BeFluBu vs FluBuRux Conditioning in Haploidentical HCT

Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation irrespective of the conditioning intensity and graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis is associated with high frequency of primary and secondary graft failure. Different technologies of with replete or depleted graft are associated with 7-20% of graft failures in different diseases. Fludarabine and busulfan conditioning is the most commonly used approach for a variety of diseases. In two previously completed trials of addition of either bendamustine and ruxolitinib to conditioning we observed low rates of primary graft failure with both approaches. The study is the direct randomized comparisons of these two approaches with the primary aim of reducing composite events of primary graft failure, relapse and non-relapse mortality. The stratas for the study are Disease Risk Index (DRI) and the age of the haploidentical donor (<35 vs ≥35).

Treatment and study plan

Bendamustine Hydrochloride

Drug

Days -7 through -6: Bendamustine 90 mg/m2 iv x 2 days

Ruxolitinib

Drug

Days -7 through -2: ruxolitinib 5 mg tid per os

Primary outcomes

  1. Event-free survival

    Time frame: 2 years

    Measure: Kaplan-Meier estimate of either relapse, primary or secondary graft failure or death from all causes

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cumulative incidence of primary and secondary graft failure

    Time frame: 365 days

    Cumulative primary and secondary graft failure, competing risk is death and relapse

  2. Incidence of HSCT-associated adverse events (safety and toxicity)

    Time frame: 125 days

    Toxicity assessment is based on presence of NCI CTC AE 5.0 event grades 3-5. Veno-occlusive disease incidence and severity assessment is based on EBMT criteria 2020. Transplant-associated microangiopathy incidence assessment is based on Harmonization criteria by Schoettler et al. All toxicity measurements will be aggregated as severity scores

  3. Infectious complications, including analysis of severe bacterial, fungal and viral infections incidence

    Time frame: 100 days

    proportion of patients, requiring systemic treatment for bacterial, viral and fungal disease

  4. Cumulative incidence of acute GVHD grade II-IV

    Time frame: 125 days

    Cumulative incidence of patients with acute GVHD II-IV grade, competing risk is death, relapse and primary graft failure

  5. Incidence of moderate and severe chronic GVHD

    Time frame: 2 years

    Cumulative incidence of patients with moderate and severe chronic GVHD according to NIH 2015 criteria, competing risk is death, relapse and primary graft failure

  6. Non-relapse mortality analysis

    Time frame: 2 years

    Cumulative incidence of patients with mortality without hematological relapse of malignancy

  7. Overall survival analysis

    Time frame: 2 years

    Measure: Kaplan-Meier estimate of death from all causes

  8. GVHD-relapse-free survival analysis

    Time frame: 2 years

    Measure: Kaplan-Meier estimate of death, acute GVHD grade III-IV, severe chronic GVHD or relapse

  9. Relapse cumulative incidence analysis

    Time frame: 2 years

    Cumulative incidence of patients with relapse, competing risk is non-relapse mortality
