroma obstructing the biliary tree].

Willing to participate and must sign an informed consent form Exclusion Criteria: Pregnant or breast-feeding Active viral, bacterial or fungal infection Patient seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-I /II; human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-I /II Presence of leukemia in the central nervous system (CNS)

Arm Label

CD34+ Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cell (PBSC) Transplant with Busulfan/Melphalan/Fludarabine Regimen

Arm Description

Cytoreduction therapy: 0.8 mg/kg q6h x 12 doses busulfan via IV injection 70 mg/m^2/day x 2 days melphalan via IV infusion over 30 minutes 25 mg/m^2/day x 5 days fludarabine vis IV infusion over 30 minutes CD34+ selected, T-cell depleted, allogeneic PBSC transplant using CliniMACS system to select CD34+ cells

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in incidence of graft vs. host disease (GVHD)
Incidence of acute and chronic GVHD
Change in severity of acute graft vs. host disease (GVHD)
Severity of acute GvHD as graded using the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry Severity Index, which includes assessment of skin, liver, and gut, grading each's severity from 0 to 4 (higher numbers reflecting the more severe disease). The overall assessment is based on the involvement and severity of each of the areas. A = Stage 1 skin involvement, no liver or gut involvement; B = Stage 2 skin involvement, Stage 1 to 2 gut or liver involvement; C = Stage 3 skin, liver or gut involvement; D = Stage 4 skin, liver, or gut involvement.
Change in severity of chronic graft vs. host disease (GVHD)
Severity of chronic GvHD as graded using the NIH scoring system, which includes assessment of skin, mouth, eyes, GI tract, liver, lungs, joint/fascia, and genital tract and grades the severity of affected organs from 0 to 3 (higher scores reflecting the more severe disease). The overall assessment is based on the number of organs/sites with clinically significant functional impairment (i.e., score 2-3). No GVHD = no organs/sites with significant functional impairment; Mild GVHD = involves two or fewer organs/sites with significant functional impairment; Moderate GVHD = involves three or more organs/sites with significant functional impairment -OR- involves one or zero organs/sites with NO significant functional impairment; Severe GVHD = Major disability caused by chronic GVHD.
Change in incidence of relapse-free mortality (transplant-related mortality)
Incidence of relapse-free mortality, defined as mortality related to the transplant rather than the disease
Change in overall survival
Incidence of overall survival, defined as time from transplant to death or last follow-up.
Change in disease-free survival
Incidence of disease-free survival, defined as the minimum time interval of relapse/recurrence, to death or to the last follow-up, from the time of transplant.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Proportion of patients receiving optimal vs. suboptimal CD34+/CD3+ PBSC doses
Proportion of patients receiving optimal CD34+ (>5 x 10^6/kg) and CD3+ (< 5 x10^4/kg) cell doses versus the proportion recurring suboptimal doses (<3 x 10^6/kg) CD34+ cells; and the proportion of patients receiving CD3+ T-cell doses (>5 x 10^4/kg)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will evaluate whether processing blood stem cell transplants using an investigational device (the CliniMACS system) results in fewer complications for patients who undergo transplant to treat a blood malignancy (cancer) or blood disorder. The CliniMACS system will be used to remove immune T-cells from the transplant donor's blood. Immune T-cells contribute to graft versus host disease (GVHD) - a serious complication that can happen after transplant. GVHD occurs when a patient's immune system attacks the donor's cells. The study aims to reduce the number of the donor immune T-cells thereby preventing or reducing the severity of GVHD.
