Donor Blood Stem Cells (Ex Vivo TCR Alpha/Beta and CD19-Depleted Stem Cells) for the Prevention of Graft-versus-Host Disease in Pediatric Patients with Blood Cancer
This phase I trial tests whether a modified (Ex Vivo TCR alpha/beta and CD19-depleted) stem cell transplant works to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children and young adults with blood cancer. The purpose of a stem cell transplant is to use the stem cells from a healthy donor to replace the diseased bone marrow in the recipient. Patients in this study are undergoing a stem transplant, which is also known as an haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). A haploidentical donor is a donor who is considered half-matched (a sibling, child, or parent). The challenge in receiving a transplant from a haploidentical donor rather than a fully matched donor is that there is a higher risk of experiencing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD happens when the T-cells (immune cells) from the donor recognize the patient's body as foreign and attack it. TCR alpha/beta cells are the immune cells thought to be the primary cause of GVHD. In this study, a device called a ClinicMACS removes alpha/beta T cells and CD19 B cells from the donated blood stem cell product, which may help prevent GVHD from developing.

- PATIENTS: The effects of these treatments on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, patients of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and for 24 months following transplant. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she must inform her treating physician immediately.

- DONOR: At least 18 years of age
- DONOR: Meets the selection criteria as defined by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Hematopoietic Cell Therapy (FACT)
- DONOR: Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB-approved written informed consent document (or that of legally authorized representative, if applicable).
Exclusion Criteria
- PATIENT: Available matched related donor. A patient with a matched unrelated donor is eligible if urgent transplantation is required. A prior unrelated donor search is not required for enrollment
- PATIENT: Active non-hematologic malignancy. History of other malignancy is acceptable as long as therapy has been complete and there is no evidence of disease
- PATIENT: Currently receiving any other investigational agents at the time of transplant

- PATIENT: Presence of significant anti-donor HLA antibodies per institutional standards. Anti-donor HLA Antibody Testing is defined as a positive crossmatch test of any titer (by complement dependent cytotoxicity or flow cytometric testing) or the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of any anti-donor HLA antibody by solid phase immunoassay
- PATIENT: Presence of a second major disorder deemed a contraindication for HSCT
- PATIENT: Pregnant and/or breastfeeding. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days of the start of conditioning. * Women of childbearing potential (defined as women with regular menses, women with amenorrhea, women with irregular cycles, women using a contraceptive method that precludes withdrawal bleeding, and women who have had a tubal ligation) are required to have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days prior to the start of conditioning (recipients only). Female and male patients (along with their female partners) are required to use two forms of acceptable contraception, including one barrier method, during participation in the study and for 2 years following transplant. If a patient is suspected to be pregnant and is actively receiving treatment, treatment should be immediately discontinued. In addition, a positive urine test must be confirmed by a serum pregnancy test. If it is confirmed that the patient is not pregnant, the patient may resume dosing.
