About
Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) has emerged and been increasingly adopted as a modality to allow preparative conditioning pre transplant to be tolerated by older adults or those patients that are otherwise unfit for myeloablative conditioning. In this study, we aim to use RIC followed by matched related/unrelated donor, 7/8 matched related/unrelated donor, or haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Standard strategies to control the alloreactivity following HCT utilize immunosuppressive or cytotoxic medications. In this study, we explore donor graft engineering to enrich for immmunoregulatory populations to facilitate post transplantation immune reconstitution while minimizing graft versus host disease (GVHD) with post-transplant immunosuppressive agents.
Full description
The objectives for the study are listed below:
Primary Objectives
*Determine the safety, and feasibility of administration of several dose combinations of conventional T-cells (Tcon) and regulatory T-cells (Treg) in subjects undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with related/unrelated HLA-matched or mismatched donors, or haploidentical donors with reduced intensity conditioning preparative regimen.
Secondary Objectives
- To determine the GVHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) post-HCT
- To determine the overall survival (OS) post-HCT
- To measure the incidence and severity of acute and chronic GVHD
Exploratory Objectives
- To measure the incidence of serious infections
- To measure the incidence and timing of engraftment
- To measure T cell immunity reconstitution parameters

Acute myeloid, leukemia, or mixed phenotype leukemia that is either:
-
Not in morphologic CR with bone marrow infiltration by leukemic blasts of ≤10%, or
-

-
Availability of a 8/8 HLA-matched donor (related or unrelated) defined by Class I (HLA-A, -B, -C) serologic typing (or higher resolution) and Class II (HLA-DRB1) molecular typing.
c. For Arm B (CLOSED):
-
Availability of a haploidentical donor who is a ≥ 4/8 but <7/8 match at HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 (typed using DNA-based high-resolution methods), with at most one mismatch per locus d. For Arm C1 (CLOSED) and C2:
-
Availability of a 8/8 HLA matched donor (related or unrelated) defined by Class I (HLA-A, B, C) serologic typing (or higher resolution) and Class II (HLA DRB1) molecular typing.
c. Age ≥ 18 and ≤75 years old at the time of enrollment. d. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45% e. Diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≥ 50% f. Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min or creatinine < 2.0 mg/dL g.
