Benadamustine, Fludarabine and Busulfan Conditioning in Recipients of Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation (FluBuBe)

Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation irrespective of the conditioning 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 10-20% of graft failures. Fludarabine and busulfan conditioning is the most commonly used approach for a variety of disease. Furthermore combination of fludarabine and bendamustine was sufficient to facilitate engraftment in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and lymphomas. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether addition of bendamustine to fladarabine and busulfan conditioning reduces the risk of primary graft failure after haploidentical allograft.

  • Moderate or severe cardiac dysfunction, left ventricular ejection fraction <50%
  • Moderate or severe decrease in pulmonary function, FEV1 <70% or DLCO<70% of predicted
  • Respiratory distress >grade I
  • Severe organ dysfunction: AST or ALT >5 upper normal limits, bilirubin >1.5 upper normal limits, creatinine >2 upper normal limits

Primary outcomes

  1. - Incidence of primary and secondary graft failure

    Time frame: 100 days

    Proportion of patients with primary and secondary graft failure defined by the absence of donor chimerism

Secondary outcomes

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

    Time frame: 125 days

    Toxicity assessment is based on NCI CTC AE 5.0 grades. Veno-occlusive disease incidence and severity assessment is based on EBMT criteria 2016. Transplant-associated microangiopathy incidence assessment is based on Cho et al. criteria. All toxicity measurements will be aggregated as severity scores.

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

    Time frame: [ Time Frame: 100 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

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

  3. - Incidence of acute GVHD grade II-IV

    Time frame: 125 days

    Cumulative incidence of patients with acute GVHD II-IV grade

  4. - Incidence of moderate and severe chronic GVHD

    Time frame: 365 days

    Cumulative incidence of patients with moderate and severe chronic GVHD according to NIH 2015 criteria.

  5. - Non-relapse mortality analysis

    Time frame: 2 years

    Cumulative incidence of patients with mortality without hematological relapse of malignancy

  6. - Overall survival analysis

    Time frame: 2 years

    Kaplan-Meier estimate of death from all causes

  7. - Event-free survival analysis

    Time frame: 2 years

    Kaplan-Meier estimate of death or relapse

  8. - Relapse rate analysis

    Time frame: 2 years

    Cumulative incidence of patients with relapse
