Phase I Study of Escalating Doses of 225Ac-DOTA-Anti-CD38 Daratumumab Monoclonal Antibody Added to the Conditioning Regimen of Fludarabine, Melphalan and Organ Sparing Total Marrow and Lymphoid Irradiation (TMLI) as Conditioning for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation 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 c

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 Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who had a prior allogeneic transplant * All patients with prior radiation treatment to the lung, liver, and kidney * Patients who have received prior radiopharmaceutical therapy * 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 * For patients with leukemia or MDS: Patients may not have received more than 3 prior regimens, where the regimen intent was to induce remission * Receiving any other investigational agents or concurrent biological, intensive chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the previous 2 weeks from conditioning * 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 * History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to study agent * Patients with other active malignancies are ineligible for this study, other than non-melanoma skin cancers * Patients should not have any uncontrolled illness including ongoing or active bacterial, viral or fungal infection * 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 * Females only: Pregnant or breastfeeding * 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 * 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)
