This is a prospective observational cohort study of haploidentical transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide for acute leukemias using reduced intensity conditioning for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myeloablative conditioning for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the most effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), with the lowest rates of relapse. Fertility rate in Brazil is falling, and only 25% of people born today will have a matched sibling donor. On the other hand, currently donor non-related to about 50% of patients enrolled in Brazilian Receptor Registry (REREME). Consequently, at least 35% of patients won't have a matched donor. The haploidentical transplantation is defined as a partially matched hematopoietic cell transplantation, using a partially matched family donor (parent, sibling or child). Haploidentical transplantation activity is growing worldwide, with results comparable matched unrelated donors. The objective of this study is to test the feasibility of haploidentical transplantation with post transplant cyclophosphamide for acute leukemias in a Brazil.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
30
Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation from a related donor (partially matched sibling, father, mother, son or daughter).
Instituto Nacional de Cancer
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
RECRUITINGOverall Survival
1-year overall survival. Survival curves will be estimated by Kaplan-Meier methodology.
Time frame: 1 year
Cumulative incidence of leukemia relapse
Relapse will be defined by reappearance of Leukemic Cells in bone marrow (\>5%) or peripheral blood (\>1%). Risk factors for leukemia relapse will be estimated by extended Cox Model for competing risks (Fine \& Gray model). Competing event will be defined as death in remission.
Time frame: 5 years
Transplant Related Mortality
Transplant-related mortality (TRM) will be defined as death in remission. Risk factors for TRM will be estimated by extended Cox Model for competing risks (Fine \& Gray model). Competing event will be defined as leukemia relapse.
Time frame: 6 months
Cumulative Incidence of acute Graft Versus Host Disease
Acute graft versus host disease will be diagnosed and graded by modified Glucksberg criteria. Risk factor for acute graft versus host disease will be estimated by extended Cox Model for competing risks (Fine \& Gray model). Cumulative incidence curves will be estimated by Gray methodology.
Time frame: 5 years
Cumulative Incidence of chronic Graft Versus Host Disease
Chronic graft versus host disease will be diagnosed and graded by National Institute of Health Consensus (NIH Consensus). Risk factor for chronic graft versus host disease will be estimated by extended Cox Model for competing risks (Fine \& Gray model). Cumulative incidence curves will be estimated by Gray methodology.
Time frame: 5 years
Cumulative Incidence of Infectious Complications
Cumulative incidence of viral, fungal and bacterial infections. Subgroups will be compared by Cox Model for competing risks (Fine \& Gray model). Cytomegalovirus reactivation will be analyzed by multiple events Cox Model.
