225Ac-DOTA-Anti-CD38 Daratumumab Monoclonal Antibody With Fludarabine, Melphalan and Total Marrow and Lymphoid Irradiation as Conditioning Treatment for Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Patients With High-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Description:

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of 225Ac-DOTA-Anti-CD38 daratumumab monoclonal antibody in combination with fludarabine, melphalan and total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) as conditioning treatment for donor stem cell transplant in patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Radioimmunotherapy is treatment with a radioactive substance that is linked to a monoclonal antibody, such as daratumumab, that will find and attach to cancer cells. Radiation given off by the radioisotope my help kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. TMLI is a targeted form of body radiation that targets marrow, lymph node chains, and the spleen. It is designed to reduce radiation-associated side effects and maximize therapy effect. Actinium Ac 225-DOTA-daratumumab combined with fludarabine, melphalan and TMLI may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective as conditioning treatment for donor stem cell transplant in patients with high-risk AML, ALL, and MDS.

Inclusion
  • DONOR SPECIFIC CRITERIA: All candidates for this study must have an human leukocyte antigen (HLA) (A, B, C, and DR) identical sibling who is willing to donate mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (preferred) or bone marrow, or have a 10/10 (A, B, C, DR and DQ) allele matched unrelated donor. DQ or DP mismatch is allowed per discretion of the principal investigator. City of Hope (COH) standards of practice (SOP) (B.001.11) will be used for allogeneic donor evaluation, selection, and consent. Donor screening will be in compliance with all requirements of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation 21 CFR Part 1271 including donor screening for COVID-19 exposure or infection
  • Patients must have a serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 times the institutional upper limits of normal (To be performed within 30 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy unless otherwise stated)
  • Acute myelogenous leukemia:
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome in high-intermediate (int-2) and high-risk categories per Revised International Prognostic Scoring System- (IPSS-R)
  • Acute lymphocytic leukemia
  • Patients must have a serum bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dl (To be performed within 30 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy unless otherwise stated)
  • Patients with chemosensitive active disease defined as at least 50% reduction in their blast count after last treatment
  • Patients with a complete response (CR) with MRD-positive status by flow cytometry (≥ 0.1% by flow cytometry) or cytogenetics after at least 2 prior induction therapies, OR
  • Patients with de novo or secondary disease in unfavorable risk group including poor risk cytogenetics according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for AML i.e., monosomal karyotype, -5,5q-,-7,7q-,11q23-non t(9;11), inv (3), t(3;3), t(6;9), t(9;22) and complex karyotypes (≥ 3 unrelated abnormalities), or all patient in intermediate risk groups accept patients with FLT3-NPM1+ disease, OR
  • Eligible patients will have a histopathological confirmed diagnosis of hematologic malignancy in one of the following categories :
  • A pretreatment measured creatinine clearance (absolute value) of ≥ 60 ml/minute (To be performed within 30 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy unless otherwise stated)
  • Patients with de novo or secondary disease according to NCCN guidelines for ALL hypoploidy (\< 44 chromosomes); t(v;11q23): MLL rearranged; t(9;22) (q34;q11.2); complex cytogenetics (5 or more chromosomal abnormalities); high white blood cell (WBC) at diagnosis (≥ 30,000 for B lineage or ≥ 50,000 for T lineage); iAMP21loss of 13q, and abnormal 17p, OR
  • Patients with chemosensitive active disease defined as at least 50% reduction in their blast count after last treatment
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70
Exclusion
  • The recipient has a medical problem or neurologic/psychiatric dysfunction which would impair his/her ability to be compliant with the medical regimen and to tolerate transplantation or would prolong hematologic recovery which in the opinion of the investigator (treating physician) would place the recipient at unacceptable risk
  • Inclusion of other patients with previous radiation exposure will be determined based on the radiation oncologist medical doctor (MD) principal investigator (PI) evaluation and judgement
  • Patients who have had prior radiotherapy
  • Patients who have received prior radiopharmaceutical therapy
  • Patients should have discontinued all previous intensive therapy, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy for 2 weeks prior to commencing therapy on this study. Note: Low dose chemotherapy or maintenance chemotherapy given within 7 days of planned study enrollment is permitted. These include hydroxyurea, 6-meraptopurine, oral methotrexate, vincristine, oral etoposide, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). FLT-3 inhibitors can also be given up to 3 days before conditioning regimen
  • For patients with leukemia or MDS: Patients may not have received more than 3 prior regimens, where the regimen intent was to induce remission
  • Patients who had a prior allogeneic transplant
  • Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics)
  • Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures
