Intensive conditioning for myeloid cancers with extramedullary involvement

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, single-arm, prospective clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of an intensive conditioning regimen using thiotepa, busulfan, fludarabine, and cytarabine for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for myeloid malignancies that have spread beyond the bone marrow. The regimen is administered over a series of days leading up to the stem cell infusion, with follow-up bone marrow examinations scheduled at regular intervals post-transplant. The study aims to assess how well this approach can control the disease and improve patient outcomes.

2. Criteria for myeloid tumors with extramedullary involvement:

   1. AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) with at least one extramedullary lesion achieving hematological remission (CR1 or CR2) after induction therapy.
   2. MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome) with at least one extramedullary lesion and bone marrow blast percentage ≥ 5% achieving hematological CR after treatment; CMML (Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia) with at least one extramedullary lesion (diagnosed according to WHO standards) achieving hematological CR after treatment.
   3. Control and remission of extramedullary lesions, including those in the central nervous system, testes, skin, and other extramedullary tissues.
   4. Granulocytic sarcoma with or without bone marrow involvement, and achieving remission after treatment.
3. Patients must have a suitable hematopoietic stem cell donor:

   1. Related donors must have at least 5/10 matches for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DQB1, and - DRB1.
   2. Unrelated donors must have at least 8/10 matches for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DQB1, and

      * DRB1.
4. Hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index (HCT-CI) score ≤ 2.
5. ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status: 0-2.
6. Adequate liver, kidney, and cardiopulmonary function, meeting the following requirements:

   1. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5x ULN (the upper limit of normal).
   2. Cardiac function: Ejection fraction ≥ 50%.
   3. Baseline oxygen saturation \> 92%.
   4. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN; ALT and AST ≤ 2.0 x ULN.
   5. Pulmonary function: DLCO (corrected for hemoglobin) ≥ 40% and FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) ≥ 50%.
7. Patients must have the ability to understand and be willing to participate in this study and sign an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of malignancies other than myeloid tumors within the 5 years prior to screening, except for adequately treated in situ cervical cancer, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and curatively treated localized prostate cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ.
2. ECOG \> 2.
3. HCT-CI score ≥ 3.
4. Any unstable systemic diseases, including but not limited to unstable angina, recent cerebrovascular accidents or transient ischemic attacks within the 3 months prior to screening, myocardial infarction within the 3 months prior to screening, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] class ≥ III), severe arrhythmias requiring drug treatment after pacemaker implantation, significant liver, kidney, or metabolic diseases, and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
5. Active, uncontrolled infections, including those associated with hemodynamic instability, new or worsening infection symptoms or signs, new infectious lesions on imaging, or persistent unexplained fever without signs or symptoms of infection.
6. Conditions requiring treatment such as grade 2 or higher seizures, paralysis, aphasia, recent severe cerebral infarction, severe traumatic brain injury, dementia, Parkinson's disease, or schizophrenia.
7. HIV-infected individuals.
8. Active hepatitis B (HBV) or active hepatitis C (HCV) requiring antiviral therapy.

   Patients at risk of HBV reactivation, are defined as those who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen or core antibody without receiving antiviral therapy.
9. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
10. Fertile males and females unwilling to use contraception during the treatment period and for 12 months after treatment.
